[GUIDE CM11] How to made your own ROM based on CyanogenMod for the Note2

Make your 'own' KitKat ROM!
Overview
1. Installation of the required packages
2. Installing Java
3 The sources
5. Building the ROM
6. Rebuilding with newest sources
Installation of the required packages
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
Install java:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Check java version
Code:
java -version
Set java oracle as default
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
The sources
Install repo:
Note: 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:
Note: you can create the working directory where ever you want
Code:
mkdir ~/rom
cd ~/rom
Now Initialize Repo:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
Download the CM sources "this is the base only" :
Note: takes some time to download the hefty 12 GB of source code! and a locate about 18GB space from storage
Code:
repo sync
great, your clean base is ready for your creativity
Let's go!
Start making your manifest :
you need to add proprietary vendor , device stuff, samsung kernel, samsung kernel common
proprietary vendor:
there two awesome proprietary for samsung:
1- by TheMuppets https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-11.0
2- by xplodwild https://github.com/DonkeyCoyote/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/android-4.4
actually the both very strong and up-to-date , but i using the one by xplodwild
create new empty file "roomservice.xml" in path "~/rom/.repo/local_manifests/":
samsung kernel:
you can use CM Stock Kernel
1- https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412
you can use an custom kernel like devil kernel
2- https://github.com/DerTeufel/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412/
Code:
cd ~/rom/.repo/local_manifests/ && echo "" > roomservice.xml
Edit the file:
Code:
gksu gedit ~/rom/.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml
add the following:
Code:
<!-- proprietary vendor -->
<project name="DonkeyCoyote/proprietary_vendor_samsung" path="vendor/samsung" remote="github" revision="android-4.4" />
<!-- device stuff-->
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_n7100" path="device/samsung/n7100" remote="github" />
<!-- samsung kernel common -->
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common" path="device/samsung/smdk4412-common" remote="github" />
<!-- cm stock - samsung kernel -->
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412" path="kernel/samsung/smdk4412" remote="github" />
Save the file.
Now download your manifests stuff:
Code:
repo sync
Now to get the files needed
Note: required for the first time after you added device repo
Code:
cd ~/rom/vendor/cm
. get-prebuilts
cd ~/rom/
Building the ROM:
Note: Breakfast is a function used to configure your build. It keeps track of a list of officially-supported devices to build
Building takes around 2 hour on fast systems and a lot more on older and slower machines, first time take more than second time
more info : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_n7100
Run :
source build/envsetup.sh && breakfast n7100 && brunch n7100

