Connecting MTP and your Ubuntu pc

Since MTP is replacing UMS in newer version of android I thought I'd share what I did to get it working on my ubuntu partition since it took me a little bit to figure out why it wasn't connecting.
[1]First check your 51-android.rules
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[2]And make sure this is in there
Code:
#Sony Ericsson
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
[3]Then install these tools:
Code:
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs
[4]Then create a point to mount it
Code:
sudo mkdir /media/Sony
sudo chmod a+rwx /media/Sony
if you change /Sony or another part of the directory just be sure you keep it the same throughout the steps, uppercase and lowercase don't matter unless you screw it up and don't keep the name the same.
[5]Now you yourself to the fuse user group
Code:
sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME fuse
[6]And open up fuse.conf
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/fuse.conf
and remove
[7]The # in front of #user_allow_other so it looks like this:
Code:
user_allow_other
Here's the part that I was annoyed with, cause the original page has it written incorrectly, and for the longest time I couldn't figure that out
[8]Open up your .bashrc
Code:
gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc
And add these exact lines to it:
Code:
alias android-connect="mtpfs -o allow_other /media/Sony"
alias android-disconnect="fusermount -u /media/Sony"
if you've changed your mount point make sure that "/media/Sony" is what you changed it to
DONE!
Now when you plug in your xplay simply type
Code:
android-connect
and it will show the sdcard contents at /media/Sony.
When you done simply type
Code:
android-disconnect[code] to un-mount it.

So thank them, I'm just coping their info.

[Guide][7/7/13]Learn Linux Terminal/Setup A Build Environment/HTC Kernel Building

To start I will be adding a lot to this over time so dont be upset if I dont have everything.
To open a terminal without finding it in your programs all you need to do is ctrl+alt+t
Heavily used Commands
cd: this command is used to navigate through your directory's. For example if you have a folder named apps on desktop you would type... cd Desktop...then cd apps.
mkdir: this means make directory or folder. For example cd to your directory then do mkdir whatever. Then you can cd right into that directory ever.
pwd: print working directory. This shows you where you are on the filesystem. This helps if your deep in a directory or folders.
ls: this means list. This tells you all the files in your present working directory.
man: this means manual. This prints like a help page in the terminal to guide you on whatever you need. This can be used for many things.
cp: means copy a file or directory
rm and rmdir: remove a file or like rmdir remove a directory.
mv: move a file or directory
The next command is to issue a command. There are a couple of popular ways of doing so.
First
"./": this is to issue or run a command or file that is in your current directory.
Second
"../": this runs the file that is directly above your current directory.
cat: prints a list of provided text files to the screen.
grep or global regular expression print: searches for patterns or a pattern in a list of files. This is great for small editing if thats what your into and so is.....
diff: compares two text files and displays the differences found between the files on the screen.
history: this is very useful. This shows you a list of your recent commands if you forgot the exact command. To select a command on the list use "!". For example if the label for the command is 00 then type "!00". However most linus OS's allow you to use the up arrow and enter key instead.
Also if you guys dont want a full help list using the "man" command you can use this command: --help
Popular Terminal Commands for Android:
adb: also called android debug bridge is used to issue commands to your phone and debug.
Most people use the following:
adb devices: shows what devices are connected to the computer
adb push and pull: can transfer file from computer to phone and vice versa.
if you want to push an apk to your system make sure that apk is in your adb folder and type: "adb push target.apk system/apps"
adb reboot
adb reboot bootloader
adb logcat: if you are either porting, making roms, or just debugging for a dev you need to know how to logcat. Also if you want to just take the log and make it into a txt file to share just issue the following; "adb logcat -d> logcat.txt"
The logcat will go to your adb folder and save as logcat.txt.
fastboot: is a tool used to update the flash filesystem
I use fastboot for a few things including flashing splashes and flashing recoveries. For example:
Take twrp. To flash to htc one you do...
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" presuming you are in your fastboot directory in terminal and the recovery.img is in that folder.
Now as you may know htc uses fastboot to unlock and lock the bootloader using the following commands:
"fastboot oem unlock"
"fastboot oem lock"
Of course you should know this by now you need to be in bootloader under fastboot usb mode.
Now to be able to use fastboot and adb u need sdk and java. Lets start.
"sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk icedtea6-plugin"
This will get u java jdk. Sudo means root and apt-get install means terminal is pulling the file from servers and then installing it.
Next you want sdk. So instead of going all around and downloading it just do this.
" wget http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz"
Wget means you are "getting the package".And then you want to extract the file.
"tar -xvzf android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz"
Seeing how the file is a tar "tar -xvzf" extracts that tar. Then cd to the sdk folder and you are good to go.
Speaking of compressing and uncompressing files......
tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz
Untar a tarred and compressed tarball (*.tar.gz or *.tgz).
tar -xvf filename.tar
Untar a tarred but uncompressed tarball (*.tar).
gunzip filename.gz
Decompress a zipped file (*.gz" or *.z).
bunzip2 filename.bz2
Decompress a file (*.bz2) zipped with bzip2 compression.
unzip filename.zip
Decompress a file (*.zip).
Next. Processes.
You know hiw windows has task manager with ctrl+alt+delete. Well here is that for terminal.
ps
(=print status) Display the list of currently running processes with their process IDs (PID) numbers.
kill PID
Force a process shutdown. First determine the PID. Use the command "ps".
bg PID
Send the process to the background.The same can be accomplished with z.
any_command&
Run any command in the background the symbol "&" means run the proceeding command in the background.
killall program_name
Kill program or multiple programs by name. This is useful
lpq
Shows your printing queue.
lprm job_number
Remove a printing job "job_number" from the queue. Alot like windows printing task manager.
lpc
Check and control the printer(s). Type "?" to see the list of available commands.
renice -1 PID
(as root) Change the priority of a running process to -1. Make sure you are Root.
*
Ill add more later. My fingers are tired.

