[GUIDE] Setting up a build environment for CDMA Hero - Hero CDMA General

this is a guide for setting up a build environment on ubuntu 10.10. there has been similar guides but i did not have any luck with them. i'll just post step by step what i did to get a good build environment set up and compile jaybob's source.
install ubuntu 10.10
install ubuntu, install all the latest updates, DO NOT INSTALL UBUNTU 11.04 I MADE THIS FOR 10.10!!!
restart ubuntu
go to system, administration, update manager
go to settings
go to other software
check both canonical partners and click close
download python
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.5
download jdk 6
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu maverick partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
download sdk
download link: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r15-linux.tgz
take android-sdk-linux folder and move it inside your home folder
open terminal
cd android-sdk-linux
cd tools
./android
the sdk manager will open. download the platform tools and any sdk versions you wish to have
download git
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install git-core
install required build packages
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
configure your usb
gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
in the blank file that opens, paste this next line in the file:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
save and close the file.
then run in terminal:
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
cd
gedit .bashrc
in the file that opens, add these next lines to the top of the file:
#AndroidDev PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/
save and close the file, then in terminal, type:
source ~/.bashrc
then in terminal type:
which adb
which adb will show you your adb path. if it says "/home/YOURLINUXNAME/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools//adb" your path is good.
connect your phone, do not mount usb, make sure debugging is checked, then in terminal type:
adb devices
my device showed up as "0123456789ABCDEF device", as long as it says device at the end its good.
create directories
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
download repo and make executable
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
initialize the repository
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/TeamHeroC/manifest_aosp_heroc.git
(the repo above is jaybob's repo, there are a couple different repos you can choose from, you can download the AOSP repo, or cyanogenmod's repo aswell from the wiki)
repo sync
copy proprietary files
(must have jaybob's or a cm based rom already flashed to phone)
cd ~/android/system/device/htc/heroc/
./extract-files.sh
build the source
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_heroc-eng
mka bacon
if all goes well, your rom zip will be in ~/android/system/out/target/product/heroc/
*** when youre initializing the repository, if youre are compiling cyanogenmod's, follow the instructions in the wiki when you get to that section. if you are compiling aosp, follow the instructions on the aosp website. everything before that step should give you a good build environment to decide which source you want to build.***
Thank you:
dastin1015 - i used some of his guide and he is a great developer.

This step should no longer be needed when building from the TeamHeroC repos. I added the proprietary files some time ago to set up one-stop shopping and eliminate the need to do anything other than init, sync, lunch, and build (yes, I am just that lazy). The vendor device makefiles and proprietary files should already be pulled from the vendor_htc_heroc repo into vendor/htc/heroc. If something got trashed, the proprietary files can also be copied from the device/htc/heroc/prebuilt/proprietary folder, and the vendor device makefiles can be regenerated by running setup-makefiles.sh in the device/htc/heroc folder.
It is true that if building from CM7 or other repos, you will probably need to populate the proprietary files into the vendor/htc/heroc/... directories by running extract-files.sh or pulling them from koush's proprietary_vendor_htc repo (where vendor files for all CM7 supported htc devices are stored). You can clone his repo by running (in some other folder/location):
Code:
git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_htc.git
Then copying the heroc folder to vendor/htc/heroc.
This can come in handy if your mobile doesn't have a TeamHeroC or CM7 based ROM loaded, you can't connect to the machine you are building on, or your device is experiencing technical difficulties.
After an initial successful build you should be able to generate an update by another repo sync, lunch, mka bacon.
I would generally recommend doing a make clobber to wipe out the previous build artifacts and ensure a clean build when you generate the update. This does mean that you will recompile everything, so if you are working with a machine that takes a long time to build you may only want to do this if you are having problems or seeing unexpected results. My current build system can do a complete build from scratch in about 15 minutes, so I am now in the habit of doing this every time I build. The machine I originally used to build took over 90 minutes, so I was less likely to invoke clobbering time unless I had issues or was ready to post a release.

awesome guide!!! you the man!