{Guide} [HOW TO]Building CM11 from source for i9082/L

Here are the steps to build your own kernel from source. This guide is showing you how to build your first the stock kernel on your own..... It is kick start for making things on your own way....
This guide applies to i9082/i9082L and general devices also.:laugh:
This guide assumes you have basic knowledge of linux and linux system configuration.
Prerequisites
Quote:
HTML:
1. Ubuntu 13.10 / BBQLINUX (I personally use this)
2. patience...lots and lots of patience.
Here starts the fun:-
1. Installing ubuntu 13.10.
Quote:
This can be done in 3 ways and I am not gonna cover it all.
- along with windows ,i.e dual boot
- in virtualbox within windows
- as a windows application installation with "wubi" installer
For starting user i think second option, i.e installing in virtualbox is best.
here's starting tutorials
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDDRFiwHujg
NOTE - you should have atleast 100 Gb partion for virtualbox.
2. Setting up building environment.
PHP:
THIS ALL BELOW STEPS ARE NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED BBQLINUX, BUILDING ENVIRONMENT IS SET IN BBQLINUX BY DEFAULT. IT WORKS OUT-OF-THE-BOX.
Initializing a fresh Android Build Environment in Ubuntu 13.10 sucks, right? The instructions at the AOSP page are outdated and inaccurate. Near as I can tell, they try to have you install 2 JDKs, the first one not even being the correct link for Saucy Salamander, and the second being OpenJDK. Which might work. But I dunno about all that, I’d rather have Oracle’s official stamp when it comes to building for Android.
Currently most of the guides are up to 12.04 LTS, which is fine and dandy, but being on the cutting edge is nice too.
This guide applies to all variations of Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander 64 bit. Do not use the 32 Bit version. Also, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when to use “sudo” and when to not. It can make things funky if you do something as root that you shouldn’t.
Much thanks goes out to Google, ProTekk, Canonical, and everyone else that I read a random paragraph here and snippet there.
First, let’s set up the correct JDK.
Many of you probably have some kind of wrong Java installed unless you’re starting with a fresh Ubuntu base, and even then maybe.
Let’s get rid of that. Copy and paste this into a Terminal window:
Code:
PHP:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
Follow the instructions to remove OpenJDK.
If you must keep it, it’s possible. But I’m not going to tell you how to do it here. I don’t want any chance of confusion or mistake.
Now copy and paste the following into the Terminal:
Code:
PHP:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with 13.10.
No more unrecognized Java version errors! And it will update automatically with the rest of your system.
Next, we actually need to install the package. More copy-paste:
Code:
PHP:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Follow the on-screen instructions. You have to Accept the Licensing Agreement to complete the install. Hopefully no human centipede clauses.
Let’s make sure the correct version of Java is activated, run the following Terminal command:
Code:
PHP:
java -version
You should see something like the following:
Code:
PHP:
java version “1.6.0_45″ Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01, mixed mode)
Ok, back to a fresh Terminal prompt. Time for installing the guts to build stuff in Ubuntu:
Code:
PHP:
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
When that is done installing, run the following command in your Terminal window:
Code:
PHP:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
That’s it on the package side of things.
You guessed it, time for more Terminal. This really is the easiest way, seriously. And it’s totally worth it when you’re basking in the glory of a bunch of people on XDA.
The binary for a program called “repo” will let you talk to git servers and download all that precious source code. That second part after the && allows it to be executable:
Code:
PHP:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Use your favorite text editor to open ~/.bashrc
I like nano:
Code:
PHP:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the very bottom, add the following line:
Code:
PHP:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
PHP:
source ~/.bashrc
That should be everything. Now you’re ready to build Android the right way. Luck!
3. Downloading source
Open terminal
To initialize your local repository using the CyanogenMod trees, use a command like this:
HTML:
mkdir cm11
cd cm11
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
Create local_manifest.xml in .repo folder.
PHP:
cd .repo
nano local_manifest.xml
Paste following into the terminal
PHP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/samsung/i9082" name="pawitp/android_device_samsung_i9082" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project path="vendor/samsung/i9082" name="k2wl/android_vendor_samsung_i9082" remote="github" revision="master" />
<project path="kernel/samsung/i9082" name="pawitp/android_kernel_samsung_i9082" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash.
Then to sync up:
HTML:
repo sync -j#
# is number of jobs you want to give for your downloading source. I use 2.
Download gonna be huge. Approx 12-15 GB.
So its gonna take while depending upon your internet connection.
You may get errors while downloading, like
HTML:
Sync exited due to fetch errors
Just restart download by
HTML:
repo sync
4. Starting Building process
PHP:
. build/envsetup.sh && time brunch i9082 -j#
Again # is meant for No. of CPU cores you have.
Building gonna take time, depending upon your computer configuration.
Any errors, post here.
I will try my best to solve problems .
Start building your own CM11...
Any suggestion welcome.

Wow that's a really good guide.
You make building from a ROM/Kernel from source much simpler than it should be.
I just replaced my 12.04 LTS with 13.10 last night, was wondering if I shouldn't have, but if it's working good for your development, think I'll keep it for a while. And yes, building a fresh android build environment sucks
I'm new to android development, but so far the linux, java and php code seems mostly regular. Gonna start with kernel first, then maybe try my hand on building a ROM. Thank you for the guide! :good:

Good. Thats the spirit.
keep 13.10. its good.
i switched to BBQLINUX just few days, until earlier i was using 13.10.
kernel develpment is not much hussle.
just be sure...dont add features which make kernel unstable.
i statred with kernel development only...:good::laugh:
and then come to ROM development.
best luck..
if any queries regarding kernel or ROM development, just ask me...i am here to help.

this can be used to build other roms too right .... by just changing the github repo to the rom u wanna build

One more question, how to apply patches?

But, k2wl.
This method builds an Odin flashable file.
How to make flashable zips, which can be flashed through custom recoveries.????

copy the patch file to respective directory and apply patch with following command.
HTML:
patch -p1 < patch.diff
eg. if you want to apply bluetooth patch and ur patch name is fixbluetooth.diff
then
HTML:
cd hardware/broadcom/libbt/
git checkout .
patch -p1 < fixbluetooth.diff
if any problems plz tell me..

your device folder points to device named cm_i9082, not slim_i9082. thats why.
jst open cm.mk file in device/samsung/i9082 cm.mk and edit its content to slim.
means
if it says in the line cm_i9082 change it to slim_i9082.
save it.
rename the file to slim.mk
and change one more file which will point to slim.mk
i.e androidproducts.mk
change the
HTML:
PRODUCT_MAKEFILES := \ $(LOCAL_DIR)/device_i9082.mk
to
HTML:
PRODUCT_MAKEFILES := \ $(LOCAL_DIR)/slim.mk
after that one more file to be created.
slim.dependencies.
just rename cm.dependencies to slim.dependencies.
and then try that command again.
i am attaching files for you.
jst replace them. or edit as you like.

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.

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.

