I want to start developing a custom rom(or at least to try).But firstly I don't know how to setup git and python on ubuntu.I read on google that I need that files.And when I set them up,how can I get the source code?If you know,please help.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: We downloaded the cyanogenmod source code successfully with repo.
Another question: Do I need python when I have eclipse?
If you know how, please tell us!
I know you can download source codes at github.com.
That's all I know....

Get linux and learn to use then get git then use git to get repo then use repo to download sources.

I know how to use ubuntu.I think I downloaded the kernel yesterday but don't know where it is.
Currently there are no proper manifest for compiling Android 2.2 or 2.3 for LG Swift, those that exist are outdated or deleted by the developers. We need a correct manifest for,lg shift device, vendor, kernel..etc to start building.

Can somebody tell us how to compile the system and kernel for unsupported devices like the lg gt540?
this is from the readme with Quarx rom if that helps

Thanks for your reply!
This is the port of Ubuntu Phone to the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
What works:
Wifi (fixed on 18-07)
GSM (only mobile connection)
Webbrowsing
Taking photos (fixed)
If you haveing trouble with GSM give it time to connect. If its still not working check this : https://plus.google.com/100264483712374857174/posts/3o1tjYo9Ghx
CREDITS
thanks to chasmodo for
manifest additions
camera driver
runtime intermediates files
thanks to Gerrett for
the hint to remove the GalaxyNoteSettings from build
fixing the wifi issue
The short way:
Download, push to sdcard, reboot to recovery, do a backup, do a full wipe and flash(keep the order of the files)
quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
Ubuntu n7000 nightly build
The long way:
Here is the official Canonical's Porting Guide
here we have the cm nightlies from wich we take the binaries for the base system.
Now, I will set up my building system how described in the Guide (Since I've already a working Ubuntu 13.04 x64 PreAlpha installation, I'll use that as base)
Seting up the development environment
What is not in the guide:
Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
sudo apt-get install bzr
sudo apt-get remove openjdk-7-jdk
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
So, on the console
(if there are german speaking people following, this is how you can kill the waiting time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_poaB9jLAc and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMim3OV2cQE and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-jbeV_kpaU have fun)
Code:
mkdir -p UbuntuTouch/GT-N7000 #at a location with 20 gigs of free space(yes, its a lot :D )
cd UbuntuTouch/GT-N7000
git config --global user.email "[email protected]" #needs this only once for
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
phablet-dev-bootstrap ./ #this will take a while, it will download all sources except the kernel if I understood right
Edit .repo/manifest.xml and add following at the same xml level where the other project tags are.
(First search for, maybe they are already in that file)
Code:
then again on console:
Code:
repo sync
Code:
adb devices #just a short check to see if the connection is working, if it's in the list, go further, if not check whats the problem
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch cm_n7000-userdebug #if everything is ok, this will take a while
put the zip you get in the output onto your sdcard, download saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
reboot your n7000 into recovery mode, backup and flash first the preinstalled and then the build.
Have fun
Sounds good...keep us updated
Thanks
I have the required changes ready in the files incase someone is interested
was waiting for beerbong but he seems busy... times like these u wish u werent building remotely ^^
maybe utacka or chas(with his new pc) can help..
AW: [Ubuntu Touch] Porting the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview to GT-N700
So what does that mean toxic? Do u already ported it? ??
no I'll try it this weekend
Re: [Ubuntu Touch] Porting the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview to GT-N700
You don't have to use cm, you can use AOSP.
You can even use Samsungs kernel source (I haven't bothered building the latest so no idea how good it is our not) and the binary blobs from the latest stock build.
I'm building it for one of my tablets at the mo from AOSP, using an old but working kernel.

Thanks a lot to all the amazing work all the devs around here are doing. Love you all
AW: [Ubuntu Touch] Porting the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview to GT-N700
Repo is synced .. and all stuff done from ubuntus guide. But get build error. Will look at it tomorrow. Anyone got it to build?
Edit: okay, it only wants to build the note settings, needs to be removed from makefile.
Will now build overnight an hope its rdy in the morning