Here are some useful admin commands
printtool
Configuration tool for your printer(s).
linuxconfig
(as root, either in text or graphical mode). You can access and change hundreds of setting from it. Be careful.
adduser user_name
Create a new account (you must be root).
userdel user_name
Remove an account (you must be a root).
passwd
Change the password on your current account. If you are root, you can change the password for any user using: "passwd user_name"
chmod perm filename
Change the file access permission for the files you own. You can make a file accessible in three modes: read (r), write (w), or execute (x) to three classes of users: owner (u), group (g), or others (o).
ls -l filename
Checks the files current permissions.
If the file is accessible to all users in all modes it will show:
rwxrwxrwx
The first triplet shows the file permission for the owner of the file, the second for that group, the third for others. A no permission is shown as "-".
su
You will be asked for your password. Type "exit" to return you to your previous login. Don't work on your machine as root. Use it only when you need it.
fdisk
(as root) Linux hard drive partitioning utility. The program gparted I think is better. To install gparted just like many other programs us the command "sudo apt-get install gparted".
fsck -t ext2 /dev/hda2
Check and repair a filesystem.

Instructions For Setting up a Build Environment for Linux
Make sure you are 64-bit
Have a big hard drive
A good amount of ram
If you dont have java already. Get it.
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
You will also need python
Code:
sudo apt-get install python
And git
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
Android SDK:
I showed you guys how to get it in the first post.
Now open your home folder and press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up a file called .bashrc.
Add these lines to the bottom of .bashrc:
Code:
# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/SDK/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/SDK/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Now you should also find .profile file in the same place you found .bashrc file. Add this to that file:
Code:
PATH="$HOME/SDK/tools:$HOME/SDK/platform-tools:$PATH"
After that you need to install these packages:
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
On Ubuntu 12.04:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-glx \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev
Also this:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Now Configure your USB.
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
A blank text will open and now add this code and save:
Code:
#Acer
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0502", MODE="0666"

#Toshiba
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0930", MODE="0666"
#ZTE
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="19D2", MODE="0666"
Once you have saved the file type this:
Code:
sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Now install your repository:
Type the following:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl [url]https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo[/url] > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Now all you have to do is initialize your repository and then make a working folder and sync:
mkdir WORKING_FOLDER
cd WORKING_FOLDER
So lets just say you want to sync and build cm10.1 you need the repo so once you cd into the directory type this:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
While that runs in the terminal it is going to ask you to put in your name and email address.
Once all thats done just type:
Code:
repo sync
And your good to go. Thats where I stop for now. Any questions just ask.

How to build a sense kernel from source
Judging that you are reading this and going to try and build a kernel make sure you have looked at the previous posts above as they may be needed to complete this task.
Below is the readme from htc dev's website. But why do all this work. Lets use Linux and bash scripts to our advantage.
Code:
defconfig file: m7wls_defconfig (arm-eabi-4.6)
Download:
=========
If you are not already using an AOSP toolchain (included in an AOSP build tree), download the corresponding official android toolchain for the arm-eabi specified above for this device:
git clone [url]https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt[/url] for 4.4.3
git clone [url]https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6[/url] for 4.6
(use darwin-x86 in place of linux-x86 for mac)
Build the kernel:
=================
set the following environment variables:
export TOP= [where you installed the toolchain or top of android AOSP code base]
export PATH=$TOP/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin:$PATH (use corresponding arm-eabi bin path)
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
make [the defconfig file for this device above]
make clean (for subsequent builds)
make -j4 (in this example 4 is the number of processors of your build machine)
Output Binary Files:
====================
After the build process is finished, there should be a file named "zImage" found in arch/arm/boot/
If you are building a rom with this kernel ZImage, copy it into your build's output folder and rename it to "kernel".
You will also need the following kernel modules. These will eventually be installed into /system/lib/modules on the device.
kernel modules:
./driver/*.ko
The only thing I will ask you to get are the following.
-Download the source from htcdev.
-Get your toolchain and put it in your desired folder. Do that with this command.
**On a sidenote you need to know your devices defconfig and what toolchain your device uses. (This is given on the top of the readme as per the one above.)**
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6"
-for me I put the toolchain in my directory like this. It is different for each toolchain and device. It doesn't matter. /android/kernel/**toolchain**. That's where the extracted toolchain is.
-Next step open a file and add the following text. Make sure the file is executable so you can run it. Add this....
echo "~m7wls STOCK KERNEL COMPILER~"
cd Kernel-m7wls
export ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/android/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-4.6-
echo "Cleaning up source"
make clean && make mrproper
date +%Y%m%d%H%M > CURRENT_VERSION
echo "Making config"
make m7wls_defconfig
echo "Adding Current Version to Kernel"
cp CURRENT_VERSION .version
echo "Building Kernel"
make -j4
echo "Kernel ready"
cp -f arch/arm/boot/zImage /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/zImage
echo "Copying modules"
rm -f /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/*
find . -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/ \;
cd /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/
for i in $(find . | grep .ko | grep './')
do
echo $i
/android/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-4.6-strip --strip-unneeded $i
done
echo "Stripped Modules"
echo "All done,Press Enter to Quit"
read ANS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-This is a quick script that does all the work for me. No need to add paths, etc. As long as your folders and filed match the paths of the script all will be ok. Now this script will have to be edited to suite your computer and the destinations of your kernel folders.
-Now once the script is fully correct and everything is setup just cd to the directory your script is in and type the following assuming your file name is m7wls type:
Code:
./m7wls
Once the script has fully run. It should take a while in the folders I made you should see zImage and kernel modules. From there you will need to know how to pack the kernel.
Notice if you downloaded sprints htc one kernel source the source is named m7wls-jb-crc-3.4.10-eb45596. I changed this to just m7wls to make it easier for the script.
Finally, remember you will have to make directories to suit the script for example this line "rm -f /android/kernel/htcone/STOCK-m7wls/boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/*" this is where the modules go "*" but I had to make these folders first boot.img-ramdisk/lib/modules/.
If you followed my instructions and did your own fooling around you should have a sense kernel built from source. This is not for beginners. If you have any questions just ask. Message me if you really need some more help.
Happy Building!

