dev activity

this is not to rush the devs, just asking, are they gonna wait till ( i really hope it actually hapens) jb update comes to us to start developing? couse i think our phone haves a lot more to give to us than the stock rom can, again i am not rushing the devs, just asking your oppinion, and since im kinda new to theese forums hardly think any dev is going to bother to even answer this thread
so im pretty much.asking your oppinion
this is just a question , please dont kill me

If you mean Custom Roms... we can't do anything until we can pack / unpack the boot.img/or recovery.img to make a custom recovery.

jeah thats right, i was wondering because my expirience with atrix 2 , previous to the ics update, i was using supercharger rom series, but again i understand that they got a leak to work on, and a bootstrap to flash the restores they where creating, and that stock leaked rom was awesome

Would be nice to know for sure. The current methods cannot find 'Android Magic'.

I'm looking forward to seeing this forum get some custom ROMs too...

Looks like progress is getting on with it now

Any updates on custom ROM making for this device?
I've followed the README from <link to Motorola's sourceforge for razr i, deleted because I'm a new user> , got to the final step, but now I'm stumped. What make target should I choose? 'make full_x86-eng' and 'make generic_x86' have no make rules. A simple 'make' generates a framework build error.
What do I have to do in order to get a bootable image (built from source) for the Razr i?
I'd appreciate any kind of advice. Thanks in advance.
PS: Many thanks Matt, turl1 and the other developers that worked on this device.

You won't be able to build a full android system from that source. The most you can do is
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch generic_x86-eng
$ make [I]target[/I]
Where target is something like out/target/product/generic/system/bin/bluetoothd or bluetoothd

I am working on a device tree. Writing it from scratch isn't easy because there is no device I can base this on. No other x86 tree out there. And I still dont have a device. I did make threads requesting for a device but they got closed down. So once I have something built I'll make a new thread.

There's at least 10 device trees on the android-x86 project. And AOSP itself has a generic one, to build the x86 emulator platform. And I made a basic one to build recovery already, with support to generate the newer x86 boot image format.

Generic x86 and the razr I are too far apart. Also the android x86 ones are too far apart too (I am working on a android x86 tablet). I have already written more than 450 lines of the device tree by hand, and there is a lot more to go right now. I have patched bionic for x86 builds, I need to patch the build folder next, and even busybox needs patching, etc. I am now working on making a perfect set of the 3 important files, BoardConfing.mk, device.mk and proprietary-files.txt. My android x86 tree is a total of 181 lines (which in itself is twice the size of the trees on android-x86). Its fun, but really time consuming. Also the AOSP ones are generic ones, they will work on any system if you have all the correct drivers installed or compiled via the kernel, but Razr I needs the files to be pulled from the stock build, and it needs a lot of them, including kernel drivers.

I'm playing a bit with AOSP 4.2 as I got some free time. This is what I found out so far:
bionic needed no patches. I seriously doubt it needs any on 4.1 (CM) either as recovery built fine.
build needed no patches either on both cases.
dalvik needed a 4-liner to build on AOSP (makefile fixes), I haven't tried to build it on CM
there's no busybox on AOSP, I patched the one on 4.1 already to be able to build recovery, it's all on CM Gerrit as you'd expect from a CM developer like myself
my tree is already 120 lines, as soon as you add the media decoder config and audio routing config you'll go over 180 lines
having proper drivers isn't enough, you need proper HALs too. And I haven't really looked, but I'd be surprised if you had to pull kernel drivers from the stock rom

1) bionic needs patching, patch already submitted to CM gerrit libdvm basically
2) build needs patching for the boot.img
3) dalvik has been patched
4) Odd, didn't notice that
5) Probably wont required pulling in kernel drivers, but would required pulling in the correct drivers for the defconfig

re. 2, I actually did need to patch build on AOSP after all . CM on the other hand, has BOARD_CUSTOM_BOOTIMG_MK from the tf tablets.

Hey I posted a rom over at droidrzr.com for use till aosp is ready. This should be enough till we get a jb leak

Hi Folks
While I don't own a RAZR I , I have been Jaffing around with building CM10.1 and AOSP for x86, I've been getting in going on my FX8120, just need to sort the OpenGLES MESA drivers out.
Anyways I've got CM10.1 built for x86 using the mr1-staging branch ( I think it's been merged to cm10.1 ) and an edited mini-x86 device tree .
Busybox was a B**stard to build though, although on one of the branches there is an .config-minimal-x86 .config-full-x86, still needed tweaking tho.
I submitted my patches http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27377/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27373/, however It seems x86 isn't top of cm's agenda.... or I'm missing something about assigning reviewers.
Obviously a base x86 build is only part of the story for you guys as you'll face all the regular problems that emedded devices have, not checked the specs for the RazR but I'm sure there's some binary blobs in your future,
Hack On Folks! :good:

[Script] Build ICS/JB Kernel

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:

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.