Guide on building Lollipop for the OnePlus One

Today I went about and built a copy of CM12 for my phone so that I can control when I get updates and I can get the most latest update. There was a few issues I ran into following other peoples guides in the Android L Dicussions, so I thought I'll do a quick write on exactly what I did so you can go about building it for yourself.
A good resource on building CyanogenMod is available at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_bacon, they don't have a guide for CM12, but still has some useful information.
Make sure you use the same operating system as I am using which is Ubuntu. I tried using Debian earlier, but had issues which may have been resulted to me not having enought memory on disk or me interupting the download of source code.
Preparing System for Build
Install the following items via apt-get.
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex git gnupg gperf 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 g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev
As per the instructions on the wiki for building CM, if you use a 32bit system, do not install g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev.
Install the latest version of Java's development kit using the following.
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Install the Android Development Kit using the following.
Code:
sudo apt-get install android androidsdk-uiautomatorviewer android-copyright android-src-vendor android-emulator android-tools-adb android-headers android-tools-adbd androidsdk-ddms android-tools-fastboot androidsdk-hierarchyviewer android-tools-fsutils androidsdk-traceview
Run the following in terminal.
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
reboot your system or use the following in terminal to load the .profile file again.
Code:
. ~/.profile
Getting the source code.
Now we can get onto grabbing the source code of CM12.
Run the following in terminal.
Code:
mkdir ~/cm
cd ~/cm
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.0
mkdir .repo/local_manifests
nano .repo/local_manifests/local_manifests.xml
When nano appears, paste the following into it and then exit using ctrl-x and choose to save.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_oneplus_bacon" path="device/oneplus/bacon" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_oppo_msm8974-common" path="device/oppo/msm8974-common" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_oppo_common" path="device/oppo/common" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974" path="kernel/oneplus/msm8974" remote="github" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_oppo" path="vendor/oppo" remote="github" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_oneplus" path="vendor/oneplus" remote="github" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_opt_connectivity" path="frameworks/opt/connectivity" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>
Continue getting the code using the following.
Code:
repo sync
cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../..
Building CM12
Run the following commands to build CyanogenMod.
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bacon
brunch bacon
After successful build, you should be able to go about copying the built CyanogenMod and installing it into your phone. The CyanogenMod build is located in ~/cm/out/target/product/bacon/ named something like cm-12-*-UNOFFICIAL-bacon.zip
You can install folllowing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/lollipop-install-guide-oneplus-one-t2940091
Re-building to update.
To re-build, you should just be able to run the following (Not yet tested myself, but makes logical sense).
Code:
make clobber
repo sync
cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../..
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch bacon
Q&A
Q: Recieve error: fatal: duplicate path device/qcom/sepolicy in ~/cm/.repo/manifest.xml
A: edit .repo/local_manifests/local_manifests.xml to remove the item which matches the item located in bold.
Q: How big is the repo?
A: 20GB just source code and 40GB when built. Therefore you should aim to have about 60GB free on your system.

you don't necessarily need Ubuntu 14.04. You could do just fine on 12.04 or 13.10 or whatever.
Also, something that's good to know: if you have a build environment that you've been building kitkat in, the only thing you need to do is update your Java from 1.6 to 1.7

how big is the cm 12 download?

This is a really nice tutorial. Thanks OP.

Nice guide!
Umm.... As far as I know, it isn't necessary to croot...
And it seems to compile fine with just . build/envsetup.sh && brunch bacon.
Just my two cents.

Exactly this.
Croot "change root (directory)" is unneeded when you're already in the root directoy.
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bacon
brunch bacon
is more than than enough. This will automatically allocate to cores as is needed and compiles the flashable zips. Silly to make the build with make -j*of cores* and then make otapackage when one command will do both for you.
On the grounds of repo sync, inputting it just like that "repo sync" runs on 4 threads with -c already which is more than fast enough for people.
The CM manifests include a sensible default configuration for repo, which we strongly suggest you use (i.e. don't add any options to sync). For reference, our default values are -j 4 and -c. The -j 4 part means that there will be four simultaneous threads/connections. If you experience problems syncing, you can lower this to -j 3 or -j 2. -c will ask repo to pull in only the current branch, instead of the entire CM history.

Thanks for the input. I had an understanding on what I was doing as far as envsetup.sh setting the environment for the commands for croot, breakfast, ect and that breakfast builds the make configuration somewhat like how configure on many other software. But I never took the time to go about and research as I wanted to make a working build and had issues using Debian. I thought that I will share what I did and just make a general resource for people to come to and get help with building as I only saw build instructions here and there in the Lollipop discussions.
I have incorporated your feedback into the instructions and I am testing the re-build now with your commands to verify that they work the way they are.
Thank you.

This is great, now there's no excuse for anyone!