Forgive my offtopic, i'm interested of using Samsung sources for Galaxy SII i9100, instead of cyanogenmod 10.1, that isn't properly good for this device. can you tells me more about that?
Thanks to the amazing work of mapkel you can now use this script to compile and pack the kernel!
UPDATE: read mapkel's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43419784&postcount=45
Thank him here.
This is an informative guide and I decline responsibility for any damage to your device.
Do not attempt to build this kernel if you are going to complain to devs about issues.
That being said, mapkel has made this so that even those with little knowledge can build the kernel without any issues. If you do have any issues, post here and I will try to assist you.
The following is a complete tutorial to building the kernel.
Credits:
Kernel Devs: krystianp, lehjr, Epinter, and mmontuori for making this kernel; without them there is no kernel.
Big thanks to mapkel for this amazing script.
Another big thanks to benouch for the original idea.
A final big thanks to zen25205 for help with building the kernel and getting the Linaro Toolchain.
Kernel Kitchen
I suggest building this with the latest CM9 MROM until the public beta is released.
You need to install Ubuntu 12.04 64bit (Google for instructions)
Prerequisites:
Open a terminal and run the following commands the first time:
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2
Code:
sudo apt-get install git
If there are any issues with this guide, or if you have any issues building the kernel, post here and I will assist you as best I can.
Stage 1 (start at stage 2 if you have already built the kernel using this script:
Code:
cd ~
Code:
wget https://www.cubby.com/pl/kernel_script.zip/_25f010125b924ec7a42fe1d66245f36a
Code:
unzip ${HOME}/kernel_script.zip -d ${HOME}
Stage 2:
Code:
cd kernel
Code:
./script
There will be 4 choices to make throughout the script:
Clean install y/n (choose "n" on first run of script)
What defconfig? (Usually it is MROM but in the last update it is temporarily MROM2)
Compile CM9 or CM10 kernel? (self explanatory)
Name of config (Any name works. I chose "olympus".)
enjoy)

No Wifi
Cheers, the script works great on Ubuntu 11.10, without a hic.
However, upon flashing the kernel, I get no wifi. I'm going to try your step by step tutorial...
Edit: I built the kernel using MROM2 defconfig and for CM10, and flashed "someone's" CM10

You won't be able to do both.
If you compiled the kernel for CM10 you will only be able to use it on CM10.
Unless you are able to update Ubuntu as you compile the kernel for CM9.

It's impossible to compile while updating, didn't remember that, silly me :silly:
Anyhoot, wifi still doesn't work in Ubuntu 12.04. Fresh install on a different PC, way faster than updating
I'll try CM9 tomorrow, should've been asleep for a while
Can anyone or everyone list sites that work with a direct link.
That means I go to www.sitename/filename.zip and it starts downloading.
All I can think of right now is a cloud storage like Dropbox or Google Drive. I know Dropbox has a traffic limit for public files. Don't know about Google drive

upndwn4par has unlimited bandwidth, iirc. Maybe you can contact him and ask if you can host that one tiny script file there?
Or you could sign up with a free webhost and upload it there. There are several free webhosts with unlimited bandwidth (with a very limited space as trade-off, but I think it's more than enough for the script file).
If it's just a single script, maybe something like pastebin.com or similar might be an option? A little inconvenient since you have to copy and paste content instead of just download, but AFAIK it does have unlimited bandwidth.

Maybe copy.com? Here is my ref for extra 5 GB: https://copy.com?r=qfhUoV
If this does not solve the problem, I can provide space for the script on my own server with a separate FTP account.

Not quite. You can still download a file, for example using wget.
If You have a short public link, for instance: copy.com/PJzYgAUKECQm, You need to open it and copy the full link. In this case: copy.com/s/PJzYgAUKECQm/BetterBatteryStats_xdaedition_1.13.4.0.apk
then:
wget copy.com/s/PJzYgAUKECQm/BetterBatteryStats_xdaedition_1.13.4.0.apk
and done.
I will look at all the suggestions later today.
Thank you.

Thanks @tcf38012 for the tutorial..i just edit the lines needed for u8800pro to make it easier for you...this is the one from the 5th tutorials i used....
Q&A
------------------
Changelog
1)Added the ril file to make the rom have signal and working phone
2)Add the fix you have to do to a file so the compiler can understand that you wanna compile cyanogen and not shendu!
Also im now compiling latest cm for u+ i will post it for testing when its done!!
Also for the love of god...pls don't start asking how to install ubuntu..and what is this and what is that...if you don't know anything about linux or basic PC thinks wait someone else to do it for you!!!

