This project is related to the porting of IWOP (Ingenic Wearable Open Platform) for OXY SmartWatches.
The platform IWOP is available here for download: http://iwop.ingenic.com/.
OXY is giving hardware development kit to each developer who is willing to contribute to the platform.
Attached to this thread there are architecture views, UX mocks and interaction design about the OXY custom ROM.
More details related to OXY are available here: http://www.oxytechs.com/
OXY ROM is composed by:
A watchface manager
Home launcher
Control manager app
Settings app
Apps navigator
A set of utilities apps delivered with the product

ROM Kernel: Linux 3.10.x
Based On: IWOP

Build the basic ROM
Unfortunately the information related to our ROM and SDK are still available only in Chinese, that's why with this project on XDA we are willing to make a translation of all the necessary resources needed to develop for OXY.
In this specific post I am going through the creation of a development environment using Ubuntu 12 LT which in my case is hosted on Windows Azure Asia Servers so that the download from GIT is faster and more reliable. At the end you will have the basic IWOP image built. IWOP is a the custom Android ROM built by Ingenic which runs on our Hardware.
If you are considering to join the Development Program in OXY or if you are considering to become a remunerated Developer for OXY, we will grant you an Ubuntu VM with the development environment ready to go and an OXY SmartWatch development kit, in order to be able to test your code on our hardware.

Resource location
The resources are available at the website of Ingenic, the official page which is visible from outside China and supported also by OXY also: http://iwop.ingenic.com/zh-cn/. We are actively working on translating the website in English-US so that in the future the IWOP SDK will be available in full English.
First step you need to download the REPO TOOL and the GIT structure. To make this job easier we have created a custom folder containing the entire repo which is available on Google Drive. We have also the full source code (~25GB) available for download in case you cannot download from our Chinese mirror.
In order to avoid unfriendly behaviors from competitors and in order to avoid to run out of bandwidth, the Google Drive is shared only with the active members of the OXY Development Program, just drop me a PVT if you are willing to join the project.
Once the REPO structure is downloaded and unzipped, you will end up with the following folder of almost 5GB in size:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now you are ready to compile ELF. ELF is a custom version of Android built by Ingenic to work on their CPU architecture and on their hardware. The ROM is quite stable and it has already a rich set of API available through their SDK to work directly on OXY SmartWatches and in the future with OXY SmartPhones.
Now run a sync with the local repository:
Code:
$ .repo/repo/repo sync --local-only
Second step, in order to download the full-source you need an SSH account from us.
Again, in order to avoid problems of bandwidth at this stage of the project we will grant SSH files and accounts only to users that are joining the dev program
Then you can run a sync against the Ingenic GIT repository and download the entire source code:
Code:
$ .repo/repo/repo init -u ssh://[account]@oxytechs.com:29418/elf/manifests.git -b release-4.3 -m elf.xml
And synchronize
Code:
$ .repo/repo/repo sync --current-branch --no-tags
Beware that if your machine is not in ASIA the first synchronization is very slow, the full source is between 20~24GB
Configure the Development Machine
In these steps we are using Eclipse to build our ROM, feel free to switch to Android Studio and if you have achieved the migration to Android Studio, feel free also to update this guide

Install the SDK 1.6
The correct SDK for ELF is available at this address: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-downloads-1637591.html
Then you have to register the SDK in your PATH using:
Code:
export JAVA_HOME=/work/soft/jdk1.6.0_33
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Finally you can verify that the SDK is correctly installed by typing:
Code:
$java -version
java version "1.6.0_33"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.8-b03, mixed mode)
Download the ELF SDK available on our Google Drive
Then register the SDK on your environment:
Code:
export ANDROID_HOME=~/work/soft/android-sdk-linux
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools
Download the Linux NDK available on our Google Drive
Then register the NDK:
Code:
export NDK_HOME=~/work/soft/android-ndk-r10
export PATH=$PATH:$NDK_HOME
Prepare Ubuntu for Build Android
If you machine is new and you never built Android SDK before, you need to install also these packages in the correct order and Do not upgrade these packages
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Build
Finally you can build ELF for OXY using the following commands:
SQUARE
Code:
./build/smk.sh --preset=aw808_v11_wisesquare_iwop
ROUND
Code:
./build/smk.sh --preset=aw808_v11_naturalround_iwop
You will end up with the following files which are the ELF ROM for OXY.
u-boot-with-spl-mbr-gpt.bin、 boot.img、 system.img、 recovery.img
Now you are ready to: customize the ROM, customize the Home launcher, create new apps for OXY
In the next post we will write the basics of how to create an Android App for OXY SmartWatch and how to upload the app on our Cloud using REST
If porting watches and creating the faces are well documented and intuitive you just found yourself a watchface designer.