[GUIDE] build lineageOS for titan in ubuntu 16.04 (or Debian 8) environment

LineageOS is in an official state, so that's for the ones with no patience, like me. I want my nightlies!! So DIY!!
This is not about flashing. Only how to build a ROM in an Ubuntu (meanwhile Debian 8) environment! So I have nothing to do with what you do with the finished Zip-file.
I am not responsible for your phone or your computer! Everything you read here resulting in taking action is at your own risk!
All credits go to all devs and supporters here on XDA, CyanogenMod / LineageOS for all their work they provide for free on github. We just take thankful the benefit!! Mainly LuK1337 provided the best hints and informations!

## additional folders to put the repos and binaries for building
## O.K. lets start the first try
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/
source build/envsetup.sh
Code:
repo sync
## Wait VERY LONG (really hours) and IF STUCKS, press "ctrl+C" and once more "repo sync" again.
## Then Extract proprietary blobs from the phone
## the device must be connected via USB cable (adb has to be functional) and go to the TITAN directory:
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/device/motorola/titan
## and
Code:
./extract-files.sh
## and maybe (only once before the first time of building) configure the CCACHE, which makes compiling much faster:
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
##WHEN ALL IS DONE
## we now can forget all steps before! ...Until we run in trouble - then look at the bottom or restart from scratch.
## In my experience now it shows, that the compiling processes recompiles and replaces "new synced packets" in the out-directory and leave the untouched untouched. So we can (nearly) always restart a broken build process... maybe the devs will VETO this. Some delete the whole out-directory every time - I think you can easily start over
## However, what we should do everytime before we start building is:
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/
source build/envsetup.sh
repo sync
## OKAY, lets build.... Nooooooo! Not yet!
## The most Important question now:
## "Do you want to have a ROOTED phone?" If yes, then you have to
Code:
export WITH_SU=true
## If you don't want root then just start with:
Code:
brunch titan
## Now you can wait again for hours and hopefully got finished

Now we have the proper solution given by kessaras in post #37 (thanks a lot!!):
the solution is not to rename the .mk or even remove that repo since we ignore it by renaming the .mk.
The proper solution is to edit the .mk and remove the 1st line that redirects to an error on purpose because its depricated (old).
This way, IF the .mk is needed during the build, it will get called.
If its not needed , then the compiler will just not use it.
At least thats my point of view here. We dont just remove things by renaming. We add them properly in case they r needed. If they are not needed then they wont be used.

## LAST OPTION:
When nothing works at all anymore you can delete the whole content of the out-folder:
Code:
rm -rf ~/android/lineageos/out/*
But then the first compiling last very long again...
## If the DISK runs full,
look into android/lineageos/out/target/product/titan/obj/PACKAGING/target_files_intermediates and delete the files...
## repo sync crashes with error:
Code:
repo sync -j1 -f --force-sync

Ah, great keep me informed, so I can make it better. Try myself from the scratch and have found some issues in the chronological order... is getting better. So look out for changes

For the Ninja error:

Has been asked for RAM usage. Battery life is as CM always have been - not the best, could be worse, so what?

@mankokoma Can I extract proprietary files even if I'm not using CM14.1?

Why not? As far as I can follow the scripts, the files will be extracted (in our case) to ~/android/lineageos/vendor/motorola/titan/proprietary/... (and maybe also to /android/lineageos/vendor/motorola/msm8226-common/proprietary...) I'm not sure if they are always the same for the different Android Versions, but I assume: Yes.

I put some more order in the guide and cleaned the chaos in case there is still interest in building LineageOS yourself. In fact preparing of the environment and the first setup and building of the ZIP lasts really (annoying) long but the following building processes are done within ONE and a HALF hours. So I enjoy immediately the last build when there has something good changed in the Repos: https://www.cmxlog.com/14.1/titan/
Have a lot of fun!

Did you managed to build Lineage OS 13.0?
I've tried to build Lineage OS 13.0 but unfortunately it didn't work.

No, I didn't. "Shoot from the hip": Downgrade Java to 1.7 first. Maybe it's easier to building up Ubuntu 14.x environment as I don't know about gcc or other libs-things for CM13

No, didn't have any efforts, though a dark notification panel would be nice.
I just take, what comes from the "normal" repositories.

@mankokoma any idea?
Makefile:795: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.

I'm sorry, have only very little time these days... can you provide some more lines before this error occurs?
Are you using Ubuntu or Debian?
I have read something about cleaning the "obj" folder could help

Hi, I am building klte version of CrdroidAndroid ( a LineageOS based ROM) on a ubuntu 16.04 LTS VM.
I am getting the following error. I am not sure what to do here. I have been cleaning the build folder and ccache and trying to build. I keep ending at this error. Any help to solve this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Did you try just "mka libart" to compile only the package with the error?
Usually then it's finishing without errors and you can brunch again.
