Hello, I am new to the community and although I have flashed loads of roms to various devices this is the first I have tried to build from source.
As it says in the title I am trying to build for my Oppo find 5 which there is a nightly build for, I wanted to try and build from source though.
I have set up the build environment as described on the omni website.
I have followed a set of instructions but when I come to build using
Code:
brunch find5
i dont get a zip in the out folder. I do get the following notes though in the terminal after the build.
Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

Those errors are meaningless. Post the full log as an attachment please.
Although I'd suggest reading through the errors first - the first skill anyone needs in Android development is the ability to look through a log and analyze what is what.
At the very least you might've forgotten envsetup. You probably forgot to pull blobs with extract-files (or finding them through some other source...) too - nearly everyone does.
Hello Entropy,
I have an issue too when building find5 KK. In fact no really building as i manage to get the homemade zip file, manage to flash it, it boots ok, everything is working except that my radio is not recognised so no IMEI and no mobile network, wifi is ok. Here is a link to my own build witch has exactly the same size in KB that the official nightly. Strange stuff is that if i flash the official nightly over my build then no issue, and the radio is recognised.
Blobs are coming from donkey github
I tried to flash from aokp 4.3 build, then also from Color OS, same result.
Flashed maxwen radios 4.1 and 4.2 over my build same issue
I'm building from virtual box ubuntu 12.04, JDK 1.6 update 45, on a Mac.
The only thing i see that may be wrong is that at the end of each build before the package is delivered i see no radio.img found, skipping install, but i've read that it was coming without radio.
Tried to add a line in the build.prop to disable selinux "ro.boot.selinux=disabled" i did not help.
I use maxwen TWRP patched recovery, but also tried with last cwm recovery and same result.
With the same build environment i manage to build I9300 omni kitkat without issue.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Many thanks in advance, and also thanks for the great job you all with Omni:good:

yes i'm sure. i was first using the one from themuppets github, then Guillaume advised me to use the coyote ones. Size of the find5 vendor folder is 40,1MB, 132 files. Strangely i had this issues with my last 5 builds, but with the today one, problem disappeared and now my baseband is recognised and everything ok, though i still have this no radio.img message at the end of the build.
Really strange indeed i hate not to know what was the issue Anyway i will build again tomorrow and let you know, Chasmodo from Asylum team is also helping me a lot in understanding some stuffs as i'm a new and noob in building
One question about blobs: when i try to extract it from my device, it works when i run an 4.3 aokp build but then i get error in building. If i try to extract blobs from omni 4.4 (official nightly) i get some access denied on some blobs and then also some errors in the build. No issue with coyote ones though.
Many thanks for your time mate!
So guys, my problem with find5 modem seems to be fixed, no issue with today build neither. But.....now facing exactly the same issue with jftlexx(i9505)...
Build went OK, blobs from coyote, flash and boot OK....but no modem again, I may be do wrong stuff when flashing or missing something.
Before flashing I always do factory reset + wipe system, then flash build, gapps(pa ones mostly) + supersu.
Same repo, same vendor, I9300 OK but manually added local manifest as in your tuto.
Rebuilding atm
Thanks a lot