Reserved just in case.

Im gonna feel tempted for one more if i really want to add to more.

Is anyone finding this guide useful??

[Guide How-To] ProJect Developer ROM Building steps, tricks and tips for SX2011

Project Developer IV
Welcome
This is a guide for all those who want to build for their Xperia 2011 Devices but do not neccesasarily have the knowledge or experience.
This is an unofficial guide for the building of custom ROMs and other mods for the Xperia 2011 Devices. This is a work in progress, with additions being made as often as possible. This thread has already grown with the help of the devs established in this forum. BMP777 began this project a year ago when I was using a Samsung GS II Skyrocket. BMP777 started another alike thread called PR II in the LGOG forum a while back as well. I have since moved on to a ONE, but both threads remain to this day. The point is this: everyone who uses this site has a desire for modding, customizing, and/or otherwise altering their device. Unfortunately, many have no idea how to go about doing these things for themselves. As such, there is a lot of dissatisfaction among developers about receiving constant demands, suggestions, and requests for updates. This thread is meant to give those who want to step up and build for themselves the means to do so. It is an ever-changing thread, with all assistance welcomed.
READ ME:
On one hand, it should go without saying that if you have no knowledge and/or experience with building, java, C++, and various other tools, you probably shouldn't begin here. At the same time, it is possible to learn to build, provided you can read, follow directions, and aren't too lazy to RESEARCH.
OH YEAH, and you better have patience. This isn't easy. It will be work. The quickest way to get flamed is to show yourself to be lazy. If you think that with a couple clicks, you can have your own flashy ROM, forget it. But, if you do want to learn, this is a good place to get started. I have no ego about this; I started the same way and just want to help everyone learn to build their own ROM. But, everyone will struggle to get to a successful point, and lazy, unmotivated people just irritate those who have had to learn from scratch too. Tutorials will be posted for any new thing learned and built as time and space allow. ALL ARE WELCOME AND ALL QUESTIONS ARE TOO. But, seriously, if it's a really ridiculous one, I/we reserve the right to screw with you about it.

Build Enviorment Set up :
This is a combination of the steps offered in the threads 'Compile JB on Ubuntu' and TeamChopsticks CyanogenMod.
Special thanks to dastin1015 and TeamChopsticks.
Tip: Allocate at least 75 gigs of space for the building of ONE ROM. If you install ccache, you will want 90. A complete build directory can use as much as 100 gigs, so make sure you have plenty of room. One of the ways to fail out a build is too use all of your partition before acquiring all the necessary files.
Here are the steps from those 2 tutorials in correct order:
0.1 ))
Install Gedit
Code:
# gedit
sudo apt-get install gedit
1) You need the following:
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Jellybean.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]$ sudo apt-get oracle-java7-installer
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.[/COLOR]
Or:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install python
-Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.[/COLOR]
Or:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install git-core[/COLOR]
-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 – this tutorial assumes you've done that as well.
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:
[COLOR="black"]# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin[/COLOR]
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
You have now successfully installed the Android SDK.[/COLOR]
To check for updates issue this into your terminal:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ android[/COLOR]
2) Install required packages. 64-bit (recommended)
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ 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 lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils lzop schedtool[/COLOR]
On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ 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[/COLOR]
3) Configure your USB.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules[/COLOR]
Inside of this blank text file insert:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]#Acer

Unofficial
thanks mikeioannia for initial CM guide
To get started with Android/CyanogenMod, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:
first create folder named " cm "
Code:
mkdir cm
enter into cm
Code:
cd ~/cm
For CM - 11.0 kitkat 4.4.x
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]

