After I have read this...
Can someone please post more about creation/compile time?
How to increase Speed of compile?
Only PC Hardware?
Compiler?
Linux or Win as OS for Compiler?
Thanx in advance.

I think that how faster the CPU how faster it builds, and I think that more ram also decrease build time? in combo with CPU
and your internet download speed, you must download files

There are hundreds of tutorials howto compile kernel/platform around on XDA. Really it's just matter of using Search.
Building up kernel can take around 5min~2h, building platform can take around 30min~8hours. Everything depends on amount of RAM and CPU cores u got, I'm building up kernel in around 10minutes and platform in about 1h 30mins, got some laptop intel i7 + 4GB RAM. There's way to speedup platform compilation using CCACHE, but it costs alot of disk space.
Compiling is impossible under Windows, even with Cygwin it would be hard to achieve. I'd recommend Ubuntu 10 or 11 (rather avoid 12). Mac will do too.

I have not sooo much time for research by my self...
So I thought if we have soo many users in wait status...
They could translate for me in easy words...
Anyway... why not make Workshop for S8500 ...
If for each Android handset many Tutorails exists...
Then easier copy and paste and replace I9000 by S8500 if mandatory...
Not our main Devs...
I mean our enthusiastic waiters...
We have more then 10 users in this Android section... I hope...

Many people, including me are experiencing various issues in Ub 12. These are usually fixable simple way but always... it's annyoing.

I would recommend you to use Ubuntu 11.
And download Code Sourcery 2009 which is mandatory for this badadroid project.
And here is a pretty good guide for you,
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186409
That tutorial includes the guide to install Ubuntu also.
If you get stuck anywhere post here or just PM me, i will try to do my best

A note on CodeSourcery2009 - it also isn't fully compatibile with our sourcetree and may fail during compiling WLAN drivers. I switched to AOSP toolchain lately and it works like charm. HOWTO there

I think that you are asking too much and maybe it is time to make the guide yourself . For some devices you can find this kind of "spoon fed" guide, but for most devices you have to figure out how to do most of this your self. The spoon feeding guides can be really helpful depending on how close they are to your own device, but you will actually have to search for them. Another great place to start is xda-university. It took me a few minutes to find this: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source Perhaps this is would be a good place to start....

Need 64bits Linux

Maybe this would help http://source.android.com/source/building.html

You can download the sources but you have to understand how local_manifest.xml does it
But why to bother doing that while you can't compile on windows ?!
The sources downloaded are compressed already....just try to follow the TUT and you will find out that there is .repo folder with compressed sources downloaded
I guess i am just too noobish to Linux and don't understand how to fix my sources yet
Currently my main issue is time :S....I've to study to pass this year :S

[DEVELOPEMENT] Cyanogen

Hey guys
First of all: I'm not good in develop! But i want to start with CM porting to our Gen8
I just get some infos from chulri how to port CM.
What have to be do:
Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
Extract some Gen8 Binaries
Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
I started a Thread at the CM Forum about this I'll report here..
( http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24048-cm-port-to-archos-gen8/ )
Extract some Gen8 Binaries
I hope chulri will answere me soon so i can do this
Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
This have to be done from a guy who has Kernel Knowledge! Anyone?
If anyone's interested i could send a link with an how to, i've found onthe web
Everybody is invited to help to getting this Project started!
Greetz,
Lenn
I'm not a great porter, but I've shadowed a lot of porting with the cm roms, I'll try to do my part if you host the project on something like github(both kernel and rom). I also have a little bit of kernel development experience.

I think he mean the step of porting CM7 to gen8 is:
1.Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
2.Extract some Gen8 Binaries
3.Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
so, step 1 should be "1.Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8"..

Oh, well I've never really created a build script before but there are plenty of guides instructing on how to do so.
Extracting the binaries usually consists of adb pulling all of the binaries required for the complication that are proprietary/closed source. I suppose you could just copy/paste them to your sdcard then copy to a computer if adb weren't around but that's just extra work.
As to which binaries we need, I'm not sure yet but we can cross that bridge in a bit.
To make the build script, we should probably analyze other build scripts for other devices and the directories for them.
This thread might aid in development, I doubt they have the build scripts for archos but they at least have examples in the program I'm sure and other tools to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969266
Also for whoever attempts to get a functional kernel for cm7 this page may be useful(or possibly me just making sure I read this later)

Okey, i know this Thread, its great except the fact it don't support Archos ^^
I'll send a message at these guys about archos devices and parallels about our gen8 devices ad supported devices, so we could create our own script to do it from scratch like they've do
But i now i go to bed^^
To start with build scripts I would recommend to find a device - which is supported by CM, if there even is one - which has similiar hardware as the Archos Gen8 series and start from there instead to start from scratch.
If there is no such similiar device series you unfortunately would have to start from scratch

there is no device similar to our archos that is supported
But is it possible to "mix" it?
Like:
Cpu - from a phone that has Arm Cortex A8

we put together all parts
woukd that be possible?
Yes, CPU might be the most important common part, then WiFi/BT, DSP (for hardware acceleration of videos), Sound, Touchscreen and in the end USB host port.