Porting ROMs

How does one port ROMs to another phone? I'm looking to try and port Xylon to the Find 5.
Sent from my X909 using xda app-developers app

it's really not that difficult. just have to adjust some overlays, change some stuff in vendor and maybe grab the camera from CM if the changes haven't been made to that ROM.

if you are building from source:
Find the 4.2.2 source code of the ROM you want to port
Get the manifest.
Add the CM10.1 device/kernel tree and proprietary libs in the .repo/local_manifest/roomservice.xml
sync all the repos
(do whatever the source might need you to set up: EG paranoid android, need you to setup your device properly in vendor/pa/* files)
compile. Fix any problems(maybe missing files, etc)
you could try a non-4.2.2-based ROM to port, but you'll run into more incompatibility issues to fix

Sent from my X909 using xda app-developers app

assuming this is the one you want to port (it is using 4.2.2, so hopefully it'll be easier)
read their README: https://github.com/XYAOSP/buildscripts
use repo and checkout this manifest
https://github.com/XYAOSP/platform_manifest/blob/jb4.2/default.xml
use repo and sync all the repos
then see how I get the device specific files here? do the same https://git.ngvincent.com/projects/oppo-x909-cm10/wiki/Build#Get-device-specific-sources-and-build
then follow whatever instructions needed to build. if it uses CM based building (which i think they do here, then do
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch
select the find5 entry (if it;s not there, then do lunch, select find5, mka)
wait for it to fail. read error message. fix error message. repeat last 3 steps .. Google is your friend... learn to love google
---------------------------------------
you should try building CM10.1 first. there will hopefully be no errors, and you learn how to use brunch/lunch/breakfast / etc

use google and your own intuition to help you (this is why you should build the Cm10.1 ROM first.... the knowledge you gain will help you)
most likely either github is down, or the path referencing it is invalid, or something......
but the question is, do we need htc-msm8960? most likely no, since the oppo kernel is self contained
^^^ all this comes from experience.... seriously, go build cm10.1 for the find 5 first

we probably dont need it, but a lot of ROMs make you download ALL their devices and corresponding files.

yeah... it's a problem with a simple fix.... if the error was something like "packages_mms_app", then it's a more serious problem.....
does removing that repo mask a larger problem? that's why I'm pushing for OP to start small first by building CM10.1, and learn the environment (instead of posting every single problem he encounters here, and asks for help)
I've only started playing with android source code in March/early april... and these are things that I've learned/picked up since then.

a few tips
typically, compilers only stop when there's an error, not warnings (unless you set flags like -Werror )
compiling is parallelized.... let's say you have a quad core, you can compile 4 projects simultaneously... when you have an error on the first make file, it stops.... but the other 3 projects will continue compiling and outputting logs until they're done (then the scheduler sees the first make file has an error, doesn't execute any more make builds and halts), so the last log file/line might not be showing you the error
For CM10.1, find5 is official now... you can just use brunch instead of breakfast/lunch & mka

In essence, I scour the log for errors?
I just presumed as CM10 already existed on the Oppo Find 5, it would be an error-free compile.

you could source the log for errors
or just run the compile script again and again.... the scheduler will continue building other packages, but it'll come to a point where it can't build anything else without that broken package.... and hence, the error in the log will be obvious(since everything else is already built, no logs from them)
it should be an error-free compile, but sometimes things could happen (a small tweak in package/A gives some problems when compiling with package/B)
I would say, most likely there's some build package incompatibility in your system.

Do you have vendorsetup.sh in your /device/samsung/l900/ folder? If not, create it and put this in it:
Code:
add_lunch_combo omni_i605-userdebug
Do you have full_i605.mk in your device tree? Also, omni_i605.mk and i605.mk?

I had to put the i605 make file in the l900 folder. Doesnt make sense. After all that I got it to compile but no boot.

Also if l900 is important to build i605 then why doesnt it pull it when I brunch and pulls everything else?

Because nobody did a device bringup yet, so the compiler doesn't know that it needs some common stuff as well.
After examining the Omni repo: how can it pull i900 when the device tree does not exist in the Omni tree yet?

Im looking at omniroms github. Android device samsung l900 is there and does have a kit kat tag. Its l900 not i900
l900 is Sprints note 2. i605 is Verizons Note 2. If having to put the i605 make file in the l900 folder is whats causing it not to boot, that means its compiling for l900 even though I want it to compile for i605. Something may be borked in build. No reason for i605 to depend on l900. Somethings just not right

Oh...sorry, I thought it was i900.
Anyway, you've got to create your l605 device tree and put all the l900-common references (if they exist) in it: take a look at n7100 or n7000 tree at Omni Github and you'll see what I'm talking about. There's no way for compiler to know what to do unless you tell it.

My i605 folder looks identical to the way n7100 is setup. Its weird, It screams to have full_i605.mk put in the l900 device folder. It shoudlnt be doing this. Somethings borked.
All this over a typo. I found it. Compiling now without a l900 folder

In omni_i605.mk
Change
# Inherit device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/samsung/l900/full_i605.mk)
change it to
# Inherit device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/samsung/i605/full_i605.mk)

@apophis9283 I saw your post about No cell/data on the i605 nightly.. was that your build? SlimROM seems to have a working AOSP 4.4.2. Is there any chance that something from their project might help get OmniROM up and running on i605?
I would be willing to work on this, but have no experience or idea where to start.
Thanks.

Data works on cm and aokp so far. I just havent looked any further into it yet. I got data on aokp by using cms device tree so i never isolated the actual problem. Omni requires an omni make file in the devices tree. So just need to pull in cms trees and make adjustments so omni will compile it

..does that mean pulling from the other projects won't work, or just won't work without ALOT of work? I don't know what the roomservice file is.. :?

I wanted to use a local manifest. Well when I tried to compile of course there were going to be errors but omnis response is to create the roomservice file. So its hard to tell what i may need to change around. The way aokp handles it is a million times better

[Guide] [09/14/2015] Building AOSP 5.1.1_r14 for the Nexus 6-Continued!

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.

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

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.