Kernel Building and Ccache
Building your first kernel
(this is non-device-specific; tweaks will be required to produce an M7SPR kernel) :
This is a set of steps to get you building your first kernel. Special thanks to thewadegeek for putting this tutorial together. His thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748297
Step 1. Build Environment
A. Install Ubuntu 12.04(Not holding your hand here, if you can't do this you shouldn't be messing with kernels)
B. Required packages: git-core, gnupg, flex, bison, gperf, libsdl-dev, libesd0-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev, build-essential, zip, curl, libncurses5-dev, zlib1g-dev, ia32-libs, lib32z1-dev, lib32ncurses5-dev, gcc-multilib, g++-multilib, and Adb.
C. Open a terminal
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir android[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd android[/COLOR]
G.Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir kernel[/COLOR]
Step 2. Your Source
A. Open your Terminal Prompt
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd android/kernel[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]git clone git://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git toolchains[/COLOR]
D. Now comes the tricky part, you need to have some-type of source for your kernel. Check the following two sites for your device as appropriate. Once you have it download it is extracted/cloned into a folder in your kernel directory.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wpor...ads/opensource
Step 3. Modifications
This is the part people are curious about, they want to make modifications to the kernel to make it "special". Start all these from the root directory of your kernel source.
Mod 1. Applying a patch
A. Download the patch you wish to apply, in this case this one should work.
B. Save that file as "kernelPatch" in your kernel directory.
C. Open a Terminal
D. Move into the root directory of the kernel you wish to patch.
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]patch -p1 < ../kernelPatch[/COLOR]
Mod 2. Adding a Governor Alone
A. Open "drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig"
B. Add the following lines in appropriate spot amongst the other govenor's
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SMARTASS
bool "smartass"
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE
help
Use the CPUFreq governor 'smartass' as default.
[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]config CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS
tristate "'smartass' cpufreq governor"
depends on CPU_FREQ
help
smartass' - a "smart" optimized governor!
If in doubt, say N.[/COLOR]
C. Open "drivers/cpufreq/Makefile"
D. Add the following line in the appropriate spot.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"] obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS) += cpufreq_smartass.o[/COLOR]
E. Create a file called "drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_smartass.c"
F. Put the following code in that file.
http://pastebin.com/f0Bk9kVZ
G. open "include/linux/cpufreq.h"
H. Under the "Cpufreq Default" section add
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]#elif defined(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SMARTASS)
extern struct cpufreq_governor cpufreq_gov_smartass;
#define CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR (&cpufreq_gov_smartass)[/COLOR]
Ok there is a governor added, do the exact same steps for any other one's you would like to add.
Step 4. Getting a Config file
Option A. Pulling a config file from a kernel.
A. Hook up a device that is using a kernel similar to one you are using as your base.
B. Open a terminal
C. Change to your root kernel directory
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]adb pull /proc/config.gz[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gunzip config.gz[/COLOR]
F. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mv config arch/arm/configs/<your_config_name>_defconfig[/COLOR]
Option B. Using the manufacturers config.
Unfortunately as stated above, not all kernels support the "/proc/config.gz" method. You can typically find a manufacturer's configuration file in "arch/arm/configs". I believe the one for my HTC Flyer was called "flyer_hc_defconfig", so look for a layout similar to that one. Also read the README to get a better idea of how to modify it. I would personally make a copy of it called "<your_config_name>_defconfig" and use that as my base.
Step 5. Building
Time to start the real "build" section of this tutorial.
Part A. Pre-build Steps
A. Open terminal and change to the root of your kernel directory
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]export ARCH=arm[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/kernel/toolchains/arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2/bin/arm-eabi-[/COLOR]
Part B. The First Build
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make <your_config_name>_defconfig[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make menuconfig[/COLOR]
and make the required changes to use any modules you added or similar changes.
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make -j<maximum number of jobs>[/COLOR]
Part C. Re-Builds
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make clean[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make oldconfig[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make -j<maximum number of jobs>[/COLOR]
Part D. Building Modules
You have two options:
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make modules[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make path/to/your/module.ko[/COLOR]
The above steps explained:
Part A.(These steps are required every time you close your terminal and re-open it to build again.)
A. Ok shouldn’t need to explain this.
B. This command sets your target architecture.
C. Defines the path to the toolchain we are going to use to compile our kernel. You can change this to point towards whatever toolchain you have downloaded or feel like using, the way it is currently configured it will use the Linaro toolchain that we downloaded above.
Part B.(These only need to be run the first time you build a kernel.)
A. Load's your configuration file from earlier.
B. Open up a menu to configure your kernel. It will use the config file you loaded in the previous step as a base.
C. Viola start the build. I typically allow 1 job per core, so on my quad core machine I put "make -j4". Just raising that number will not make your build faster, your processor needs to be able to support the number of jobs you are assigning it.
Part C. (Use the command's when you are building any-time outside of the first)
A. This command gets rid of any old/outdated binaries or modules you compiled before, and let's start fresh. I like to run it every I build unless my changes are really small and localized.
B. A very awesome command, it parses through what has changed and only prompts you about new options.
C. See the explanation for the above "Part C.".
Part D.(Use these for just building kernel modules.)
A. This will re-build all modules.
B. Will rebuild just the module you need. Very useful when you need to rebuild a WiFi module.
Step 6. Now what
Ok we have now started our build and we are waiting for it to finish, so there are two possible outcomes:
Outcome A. Build Succeeds
W00t!! You have a kernel built by your self from source. There are a couple things you need in-order to use this kernel on your device any ".ko" modules and the zImage binary. If you pay attention to the output of your compiler then you will see the location of those objects. However the following commands will make your life a bit easier(Thanks Recognized Developer Hacre):
A. Open a terminal
B. Change to your root kernel directory
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir ../<your_kernel>_output[/COLOR]
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cp arch/arm/boot/zImage ../<your_kernel>_output/zImage[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]find . -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} ../<your_kernel>_output \;[/COLOR]
The above steps explained:
A-C. Self-Explanatory
D. Move our kernel binary into our output folder
E. This handy bit of magic finds all ".ko" modules and also copies them into your output file.
You will also need to assemble a kernel image containing a initramfs for your device, along with the kernel binary and such. That however is beyond the scope of this tutorial. To get started though try searching the following phrases.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]building android kernel image
xda build kernel image
xda unpack boot.img[/COLOR]
Outcome B. Build Fails
Oh dear. It failed. Well guess what...this is going to happen..a LOT. Get used to it, and get used to googling and experimenting with different solutions. The following are some tips that will help you with debugging your issues.
Running a "Clean" build
A. Backup your config file - Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cp .config ../backupConfig[/COLOR]
B. Re-run the build process using just your defconfig from earlier.
Limiting Output(Thanks Hacre.)
A. Another good tip is to run "make -j1" to get the error, as it will limit the amount of text you need to scroll through.[/COLOR]

Tutorial for CM-11.0 custom kernel coming Soon
CCACHE​
Here is a brief tutorial on the installation of Ccache, which can shorten build times drastically :
If you have room on your build system you can speed
your builds up considerably by using ccache. ccache is a compiler
cache. It speeds up re-compilation of C/C++ code by caching
previous compiles and detecting when the same compile is
being done again.
Install it with apt-get:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]sudo apt-get install ccache[/COLOR]
Set environment vars for Android use:
(I put these exports in my .bashrc)
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]export USE_CCACHE=1
export NDK_CCACHE=ccache[/COLOR]
Set a cache size of 10G for optimal results:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]ccache -M 10G[/COLOR]
Check the status of your cache with the command:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]ccache -s [/COLOR]
Returns:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]
cache directory /home/jocala/.ccache
cache hit 106673
cache miss 18379
called for link 3758
preprocessor error 5