I haven't found anything too, but I did some research in the beginning of this year: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...nMod_for_Sholes#Prepare_the_Build_Environment
After installing the repository on the build machine, you have all the build scripts from other devices and can copy and adapt them.

Not sure what you are asking. For the sdk tools, do you mean the android sdk? If so, follow the instructions on the sdk page. For the images, I assume you mean the boot.img and possibly system.img. You do not open these. If you have a system.img, that means you probably have a shipped rom. Use the kitchen to create working folder from rom, and choose this. It should auto extract the system partition. As for the boot.img, you don't generally need to extract this, but there is an option in the advanced settings of the kitchen. You can change your rom's kernel in the boot.img.

Hey Guys!
First of all a bit of encouragement. The android kitchen sure as hell does not turn you into a rom developer. I decided i wanted to use the kitchen just over 2 weeks ago and run ubuntu in a virtual window. From then I decided I did not like windows anymore so installed linux as my main os and had to learn that (trust me getting the graphics card to work was a chore) I finally got the kitchen working tonight and decided to sign up to xda. Even with my limited knowledge I have been able to help someone on here tonight. Read Read Read and ask questions if you can not find the right answers on the forum. Research pays off eventually. (I now softmod nintendo wiis professionally from learning off a forum!!!!) Remember everyone has to start somewhere even if you are a noob and don't get disheartened if someone says you should have read this this and this. As long as you learn from ur mistake I'm sure people wont mind too much.

aha... so let me understand i need ubuntu?

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

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.

What version of Linux are you running? Are you running Ubuntu? I never had much luck using the Android Kitchen in a virtual environment for some reason. When I installed Ubuntu as my main OS, however, that made all the difference. From there you'll also need to make sure you have the Java Developers Kit (JDK) installed or at least open-jdk (Open source alternative) installed in order to run the Android Kitchen or the SDK for that matter.
There's a really good tutorial on how to set up the SDK on Ubuntu 10.10 or Ubuntu 11.04 which is what I had used to set up the SDK on linux for the first time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
I prefer 10.10 just because I'm not huge on Ubuntu's newer Unity interface and my old laptop seems to run 10.10 a lot better than 11.04 or 11.10 but that's another story.
Once you have the SDK setup, you can then run the kitchen accordingly.
I use a tool called Android Utility by tommytomatoe which is essentially a collection of tools for creating custom ROMs, editing apk's, etc. It just happens to also include dsixda's kitchen which is a nice plus. You can download that here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3303-utility-android-utility-apktooldex2jarsmalimoremac-linuxoct09-2011/
Hope this helps. Good luck, dood!
**Edit** My bad... There's also a thread for Android Utility on XDA also....

Help to compile CM9!

Hi all! I'm trying to compile the CM9 for optimus one but I don't understand how to do it! I have already compiled the CM7 and there are successful but don't know where to put files and give commands with the sources of CM9! Can someone give me a hand?
What have you done/tried already?
I compiled the CM7 but I don't know how build the CM9! I don't know who commands give and where to put files
Can you help me?
Lupohirp has already started.to port cm9 to p500 there r still some bugs but it's getting there
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
First sync cm9-source, instead of gingerbread you use ics.
Download device and vendorfiles from github.com/lupohirp.
Create following folders in device: lge and lge/thunderg (in time it will be p500 instead of thunderg)
Also download framework_base from his github and replace all files folder in framework/base in your working folder.

how to fix it?
how to fix this error? http://pastebin.com/m3D1vZQs
OMG, if you dont know how to solve compiler errors learn coding/bug fixing instead
of ask again and again for every **** error on a forum. Do you realy think someone want
to help you to learn programming??? i think no one will do so.
Compiling a rom from source code is not the right toy for bloody beginners, sorry if it
sounds to hard but this is the real life.

bro just let him wait for the reply from someone and learn it the hard way...
why waste ur time????
maybe someone will help him but who knows...
look what I just asked one thing I did not ask that someone help me to solve the bugs! I just want to compile the rom! isn't that just because you are good you have the right to judge others.

i doesnt said a thing about the one is a bad programmer / another is better. i only
said that its sometimes better to learn things before get started with big projects
that can waste a lot of time. do what you want - its your time, not mine
so I have time to lose! However I managed to compile the cm7 for another phone! I'm having problems with only the cm9 and can't solve it!
Before you try to compile CM9, read Cyanogen's words of wisdom

thats sooo true.
I read what is written and I understand that to compile the rom you need to develop but still do not know (I have only 15 years old)! However, I still try and just wondering if anyone can help me understand!
I can read code, but I can't code. Let me try to point you in a good direction, it has to do with the audio system.