[TUTORIAL][HOWTO] Building CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Thunderbolt [FINAL]

How to build your own CyanogenMod 7:
Install the Build Packages
Install using the package manager of your choice:
For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:
Code:
git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
For 64-bit only systems:
Code:
g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
NOTE: gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib is no longer available for Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, but should still build without issue.
NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:
Code:
add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"
Create the Directories
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
Install the Repository
Code:
curl "http://php.webtutor.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/repo" > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/ProTekk/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j16
Copy proprietary files
Code:
git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_htc.git ~/android/system/vendor/htc
Download RomManager
NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod.
Download RomManager which is needed by the build:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/htc/mecha
~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
Check for updates
First, check for updates in the source:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo sync
Configure Build & Compile
Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the Thunderbolt.
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch mecha
Now for the lazy people who don't want to type all that crap:
Download and run the new script: http://fzservers.com/newmecha.sh
You can do whatever you like while it runs. If you have never created a CyanogenMod repo on your local system then go out to dinner, grab some coffee, call your mother or do something time consuming because this will be a LONG wait depending on your Internet connection and system performance. The build will run as soon as the script sets everything up and again it is LOOOONG depending on the performance of your system.
Everything will be located in
Code:
~/android/system
Once it's done you can locate the flashable .zip in the "out" directory of your CyanogenMod repo. Happy crackflashing to all!
Reserved....
Fixed an issue with the build script. Please redownload it and try again.