Building with Linaro 4.8 toolchain
Go into Terminal and navigate to the root folder of your source tree, then:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/[/COLOR]
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]wget http://releases.linaro.org/13.06/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/4.8/gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.06.tar.bz2[/COLOR]
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]bunzip2 *.tar.bz2[/COLOR]
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]tar -xvf *.tar[/COLOR]
Using your file manager, navigate to the root folder of your source tree again.
Navigate To "/build", in your root folder.
Run:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gksudo gedit envsetup.sh[/COLOR]
change the line in bold, to look exactly like this one:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]case $ARCH in
x86) toolchaindir=x86/i686-linux-android-4.6/bin
;;
[B]arm) toolchaindir=arm/gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.06[/B] [COLOR="Red"]<--------[/COLOR]
;;
mips) toolchaindir=mips/mipsel-linux-android-4.6/bin
;;
*)
echo "Can't find toolchain for unknown architecture: $ARCH"
toolchaindir=xxxxxxxxx
;;
esac
[/COLOR]
Exit out and open new. Initialize and build. That's it! Makes you wonder why you never did it before, right?
Not so fast. You may have build issues, you may not. I had a few lengthy sets of errors in gsm calltracker and another .java file that was solved by using Meld and making it look exactly like a successful build's file. More as I learn.......
Thanks to infected_ for this tut; his post can be found here: [/COLOR]

[Guide][Ref][Z][BYO] Project Developer - AIO TUTORIAL

Project Developer
Welcome
This is a guide for all those who want to build for their Xperia Z Device but do not neccesasarily have the knowledge or experience.
This is an unofficial guide for the building of custom ROMs and other mods for the Xperia Z. This is a work in progress, with additions being made as often as possible. This thread has already grown with the help of the devs established in this forum. BMP777 began this project a year ago when I was using a Samsung GS II Skyrocket. BMP777 started another alike thread called PR II in the LGOG forum a while back as well. I have since moved on to a ONE, but both threads remain to this day. and Started by Me on Xperia Arc The point is this: everyone who uses this site has a desire for modding, customizing, and/or otherwise altering their device. Unfortunately, many have no idea how to go about doing these things for themselves. As such, there is a lot of dissatisfaction among developers about receiving constant demands, suggestions, and requests for updates. This thread is meant to give those who want to step up and build for themselves the means to do so. It is an ever-changing thread, with all assistance welcomed.
READ ME:
On one hand, it should go without saying that if you have no knowledge and/or experience with building, java, C++, and various other tools, you probably shouldn't begin here. At the same time, it is possible to learn to build, provided you can read, follow directions, and aren't too lazy to RESEARCH.
OH YEAH, and you better have patience. This isn't easy. It will be work. The quickest way to get flamed is to show yourself to be lazy. If you think that with a couple clicks, you can have your own flashy ROM, forget it. But, if you do want to learn, this is a good place to get started. I have no ego about this; I started the same way and just want to help everyone learn to build their own ROM. But, everyone will struggle to get to a successful point, and lazy, unmotivated people just irritate those who have had to learn from scratch too. Tutorials will be posted for any new thing learned and built as time and space allow. ALL ARE WELCOME AND ALL QUESTIONS ARE TOO. But, seriously, if it's a really ridiculous one, I/we reserve the right to screw with you about it.

Build Enviorment Set up :
This is a combination of the steps offered in the threads 'Compile JB on Ubuntu' and TeamChopsticks CyanogenMod.
Special thanks to dastin1015 and TeamChopsticks.
Tip: Allocate at least 75 gigs of space for the building of ONE ROM. If you install ccache, you will want 90. A complete build directory can use as much as 100 gigs, so make sure you have plenty of room. One of the ways to fail out a build is too use all of your partition before acquiring all the necessary files.
Here are the steps from those 2 tutorials in correct order:
0.1 ))
Install Gedit
Code:
# gedit
sudo apt-get install gedit
1) You need the following:
-JDK 6 if you wish to build Jellybean.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]$ sudo apt-get oracle-java7-installer
-Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.[/COLOR]
Or:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install python
-Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.[/COLOR]
Or:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo apt-get install git-core[/COLOR]
-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 – this tutorial assumes you've done that as well.
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:
[COLOR="black"]# Android tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin[/COLOR]
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"
You have now successfully installed the Android SDK.[/COLOR]
To check for updates issue this into your terminal:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ android[/COLOR]
2) Install required packages. 64-bit (recommended)
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ 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 lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z-dev
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown
libxml2-utils lzop schedtool[/COLOR]
On newer versions of Ubuntu such as 11.10 you may need to do the following:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ 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[/COLOR]
3) Configure your USB.
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules[/COLOR]
Inside of this blank text file insert:
Code:

4) Save the file and close it and then issue this command:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules[/COLOR]
5) Install the repo:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo[/COLOR]
Create your work directory:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir ~/"your directory name here" For example: mkdir ~/cm10
cd ~/cm10[/COLOR]
Setup local manifest:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]mkdir .repo/local_manifests
touch .repo/local_manifests/sony.xml
gedit .repo/local_manifests/sony.xml[/COLOR]

Building Instructions : For CyanogenMod :: AOKP :: Carbon roms :: Beanstalk
Unofficial
To get started with Android/CyanogenMod, you'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:
first create folder named " cm "
Code:
mkdir cm
enter into cm
Code:
cd ~/cm
For CM - 11.0 kitkat 4.4.x
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0[/COLOR]
Then to sync up:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Please see the CyanogenMod Wiki for building instructions.
For more information on this Github Organization and how it is structured, please read the wiki article.
Create and edit semc.xml in .repo:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gedit .repo/local_manifests/sony.xml[/COLOR]
Add this to the semc.xml:
For CM 11.0 KitKat 4.4.x
copy paste semc.xml for kikat 4.4 from above
then
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="black"]. build/envsetup.sh (notice the period and space)
vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
[/COLOR]
then
Code:
brunch yuga
Special thanks to scott.hart.bti for his hard work -
From terminal
1. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd[/COLOR]
.
This will bring you to your root folder.
2. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir beanstalk[/COLOR]
.
This will create a folder named beanstalk.
3. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd beanstalk[/COLOR]
.
This will take you to the beanstalk directory created from previous step
4. type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]repo init -u git://github.com/scotthartbti/android.git -b kk44[/COLOR]
.
This will setup the folders to be synced.
5. For Beanstalk KitKat 4.4.x
copy paste sony.xml for kikat 4.4 from above
then
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]repo sync[/COLOR]
apply patches for 4.4
9. Outside of terminal, navigate to beanstalk/vendor/cm. Double click on the get-prebuilts file and select run in terminal. This will fetch necessary files needed to build and place them where they need to be.
10. Type
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]. build/envsetup.sh && brunch yuga[/COLOR]
11. Previous step will start building beanstalk for your device. The process takes anywhere from 1 - 3 hours depending on your computer.
12. Once completed, it will say package complete and you will have a beanstalk named zip file in your out folder.