[Q] Compiling a certain part of the source code

Hello,
Suppose I have a bootmenu source code( from CM7 repo for example ), how can I compile it alone( without having to compile entire CM source code )?
Thanks, Joe.
Try make bootimage
Herpderp Defy.
make bootimage didn't work - no rule for creating bootimage.
Just one more question: If I don't want to download the entire code, just to compile a very small piece of it( which contains Android.mk ), how can I do it?
That piece must have a git behind it.
Try make --help
Greets!
I'm not a fake.
I prefer people to reply to me and give feedback instead of thanking me!
But thanking me does show if you apreciate my works.
It does, for example android_Framework_base
What do I do then?
You can do that, the android build system is tightly integrated, and you cant just build anything indepently
But if you have the full source, u can cd to the dir and use this command "mm"
UNknown command.
Lunched and . Build/envsetup before?

Now, yes. I am still struggling to get it working, the repo sync always fails on me. Isn't there an easier way to download the source code?

OK, So I've compiled the AOSP. mm is not working.
How can I compile the apps via Eclipse? It gives me thousands of errors.
My bad, was a typo, its mmm
So - do this
cd <source dir>
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch (select your device - or maguro/crespo would be fine)
mmm packages/apps/<app u wanna compile>
It'll compile, when done, check out/target/product/<device>/system/app/<app>.apk

Thank you so much! I already figured out how to compile apps( make Settings/etc ), but this works for everything there.
And as for my second question - HOw can I insert a single app into eclipse? I tried to add the classes-full-debug.jar, but I still get some errors like missing classes and things like that.
Any solutioN?

Complete noob guide for compiling roms

Hi..im a quite fresh android user after having iphone for the last 4 years....i have a huawei ideos x5 pro that for me at least is a great phone for his price..but the major problem is that we don't have devs for our phone...only one chinese guy that develops roms for at least 7 phones so we aren't his major concern...so im asking if there is a complete noob guide for compiling rom..fixing rom.
i have to tell you and please don't flame that even that i have knowlage over pc's i haven't any knowlage over programming and coding!!so if any guide can't help me it will be ok...i try! but if there is a guide that can help me step by step to understand the basics and then with a bit of research can figure it out the rest it will be helpful!!
Thanks!!
Sorry for my english!

Yeah i know that...im asking for a user's entirely noob guide...1st time user guide...google is full with guides but not so novice guides!!
There isn't a "type this, click this, A,B,C" guide. That would be called just copying somebody's work. What you need to do is start reading through ALL the guides you can find, compile a kernel, read smali, change colors, mod pictures, unpack-repack boot.imgs. I can't give you a link and say "Read this tutorial and you will be a developer", that's just not how it works.

After reading a lot of guides...i can say that i didnt find anything so hard but i haven't try it so far so i can say for sure...but i stuck in one thing...somewhere on all the guides it sais to find your device tree...and many guides that are from samsung or htc using some github and some cyanogen brances...i have an huawei ideos x5 pro...where i will find those trees?do i need them for making the android source work with my device or the source from google is universal meaning that when im build the rom from sources.android.com the rom will work in my device??

You must have a device tree... If not you have to build your own... The rom built from source.android.com will only work with google nexus devices...

look for a device with similar hardware and copy that device tree, then try to make adjustments to get it working and voila. and ask that one dev if he can give you his device tree

if u r good at linux, u can try this guide >>> http://handycodeworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/linux_versus_android.pdf
I compile linux kernels for desktop, but the android kernel is not the same. Cyanogen team and GOOGLE Android developers provides a comprehensive guide on building ur own ROM. But to build ur own OS, u need to understand each component carefully. I don't know abt android, but i am making Linux OS from scratch. I have kernel compiled, tool chain set up, now i am putting apps on it. But android uses DALVIK VM for Java apps, also .... U refer the pdf it will tell u. Once i finish making this OS, i'll focus on Android ROMS. They r similar to Linux OS, but require patches in kernel, a light c lib, new fs, a different vm (dalvik) and different ways of managing i/o interrupts and much more..
this link is on porting android on nokia >> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Porting-Android-to-a-new-device/
this one is on linux on embedded systems >> http://www.lindusembedded.com/blog/2010/12/07/android-linux-kernel-additions/
Also, sorry to say but learn C/C++/Java . To make ROMS, atleast to make modifications and to understand the kernel u'll need C. Not very hard to learn, Good tuts on Lynda.com and other sites. And be good at Linux. Happy Learning