Hi @kuronosan, yes very intuitive and almost identical to Android WEAR API, with a slightly little change in your code you can port a WEAR watchface into a OXY watchface with the big advantage that we support also Fragments and Activities. Probably within a week or two we will publish "how to make a watchface". We are actively working now on completing the documentation to setup your development environment. When this is done we will start with the tutorial series and with the conversion of the ELF Chinese documentation into English
Hmm. Now to save up capital.
I've since left public development, especially on xda, but am more than willing to do a little tuning/optimization and security audits for folks like I did on the Omate TrueSmart and InWatch Z. Like kuronosan, need to save up for a watch as I'd also do case design analysis and testing.
@Lokifish Marz you and some other guys here are giving to us a lot of positive and helpful feedbacks. For sure during the PRE-SALE campaign you will be delighted with one of our model of your choice for free, I am not even considering to charge somebody who is giving to us valuable knowledge and share experience for free, it's not my way of working
If there's anyone who knows watches, it's him.
I want to help... you have a PVT message.
@corvus Found it, I am writing you an e-mail now.
Happy to have you on board.
Guys I am here with some interesting updates.
We have finally released Android 5.1.1 and we are using Atlassian BitBucket as our Source repository.
The repository is available here: https://bitbucket.org/oxy-team/elf-os
In the next days we will provide a set of Tutorials for:
Get an Atlassian Developer Account
Setup your Build Environment
Download the Source Code
Build ELF OS ROM
Customize the Kernel of ELF OS
Also, we are talking with Amazon AWS to setup some CI servers so that when you check-in some changes our Cloud mechanism will build a new ROM for you, so that you don't need to wait until your dev machine is done with the build.
We are going to setup multiple branches, the official will be of course locked down but there will be a special branch for XDA and every time we find valuable commits we will merge them into the official ROM and mention the developer who made it possible.
For the most valuable contributors we are going to deliver a development kit:

I am planning to provide and maintain a virtual application (virtual box) for developing Android Apps and I'd like to get some input before starting.
I plan the appliance to be linux and I am looking for feedback on:
Distro: what yould be your favorite (lightweight) distro
Distribution: ideas on the best way to distribute it (torrent, virtual appliance directory, download)
Toolset: what would you like to see besides Eclipse, Java, Android SDK, git, svn, gimp

That would be pretty good, however, note that there are other tools such as App Inventor that provides a very intuitive interface for developing android apps without any programming.

That is not the segment that I am adressing. What I aim at is providing a complete, installed and configured enviroment for people wanting to develop for android and who do not have the time to set up the enviroment, install the USB drivers etc.

Interesting concept. I'm not sure if it suits my needs but I'll have a look at it for other projects
nice idea
Nice idea, would make life easy for many budding developers
I would suggest
Distro: Linux Mint
Distribution: Torrents / dev-host, you have 50 Gb now
Toolset: scripts to sign and zipalign APK's, some basic ANT scripts would do

Hi
This is a great initiative you've got here.
I've download all the files but the splitted files are in a Linux format (_aa _ab ...) and to get it working on Windows I had to rename them as .001 .002 as I haven't found any software capable of this.
And one quick question, why have you

Thanks for the feedback!
I reverted because the in-place upgrade failed so that was too much for 1.1. I will of course move to the most recent mint release for 2.0 but didn't put that as a priority as this virtual appliance is more about development capabilities than about having a sexy linux distro.
Hello,
I just started the Virtual Appliance, The internet connection is working as I'm able to browse the web but I'm unable to install new language.
I tried different network settings but issue remains ... anyone ?
Just tried to ping the repositery, and it's working
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ ping 91.189.92.201
PING 91.189.92.201 (91.189.92.201) 56(84) bytes of data.