Exit out and open new. Initialize and build. That's it! Makes you wonder why you never did it before, right?
Not so fast. You may have build issues, you may not. I had a few lengthy sets of errors in gsm calltracker and another .java file that was solved by using Meld and making it look exactly like a successful build's file. More as I learn.......

Kernel Building and Ccache
Building your first kernel
:
This is a set of steps to get you building your first kernel. Special thanks to thewadegeek for putting this tutorial together. His thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748297
Step 1. Build Environment
A. Install Ubuntu 12.04(Not holding your hand here, if you can't do this you shouldn't be messing with kernels)
B. Required packages: git-core, gnupg, flex, bison, gperf, libsdl-dev, libesd0-dev, libwxgtk2.6-dev, build-essential, zip, curl, libncurses5-dev, zlib1g-dev, ia32-libs, lib32z1-dev, lib32ncurses5-dev, gcc-multilib, g++-multilib, and Adb.
C. Open a terminal
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir android[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd android[/COLOR]
G.Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir kernel[/COLOR]
Step 2. Your Source
A. Open your Terminal Prompt
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cd android/kernel[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]git clone git://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git toolchains[/COLOR]
D. Now comes the tricky part, you need to have some-type of source for your kernel. Check the following two sites for your device as appropriate. Once you have it download it is extracted/cloned into a folder in your kernel directory.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wpor...ads/opensource
Step 3. Modifications
This is the part people are curious about, they want to make modifications to the kernel to make it "special". Start all these from the root directory of your kernel source.
Mod 1. Applying a patch
A. Download the patch you wish to apply, in this case this one should work.
B. Save that file as "kernelPatch" in your kernel directory.
C. Open a Terminal
D. Move into the root directory of the kernel you wish to patch.
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]patch -p1 < ../kernelPatch[/COLOR]
Mod 2. Adding a Governor Alone
A. Open "drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig"
B. Add the following lines in appropriate spot amongst the other govenor's
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]config CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SMARTASS
bool "smartass"
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS
select CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE
help
Use the CPUFreq governor 'smartass' as default.
[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]config CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS
tristate "'smartass' cpufreq governor"
depends on CPU_FREQ
help
smartass' - a "smart" optimized governor!
If in doubt, say N.[/COLOR]
C. Open "drivers/cpufreq/Makefile"
D. Add the following line in the appropriate spot.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"] obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SMARTASS) += cpufreq_smartass.o[/COLOR]
E. Create a file called "drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_smartass.c"
F. Put the following code in that file.
http://pastebin.com/f0Bk9kVZ
G. open "include/linux/cpufreq.h"
H. Under the "Cpufreq Default" section add
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]#elif defined(CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_SMARTASS)
extern struct cpufreq_governor cpufreq_gov_smartass;
#define CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR (&cpufreq_gov_smartass)[/COLOR]
Ok there is a governor added, do the exact same steps for any other one's you would like to add.
Step 4. Getting a Config file
Option A. Pulling a config file from a kernel.
A. Hook up a device that is using a kernel similar to one you are using as your base.
B. Open a terminal
C. Change to your root kernel directory
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]adb pull /proc/config.gz[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]gunzip config.gz[/COLOR]
F. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mv config arch/arm/configs/<your_config_name>_defconfig[/COLOR]
Option B. Using the manufacturers config.
Unfortunately as stated above, not all kernels support the "/proc/config.gz" method. You can typically find a manufacturer's configuration file in "arch/arm/configs". I believe the one for my HTC Flyer was called "flyer_hc_defconfig", so look for a layout similar to that one. Also read the README to get a better idea of how to modify it. I would personally make a copy of it called "<your_config_name>_defconfig" and use that as my base.
Step 5. Building
Time to start the real "build" section of this tutorial.
Part A. Pre-build Steps
A. Open terminal and change to the root of your kernel directory
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]export ARCH=arm[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/kernel/toolchains/arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2/bin/arm-eabi-[/COLOR]
Part B. The First Build
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make <your_config_name>_defconfig[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make menuconfig[/COLOR]
and make the required changes to use any modules you added or similar changes.
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make -j<maximum number of jobs>[/COLOR]
Part C. Re-Builds
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make clean[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make oldconfig[/COLOR]
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make -j<maximum number of jobs>[/COLOR]
Part D. Building Modules
You have two options:
A. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make modules[/COLOR]
B. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]make path/to/your/module.ko[/COLOR]
The above steps explained:
Part A.(These steps are required every time you close your terminal and re-open it to build again.)
A. Ok shouldn’t need to explain this.
B. This command sets your target architecture.
C. Defines the path to the toolchain we are going to use to compile our kernel. You can change this to point towards whatever toolchain you have downloaded or feel like using, the way it is currently configured it will use the Linaro toolchain that we downloaded above.
Part B.(These only need to be run the first time you build a kernel.)
A. Load's your configuration file from earlier.
B. Open up a menu to configure your kernel. It will use the config file you loaded in the previous step as a base.
C. Viola start the build. I typically allow 1 job per core, so on my quad core machine I put "make -j4". Just raising that number will not make your build faster, your processor needs to be able to support the number of jobs you are assigning it.
Part C. (Use the command's when you are building any-time outside of the first)
A. This command gets rid of any old/outdated binaries or modules you compiled before, and let's start fresh. I like to run it every I build unless my changes are really small and localized.
B. A very awesome command, it parses through what has changed and only prompts you about new options.
C. See the explanation for the above "Part C.".
Part D.(Use these for just building kernel modules.)
A. This will re-build all modules.
B. Will rebuild just the module you need. Very useful when you need to rebuild a WiFi module.
Step 6. Now what
Ok we have now started our build and we are waiting for it to finish, so there are two possible outcomes:
Outcome A. Build Succeeds
W00t!! You have a kernel built by your self from source. There are a couple things you need in-order to use this kernel on your device any ".ko" modules and the zImage binary. If you pay attention to the output of your compiler then you will see the location of those objects. However the following commands will make your life a bit easier(Thanks Recognized Developer Hacre):
A. Open a terminal
B. Change to your root kernel directory
C. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]mkdir ../<your_kernel>_output[/COLOR]
D. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cp arch/arm/boot/zImage ../<your_kernel>_output/zImage[/COLOR]
E. Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]find . -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} ../<your_kernel>_output \;[/COLOR]
The above steps explained:
A-C. Self-Explanatory
D. Move our kernel binary into our output folder
E. This handy bit of magic finds all ".ko" modules and also copies them into your output file.
You will also need to assemble a kernel image containing a initramfs for your device, along with the kernel binary and such. That however is beyond the scope of this tutorial. To get started though try searching the following phrases.
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]building android kernel image
xda build kernel image
xda unpack boot.img[/COLOR]
Outcome B. Build Fails
Oh dear. It failed. Well guess what...this is going to happen..a LOT. Get used to it, and get used to googling and experimenting with different solutions. The following are some tips that will help you with debugging your issues.
Running a "Clean" build
A. Backup your config file - Type
Code:
[COLOR="black"]cp .config ../backupConfig[/COLOR]
B. Re-run the build process using just your defconfig from earlier.
Limiting Output(Thanks Hacre.)
A. Another good tip is to run "make -j1" to get the error, as it will limit the amount of text you need to scroll through.[/COLOR]