OK I started this again. Hopefully this time it will work. Will post screenshots tomorrow.
Building AOSP for the Nexus 6 - Continued!
Scott is no longer working with the N6 and he has graciously allowed me to continue his thread . We all owe @scrosler a special THANKS for his work on the original thread. Better yet please go buy him a beer!! I also want to personally thank all who contributed to the original thread. You all make it work!!
Preface
1. I want to start by saying that I am still a relative newb. I built my first aosp rom for my N9 using the the guide from the original thread and followed up with one for my N6. I hope that by moving this thread forward we can continue to help others get started while we continue our own learning.
2. All questions concerning the build process and setup are welcome. They may not all get answered but please ask.
This guide continuation assumes the following:
1. You have read the original thread's OP and scanned the remainder of that thread before posting here.
2. To get things started you can test a rom built from android-5.1.1_r14. Get rom below. Vendor blobs updated from here and include the updated LYZ28E blobs. I also added some missing build props.
3. I am also linking the github source for the rom. You can build your own. Get github source below.
4. I hope to add a short get started github tut in OP#2 and add a vendor folder setup discussion in OP#3. I'm still trying to figure out how @sykopompos did his. All help on this subject is welcome.
FYI TO ALL!!! All my testing is on USA Verizon netwok.
LINK TO ORIGINAL THREAD OP
Get ROM HERE
Get GIT SOURCE HERE
==========================================================================================================
The following copied from original OP with some minor editing.
This guide assumes the following
Have Ubuntu 14.04 or equivalent setup, fully operation, and up to date. Hard Machine or Virtual, makes no difference. Must meet the minimum specs for compiling. Info from Google HERE
Understand terminal command line entry as this is all command line processes.
Lets Begin!
Add Java
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Add Build tools (Adds the required packages at the time of this posting)
Code:
sudo apt-get install git 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 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Add Repo command (Syncs Google Repository with your local machine)
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Add bin folder to path for repo command (After you do this close Terminal and re-open to institute changes (easy way))
Code:
sudo gedit .bashrc
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH <-(add to end of bashrc)
Identify Yourself to the Repo (One day you may make commits so think about that when choosing your info!)
Code:
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "yourpreferredusername"
Sync Repo (Download source... Sit back and grab a pop and a sandwich...)
Code:
mkdir ~/AOSP
cd ~/AOSP
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-5.1.1_r14
repo sync
Note: I use AOSP as my directory name. You can use what you want. You could use "aosp" or "Source" or "android" or "whateveryoulike"
Set up ccache (this makes subsequent compiling much faster!)
First: Close then re-open the terminal so you are in the home root
Code:
sudo gedit .bashrc
export USE_CCACHE=1 <-Append that line to .bashrc then save and close
cd AOSP
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 25G <-I use 25 gigs but you can change that value to any size you feel appropriate)
fhem Alternate ccache setup.
Install ccache using package manager (I use synaptic)
set ccache size - One ccache for all directories.
Code:
ccache -M 35G (I use 35 gigs but you can change that value to any size you feel appropriate)
I do not edit my .bashrc I use the following before my final make command. See Readme Build It
You can choose to use or not use ccache for any build/operation from any directory.
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
ccache manual
Install proprietary binaries (Needed for things like GPS and Bluetooth, they are not Open Source like Android) (Install proprietary binaries from here in the root of AOSP folder (or whatever you called yours))
Code:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers
Run envsetup.sh
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
Choose Device
Code:
lunch aosp_shamu-userdebug
Build it!
Code:
make -j16 otapackage
Note: using -j16 means 16 worker threads. This is fine if you have 8 logical CPU's so you may need to adjust that to a smaller or larger number if you have more or less Logical CPU's. Example: I have an i7 K edition Haswell so I have 8 logical cores; so I build with -j16. If you have an i5 quad core CPU which is 4 logical cores then you may want to consider -j8 as the set number of worker threads. Oddly enough Google actually recommends 3 to 4 times the number of logical CPU's. When I do that I have nothing but build crashes. You may need to experiment to get the right blend of performance and stability during build!
If you use
Code:
make -j `getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` otapackage
it may take a little longer but it won't crash.
Find it
Should be located here: /home/yourusername/AOSP/out/target/product/shamu
Congrats!
Your know among the elite enthusiast that can build from source! Pat yourself on the back!
Git Hub Tips
There is already much written on git use so I am not going to try and reinvent that wheel!!!! I will provide some usefull links for your reading pleasure. I will also provide some tips based on my personal experiences using git. I have found there are many ways to get the same result using git and there are also many ways to break your your work. I did a lot of trial and error and deleting to learn what works best for me. Start small, don't be intimidated, and stay patient -- it will come. The following assumes we are using a linux distro.
1. Open a GitHub account ----- its easy. Keep it simple. Follow the setup instructions and use recommended HTTPS connection.. I also suggest caching your login info - I use 60 mins for my default cache time.
2. Install git. It is easiest to install Git on Linux using the preferred package manager of your Linux distribution. I use Synaptic Package Manager. Keep it simple. Follow the setup instructions and use recommended HTTPS connection.
3. Git Tools: I prefer using Geany with terminal and File and Tree Browser and VC control plug-ins. There are many tools available and you may need to find one that works for you. You can install Geany and its plug-ins using your distro package manager.
4. ROM Tree Structure Very Important. I recommend keeping your rom GitHub tree structure in line with the Android Git Repositories.

