[TUTORIAL] So You Want To Build AOKP/ICS for the Thunderbolt?

This is strictly just a reference guide/tutorial! If you cannot simply follow directions and copy/paste, I'm not going to help you! This is idiot-proof.
Build Environment​
Operating system -- Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit)
Terminal
Decent hardware (minimum of at least a dual core CPU and 4 GB of RAM)
Optimally have an SSD (standard mechanical drives work as well but slow down the process drastically)
Must have required packages for building installed, I will list them further down
Required Packages​
Simply copy and paste this in a terminal window:
Code:
sudo apt-get install curl git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
Let that install and then proceed.
Getting the Source​
Make required directories
Obtain repo binary
Add repo binary to your path
Give repo binary proper permissions
Initialize empty repo
Sync repo
Grab device tree and vendor tree which are not included in the AOKP manifest
Add Mecha to the vendor setup
Alright, so now we're getting there. I have outlined the basics of what we're about to do and broke them down as I know them. This is all pretty much going to be copy/paste so it'll be fairly difficult to screw this up
Copy/paste:
Make directory for repo binary
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
Add directory for repo binary to your path
Code:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Download repo binary and place it in the proper directory
Code:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
Give the repo binary the proper permissions
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create directory for where the AOKP repo will be stored and synced
Code:
mkdir ~/aokp
Move to our new AOKP directory
Code:
cd ~/aokp
Initialize the AOKP repo and download the manifest
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b master
Sync AOKP source
Code:
repo sync -jX
X == Number of cores your CPU has
Grab the device tree needed for mecha
Code:
git clone git://github.com/ProTekk/device_htc_mecha.git -b aokp device/htc/mecha
Grab the vendor tree needed for mecha
Code:
git clone git://github.com/ProTekk/vendor_htc_mecha.git -b ics vendor/htc/mecha
Add mecha to the vendor setup
Code:
gedit vendor/aokp/vendorsetup.sh
Now here you'll have to do some "manual" work. At the end of the file add:
Code:
add_lunch_combo aokp_mecha-userdebug
Save and close the file.
Start the build​
This is probably the EASIEST part of all, simply copy/paste this command and walk away!
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && lunch aokp_mecha-userdebug && make otapackage -jX
Where X == cores per CPU again.
Syncing the repo is dependent upon your Internet connection. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to fully sync. Same thing goes for build times. Don't expect this to be short. If you have patience and have no build errors, you'll end up with a flashable zip in ~/aokp/out/target/product/mecha! Happy crack-flashing!

Sorry I'm a noob so this is probably a really dumb question but r u supposed to have ur phone plugged into the computer while doing the terminal on Ubuntu???

Error on the first step
I'm interested in working on this (and hopfully learning a lot (because right now I know almost nothing)) - but on the first step, I get an error related to lib32zl-dev as follows:

Thanks,

Since we have an official version of ICS now. Does the github have the updated stuffs so we can have a fully working build? I want this as I'm getting tired of sense.

Thanks for posting this ProTekk! I'd like to get this working as well, so maybe some Linux heads can chime in on the errors I'm getting after trying to install the required packages:

I am following this as well, this seems to be an old document because a lot of the links are dead. What I did for the libs is:
(excluding the others that are required)
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6-multilib g++-4.6-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev
And I plan to grab the Java SDK from Oracle's website.

That is exactly what you have to do prior to building from source.

Thanks for this tip. I've installed the updated libs that you suggested, then installed the OpenJDK using:
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
Is OpenJDK okay to use or is there a specific need for Sun Java JDK? I found the link for the JDK here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
Now that the updated libs and the JDK were installed properly, I ran the command that ProTekk posted minus the previously installed libs:
Code:
sudo apt-get install curl git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev pngcrush schedtool g++-multilib
Everything installed properly. Just wanted to check if I'm now ready to build the source or if there's anything else I need to do beforehand.

Here is a good guide getting java and all setup right to build from source. Of course don't use the git stuff just the java setup.
I don't think his mecha stuff is on there anymore. Could be wrong.

But I changed ProTekk to CoolSilver and it appeared to work fine. Anyone still attempting this that might be able to help?

I'm not sure what level of involvement any of you are interested in, but I'm currently working on porting CM9 to the Thunderbolt with sources at https://github.com/jblack248. Of course, it's not incorporated into the AOKP build process although that shouldn't be too difficult since it's probably just an additional makefile (an assumption).
Currently the RIL is being difficult with mobile data, but calling and SMS work using CM's HTC RIL. It's not ready for a release just yet, but I thought I'd give a shout to all of you since I see you're trying to build from source. Hopefully I can help in some way; the Thunderbolt forum could use some positive excitement.

The gitt link a few posts above is for the jellybean branch hence the -b jb for the AOKP git clone. Try -b ics
Ill take a look at the cm9 stuff tomorrow. Need to partition more HD space to Linux.

What's advantage of using AOKP if they forked from CyanogenMod? It would be same for HP Touchpad, maybe it would be even behind in update until AKOP merge new commits from CyanogenMod git.