[TUTORIAL ] Beginning development-the easy way

Ok so this is a guide that me and my friend made for compiling ROMs for our LG-P350 Now, this is pretty much universal and can be used for general development
This is the stuff you will need :
Ubuntu-can be found on the Ubuntu website http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=lts (this is a direct link to the Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit version)
Python (included)
GNU Make
Java Development Kit (JDK) 6
Git
Before you can do anything you need to install Ubuntu. You can go with newer versions but i still think that 10.10 is best and this guide is adapted to it. You can install it like dual boot or use Wubi (Windows Ubuntu Installer). However if you choose Wubi there is a good chance that you won't have enough storage, so that's not recommended.Those who want to dual-boot check out this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34669858&postcount=26
NOTE: You can do this in a virtual machine (for example VM Ware and Virtual box) but it will be a lot slower unless you have a VERY strong CPU and a LOT of RAM.
Generally Python is not needed since it's already in Ubuntu. However if you want to install it separately here's how:
First of all open the terminal. Now copy/paste these codes (one by one) and execute them:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc
cd Downloads
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.6/Python-2.5.6.tgz
tar -xvzf Python-2.5.6.tgz
cd Python-2.5.6
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python2.5
make
make test
sudo make install ([B]NOTE[/B]: [I]You will be asked for your password, enter it and press enter[/I])
sudo ln -s /usr/local/python2.5/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.5
Now you need Sun JDK 6. Same procedure as with Python:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
For those who get package error try these:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java6-jdk
Now that JDK is installed it's time for GNU Make:
First of all download GNU Make from link given. Download version 3.82
Now extract the downloaded file to your Home directory.
Go to Home directory and change the name of GNU Make To make
Now open the Terminal and type the following codes
Link: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/
Code:
cd make
./configure
sudo make install
Now make is installed.
Next, we are going to install the dependencies:
FOR UBUNTU 10.10
Codes to type in terminal :
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \ zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \ x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \ libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \ libxml2-utils xsltproc
export USE_CCACHE=1
If that method didn't work then try this:
You use the same commands BUT the first one is:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
Now it should download some stuff. When its done you need to do the same for the rest in the right order.
NOTE: Since I don't remember the right order i will just put the commands how they should be written if you get error read what's missing and put that in first.
Here are the rest of the lines:
Code:
sudo apt-get install zip curl
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install x11proto-core-dev
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
sudo apt-get install lib32readline5-dev
sudo apt-get install lib32z-dev
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib
sudo apt-get install mingw32
sudo apt-get install tofrodos python-markdown
sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
FOR UBUNTU 12.04
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Now for the Android SDK, ADB and ADB path:
1. SDK (Software-Development-Kit) :
Go to this link and download the Android SDK for Linux:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
After downloading it, extract it to the Home folder. You can probably extract where you want and change all the steps below to to fit your set up, but I like putting it in Home folder.
When you have extracted it in the Home folder change the name of the folder of android-sdk-linux to sdk.
Then open the Terminal and run these codes:
Code:
cd ~/sdk/tools/
./android sdk
When you run this, a window will pop up. For this you only need "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools". Just check these two and install them.
2. ADB (Android-Debug-Bridge):
Run this command to see if your ADB works. You have to have your android device connected in debugging mode.
Run these codes in the Terminal :
Code:
cd ~/sdk/platform-tools ./adb devices
When you entered the codes above, you should see something similar to this:
List of devices attached 0123456789ABCDEF device
NOTE: If you see output like given bellow we need to give the device permissions. Don't worry I had this too when I set my computer up for the first time.
List of devices attached ???????????? no permissions
Here is how we fix it:
Open the Terminal and type this:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
After you've entered it, a window will pop up that will be blank. Now add the following commands and save it.
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1004", MODE="0666"
Now save this File And follow the given codes
After you've entered those codes type these codes in too.
Code:
sudo service udev restart
sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
After you've entered those codes, restart Ubuntu.
Now to see if the problem is solved type these codes in:
Code:
cd ~/sdk/platform-tools ./adb devices
If everything is ok a output similar to this will be shown:
List of devices attached 0123456789ABCDEF device
Now to add the ADB path to system, so you don't have to cd to the SDK folder every time you want to use ADB:
So, first open up .bashrc with these codes:
Code:
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
A window will pop up and there will be some text there. Scroll down to the bottom and add these lines:
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:~/sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/sdk/platform-tools
After you've done that, save it and reboot Ubuntu.
If everything is ok, you will get some output when you type the following codes in the terminal.
Code:
./adb devices
OR
Code:
adb shell
If you see:
Code:
adb not found[CODE]
Then it means you've done something wrong and ADB is not configured.
Next is GIT:
Open the browser and download git from given link
[URL]http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.9.6.tar.gz[/URL]
Extract GIT-1.7.9.6.tar.gz to your home directory
Rename the folder you extracted to from GIT-1.7.9.6.tar.gz to git
After you've done that, enter the following codes in the Terminal
[CODE]sudo aptitude build-dep git-core
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
cd git
./configure
make
sudo make install
NOTE: If it doesn't work then install from this link:
http://kibyegon.wordpress.com/2010/0...u-lucid-10-04/
If the commands from above are not working then try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get install git
git
If it worked it should show this:
Code:
usage: git [--version] [--exec-path[=GIT_EXEC_PATH]] [--html-path]
[-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects]
[--bare] [--git-dir=GIT_DIR] [--work-tree=GIT_WORK_TREE]
[--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
The most commonly used git commands are:
add Add file contents to the index
bisect Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
branch List, create, or delete branches
checkout Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
clone Clone a repository into a new directory
commit Record changes to the repository
diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
fetch Download objects and refs from another repository
grep Print lines matching a pattern
init Create an empty git repository or reinitialize an existing one
log Show commit logs
merge Join two or more development histories together
mv Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
pull Fetch from and merge with another repository or a local branch
push Update remote refs along with associated objects
rebase Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head
reset Reset current HEAD to the specified state
rm Remove files from the working tree and from the index
show Show various types of objects
status Show the working tree status
tag Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG
See 'git help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
Now we will download the Repo and get the source code:
Codes to type in the Terminal :
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
sudo apt-get install curl
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
mkdir source
cd source
Ok so up to this part its mostly universal. However after this you need to sync up sources for your device. This will probably take a long time depending on your internet speed since the source is very big (also it will take up a lot of drive space: 14-30GB). After that you should build.
How to build
First you will need to get proprietary drivers from your device.
Connect your device via USB and enter the following commands (from the root of your source repository):
Code:
cd device/xxx/xxx where x is the path to your device
./extract-files.sh
cd ../../..
NOTE: Some developers can include these files in the source itself or can make them available for download from their Github page. Check that out with your developer for more info.
And start the build:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh xxx
NOTE:Here x also varies since its unique for every device model
Now Android is building. You may need to wait a long time (depending on your hardware-mainly CPU and RAM for example I have a quad core 2.92Ghz CPU and 6GB of HyperX DDR3 ram and it took me about 10min for CM7 and about 20-30 min for CM9).Once it's done you should get this message:
Code:
Package complete:xxx.zip
That is your flashable .zip file you install from recovery.
Credits: Many thanks go to Keyur Maru who helped me learn how to develop and for making the base of this guide.