Hey guys,
I have been having trouble getting started developing applications for android. I know how to use Java, and frequently use the netbeans ide for my java homework ect. But I decided why not adventure out and build upon what I learned in school. Unfortunately I have ran into nothing but problems. The first problem is this:
"Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g editing, debugging) will not work properly. "
In the messeages window it reads:
[file path to \app\build.gradle]
Failed to Find: com.android.support:appcompact-v7:21+
I have had trouble using grade in eclipse....well I only got eclipse to work once, when I first got my phone, and managed to make a small pop-up app for my self. I did not know any programming language at the time. I merely just copy and pasted most of the code.
and problem number two;
The generated code is riddled with errors?
I look through most of these errors and they state that certain things can be resovled. For example, cant resolve "support" <--- I think that by not having this imported correctly (I think this falls into the first problem) is causing the rest of the errors in my MainActivity file to go crazy.
Is their any way to post more information? Like a log file, maybe that might be of more help too. I just am unfamiliar with Android Studio, as of right now. Attached is a picture of the IDE when is spawns the error.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Ok guys, I figured it out. We need to install a package from the sdk manager. The picture shows which one needs to be installed. The package is "Android Support Repository"
Seems you have already gotten the answer. But for this kind of questions, past the main line of the error log into Google is much faster than post a question, I think.
Hi xda,
I've been working on building Xposed x86_64 for our tablet and, even if it's not working yet, the results look promising to me
The tablet is not booting, which could sound really bad, but actually, after applying some required patches to the original rovo89 code (https://github.com/rovo89), there are no scary errors in the boot log (i.e. kernel panic, raw level, art related, native code errors). :fingers-crossed:
The current issue is related only to some odex files not correctly generated for some system packages, which leads to a non booting UI, even if the tablet is actually up and running.
I will keep on working on it, but it would be great if someone here on XDA would be interested in helping me ( @alquez what do you think?), since there is not a lot of documentation and @rovo89 is quite busy.
Just write to me if you are up for it.
PS: here is the boot log with the failure I'm facing in the latest version I built: https://gist.github.com/Gia90/f1cc9170f423883a9384205305f39ce7
Any progress?
I need a little bit of help portingh crDroid 6 to the sm-t350. Nubianprince started then got pulled away by work. I have initalized the crdroid repo, but i when i run repo sync i think it only downloaded like, 300 mb. i do have an android pie enviroment, does repo link resources? i dont know what is going on there. I will upload my roomservice.xml. I had to remove a couple lines from the original and manually clone them because it keeped giving me an error. the original is here https://github.com/Nubianprince/local_manifests/blob/master/crdroid-ten.xml .
Currently i am using this device tree: https://github.com/Nubianprince/android_vendor_samsung_gt58wifi most custom roms i see are using this: https://github.com/Valera1978/android_device_samsung_gtaxlwifi . I have not seen any non sm-5xx devices using it though, so i hesitate to switch. i worked out a a couple errors of things being defined twice, and then built. but i think i am missing something as the build fails with this: FAILED: ninja: 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/root/init.usb.configfs.rc', needed by 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/ramdisk-recovery.cpio', missing and no known rule to make it
Is there a "quick fix" to provide this file? I am not actually sure what i am missing, or what creates it.
Any help would be appreciated.
This file "init.usb.configfs.rc" is missing from your device tree, somewhere in one of your files you have the path pointing to "init.usb.configfs.rc" which does not exist. Let me know if that makes sense.

Yes, it does make sense. I just don't know enough about the android environment to know where the file, or what is pointing to it, would / should be.
Okay. I believe there is a missing, or many many missing makefiles. I found the file and manually copied it to out, and then the build fails with another missing file. Rinse and repeat, there are a ton of files not being put where they should be. Now what to do with that information, i am not sure ??. I tried including a couple of the make files from android 9, but they didn't make any difference.
oh yeah, and if i do lunch instead of brunch it fails with a different file missing: FAILED: ninja: 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/system/addon.d/50-lineage.sh', needed by 'out/target/product/gt58wifi/verified_assembled_framework_manifest.xml', missing and no known rule to make it
it makes no sense adding files to the "out" folder, fix the issues in your "device" folder check your device.mk file
Wow. That was really awful. I don't even know what i was thinking there. What i was trying to say, is that i was manual copying the files to see if it was just one or two not being copied. I have been comparing the Pie and Q makefiles to try to determine what file was supposed to be copying it to out, but i cant find it in Pie, all i know for now is that it is being copied in Pie but not Q. For now I'm gonna' keep looking for the correct file.

That crdroid ten branch still need a lot of work, the last build I did when I was working on it was not getting past the logo

I have been away for a while and haven't followed along, but the last week I spent compiling ROMs. I also tried compiling Android 10 using "stock" lineageos gt58wifi and I got stuck at the logo as well. I also tried another device from the msm8916 repository and got stuck at the logo.
The "stock" gt58wifi build, as we all know, has problems with audio, bluetooth, smart cover, etc, etc in all versions 14.1, 15.0, 16.0 and won't even boot with 17.1.
When I first compiled it, it would fail due an error with a config.xml file. I submitted a patch, like others, but haven't seen anything yet.