It looks like french packages are not mirrored on all archives, or something is broken. You could try changing the archive location (from the update manager options).

I tried two different French servers but it doesn't work either.
Anyway it's not really important cause I managed to change the keyboard layout (AZERTY).

Well since you made it a binary and not a script, could you provide a detailed spec of what is actually changed? I like to know what an operation is modifying before trying it out on my phone, with script based mods this is easy but since this is compiled code..

Let me make this clear; This project is meant for developers who are willing to pitch in and help create a succesful build for Android L. This is an early take on the Android L Platform and it WILL have a LOT of Bugs. If you are willing to help out and is someone who isn't a noob in the development sector, please feel free to continue. (If you are a noob, I do not condone you reading on but all I ask is that you do not request assistance for small tiny things that can be self learnt through Google)
What is this project about?
This project aims to continue to improve the Android L source code that is optimized for the Xperia SP. The code, which will be shown later, is in an experimental stage and I am not responsible for any bricked devices that are generated from MY CODE. It is your choice and liberty to try it out. With the code shown, developers can pitch in to improve it and fix many small to even major things that I might have missed.
More info....
The Code can be found here: https://github.com/Furrydaus/huashan_lollipop
Fork or Clone, its all up to you, just be sure to help out by submitting changes to the repo.
Repo Info: Android L - Initial Build. Codes built from AOSP for ARM Devices
Estimated Size: 14GB+
Object Count: 51242+
Object Type: Proprietary Files, Includes things from the system.img to the folders that are filled with all the proper apks
About: Just the proprietary files that have been generated through source building. Requires major overhaul to actually be optimized for the device.
Discuss more by replying. Do be warned that this code has 50% chance of working. It worked on my emulator but not quite sure about whether it'll run on my device (Need my phone for this week and have no time to reflash and stuff)
Good luck developing! Be sure to check in the git once in a while and sync to obtain the latest changes!

Let me make this clear; This project is meant for developers who are willing to pitch in and help create a succesful build for Android L. This is an early take on the Android L Platform and it WILL have a LOT of Bugs. If you are willing to help out and is someone who isn't a noob in the development sector, please feel free to continue. (If you are a noob, I do not condone you reading on but all I ask is that you do not request assistance for small tiny things that can be self learnt through Google)
What is this project about?
This project aims to continue to improve the Android L source code that is optimized for the Xperia SP. The code, which will be shown later, is in an experimental stage and I am not responsible for any bricked devices that are generated from MY CODE. It is your choice and liberty to try it out. With the code shown, developers can pitch in to improve it and fix many small to even major things that I might have missed.
More info....
The Code can be found here: https://github.com/Furrydaus/huashan_lollipop
Fork or Clone, its all up to you, just be sure to help out by submitting changes to the repo.
Repo Info: Android L - Initial Build. Codes built from AOSP for ARM Devices
Estimated Size: 14GB+
Object Count: 51242+
Object Type: Proprietary Files, Includes things from the system.img to the folders that are filled with all the proper apks
About: Just the proprietary files that have been generated through source building. Requires major overhaul to actually be optimized for the device.
Discuss more by replying. Do be warned that this code has 50% chance of working. It worked on my emulator but not quite sure about whether it'll run on my device (Need my phone for this week and have no time to reflash and stuff)
Good luck developing! Be sure to check in the git once in a while and sync to obtain the latest changes!

