So talking to my buddy about all the "junk" loaded on the Samsung, he kept raving about how his old Nexus One was just the way I would like it. I would like to have a "plain" version of Android 2.1 on my phone. I have a coworker friend that's a Linux guru that's willing to help. Here's my questions.
Can I take take the Samsung released source for the hardware drivers and compile it with a stock Android 2.1 platform? I'm not asking for step by step. More of a 10,000 foot how to. Is that possible?
Can you leave the CSC and Modem info the same and just install a PDA ROM with Odin? Or would you be overwriting all of that info on the phone?
Thanks and if this has been answered before, please fill free to say "search is your friend" and give me the links...

I'll second this and ask that if you do figure it out, please share with the community.
I think that vanilla Roms are a little further away in the future. First step in the process right now would be for someone to be able to compile a kernel from the Samsung released source code that works. Unfortunately the current Captivate kernel source code, when compiled, causes issues (voices garbled, lag when waking up the phone) that are not present in the stock precompiled kernel. These bugs are apparently not present in the other versions of the source code. Once these initial bugs are ironed out, we can truly start down the path of having custom fixes, and the devs can start to focus on bigger challenges, like making the vanilla Eclair or Froyo Roms to start working with our kernel. Good thing about this phone is that there are going to be so many versions of it, that parallel development is happening on multiple platforms. This will likely produce independent breakthroughs that could be theoretically ported between the platforms, but unfortunately it also slows down the development of each platform due to the quirks that have to be overcome. I hope that, in the future, we get to a place where all the source codes are merged into master repository that has all the necessary improvements and the ability to overcome individual platform quirks, so that the development can proceed more rapidly.

Check out this wiki from cyanogen:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
On the bottom right you will see an advanced section that explains how to build from source code. (aosp)
Good luck!!! It's definitely not for me, not with kids and a full time job!
Good info. I haven't seen a post on people testing out the source code testing and their experience. Can you IM or point me to that?
Thanks!

Also for clarification, when you bought a Nexus One straight from Google for AT&T, was it considered "Vanilla"? Is the build on that phone just like someone downloaded the source for 2.1 and compiled it with the hardware drivers and that's it? I'm wondering what all comes on a "basic" Andriod ROM straight from the source.

Nexus One is as Vanilla as it comes. Just straight up Android! I don't think there is anything added to stock 2.1 or 2.2 on the Nexus.

The first two are attempts to recompile the kernel to put in the ext3/ext4 mimocan fix. The third one I believe is a script for boot logo animation hack to achieve the same thing.

So we've got the source code with drivers and know which ones to use from the T959 for fixing the voice issue. We've got the stock kernel. What's left to creat a plain jane captivate?

I'm guessing not too much. There are somethings that would need to be edited such as handling the capacitive buttons. The i9000 roms handle buttons differently regardless of the kernel so, its apparently an OS level config.
I've been wanting to work on this but I've been neck deep in source code from work.
Here is a good how to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704561

My point was that given the I9000 rom needs source level changes in order to work as expected(haptic feedback on certain buttons, etc) then running an AOSP build may require some source level changes as well. It may not be as simple as building and flashing.
Hi,
Whether and how to can decompile / decompress zImage?
S.
What is your reason to do this?
You can download source code, kernel is OpenSource ;-)

I know.
I can do: source to zImage
but I can not do: zImage to source

Considering how the OP dodged your question, I'd guess he wants to decompile a kernel for which no source code is / has been provided (idk, maybe he got his hands on an "experimental" kernel by Cotulla or something like that). Since that would imply some yet "unofficial" kernel, I'd say it's good that he can't decompile it
I'd be keen to learn a little about it too...
For example at the moment I'm running an older kernel tat has been undervolted/overclocked.
Obviously the kernels released by the devs are not undervolted.
So what I'd like to know is how to take the latest kernel and apply the undervolt/overclock to it or vice versa...

Maybe I'm being too risk-avoiding, but I'd stay away from especially anything that has to do with undervolting and overclocking, even if it means taking the functionality from source code that works and putting it in another piece of code... that may not be the best way to learn about how that kind of coding works
+1 for me too, the reason why I want to know is there is a solution to a problem in one kernel, which I want to see how it was fixed and to see if it can be added to another kernel.
And if you ask why not use the kernel that has the fix, the answer is compatability.
A decent answer wouldn't be bad, for me either.
I recently got a cheap 3Q Q-Pad tabby, which is closed, and 1GHz + 512MB RAM + ICS 4.0.3 is not a good mix :S

You're trying to build an aosp rom for the vibrant with 2.2 code? You do know there's a reason we don't have a build like that, correct?
The closest aosp 2.2 we got was CM6 partially functioning. Besides, gingerbread is what people want.