There are lots of advantages in using AOKP. Rom Control has so many tweaks. It's really a great build. Only certain things are forked (which you will find in every AOSP variant)

It is in the partner repo so you need to make sure it is enabled.
If you open Synaptic and go to Tools/Repositories, then Other Software you should be able to check off Canonical Partners and Canonical Partners (Source Code). Reload, close Synaptic, and try again.

To anyone on the Ubuntu 12.04 nightlies, don't even bother trying to compile this, let alone install the dependencies. Build errors up the arse, repo sync errors, and a myriad of other hassles that just aren't worth it. A fresh install of 11.10 fixed everything for me, even following the same exact steps I was doing on 12.04.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Rather than do this in a VM, I'd like to create a second partition on my desktop and just run Ubuntu native.
Any recommendations for partition size? Whenever I create an Ubuntu VM, VirtualBox recommends 8GB, which I generally increase to 24GB (4GB for swap, 4GB for /home, and 16GB for / mounts) but as I've never tried to build from source, I have no idea what the space requirements are.
Please advise.

Went ahead and built it in a VirtualBox VM, on top of an SSD, with the device settings in VBox set to reveal to the guest OS that the host HDD is an SDD. Seems very fast. I configured my VM with a Dynamic drive, and set the max space to 64GB (doubt I'll ever come close to that) with 4GB RAM, 4 virtual CPU cores, and 4GB of swap space.
The current size of the virtual disk after my first build of the tenderloin source is 33GB. I'd say if you were going to set up an actual hard drive partition that 40GB would be a minimum, and probably closer to 64GB would be wise depending on if you want to build two versions simultaneously.
For those who struggle with the initial setup, if you're using Ubuntu 11.10, you won't be able to add sun-java6-jdk via apt-get simply by adding Canonical's partner repos. Sun is no longer making the package available via the partner repo's.
Instead, open a terminal window and do the following:
Code:
cd ~/
wget https://raw.github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/master/oab-java6.sh -O oab-java6.sh
chmod +x oab-java6.sh
sudo ./oab-java6.sh
This downloads a shell script from flexion.org, which is the group that used to provide the sun-java6-jdk packages in Canonical's partner repo's before Canonical decided to block them for what they view as violating copyright law. The script is just a wrapper for steps you could take manually, and if you're curious what it does, before the last line above, you can always do the following to view the contents of the script:
Code:
cat oab-java6.sh
Obviously, use of this script presumes you've read and accepted Oracle's license terms, etc., found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/
Hopefully this helps some of our members who are getting stuck with the basics.

[GUIDE]Compiling ROMs from Compressed Sources

I have recieved many messages about how to compile ROMs from compressed sources , here i present the guide
First Lets start with the download links
Download Thanks to @DigiGoon @vaibhavpandeyvpz @kD @MSF Jarvis and @regalstreak for their works
for more info u can see the link above to understand things better
Now After Downloading the sources what to do
*extarct it using terminal as said in the above link
after that the main thing , installation of main packages
1)Installing Java Development Kit (JDK)
For Kitkat
Installation of Java V6
Open The Terminal and Paste following Command
a) This will Remove the wrong Java JDK from Ubuntu 13.10
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
b) Enter the Following Command and This will Install JDK
Code:
wget https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java/+files/oracle-java6-installer_6u45-0%7Ewebupd8%7E8_all.deb sudo dpkg -i oracle-java6-installer_6u45-0~webupd8~8_all.deb wget https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java/+files/oracle-java6-set-default_6u45-0%7Ewebupd8%7E8_all.deb sudo dpkg -i oracle-java6-set-default_6u45-0~webupd8~8_all.deb
c)Check The Java Version Installed
Code:
java -version
For Lollipop/Marshmallow Required Java Version is 7 (java 8 not yet supported)
To Install Java V7
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
NOTE: For Ubuntu 16.04 user use this command
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
*************JAVA INSTALLATION COMPLETES*****************
2)Installation Of Required Tools
Enter The Following Command
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg ccache lzop flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python
NOTE:if u get broken dependencies error use following command and then above command
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
**************All DONE*****************************
Now compiling and setting up files
after all the above
download all ur device related sources like device tree, kernel source, vendor files(if present)
Now where to keep those sources?
So, here i take cm13 and ASUS ZenFone 4 as example
The DEVICE TREE goes here:
cm13/device/asus/a400cg
Explaination:
asus is the company name u can know it from the .zip of the device tree u downloaded
*e.g.: android_device_asus_a400cg-master.zip
this says the directory and name of folders itself
device / asus / a400cg /
The Vendor Files Here:
cm13/vendor/asus/a400cg/
The Kernel Source (if not using prebuilt kernel) Here:
cm13/kernel/asus/a400cg/
***************SETTINGS FILES COMPLETE**************
Now Compiling:
open up terminal and cd to cm13 directory
Type :
. build/envsetup.sh or source build/envsetup.sh as ur choice
then
brunch a400cg
and finished wait for it to complete.
Holla u have compiled ROM from compressed source.
