Hi there,
Im trying to compile an AOSP build. My device (toshiba Thrive) has Honeycomb and there is no source for it, hence there is no public GIT with a device tree or source of any kind rather than the kernel source.
Question is, how can I add my device to the lunch menu if I don't have any files to put in there? Also, if I compile for a different device, i.e. Xoom since it had Tegra2 support built in, what are the chances of porting that just by swapping bins, libs, etc files, and so on?
I'm guessing that the kernel is compiled during the process based on those proprietary files..... correct?

Barnes & Nobles released the Source Code of Nook Tablet.
Here the direct link:
DOWNLOAD [Thanks to Entropy512]
Inside the folders:
Android
Kernel (2.6.35)
u-boot
x-loader​
I loaded all on my GitHub repository.
Sweet!!!!!! The releasing of the source marks great things for devices!
it's a good news!
I load all on my github. Check first post
I grabbed the source because I would like to compile wpa_supplicant with some changes to allow adhoc. But wpa_supplicant is not there. Obviously it is used so don't they have to include it in their source release? I wonder what else is missing...
But this doesn't mean that the bootloader is unlocked/unlockable, does it?

Please forgive my ignorance/lack of knowledge, but with the sc can't we just customize the stock os with tweaks and make it more tablet-ish until some serious magic is worked with our locked/signed boot loader?
Yes. There have already been a bunch of customizations made. There is a custom launcher on the way. BUT these tyes of things will take more time to develop than porting something already written.

I wonder if this can be tried on the Nook Color, sure it will be laggy because of the different speeds, but it may be possible since they are both running the same software....

Barnes and Noble has already announced that 1.4 will be made available for the Encore. With CM7 and MIUI already on the Encore, 1.4 is not really a focus for NookDevs.

Yeah, there is a lot of stuff missing from this "source code". Where are the wireless drivers? This "crap" is most certainly insufficient, but I'm sure their lawyers told them that it was going to be ok... after all, the copyright holders have to call them out on this... there's nothing _WE_ can do...

I really dislike the "chef" moniker when it comes to Android, since we are more of an open-source community. I think it implies a "file pusher" mentality. But then again, I am biased against proprietary versions of Android like Sense, so feel free to disregard all of this.
Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.
Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com
Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com
Platform Developer Guide: http://pdk.android.com

How Dexopt works and what are those odex files: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...bcd225e47b2cc7abb2a366112d3aeb45936;hb=master
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

I totally agree with this. O1 P500 Community could use a little cleaning up.
By the way, I have been wanting to learn actually developing Android but just can't find the resource to hook me up. Those links are just what I needed.
My opinion is that we can ask a kid politely till we die of old age,
and i'm not far by comparing what is happening here whit kids behavior.
Long story short moderators must do something, us users can relay do nothing,
if a user is like that, our posts will defensively not impress him and in most cases he will never read them..

Good for you that you find it now, if you tried searching the same earlier you would have learn how to develop in Android coz that link is almost 2 years old. Basically you wasted 2 years waiting for such links to come.
This thread is of no purpose, the theme roms and other roms will go in this section ONLY as its right now. No need to create threads like this one, to avoid warning.

Start searching. If you can't find the info yourself, then you probably aren't going to do much good as a kernel "dev". Also read up on GPL, they are getting stricter about it around here and as such there are rules as to what you can post ROM/kernel wise. I would avoid any kitchens, and do it all from scratch. I'll give you two links though.

That and a Ubuntu machine are all you need to get going. Just as a warning, takinga image of somebody's dev machine, and then pulling Leedroid's or Doomlord's source code and compiling is not building your own kernel. Start from scratch, google, search, learn and it's going to take a bit. I'd start with adding some extra CPU governor's if I were you, it's the easiest.
Oh and I'd wait more then two hours next time before bumping my own post, also google is a amazing thing. Did you try it.

Some very nice and helpfull thoughts there.
First steps r always hard. With proper help they can get much easyer. U prolly wouldnt be walking if u wouldnt recive a help from your parents.
Ioiwillioi asked for help. He said he is new in kernel developing. He said he is having some problems with seting up. I am sure he is mature enought he knows for web search.
Not all ppl like to build their knewladge base up from scratch with no help... After all we all benefit on other ppl knewladge and take shortcuts... If u dont feel same then burn all books, cut off internet and do all from scratch.
Google search has some disadvantages as well not onlly Google knows it all syndrome...
Now if u can help him with going faster in proces please do.
Help or stfu?
Fake edit: IoiWilliI that bump... u siriuslly could do it faster lol
ninja edit:
IoiWillloI is Sensles HC rom developer. I seen first post at his early atempts:
"With all due respect, but adding an APK, swapping some files etc., is not an useful contribution for the community. If you really want to add something, work on ICS instead We need more developers on that case, and it would be more useful than 10 HoneyComb ROMs"
Today some belive his rom is best HC rom for Flyer. Gl IoiWillioI with growing in kernel developing skilz.

Right another question ,
Once i have the Zimage what do i have to do with it, i know about building it into a boot.img but when i flash my kernel the cpu values etc don't appear to change :/ is it something i need to specify in the .config prior to building or is it something i do in the process of zimage to boot.img ?
That would all be in the config file. Are you using LeeDroid's CPU frequency tables? And if you started your source from scratch, did you add anything to Kconfig? I would really need to take a look at your source, do you have a Github? Or can you post exactly what you changed?

if crpalmer's kernel is based of elkay's which is based on dsb9938's and it pulls some source from a few others how do we keep them all straight? is crpalmer's based on the newest revisions of both other kernels? we need a comparison chart containing all the features of each kernel highlighting the differences and similarities of each.
by the wording in crpalmer's thread, assuming it's based on all the recent submits, then it would be the most recent update especially considering it uses linux 3.4.31 when the others use lower versions. (unless there is an even newer one i havn't read yet)

Saying "we need one" is just another way of asking if there is one. so, for clarity, is there a list of features comparing kernels? Maybe if I get a second between raising a family and curing cancer I'll teach myself github but as of now I don't know how. That's why I posted in the help section.

As others have mentioned everyone should have a link to their github or respective sources in their OPs.

But, if for some reason they're not providing their source please report the thread for violating GPL.
