[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} [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.

reserved for future use.

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.

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.

[GUIDE] Build CM13 from source for the Z5/Z5C/Z5P

The Sony-Kitakami dev team is glad to announce a guide on how to build CM13 or any CM13 based ROM for the entire Z5- series
Note: If you plan to release a ROM using our sources then credits aren't required, however we would deffinately appriciate it very much!
Before we get started
What you need
Any of our supported devices
A PC that is capable of running linux
An Internet connection
And lots of lots of patience
Getting started
Setting up Linux
To be able to build a ROM fully from source a Linux based operating system is required. This is due to the fact that windows is unable to compile the android source code due to lacking tools/libaries. After all you're compiling Linux on Linux (Because android is Linux). We strongly recommend to have AT LEAST 50 GB of space for Ubuntu!!!
Please be aware that this guide is target audiences with Ubuntu specifically and so may not work on other distros. Because of this we prefer ubuntu for everyone that is coming from windows.
Because this guide isn't about how to install ubuntu, I'll let this guide explain all for you : http://www.linuxtechi.com/ubuntu-15-10-desktop-installation-guide/
Installing the required packages
We will start off by downloading openjdk 7 (Note: Open JDK 8 isn't supported by CM yet).
Please open the terminal and enter or copy paste the following :
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
After entering the password (Note: you won't be able to see any output when typing the password) hit enter and then type "y" and hit enter again.
Once this is completed we will download the required packages. Please copy paste the following into your terminal :
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386
lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache
libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip maven schedtool
You may have to enter your password again after hitting enter. Once that is done enter "y" again and hit enter again.
Additionally you can set up ccache by entering the following into the terminal :
Code:
echo 'export USE_CCACHE=1' >> ~/.bashrc
after this has been done, restart your PC.
Then we will set up git. Replace "Your name" with your name and "[email protected]" with your email :
Code:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Now we will need to set up the repo tool. Copy the following into the terminal:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && PATH=~/bin:$PATH && echo 'PATH=~/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc && curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Guides
CyanogenMod 13
Getting the CM13 source
Start out by making a directory called cm13 in your home dir by running the following command :
Code:
mkdir ~/cm13/
Now we will initialize the CM13 repository by entering the following in your terminal :
Code:
cd ~/cm13/ && repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
We are now coming to the worst part and that is downloading the entire 20GB big CM13 source code. To sync the source code, run the following command :
Code:
repo sync
And now wait.... and wait..... and wait....... until it's done
Getting the Z5/Z5C/Z5P source
To clone the device specific source code we'll have to introduce you to some of the codenames as those are used for simplifying reasons when building from source
Code:
NAME CODENAME
Sony Xperia Z5 sumire
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact suzuran
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium satsuki
We will start off by cloning the appropriate manifests for your device. Please enter the following and make sure to replace yourdevicecodename with your device codename :
Code:
cd ~/cm13/ && git clone https://github.com/Sony-Kitakami/android_.repo_local_manifests.git -b cm-13.0-yourdevicecodename .repo/local_manifests
Now we will sync our device specific source like this :
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
This could again take some time depending on your connection as the kernel source is quite heavy.
Building the ROM
We will now get to the big part, which is compiling. Note this could take from 1 hour to more than 10 hours depending on how good your PC is. Replace yourdevicecodename with your targeted device codename.
Please copy the following to your terminal line by line
Code:
cd ~/cm13/
cd .repo/local_manifests/ && git pull && cd ../.. && repo sync --force-sync
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
cm_yourdevicecodename-userdebug
mka clobber
mka bacon
After a long time of waiting you should be done and your CyanogenMod package should be located in home/cm13/out/target/product/yourdevicecodename/
Congratulations! You have now build your very own CM13 ROM from source!
CyanogenMod 13 based ROMs
If you are planning to build a CM13 based or similar ROM (Bliss Pop, RR, Slim etc.), we're expecting you to be a more advanced user. As much as we would like to give a strict guide, we simply can't cover all as there are always differences between each and every ROM.
You will have to start off by downloading the ROM source. Again this should be similar to CM but the git links are different.
Ex:
Code:
RR = repo init -u [url]https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest.git[/url] -b marshmallow
Bliss = repo init -u [url]https://github.com/BlissRoms/platform_manifest.git[/url] -b mm6.0
and much more. Most of them can be found on the ROMs official git team under the platform_manifest repo.
Here is where things get hard. You will have to edit our manifests and adjust them to work with your target ROM. This is nearly impossible to explain as each ROM contains different repos that may overlap with the CM ones or it may lack repos that you're trying to remove. In other words, you will need to learn how to use the local manifests. A nice guide exists here https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_Using_manifests
Once this is done you will have to adjust your device tree to work with your specific ROM. Again this is always different. The best way to learn is to compare a CM tree with a tree from a different ROM
Ex:
Samsung Galaxy S5 mini tree for CyanogenMod : https://github.com/cm-3470/android_device_samsung_kminilte
Samsugn Galaxy S5 mini tree for BlissPop : https://github.com/cm-3470/android_device_samsung_kminilte/tree/bosp-6
The main differences are the cm.mk or device.mk files etc.
Here is a commit that show the transfer from CM to Bliss Pop which usually isn't very hard
https://github.com/cm-3470/android_...mmit/5e902e7dd228c6804b2735af9a96ea02969aa2cf
Once this is completed you can run your build and release it!