Building AOSP for the Nexus 6 - Continued!
Scott is no longer working with the N6 and he has graciously allowed me to continue his thread . We all owe @scrosler a special THANKS for his work on the original thread. Better yet please go buy him a beer!! I also want to personally thank all who contributed to the original thread. You all make it work!!
Preface
1. I want to start by saying that I am still a relative noob. I built my first aosp rom for my N9 using the the guide from the original thread and followed up with one for my N6. I hope that by moving this thread forward we can continue to help others get started while we continue our own learning.
2. All questions concerning the build process and setup are welcome. They may not all get answered but please ask.
This guide continuation assumes the following:
1. You have read the original thread's OP and scanned the remainder of that thread before posting here.
2. To get things started you can test a rom built from android-5.1.1_r4 using Sykopompos vendor blobs for 5.1. Get rom below.
3. I am also linking the github source for the rom. You can build your own. Get github source below.
4. I hope to add a short get started github tut in OP#2 and add a vendor folder setup discussion in OP#3. I'm still trying to figure out how Sykopompos did his. All help on this subject is welcome.
FYI TO ALL!!! All my testing is on USA Verizon netwok.

Still waiting for the full platform on aosp. Hey did you diff the stock rom and aosp rom to get your vendor blobs. I was setting up with BeyondCompare to give it a look. LOL Enjoy your time off and your family. Life is too short.

For the most part, you can diff and find file differences but aosp has it's own files and stuff like that so you gotta be able to figure out what they do

I was afraid you were going to tell me that. :laugh: Oh well It will give my old brain and google a workout. hahahaha Thanks and enjoy yourself.
Hey @fhem! Glad to see you take over, you're always very helpful!
In your Repo Int code above, did you mean "android-5.1.1_r4"? I wanted to double check that part for the guide.

Yep. That's the latest. That's what I built above if you look at the fhemaosp default manifest.

Hello @sykopompos, I am just glad to see you here! Thanks for all your contributions!
I let @fhem take over the thread since he is more active than I. But I appreciate all the help you have given and will continue to give!
Knowledge is TRULY priceless!

EDIT: Can someone put that on my tombstone, lol
Can we have guide about building ROM from open source? e.g LG open source. Actually I was trying to build a M1 review ROM with the LG open source but it fails. I tried several times and finally give op due to errors. I downloaded the android source and then follow this guide and then download LG G4 ROM from following.
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H815
I set up the environment and then started building but it fails again and again. I think it will be very helpful for every one who interested in building ROM from open source. Thanks

I have never worked with any LG source codes. I would suggest you start your own thread on the LG G4 Forum. It definately sounds like you got enough to get one rolling. Good luck with the G4.
Hello,
I am trying to build android 5.1.1_r6 for the Nexus 6 and was able to get it to build and install. Had a weird issue where gapps would not install, but I think I fixed that by flashing a different set of gapps. My issue is that I am unable to hear people through the handset speaker when I make phone calls. I have no idea what it is. Apparently they can hear me, but I cant hear them. I can use speaker phone, but even that seems lower volume than normal.
Also, side question, since I am building AOSP 5.1.1_r6 am I supposed to use the preview binaries found here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/blobs-preview
or just use the factory image binaries?
Thank you

I haven't been able to get _r6 to build due to errors in frameworks/opt ever since merging so good for you on that. As for the binaries It was found a while back that the Google one were incomplete. People were using The vendor files from chroma in their stead. I haven't spoken to fhem in a couple of days but it looks like his github is under construction atm. I forked the vendor repo from him since he had changes that fixed some no sound issues as well. Again I've yet to build _r6 successfully so no idea if these will solve your issue but you're welcome to try them out? You can get them from my github here: https://github.com/rockinroyle/platform_vendor_moto_shamu
Let us know how it goes? I'm trying again after I clone frameworks from scratch.

I had no luck with r6 either. I reverted back to r5. I looked at chroma/zephk on git and I don't think he took the whole r6 merge to his git repos - not sure what he did.
I'm sticking to to r5 for now.
I've been building r6 fine with zero issues. Did notice the speaker issue on call but fixed it with two commits from chroma in device/moto/shamu for audio. I've also been using the latest binaries posted by google on the aosp page, no issues that I can tell. WiFi calling/normal calling, sound all around, SMS/MMS, all works.