Thanks we tried our best since this is supposed to boost our dev base for our LG
Definitely one to try at home!

Wow 10min is real fast!! I recently tried CM9 directly from one of the Dev's forked repo and after about 4hours of build I got some build error! I need to get a better computer soon if I plan to get my hands real dirty! And if I may I have few suggestions - please mention that it will take a while to download the full repo from google sources else beginners may end up thinking something is wrong(which I did since it took me one full day to sync everything) and that it needs atleast 20-30GB disk space too..(Coz not everyone has Ubuntu as the only OS, I have three in my lapi!!)
A very good guide on the whole for a beginner!!!

Very true a great in depth and very informative tutorial for noobs like i was this would have helped me a lot.... Great work
btw pranks1989 i can help you with compiling for defy.... I used to compile roms from eppy's and quarx2k github and never got a error once it else onece eppy pinted out the mistake i was doing.... just send me a pm of your errors and i will try help
Great start for me!
You have been thanked!
Great start for me!
What would the procedure be if you want to create a rom that you can flash via Odin or Heimdall on a Mac client?
The guide I've been looking for ever since I had my first Android device (actually, my Optimus Me is my first Android device)...
Thanks for this great guide. I will try it today.
I already compiled a Rom, it took me 40 min. AMD 8 Core 3,1 MHz and 16 GB DDR3
But when i try a different device i always get errors, i hope your Guide will get me in to it.

I don't know but it's surely different for odin(I'm not sure that you can).And I don't know on mac either since I use ubuntu and windows. You can look up info on this on the official Android dev website.

Odlicno objasnjeno za pocetnike. Svaka cast
Good Beginners Guide. Thank you.
But 90% of it can also be found here:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
This is what i used to build android for the pandaboard a few weeks ago.
And then I have a few questions.
1.
Why do you compile git when you can also download it from apt-sources? Imho this is just confusing for beginners.
2.
Where do you use git in your tutorial?
3.
Didn't you forget lunch and make at the very end of your tutorial?
". build/envsetup.sh" only sets up the environment, imho

How do I find out what the path is from my device?
I would add the option to install Ubuntu in a VM. Both VMWare player and VirtualBox are free and well supported. This way one can actually create some pre-packaged images with which one can start development right away. In fact I've already made two of them a year ago (one for Froyo and one for Gingerbread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881845
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022407
One might also make on for ICS (for that Ubuntu 12.04 is also good, and since VMWare Player is free one could use that instead of VirtualBox, as VMWP has more user-friendly features)
If I had a nickle for every time I've seen a thread like this, I would have... a nickle.
Thank you from the bottom of my /dev/hda1

True however unless you have a LOT of ram and a hexa-core CPU compilation under a vm is significantly slower and that's why I didn't add it.But the procedure is the same anyway.

1.Idk I found this thing simple as well
2.I will review it later since I'm on my phone now and its 00:13 here
3.I don't think it's necessary since I use the same procedure for my rom compilation. I will add it tough just in case someone gets an error.Thanks for the tip.