Thanks for posting the guide
I followed the steps, but got stuck at the command: "cd ~/cm13/ && git clone [email protected]:Sony-Kitakami/android_.repo_local_manifests.git -b cm-13.0-sumire"
It returned this to me:
Cloning into 'android_.repo_local_manifests'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
EDIT: Never mind, I investigated, and found out that I had to generate an SSH key and link that to my GitHub account. If anyone needs help with this, I used this guide: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-an-ssh-key/

Hey, sorry for that. I had git set to ssh like and forgot that they require a keygen. I've changed it to https://github.com/Sony-Kitakami/android_.repo_local_manifests.git -b cm-13.0-yourdevicecodename so it no longer needs a key

Actually, is you are building CM13 and using Ubuntu 14.04 or up, you just need to type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make zlib1g-dev:i386 zip

Okay, I hit another bump. When I type: "cd .repo/local_manifests/ && git pull && cd ../.. && repo sync --force-sync"
It returns:
bash: cd: .repo/local_manifests/: No such file or directory

It doesn't work for me with v4, or v5a
Using the guide posted here, nothing changed only updated to v5a manually.
I haven't bothered to look through the log yet, bur it says camera hardware inaccessible or something like that I forget the exact wording. With v4 and v5a, I even downloaded the source again to make sure it wasn't a problem on my end.
I'll try and have a proper look tomorrow

Yeah, we kinda apologize for that. My linux environment has broken hard after upgrading to ubloatu, i mean Ubuntu 16.04... I'm busy updating to debian now, and will most likely stick with debian jessie as sid and stretch ended in an huge catastrophy. Thanks to @moonbutt74 for not warning me. (<- Only a joke, he actually predictied that sid will be a catastrophy but I didn't listen cuz that's me). I'll also most likely need to update the guide too as we no longer prefer/recommend ubuntu 16.04

It doesn't work for me with v4, or v5a
Using the guide posted here, nothing changed only updated to v5a manually.
I haven't bothered to look through the log yet, bur it says camera hardware inaccessible or something like that I forget the exact wording. With v4 and v5a, I even downloaded the source again to make sure it wasn't a problem on my end.
I'll try and have a proper look tomorrow

@celderic
did you do any modifications to the repos ?
If not did the kernel built with the ROM work for you ?
Thanks
edit:
v04 and v05a binary blobs are the same for us (Kitakami)
Changes in v05a was for kanuti, rhine, shinano and yukon

Sorry been on holiday not had time to reply on here, oh I didn't realise they where the same for our device.
I didn't modify the repos, and yes the stock cm kernel booted fine.

openjdk-7 isnt available under ubuntu 16.04. Is 8 or 9 supported yet or do I have to manually install v7?

Building Android for some devices (Huawei Y6 - msm8909 - in this Guide)

Today i share my knowledge to setup and build lineageos-7 for the Huawei Y6.
First of all we need to install some things.
Run these commands with root or sudo.
Code:
apt-get install -y bison build-essential curl flex git gnupg gperf libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop maven openjdk-8-jdk pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline6-dev lib32z1-dev ccache rsync tig sudo imagemagick android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot bc bsdmainutils file screen bash-completion wget nano
This one works well for Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.
After that create a user with that you like to build android and log in with that user.
You need to run the following command after login:
HTML:
mkdir ~/bin && cd ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > repo && chmod a+x repo && cd
After that you should configure git. For me it is:
HTML:
git config --global user.name "username" && git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Now you can start to fetch the sources.:
HTML:
mkdir lineageos-7.1 && cd lineageos-7.1 && repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1 && repo sync
That will set up up a fresh source for lineageos-7.1 at all. Everything from now is device specific.
First we should create the basic folders for our device. I always fetch the sources for the huawei cherry to get the deps.:
HTML:
cd ~/lineageos-7.1 && . build/envsetup.sh
That will set up the lineageos build env.
Next command:
HTML:
breakfast cherry
That will fetch some sources for qcom devices.
Now we need to get the files to build lineageos-7.1 for our huawei y6.
HTML:
cd ~/lineageos-7.1/kernel/huawei && git clone https://github.com/giorgio130/android_kernel_huawei_msm8916.git msm8908 -b cm-14.1 && cd ~/lineageos-7.1/devices/huawei && git clone https://github.com/giorgio130/android_device_huawei_scale.git scale -b cm-14.1 && git clone https://github.com/giorgio130/android_device_huawei_msm8909-common.git msm8909-common -b cm-14.1 && git clone https://github.com/giorgio130/proprietary_vendor_huawei.git ~/lineageos-7.1/vendor/huawei -b cm-14.1
That was a simple Do that after that command quene. Nothing special for linux users.
If you got everything at the right place, please edit:
lineageos-14.1/device/huawei/msm8909-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk
and change:
HTML:
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/huawei/msm8916
to:
HTML:
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/huawei/msm8909
Now we should be ready to go. Go back to the base folder and run:
HTML:
. build/envsetup.sh && export WITH_SU=true && brunch lineage_scale-userdebug
With that commands everybody should be able to build and run LineageOs for the Huawei Y6 and other devices. It is the same with only other devices.
Step 1.
HTML:
. build/envsetup.sh
will source up the LineageOS.
Step 2.
HTML:
export WITH_SU=true
will enable full root access inside the finished build.
Step 3.
HTML:
brunch lineage_scale-userdebug
will build a flashable zip file for the Huawei Y6 aka Huawei Scale.
HTML:
make clean && make clobber
will clean up your whole environment before or after you compiled Android. You need to run step 1, 2, and 3 again after you run this or changed something.
Edit 1: Moved text to code.
Edit 2: Added some stuff.
Edit 3: Cleanup