What about LBL? Mby do it at begining?
Tapatalked via Xperia SP
Just some loose things:
1. We need CAF code to be released and integrated in the sources by CM maintainers. CyanogenMod is compilable now, but only with Nexus devices and others that have AOSP kernels. Ofc, if we wanted to use AOSP code, transition from CAF to AOSP isn't easy(maybe it's even impossible). So yeah, we have to wait.
2. One step that we could do before working on L - testing encryption. If it's working, there's a big chance that we are set with 5.0. Could someone backup everything(internal storage also counts) and test this out? Just backup EVERYTHING, then go to Settings->Security->Encrypt your device.
3. Most of the changes are on the user-device interaction layer - chance of getting this working on LBL skyrockets We only have to confirm that ART and encryption work(and we can be sure that ART works).
4. Btw, one more thing about LBL - I don't really know how CAF names their repos, but I assume that the master branch is now for Lollipop. If it is, we don't even have to rewrite the specific patches.

In cyanogenmod source, here is a new CAF for CM12 : http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/s...nMod/android+branch:cm-12.0+topic:caf-hal,n,z
I'm having high hopes for a functional build of android 5.0 for the XSP! The Xperia L just got a reasonably stable build of android 5.0
INTRODUCTION
This is a tool for those who want to start learning how to make custom ROMs, or who just want to save some time with their ROM customization.
Basic fundamental is to make your life easier, and, at the same time, help you learn about the Android OS.
The kitchen will not automatically turn you into a developer. You are not programming anything or building a ROM from the ground up. The kitchen merely presents a user-friendly interface to hide all the rough details. However, this may be the push that gets you into development in the future.
No command lines nothing required to operate this kitchen, just enter options as "1" or '2', however you many need some knowledge about Android tree (ROM files)
Here is a quick peek of how this kitchen appears.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE : This kitchen is still a WIP but does a pretty decent job if it comes to modding. All coding has been done in 72 hours up straight with less or no sleep by me only. I warn you before hand if you have no idea what ROM is or most importantly what ANDROID is kindly use Google as your teacher rather than spamming this thread. No useless questions will be entertained.
DEVELOPERS/USERS GOOD WITH WINDOWS SCRIPTING (BATCH) PLEASE CLICK HERE
Supported devices
As I said it's the first release as it's still a WIP but all basic commands like rooting, extracting boot.img etc are supported. So technically it's a universal kitchen.
DOWNLOAD KITCHEN
Below is the download link to kitchen
MOD EDIT: REMOVED
Although critics never stay back yet some of you might like my work and want this kitchen to be supported and go on and on. Though this kitchen is free but still kindly consider donating as it helps both of us, me getting resources and you ending up in my credit section and being the most important part of the development :angel:

SETTING UP KITCHEN
Download the kitchen and extract it your core C:\ directory ONLY! or it won't work and just execute Kitchen.bat to begin
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q) Why does Tyrancy kitchen closes automatically everytime after I choose this option(s)?
Ans) Two reasons - (a) You have spaces in your username like "Tech N You" .. Solution is create a new account with single line username like "Admin"
(b) You have not extracted it in core C:\drive eg. "C:\Tech N You\kitchen" this is wrong C:\Tech N You\kitchen it should be "C:\Kitchen"
If you did both right then it's a code fault, let me know which option it does so
Q) Do I need anything else in order to run this kitchen?
Ans) You need only JAVA that too in order to deodex your ROM. Make sure you use latest version of java and it is defined in your system path.
Q) I get prompts like "C:\Kitchen\WORKING_FOLDER\blabla is a file or directory". What to do?
Ans) Come on people be smart. You know what to do. Read it carefully it has the answer.
Q) I want this feature to be added, where should I inform you?
Ans) Here! Right in this thread just tag me in your reply! All suggestions welcome! Open to all kind of suggestion!

I am really sorry for the confusion sir I assumed your project was open-source so it could be modified.
Well it is more like dsixda (the layout) . I assure you that no coding was copied from your kitchen. I coded every ounce of it myself.
I only used your files and for that I added your name in credits.
Again really sorry for the confusion.
Does it deodex LP ?
@lucky_sidhu I will add lollipop support in upcoming updates please stay tuned