[Tutorial] Compile JB on Ubuntu for SII [Originaly By Dastin1015]

Please not that i don't take credits for this tutorial its dastin1015 who made this! but as many people don't look in other forums except the forum for their devices i would like to give you the info here about how to build JB from source​
Original Thread;Here=)
dastin1015 said:
To compile Jellybean on Ubuntu I'm going to first give you steps to set up your computer to get this thing rolling. Also note that this appears to be a development preview source code.
This will NOT make a fully functional ROM, but will give you a place to start. Also I CANNOT fix every error you run into.
Note: The source download is approximately 6GB in size. You will need 25GB free to complete a single build, and up to 80GB (or more) for a full set of builds.
1) You need the following:
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Jellybean. You can download it from java.sun.com. Or:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org. Or:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install python
-Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com. Or:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core
-Android SDK:
Download the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Extract the SDK and place it in your home directory.
I renamed my SDK to android-sdk to make it easier to navigate to.
Go to your home folder, press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up your .bashrc file.
Add these lines at the bottom of the file:
Code:
# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file:
Code:
PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
You have now successfully installed the Android SDK.
To check for updates issue this into your terminal:
Code:
$ android
2) Install required packages. 64-bit (recommended)
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils
On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so
Building on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently only experimentally supported and is not guaranteed to work on branches other than master.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
3) Configure your USB.
Code:
$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Inside of this blank text file insert:
Code:
#Acer
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"
#Samsung
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
4) Save the file and close it and then issue this command: [CODE]$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
5) Install the repo:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
6) Initialize the repo:
Code:
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.1.1_r1
6.1) For people who have already done a repo init:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -b android-4.1.1_r1
$ repo sync
7) When prompted, enter your real name and email address.
8) Gather the files: [CODE]$ repo sync
9) Compiling:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
10) Issue:
Code:
$ lunch
11) Pick your poison.
12) Now issue (The '#' is the number of cores your processor has plus 1, ex. I have a dual core processor so I type 'make -j3':
Code:
$ make -j#
~How To Add A Device To The List~
1) Find the github for your device you wish to add. (For me it is the HTC Evo 3D CDMA)
2) Now navigate to the location you are going clone the device tree to:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY/device
$ mkdir samsung
3) Clone the github device tree from remote to local: (The shooter would be whatever you want that folder to be named so make sure it is whatever standard name would be for your device, example: Nexus One [passion], Nexus S [crespo], Motorola Droid [sholes], HTC Incredible [inc], etc.)
Code:
$ git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_shooter.git shooter
4) Now navigate into the folder:
Code:
$ cd shooter
5) Connect phone to computer and make sure USB debugging is enabled and you have adb set up.
6) Extract Device Proprietary Files:
Code:
$ ./extract-files.sh
7) Navigate back to your home directory for building:
Code:
$ cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY
8) Prepare To Compile:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Or:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
9) Get your list of devices:
Code:
$ lunch
10) Pick your poison.
11) Now compile:
Code:
$ make -j#
Or for a flashable zip:
Code:
$ make -j# otapackage
~NOTE~
If you are running into issues such as:
Code:
Which would you like? [full-eng] 5
build/core/product_config.mk:209: *** No matches for product "full_shooter". Stop.
Device shooter not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Repository for shooter not found in the CyanogenMod Github repository list. If this is in error, you may need to manually add it to your local_manifest.xml.
build/core/product_config.mk:209: *** No matches for product "full_shooter". Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'full_shooter'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
What you need to do is to edit your blob to match the PRODUCT_NAME to the file name. For example with mine I have full_shooter.mk therefore in this file I need to have PRODUCT_NAME to match it. Whatever error it is looking for you just need to change the PRODUCT_NAME line to match what the error shows.

It's frowned upon to re-distribute threads across multiple forums, trust me it wasn't allowed for a thread compiled by RC's so the same will go for this and any other thread especially one that was published on the portal as has been made aware to alot of people. Regardless of them reading other forums its clear to see thanks to the new 2013 theme having the new sidebar with top stories where I saw it earlier today. Just a heads up