Thanks ill take a look at it when I get home I have a 15 page guide lol but ill look through that too never too much info
You might want to start with the CM7 source. Far as I know, that's the most stable code tree you can find for the Vibrant - the raw AOSP code will not work out of the box.
Starting from 2.2 AOSP you won't even know if it's a missing driver, bad compile, bug you introduced, bad build environment, etc when it doesn't work. Start with something that does work, and you can learn and try things out in a more controlled environment.

If you are trying to build a 100% working AOSP ROM for the vibrant you are waiting your time. Without source code for the drivers is not possible. Unless you know somebody that works in the development team in Samsung that can give you access to the source code you are out of luck...If you just want to mess around to learn then go for it...
Hi,
i know that the build would be slow as hell but has anyone compiled ICS for the G1? just for trying it ?
i would like to try it myself but i have no clue on how and from hat i`ve heard my computer would take ages to build it
It's done for droid eris, it can be ported to G1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352170
Porting would be inefficient when it can be built from source.
Unfortunately I can't do neither

As soon as the source was released I was thinking about trying to build it for "old reliable" (my nickname for my old G1). I know it would be slow as mud but I still want to give it a try. Problem is I've never compiled the source of Android before so I would be going in blind. I've read the info at source.android.com so I have somewhere to start. If anyone has any other guides/tutorials on how to build Android for a device then I would be really appreciative. I'm a Computer Science major so don't be afraid to throw a little code at me either. I'll include the details of my phone below in case anyone needs it.
HTC Dream
SPL: HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DangerSPL)
Radio: 2.22.19.261
OS: CyanogenMod 6.1 (Android 2.2.1)
You can have a look at Terry' ezGingerbread thread. Here he explains what to do to compile his ezGingerbread from the sources. Principally compiling ICS is the same, but you need to exchange / modify the manifest to your needs.

Thanks, I looked it up and it was really helpful. Just a couple of quick questions. Do you know how far from stock ezGingerbread is? What do you mean when you say manifest? When people port a new version to a new device how is it normally done?

It's almost stock, but there are some projects from CM included and some he cloned from CM or from other sites and manages them by himself. Details you can see it in his manifest.xml located in the .repo directory. The manifest defines, what projects are to be included and what branch you want to use for these projects.
You will not want my manifest for ICS (at least unless I make an ICS branch myself)
The reason is you will want to use the ICS git repos and not the GB git repos (original or cloned by me)
That said if you are new to building an android rom look at the structure using ezgb some, and build ezgb, then when you understand the structure clone ICS from aosp (see info on source.android.com) and create your own manifest from that including cloned git repos you need from ezgb with any addtl modifications required.
The first thing is:
* Git is the source control for all parts of android, however many (well over 200) git repos are used in ICS
* Repo is a tool (python script with plugins pulled from its own git repo) for maintaining all of the git repos used in an android build, and creating the true tree of repos needed for the work directoy.
* Manifest is a special git repository with default.xml (and sometimes other manifest xmls) used by the repo script to find all the projects other git repositories, as well as what branch/commit to checkout to the work directory.
Thanks for the advice guys. Glad to see the little G1 is still getting some love. I think I'll start by building ezGingerbread to get the handle on the build process for Android and at least get up to 2.3.
If anyone knows what kinds of modifications are normally needed for a port like this then I would appreciate the help. Is it normally just editing some config files or would I have to dive into the code? Thanks again.

Looks like someone has beaten me to the punch. Anyone interested shout go have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19648827
not exactly.
that is a port from a source-build for the hero
but very close
looks like the dev is trying to make a source build for the dream.
you could contact him so you can work together
Really get the cm9 source, pull forward the dream/sapphire device trees from cm7 (or firerats port of that) and it ought to be alright.
There seems little in the way of true cm bits at current (sure to change soon) but most of the hardware backwards compatibility patches are alredy in cm9 from the looks of it.. for all I know this is a cm9 build since aosp has no hero device tree out of box.
I was going to reply to that thread but since I'm still considered new I can't post to development threads. I guess I will PM the dev later to let him know I'm interested in helping him out.
Why would you build for another device if the dream has built into AOSP? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me unless they flat out took out the board file in ICS but you could easily put it back by pulling it from an earlier revision.

