Archos GIT Repo - Gen8 Android Development

Hi to all the famous developers!
Archos made it's stuff for Gen 6 to 9 Devices OpenSource.
The Repo can be found here http://gitorious.org/archos. I hope this will make development easier for all of you. There are the sources for the ext. drivers and the kernel.
I'd like to see a full featured working Linux Distro like Bodhi and Kubuntu on my Archos 101IT...

If you want to take someone's complete and working kernel source and compile, the learning curve is not too high. If you want to take some source and mod it like the site that you linked, you are just going to have to take the time to learn a lot of stuff. I started my quest for Android and kernel knowledge about a year ago, and I'm not sure that I could work that out right now.
The first thing that you need to do is install Linux in a VM or dual-boot it. I love Windows. I use it everyday. But you are going to need linux for this. Sorry. I recommend Ubuntu or Debian. It will make other things easier for you too, like compiling AOSP and/or CM source, if you choose to do that at some point.
finaly some help!!
tks i realized iv have to use linux
but anyway il also be using someone elses custom kernel!
tks fr the help!
any other tips would help too!

1) You'll need an arm toolchain. I just sync CM source and use the one there but that's me.
2) the commands that I usually use are:
"export PATH=$PATH: path_to_toolchain"
"make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- -j4"
3) This page is actually where I started from many months ago - http://blog.coralic.nl/2009/10/25/how-to-compile-the-htc-hero-kernel/
4) If you look at the code in Android Builder (link in sig), you can get the idea too. I based that part of AB off of #3 above.
5) EasyDev (in sig too) also grabs kernel source and compiles it.

[Q] How to begin developing android ROM

I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself

Tizen you know ?

Have you see Tizen ?
is it possible to install on Archos gen9 ?

Sure, was already following the progress of Meego and Limo...
...unless Nokia and Intel dropped it... and now reborn as Tizen

Basically i would say, why not... it is based on the armel port of debian.
So have a look here first, what is included in the base system:
https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=pkg...3ad5a146d42f15d8c6bd2c99;hb=refs/heads/master
Stepping more into detail, you'll need to fulfill some hardware dependencies i guess.
So it would be the same to build a Debian/Ubuntu image for the Archos devices.
There had been some progress on these in the last weeks... maybe it's little to early for Tizen right now.
Maybe there will be a port for the Pandaboard, this could be a starting point then

[Request] Build from the source GUIDE

Hello there guys,
As we all know we only have 3? 4? developers for the HOX+ . And they are really doing all they can to help keep the phone upto date.
But as we all know they are all busy and can't update their roms that much any longer.
EDIT: Lloir already has a guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187266 but I don't think he covers how to fix camera and gps and stuff
So! Is it possible to make guide on how to compile the rom from the source? I know tombridden and lloir already made a one post guide on how to build some roms but it was too specific.
I now have an extra machine (a laptop) with 500gb free storage and ubuntu as the main OS. It's quite powerful too with 6gb RAM and i7. So Why not use it to help the community while others are busy? In the meantime I will look around for some guides for other phones but I don't think they will help that much.
And please include the answers to those questions if you make a guide:
1- What to do to fix camera/GPS/wifi/Data/sensors ?
2- What approach should I take when compiling a new ROM. For example: there are no developers for PACMAN , how will it differ during compiling between it and AOKP/CM/AOSP .
I am talking about a rom that wasn't approached by Lloir so he won't have the repos for them. What to do then?
Thanks a lot and I can't wait to help
@Lloir @tombriden @PippoX3 @mike1986. and any other developer out there.
you can start by looking at XDA-University
The reply is correct. All of us moved first steps studying at XDA University.
Anyway the case is more complex than others.
For this device there are really few developers. Other device have a lot of support from constructors, many dev and the team-work result in a lot of kernels/roms to flash for the final user.
If you wanna taste the happyness for build a rom, I'll send you a guide to setup your ubuntu, download the sources and build.
But in this case, where enrc2b is not officially support, the things are more difficult.
You must have a minimal practical with java, cpp, android and kernel code (if so).
For the moment I'm in trouble to build an AOKP 4.2.2 with new kernel. I haven't device to try, 'cause the hard is build&&try continuosly.
Not the fact to have a pc turned on for hours and hours.... and the eyes&&mind open for hours and hours... but the patience to continuously try time after time.
Now I am in a dead point... many users like have S2W enable on new CM kernel... but.... the kernel won't!
Thanks a lot anyway. Thanks to @Lloir, @tombriden, @maxwen and alls who's workin' for this device.
Stay tuned....

That's what i did already. I set up the periphals/kernel/device info GITs and now i am looking for the roms, I found CM and stuff but I can't find PURE AOSP , does that mean i must download it and upload it?
I also have Oracle java installed. Do I have to have open JDK?

Now that we begin to have a solid CM base, will possible to build at least CM for enrc2b for noobs too.
And eventually "port" device/kernel" parts to others platforms. So who like e.g. PA can do...
If you agree, I can paste my personal appoints to a guide, from client setup (Sun java don't works) to the build zip rom.
Updated and corrected to last KK.

[9.0] Building takes more time

Hi all,
Relatively am a new developer, trying to build aosp got everything figured out (I hope). Blindly following some instructions and got device tree from old nougat branch in google git. Building takes more time or just hangs not sure what is happening..
Before you guys reply like you can't do that or this, I just expect a polite answers.
Refer below!

Takes more thime then what?
Perhaps you should start with a known good configuration.

OK. But am having errors in several areas after doing make otapackage.
Is there any good device tree, vendor, kernel to start with?
Because the one I got is from master branch from google git and of course that is from a nougat version.
BTW I'm having a old laptop with i5 and 4Gigs of Ram. Probably that's why it is taking more time. Also running Ubuntu 18 on VM which is storing on my external hard disk of 2 TB connected through USB 3.0..
Am just curious and exploring things & trying to learn.
Thinking of giving up building 9.0 ...since I'm new to this.. May be proceeding with existing builds like 7.x.x from google or cm15.1 ..

4gb of ram is your culprit, I suggest 8gb or 16gb .
Building is RAM dependent , and it also requires a fast SSD. I don't build roms, but I read a lot ?
Using Google Cloud for building now. Its amazingly fast!!!!! :fingers-crossed:
My first lineage 15.1 build stuck on Google bootscreen..
Build is successful.
anybody knows how to get log or error?

If you want to build a ROM, you need to search and read a lot! This has been answered literally thousands of time on xda. Just use the search button and you would find that as a first result :fingers-crossed:
All the best for building the ROMs!

Do an -eng build, then you can debug the boot process via ADB.
Did you extract the vendor blobs, or add a repository containing them?

Vendor blobs I think I did, let me check once I reach home.
Thanks for advice on -eng build and by the way as nitin said I will check how to debug as well.
Been trying to build on Google Compute Engine VM... Crazy fast and best for those who are building for first time..