[GUIDE] Compile CM9 for the Thunderbolt

The purpose of this guide is to show the steps required to compile CM9 specifically for the Thunderbolt. This may be adapted for other ROMs in the future. However, I will not describe how to setup your development environment as that information changes based on distribution versions and has been done many times over. A few good references are here, with an example of mine at the end of this post:
CyanogenMod Wiki - Learning to Build CyanogenMod
CyanogenMod Build Guide for Nexus 7 (Use as an example)
My goal is to aid others in development as the steps to get everything working on the Thunderbolt are not straight-forward unless you know what they are. Even though I had plenty of sources when I started, I still had to spend many hours to get them working. The camera and radio need some extra steps, but those are now streamlined for both my benefit and everyone else's.
I added these steps on gist.github as scripts, although I have not tested them as such. It would be best if you do each line at a time to better understand what you're doing.
Build CM9 Thunderbolt - First Time Only
Build CM9 Thunderbolt - Subsequent Builds
For the first build only:
Code:
mkdir android
cd android/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
wget https://raw.github.com/jblack248/android/ics/local_manifest.xml -O .repo/local_manifests/cm_mecha.xml
repo sync
# Cherry-pick frameworks/base/libs/ui commit from Twisted

lunch cm_mecha-userdebug
# Make build then rebuild with radio - read script in vendor/htc/mecha-radio if interested

For subsequent builds:
Code:

lunch cm_mecha-userdebug
# Make build then rebuild with radio - read script in vendor/htc/mecha-radio if interested

How I set up the build environment on Xubuntu 13.04 64-bit - Gist.github:
Code:
echo "Install Android Development Tools and Dependencies"
sudo apt-get install -y android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev lib32z1-dev pngcrush schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib schedtool libc6-dev-i386 ccache
echo "Link zconf.h to fix Android compile issues in 13.04"
ln -s /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/zconf.h /usr/include
echo "Installing Development Tools"
sudo apt-get install -y meld gedit-plugins git gitk gtkhash
echo "Customize .bashrc"
echo "export USE_CCACHE=1" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "ccache -M 20G > /dev/null 2>&1" >> ~/.bashrc
# these locations will be different for you, depending on where you installed the SDK
# echo "export PATH=${PATH}:~/Documents/Development/bin:~/Documents/Development/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64/sdk/tools:~/Documents/Development/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools"
Just a note; for the sake of newbs you may want to include instructions on getting the repo script as it doesn't just work OOB.
Code:
remote object '/system/lib/libcamera.so' does not exist
remote object '/system/lib/libcneapiclient.so' does not exist
remote object '/system/lib/libcneqmiutils.so' does not exist
remote object '/system/etc/firmware/a225p5_pm4.fw' does not exist
remote object '/system/etc/firmware/a225_pfp.fw' does not exist
remote object '/system/etc/firmware/a225_pm4.fw' does not exist
remote object '/system/etc/firmware/a300_pfp.fw' does not exist
remote object '/system/etc/firmware/a300_pm4.fw' does not exist
I got this when running ./extract-files.sh although all other files extracted fine, and I'm assuming at the very least libcamera.so is 100% necessary.
You are correct, libcamera.so is especially needed. You can either copy the files manually or modify the extract-files.sh script and extract the ROM zip to a folder to copy the files locally instead of using ADB. Change 'adb pull' to 'cp' and modify the path of the first parameter to the ROM zip folder.
I referenced a couple other guides that help you get the development set up, even the repo bin. That information changes, has been done over many times, and isn't as useful in the long run unless I micro-manage this guide. If I get a chance I might flesh this out a little, but I'm not sure how much of a desire there is for this. I'll help where I can, though.
I updated the OP with fixes to make sure everything works automatically. You no longer have to use the extract-files.sh script (or setup adb) since I made a vendor repo to include all of those files for you. Thanks to santod and others for pointing out a number of problems.
Note: As of 2013-06-29 CM9 is in a broken state as we're getting the kernel and stock OTA blobs to work properly.