@Runner85sx thank a lot, was looking for such tutorial.
On the lineage for y6 scl l01 the rotation is reverse. Can please guide me how to solve it.
Ps am not a dev but want to learn, for can manage to do minor changes

Thanks a lot! Hope to see new developers get into this device. Thanks

I'm not sure why you have this problem. My device is working still well. I built new flashable zips and tested them. Everything okay till now here with an debranded Vodafone Huawei Y6 SCL-L01.
So you may you/me have a problem with DTS/DTB.

Can I use this to build AOSP for Y6?

Yes. You only need to modify some files inside device/huawei/msm8909-common and device/huawei/scale

Is it posible to make cm 11 for y6?

I'm not an advanced developer but, if Runner85sx bring android 7 to our device, You'll be able to change some files and create older version (cm 11), but the only problem is, unfortunately there's a chance that drivers would have some problems or/and simply not work.

Just a stupid question... Can you tell me what files I need to edit to make it work on AOSP? I want to compile the source without compiling the kernel and using the stock one
thanks

How?
Whether other devices can use this to build a custom kernel and use this kernel source

@Runner85sx thank you... I feel so empowered.... now trying to figure out how to deal with the camera. Any idea where I must start, cause I am beginning to miss my selfies

You are welcome.
I think the right place to start is the source code of the camera driver.

hi dear @Runner85sx thanks for your guide and work on this device... :fingers-crossed:
I have try this guide on desktop without problems...
but on my pi3 with berryboot last version and ubuntu mate 16.04 after the command
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y bison build-essential curl flex git gnupg gperf libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop maven openjdk-8-jdk pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline6-dev lib32z1-dev ccache rsync tig sudo imagemagick android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot bc bsdmainutils file screen bash-completion wget nano
i have this problem after Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Code:

I have read you use pi 3 to built android I can know your set up or a solution to my error? Thanks :laugh:

Is there like a program or something that I can use to learn how to code? Cause I'm interested in learning but I don't know where to start and all of what you posted did not make any sense to me.

Hello XDA Community! I'm building my first custom ROM and I have a question: Is it required to flash the ROM on the device or I can do something familiar to 'fastboot boot' style?
EDIT: And one more question: I'm making cm10 rom and will it work when I port our tree to this rom (kernel version etc)
EDIT 2: I have a problem while porting because cm10 didn't find cherry when typing breakfast cherry. Any Ideas?

Won't compile
Thank you Runner85sx so much for this comprehensive quick start guide. This is just what this community is missing.
I have changed in the following text all the backslashes to slashes in order for the forum to let me post. It thinks the paths are links and blocks my post as a new user. Ridiculous.
I run up to some issues executing the commands.
Firstly the 7th command I think should be:
HTML:
cd ~\lineageos-7.1\device\huawei
instead of:
HTML:
cd ~\lineageos-7.1\devices\huawei
Secondly the file that needs editing:
HTML:
~\lineageos-14.1\device\huawei\msm8909-common\BoardConfigCommon.mk
should be:
HTML:
~\lineageos-7.1\device\huawei\msm8909-common\BoardConfigCommon.mk
And lastly the last command
HTML:
brunch lineage_scale-userdebug
failed with the following output:
HTML:
including vendor\cm\vendorsetup.sh
build\core\product_config.mk:254: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device\huawei\scale\lineage.mk]]: "device\cyanogen\msm8909-common\msm8909.mk" does not exist. Stop.

Repository for scale not found in the LineageOS Github repository list. If this is in error, you may need to manually add it to your local_manifests\roomservice.xml.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'lineage_scale'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
complaining that the directory "cyanogen" does not contain a directory called "msm8909-common", so I copied it from "~\lineageos-7.1\device\huawei\msm8909-common" (probably a stupid thing to do, but it was a quick try).
Then I had some compiling activity but unfortunately ended with the following output:
HTML:
Checking build tools versions...
build\core\base_rules.mk:183: *** device\huawei\msm8909-common\camera\QCamera2\HAL: MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.camera.msm8909 already defined by device\cyanogen\msm8909-common\camera\QCamera2\HAL.

make: Leaving directory '\home\hlucid\lineageos-7.1'

Does anybody have a clue of what is wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