I'm working on SM-T560NU 17.1. It too was stuck at the boot logo. I built an eng build and found it was the hardware vibrator that was getting stuck in a loop. If you remove the vibrator hal from
/device/samsung/msm8916-common/manifest.xml
that should work on the SM-T350 because both platforms share the same msm8916 code?
I did build SM-T350 with 17.1 and was stuck at boot logo and gave up. However, I have not rebuilt it knowing this new information. I will try again with the above change in a few days?
So, as retiredtab has said, he got android 10 booting. But it has all the issues android 9 did: no camera, sound, Bluetooth, or Hal sensor (sort of, it can turn the device on but not off). The system ui is also a little funny on crdroid, not sure about lineage. I don't know how to fix these issues, or where the roots of the problems may lay. Do you have any suggestions for learning more about the android source code? I feel like the aosp docs are good, but you kind of have to know what you're looking for.
I think part of the problem with the SM-T350 is that there has never been a fully working build since day 1. Lineageos 14 had problems to begin with and they were never fixed and got carried over to 15, 16 and now 17. If stock Lineageos 16 was fully working, then getting it to work on 17 would be less of a challenge.
The most likely problem to no audio, camera, bluetooth etc is the Samsung proprietary blobs are not in the correct directories or the configuration blob files are pointing to the wrong directory.
When I face this problem, I find it helpful to look at a working roomservice.xml file and do comparisons.
If there is no working roomservice.xml like "stock" lineageos 14, 15, and 16 for the SM-T350, then I look at similar models. For example, the T550 is the bigger brother and it helps to look through it's roomservice.xml file for hints.
Remember that a compiler mainly checks for syntax errors, not semantic. If you make a typo, a compiler will flag that as an error, but if you write correct syntax, but put a file or files in directory ABC instead of XYZ, the compiler won't say anything.
Another thing that might help is doing a logcat of a working build and comparing it to a non working build. There might be a very obvious error message like "can't find audio.hw.msm8916 in directory /device/samsung/msm8916" or something like that.
Learning how to use tools like meld and diff help tremendously in finding file and directory differences in case you put the blobs in the wrong place. See
https://www.tecmint.com/compare-find-difference-between-two-directories-in-linux/
I used meld when troubleshooting the stuck at boot logo.
If you are a visual learner, I found the following youtube channel helping in learning the overall process of building ROMs.
https://www.youtube.com/c/AlaskaLinuxUserAKLU/videos
I think we have lineage 16 fully working. I think the part I'm having trouble with here is the difference between where the files are read from in Android Q vs P.
If I understood what you said incorrectly, please say so.
hello
For the past few weeks i have been working on porting sailfish os to the LG Aristo 2. Its been a pain too as i had no idea where to start. Any ports to lineage or otherwise never got past boot and after a some searching i could not find a repo.
Any way i have managed to accomplish building a repo on github where curious folks could look me up by my handle. I originally started the project to boot native ubuntu on an sd like the v10 and v20.
But now i have backed myself into a corner. i have been compiling the systemD kernel using msm-3.18 source thats been upstreamed for two weeks now and i still cant get a boot.img that wont boot straight to fastboot.
can some one please help me accomplish this task.
then maybe we can move on to the build errors

You should go to IRC #sailfishos-porters, there you will find help from Jolla developers and from community
well i guess theres no help any where. the folks at telegram completely ignore me and are rude as f and if you say any thing about it they say you ate spamming for and claim you are the rude one. ive been ganged up on several times. irq doesnt seem to have enough people to help and i feel all hope is lost at this point.
on the other hand i have built a the whole rom completely and several times over but i cant get it installed and dont know how to see if the kernel works
ok im gonna keep trying to get help from here. I have gotten more help and made it farther in my abilities because of the help and info from this place than any other. Thank you
So this is where i am at. i have compiled Halium\Ubuntu touch several times over and worked it out with no compilation errors and including all of my sources.
But i cannot get it to ssh or telnet. I have followed all of the installation documents and i can see that its pulling the system.img and rootfs to data. i have entered my password on prompt its generated and pushed the rsa keys and every thing. but no go
i have checked the dmsg and kmsg after the attempts and no errors are reported.
so now im trying to go the route of the V20. I have an arm ubuntu 18.04 rootfs that i have unzipped and built up on the 2nd partition of my external sd. i installed every thing needed to build a kernel and any thing else i might need. i have msm-fb-refresher compiled and installed. I also have dev sys and proc mounted bound and and have made the devices using MAKEDEV. But when i try to build the kernel on my aristo 2 in the chroot i get these weird graphics characters and i have to restart my terminal to get my characters back.
in the mean time i compiled the kernel on my pc and had the modules installed to the chroot outside the android device and used update-initramfs to create an initrd.img exteacted it and made a boot.img that i put in the boot directory and installed to laf.
it will not boot stiil from laugh and goes to bootloader. but if i tell the chroot to reboot i get the error system cannot reboot with systemD as init cannot operate.
ok well still no help at any of the halium/ubuntu touch forums or telegram. But the bot said there was no kernel errors.
i have been looking at the lg v20 native ububtu mate rootfs and also the ectracted boot.img contents and i just dont know what it is thats causing it not to boot