Guide: How To Build Your Own Stock AOSP For Your Nexus 7 (2013) KVT49L

PHP:
Guide: How To Build AOSP From Source With Linux Mint 16 - Nexus 7 (2013) KVT49L
Important Note: Do NOT use Linux Mint 16 KDE to do this guide, it will seriously mess up your programs menu when you remove the old Java. This guide has been tested and is working on Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon and Linux Mint 16 MATE
Got the KVT49L repos working and guide is updated to reflect this. This build includes several bug fixes from the KOT49H build but it is NOT 4.4.3, just an updated version of 4.4.2.
I started this guide as I could not find a step by step detailed guide to build a stock AOSP from source with Linux Mint 16.
All the steps should work in Ubuntu but I haven't tried so not 100% sure of that.
All this assumes your tablet is already unlocked.
Here goes:
Important note: Anything that is bolded text other then section titles are command line entries that are done in Terminal in Linux Mint. I thought it would be simpler to do it this way then say 'in Terminal' for every entry.
First we need to remove Icedtea Java or OpenJDK.
In Terminal: sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
Then in Terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
Next: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Be sure to accept the licence agreement to install java when it prompts you.
Next: sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python
Follow this with: sudo apt-get install -f
This should fix any dependency errors.
Now: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Next download the SDK Tools For Linux x64 from this link. https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then: cd ~/Downloads
And: tar -xvf android-sdk_r22.6.2-linux.tgz
or tab the latest 'android-sdk_xxx.tgz file it they update it and it is a newer version then the one I downloaded to do this.
You can rename the android.sdk_xxx.tgz folder you extracted to SDK.
Then: cd ~/Downloads/SDK/tools
Next: ./android sdk
It will show you the tools that can be installed, just install the highest version API of 'Platform Tools' and 'Tools' for the latest android version '4.4.x' it shows.
Make sure you install the repo tool, in Terminal:
With: mkdir ~/bin
Then: curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
And: curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
Now: sudo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Now sudo nano ~/.bashrc
Add this to the bottom of the text: export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Then hit Ctrl-O and enter, it should say it saved the file followed by Ctrl-X to exit.
Then restart bash: source ~/.bashrc
Now lets Initialize the Repository for GIT configuration
First : git config --global user.name {Your Name}
Then: git config --global user.email {[email protected]}
If you have not registered with the GitHub website just doing these two steps works fine.
If you have registered with the GitHub website create a file called .netrc in your home directory, add your GitHub password to it with no spaces on the first line and change the permissions to '600' or you will have to continually authenticate when building the source.
In Terminal:nano ~/.netrc
Then add just your GitHub password (like I said you only need to do this if you have registered with GitHub).
Then 'Ctrl-O' and enter and it'll say it saved it, then 'Ctrl-X' to exit nano.
And then: chmod 0600 ~/.netrc
Now: mkdir ~/AOSP
Then: cd ~/AOSP
Now you get the source code etc: repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4.2_r2
Then do in Terminal : repo sync -j12
Use repo sync -j12 for a quad core CPU or Intel I5 or if you have say an quad core I7 with 8 threads you can use repo sync -j24 to speed things up etc.
I have a I7 3930k with 12 threads so I used repo sync -j36. This gives you three threads per logical CPU and speeds things along quite well.
It may take several hours for the sync to finish.
After the sync finishes go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#razorkot49h and download the drivers (binaries) for the Nexus 7 (Wi-fi). You do need to use the KOT49H binaries and they work fine with the KVT49L build.
In Terminal: cp ~/Downloads/asus-flo-kot49h-a9532596.tgz ~/AOSP
Then: cp ~/Downloads/broadcom-flo-kot49h-c33beb3d.tgz ~/AOSP
And: cp ~/Downloads/qcom-flo-kot49h-f92d75b1.tgz ~/AOSP
In Terminal: tar -xvf asus-flo-kot49h-a9532596.tgz
And: tar -xvf broadcom-flo-kot49h-c33beb3d.tgz
Then: tar -xvf qcom-flo-kot49h-f92d75b1.tgz
If you have closed the Terminal after the sync remember to do: cd ~/AOSP
when you open Terminal again before doing the tar commands.
They should be the file names of the binaries for KOT49H that you are extracting but if for any reason the file names are different use the Tab key and tab the correct names in after 'tar -xvf'.
If the names ARE different I'd really check to make sure you downloaded the correct flo binaries.
Then: ./extract-asus-flo.sh
Now also in Terminal: ./extract-broadcom-flo.sh
And: ./extract-qcom-flo.sh