CCACHE​
Here is a brief tutorial on the installation of Ccache, which can shorten build times drastically :
If you have room on your build system you can speed
your builds up considerably by using ccache. ccache is a compiler
cache. It speeds up re-compilation of C/C++ code by caching
previous compiles and detecting when the same compile is
being done again.
Install it with apt-get:
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]sudo apt-get install ccache[/COLOR]
Set environment vars for Android use:
(I put these exports in my .bashrc)
Code:
[COLOR="Black"]export USE_CCACHE=1
export NDK_CCACHE=ccache[/COLOR]
Set a cache size of 10G for optimal results:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]ccache -M 10G[/COLOR]
Check the status of your cache with the command:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]ccache -s [/COLOR]
Returns:
Code:
[COLOR="black"]
cache directory /home/jocala/.ccache
cache hit 106673
cache miss 18379
called for link 3758
preprocessor error 5
not a C/C++ file 4425
unsupported compiler option 678
no input file 4565

cache size 3.2 Gbytes
max cache size 10.0 Gbytes[/COLOR]

Overview
I. Preparation
II. Installation of the required packages
III. Installing Java
IV. The sources
V. Building the ROM
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
I. Preparation
Things you need for building:
A computer
An internet connection
An open mind
Time
Patience
First of all, you need a running up-to-date Ubuntu/Linux system. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL EVERYTHING AS A USER WITH NORMAL RIGHTS. DON'T INSTALL AS ROOT!
II. Installation of the required packages (Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex \
g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf \
lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev \
libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev \
libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop \
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool \
squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
III. Installing Java
You need a version 6 Java Development Kit for building CM11.0. Usually, the SUN JDK 6 is recommended. But there is another way: you can use the OpenJDK 6. When you installed the required packages as described above, you will just need to configure your Java installation.
Check your Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the right Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
If they are pointing to the wrong versions you have to change that to OpenJDK6.
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
That's it.
IV. The sources
Install repo:
Repo is a tool that makes it quite easy to download and maintain the sources of Cyanogenmod.
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create the working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm11
$ cd ~/cm11
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
and enter your credentials.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync
Wait until it's finished - takes some time to download the hefty 12 GB of source code!
Have a break, have a KitKat!
If the process stops responding, use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
If you are running into a lot of syncing errors the reason might be that the 'repo sync' command is establishing four threads automatically. This might be too much. So try to change the command to run with one thread only by using
Code:
$ repo sync -j1
Initialize the environment
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
Obtain the files:
Add repositories for the MOTO G by creating two files in the local_manifests directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl-H in your file manager. If the directory isn't already there, create it with
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests
Use this code to create the file falcon.xml
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/falcon.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor (20140219: repos changed to CyanogenMod)
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_qcom-common" path="device/motorola/qcom-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="[COLOR="DarkRed"]CyanogenMod[/COLOR]/android_device_motorola_falcon" path="device/motorola/falcon" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="[COLOR="DarkRed"]CyanogenMod[/COLOR]/android_kernel_motorola_msm8226" path="kernel/motorola/msm8226" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="[COLOR="DarkRed"]CyanogenMod[/COLOR]/android_device_motorola_msm8226-common" path="device/motorola/msm8226-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display-caf-new" path="hardware/qcom/display-caf-new" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_media-caf-new" path="hardware/qcom/media-caf-new" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_fm" path="hardware/qcom/fm" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Use this code to create the file vendor.xml (in case you already have a vendor.xml file because you are buiilding for multiple devices, just add the project line to your vendor.xml file)
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/vendor.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="vendor/motorola" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Run
Code:
$ repo sync
again to get the files needed.
Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by running
Code:
$ cd ~/cm11
$ vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
And you're done syncing!
V. Building the ROM
Now build it:
Code:
$ brunch falcon
And the building process starts. Have patience now. Building takes around half an hour on fast systems and a lot more on older and slower machines.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/cm11/out/target/product/falcon
It is called cm-11-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-falcon-zip. You can flash it via CWM/TWRP as usual.
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
Whenever you like to update your sources and build a new version you have to run these four simple commands:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm11
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch falcon
Compiling again takes less time than compiling took the first time because it's only building new parts while reusing old parts that haven't changed.
Happy building!