Ok, this is just something I have been playing with and thought I would share.
It is CyanogenMod 7.2, as close to stock as I can make it. I have taken a lot from Ezet and some stuff from Forumber.
This is not source based as I do not have a grunty enough system to build CyanogenMod from source.
Most importantly, I have started on a new kernel based on the TomGiordano source here:
https://github.com/TomGiordano/kernel_huawei
My Kernel Source:
https://github.com/PaulMilbank/kernel_huawei/tree/cm7-u8800-35
Will upload my source once I can sort out the sources on my computer. I am doing some mods on Aurora kernel too which I will release at some point.
After a few false starts, I compiled the source with their cyanogenmod_u8800_defconfig and it works pretty well for CM7.2.
I fixed atmel vibration using DZOs aurora commits as a guide.
Probably most broken stuff is defconfig related.
Bugs:
Keypad LED's do not work
Autobrightness does not work
Light sensors do not work- probably the cause of the above problems.
Camera force closes
You tell me
Working:
Wifi works
RIL works
Screen/video drivers work well, screen does not suffer annoying no wakeup for me like other kernels.
Atmel Virtual Key vibration works
You tell me
Get It Here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?b2dc7kdmixvas18
I will try and fix all these bugs, but I would be keen for some help too. I don't have time to be a full time dev.
As always, I am not responsible for any bricks, fires or nuclear wars that come about from installing this rom.
Please, please backup with CWM before flashing this.

This is just to see if I can get people interested in development. I will try document as much as possible what I do and see if we can get some people interested in building a kernel and getting a really good gingerbread cyanogenmod build out. If this goes nowhere, I will just focus on Aurora kernel and ICS. There are a few things I would like to try and include in Aurora to add some features.
We need good 2.6.35 source and this is a good source with a few small bugs, probably due to the config not being completely right. Hopefully they are minor and easily fixed. We have a lot of kernel development going on around the place and we can learn from commits to make a really good build hopefully.
Will try their 7x30_defconfig to make a kernel for my B528 rom too and see what works.
If you replace the boot.img in this rom with the boot.img in Forumber's latest cm7.2 build, it sould all work and give a 2.6.35 experience close to Ezet's 2.6.32 build. It will likely not be as stable because LEWA kernel on my phone at least, is crap.

We have a lot of kernel development going on around the place and we can learn from commits to make a really good build hopefully.
Will try their 7x30_defconfig to make a kernel for my B528 rom too and see what works.
If you replace the boot.img in this rom with the boot.img in Forumber's latest cm7.2 build, it sould all work and give a 2.6.35 experience close to Ezet's 2.6.32 build. It will likely not be as stable because LEWA kernel on my phone at least, is crap.

You can use VictorTeam's source.

Do you know where it is, I have not been able to find it. Thanks very much man. Keen top take a look at what they have been doing.

They have github group https://github.com/Victor-android
.35 kernel based CM7.2 would be pretty dope to me, especially if tethering works

Thanks, this will likely take a while longer than I thought it would as I am having trouble getting my sources synced locally and on github. If we can pull together all the sources into a kick ass kernel, we should have a really good CM7.2, I would like a rom with built in tethering too. It will just take some time. Running through DZOs excellent repo with a readymade .config and then making small changes is a lot easier than having to make it all up as we go and sort out sources and configs. Maybe I should not have been so cocky at the start!

Nice to hear that someone's still working on U8800's .35 kernel. Good job so far!

Do you use your vendor files for compiling CM7?

No, I am just using your and Ezets prebuilt binaries and apk's. I do not have the computer power or skill to build from source!

But you could compile kernel?
Compiling and downloading kernel is much smaller and faster. Also their are a lot of comments and files to follow.
Compiling cyanogenmod from source is a huge download and would take forever to compile on my computer. Plus nobody documents the process well and it us specialized to the phone.
Maybe if I can get a good kernel going, others can build cyanogenmod sources for .35 kernel. It all just takes time.

Will you try your luck with cm9/10?

Maybe Ezets here:
https://github.com/ezeteze/android_device_huawei_u8800.
Not sure otherwise. I don't have any vendor files sorry.
Use these vendor files: click. I built CM 7.2 yesterday and it works just fine with those vendor files.

but in this vendor,GPU can't run fully,has a little lag. If we solve this problem,we can make a good cm7 :good:

Guess it has something to with the "new" Adreno drivers. Might do some benchmarking later with the older ones. I haven't really experienced lagging myself though. it's kinda the same as w/ .32 based CM7 (especially when using ADWLauncher)