Hint: It will show you a really long licence agreement for each binary that you scroll by hitting the Enter key that takes forever to scroll one line at a time, it has 8 sections and several subsections. Hold the Enter key until you just get past Part 8, section D of the licence and stop there. Now hit enter a few more time one key stroke at a time until you finish Part 8 section E and see the 'Type 'I ACCEPT' to agree to the licence.' and type I ACCEPT If you just scroll by holding the Enter key all the way to the bottom of the licence you'll get an error you never accepted the licence. Then close Terminal.
Building the Sources
Now open Terminal: cd ~/AOSP
Then: . ./build/envsetup.sh
Now to select the type of device we give the following command: lunch
Choose: 11. aosp_flo-userdebug
by entering '11' or whatever number aosp_flo is after your enter the 'lunch' command (it was number 11 on mine).
Now: make -j12 for a quad core cpu or I5 or make -j24 for an I7 etc.
With your tablet connected to your USB cable and the PC: adb root
Then: adb reboot bootloader
And: cd out/target/product/flo
Lastly: fastboot -w flashall
If you get an error on the 'adb' and 'fastboot' commands do these first:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
and: sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
If you get an error when you fastboot -w flashall to do with a '-p' flag needed or 'android-info.txt' is missing it means you forgot to to the 'lunch' command before building the source. Go back to the 'Building The Sources' section.
If you already have a custom recovery installed like TWRP and would rather build a zip file to install with the recovery rather then flash it in adb instead of make -j12 do: make -j12 otapackage
In the /home/"yourusername"/AOSP/out/target/product/flo you have an aosp_flo-ota-eng.___.zip file to flash in your custom recovery.
You will need to wipe/reset data your in recovery before flashing it and re-install all your apps etc.
Installing Custom Recovery, Rooting and Google Apps
If you want to install a custom recovery download TWRP http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/flo
Rename the file in Downloads to recovery.img
Then in Terminal with your tablet connected by USB to your PC: adb root
And: adb reboot bootloader
Then: cd ~/Downloads
And: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Use the volume buttons on your phone to scroll onto "Restart Bootloader" and hit the powerbutton to select it. After the bootloader reloads, use the volume buttons to scroll to "Recovery Mode" and hit power button again to select it. You should then be in your custom recovery.
If for any reason you get a red android and no recovery just boot into fastboot mode again and reinstall the recovery.img.
And finally, to root your tablet download SuperSu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and install the supersu.zip in recovery mode.
Download PA GAPPS from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 if you want the zip to install Google Apps in recovery.
You now have your own rooted vanilla AOSP you compiled yourself, congrats!
P.S. Very likely a good idea wipe/reset data in recovery and start with a clean install, you'll need to install all your programs and stuff anyways I'm sure.
P.P.S.I did download and install the XPOSED Framework apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 after I put AOSP on my tablet so I could install Advanced Power Menu and some other add-ons like Boot Manager and Greenify. As well I installed a custom kernel with Faux Sound and Faux Kernel enhancements.
I think for the download repo tool section you only need the second (commondatastorage) one. The first one no longer works.
Other than that, it looks pretty good.
Awesome thanks!!!

Edit: I see the problem with the second curl command, when I save the post it shortens the url in the command with dots and when you copy and paste it it is incorrect and does not download, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it, every time I save the post no matter if I take the url code out or not it shortens it.
Second edit: I figured out a work-around and added it to the guide. It's half baked how I had to do it but at least it's working now.
hey all, sorry if this is off topic, but ive been looking for help everywhere and im about ready to give up, im trying to build evervolv for flo, i've got the source downloaded and im ready to build, the only thing im having trouble with is getting all the propratairy blobs and device spacific files from the n7. is there a way i can just sync up with cyanogenmods device repo or over right the repo that is build into evervolvs source? thanks for any help.

download the binaries and extract them as was shown in the OP.
Then do
make clobber
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
make (whatever option you decide, otapackage etc)
Make clobber is important because it ensures you start clean and that the binaries will be properly implemented in your rom.

I think you had the "commondatastorage" one right before. It is the "curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo" that doesn't work anymore.
So instead of those two steps, it should be just this one:
Download the Repo tool and ensure that it is executable:
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
I hope that makes more sense.
Great post! Thanks for this!