Is it not necessary to also run this again?
Code:
cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../..
PS: At the end of part IV youve got "get-prebuilts" instead of "./get-prebuilts".

It is the pre-built terminal program. You just need it the first time you build. Otherwise you would get an error message while compiling the ROM. It is unnecessary to get the program over and over again. Since it's pre-built, it gets its updates from the market/play store.

Really depends on the time I will have on my hands and the interest the thread draws. Maybe I'll add some tweaks and tricks including a basic set of compiling against Linaro TC 4.8.x next week. We will see...

Is there an automatic way to have the build.prop file (the system/build.prop option ro.build.date) altered?
I have a script renaming the compiled rom - to make the filaname end with "-michalurban-$NOW" where $NOW is a variable containing date and time of creation. And I would like to remove the ro.build.date value and replace it with michalurban-$NOW so I would easily know if Im using Official NIGHTLY or my build ...
My Linux (Bash, whatever) skill is knee deep in manure Im afraid ... is this possible?

I usually change the build.prop indirectly before the building process.
I delete a few files before rebuilding. E.g. the old build.prop with
Code:
rm -f out/target/product/falcon/system/build.prop
Whenever I am setting up a new build environment I edit the file common.mk in /vendor/cm/config
In line 317 or 323 you could try to change the value of CM_DISPLAY_VERSION or ro.cm.display.version to suit your needs.
Or you can do what I am doing - I usually add a time value to my ROMs (Rom-name and CyanogenMod-version under 'About phone'):
line 288 reads:
Code:
CM_VERSION := $(PRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR)-$(shell date -u +%Y%m%d)-$(CM_BUILDTYPE)$(CM_EXTRAVERSION)-$(CM_BUILD)
and I changed it to
Code:
CM_VERSION := $(PRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR)-$(shell TZ=":Europe/Berlin" date +%Y%m%d\-%H%M%S)[email protected]$(CM_BUILDTYPE)$(CM_EXTRAVERSION)-$(CM_BUILD)
I also added [email protected] You can change practically everything here.
Then save the file and rebuild.
The CyanogenMod Version in 'about phone' should look like this when you flash the ROM:
Happy building!

Is it possible to do this on a NTFS-formatted drive? Im running low on space on my linux /home directory but Ive got plenty of space on my Win7 NTFS drive ... Im just afraid of file permission troubles ...

you can make an image file on the NTFS partition loopmount it, then format it to ext4.

You mean to create a file on the NTFS partition, format it as EXT4, mount it somewhere and then use it for compilation via Ubuntu but "on" the NTFS drive? Wouldnt it mean a hard hit to the performance? I suppose it wont but as my PC is not high-end everything matters ...
BTW I found some guide on the Net and Ive modified it for my needs (probably lol). Is it ok?
Code:
# Create file to store EXT4 partition on NTFS partition (100GB)
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/media/D/linux.img bs=2048 count=50000000
# Create and format loop device (of the EXT4 file)
losetup /dev/loop0 /media/D/linux.img
mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/loop0
# Mount the new EXT4 file
mount -o loop /media/D/linux.img /home/michal/NTFSdrive
EDIT: Script tested and running fine (I got so excited I wrote this edit in czech not english the first time lol).

yeah I meant exactly that. This guide seems ok. The performance won't be as good as with a native partition, but won't be terribly bad either

Another weird question of mine:
I deleted all files, set the CCACHE to be 100GB using command "prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 100G" which was confirmed and started the whole process. But after successfully finishing compilation the directory is again "only" 50GB ... why? I expected it to be twice as large ...

You have to inform the compiler that the cache will be used first, then config a directory and last, set the cache size to xx GB which creates the hidden dir. (to see it, use Ctrl+H)
Code:
$ export USE_CCACHE=1
$ export CCACHE_DIR=/your_path_here/.ccache
$ prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 100G
Btw: it's a good idea to use a 'make clean' first...
To see what's going on while caching, open another terminal, go to your cm11 root dir and execute
Code:
watch -n1 -d prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -s

Now, Ive got a script building the ROM for me. It usually works fine for first sync and compilation as well as for any secondary syncs. But sometimes it returns a message that something isnt present in some file (it differs) and the compilation ends with "Error 1" which I found to be "Out of memory". Now, the guide at CM web says that I should
Code:
edit: system/build/tools/releasetools/common.py
change: java -Xmx2048m to java -Xmx1024m or java -Xmx512m
BTW the right file path is
Code:
build/tools/releasetools/common.py
But Im curious if this change could be done in an automated way by the script (and Im not really familiar with sed, awk and all this regular expressions) ... If not, I guess Ill put some READ command before the compilation itself, giving me time to change it - or just add "nano system/build/tools/releasetools/common.py". But still, automatic way would be better.
EDIT: Solution (with JAVAMEM being set in the beginning of the script):
Code:
sed -i 's/Xmx2048m/Xmx'$JAVAMEM'm/' build/tools/releasetools/common.py
ADD:
Weird, when I try to set the directory and size for CCACHE, nothing happens - it stays at /home/michal/.ccache and 100GB ...

About two days ago a new problem emerged. I followed the guide exactly but in the end, after "brunch falcon"
Code:
make: *** [/home/michal/Build/MotoG-CM11/out/target/product/falcon/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/hwcomposer.msm8226_intermediates/hwc_utils.o] Error 1
It happened before so I erased all content of the directory and did all the commands from scratch. But its the same ... even after changing Java memory something (Xmx2048m) to 1024, which was recommended in the CM guide.
