How to import projects from Github in Eclipse galileo - G1 Android Development

Hello all. I have Eclipse Galileo and Egit plugin (http://github.com/guides/using-the-e...in-with-github).
I followed the instruction in the site above to import the progect, but Eclipse seems to fail to import activities.
I'm new from GitHub, do you can write some detailed instruction or known some detailed guides about this?
Thx a lot

Yeah yeah how do u do that I am trying to get into developeing.. and this google cyan really got me more pumped to learn cuss If google gets really crazzy I wana be able do my own rom please pro devs help...

If you're looking into ROM development, Eclipse isn't going to help much, you're gonna need a *nix machine (OS X works as well) to build android from the source.
source.android.com
as for eclipse, i'm kinda in the same boat, i can create new projects, but can only import by copy and pasting *every* file.

I'm try to import loccy's betterbrowser for android via github, but following litterally the instrunction for the Egit plugin (http://github.com/guides/using-the-e...in-with-github), Galileo lost some dependecies and fail the import.
If download the sources manually and import into a workspace via "filesystem" import, Eclipse will import well, but all activities were lost. I'm not a java hardcoder, i really don't know where is the problem

yeah yeah

Start here:
http://source.android.com/download
I think I've got that working. Then you can grab Cyanogen's source or just patch the browser in the standard AOSP tree.
Warning, the build takes a while.

there is supposedly a way to edit the source in eclipse but you can't compile in eclipse. No one i've talked to has been able to actually get eclipse to work for building roms and all use the old school way via terminal. I was able to go from a freshly formatted linux netbook to having cyans source build where I can make edits within a day, that included building the original source. Once you have it done once it's easier the next time around

[Q] Original G1 firmwares

I am looking for all the original HTC Dream firmwares, for ROM cooking purposes, but I couldn't find any (except the 1.5 and 1.6 ADP1 updates which aren't enough for me, I want 2.0, 2.1 and maybe 2.2 too).
Please do not misunderstand me, I know there are only a few limited releases for this phone (no official FroYo/Éclair, etc), under original I meant a clean, unmodified firmware (max modification is any app2sd, root). Is there any such file?
I'm very desperate to start cooking (and do not base it on any recent release, like CyanogenMod, or anything else. Of course they are very good, I appreciate all the modders' work, that's why I don't want to make anything based on it - it is like stealing their work. I know how it feels, as I am a Symbian developer for a while - I've been stolen, remade, etc, many times).
Honestly, I think CyanogenMod is the closest you're gonna get to a "vanilla" G1 Eclair/Froyo ROM.
There are plenty of people that base their ROM's off Cyanogen. Obviously I can't speak for him, but I don't think he minds people using his ROM's as long as they give him credit.
You could grab CyanogenMod and remove the extra apps he's put in there like ADWLauncher and that would be about as close to a stock ROM as you'll get, I think.
Here you go
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates
There is not a release from HTC that is for the G1 (ADP1) beyond 1.6. This is because 2.x required more space on /system then the G1 has. that is why the eclair/froyo versions of CyanogenMod require dangerSPL.
If you want a vanilla version of android, you will have to build from source, which you should do any how. You want to get the source from AOSP. But honestly, the work that the CM team has done makes the CM build a better option. Like the addition of FLAC support, for example. All of the source to CM is available on github, so you could, pull from AOSP and CM if you wanted.
CM is anything BUT stock. It is huge, with lots of stuff thrown in. Everything including the kitchen sink.
Another much more "basic" 2.2 to start with is Jubeh's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709201
Note that BOTH have expressed that they have no problem with anyone building on their work and ask only for respectful citation of their work.

you could also check out my AOSP roms in my 4shared box
I understand that they do not mind, but I (we) plan to create an Online ROM Kitchen, from base, and for this, I need the most basic firmwares. Probably I will build from source (though there is no proper guide how to build for a specific device, because G1 (dream) is in the added phone's folder (src/device/htc/dream/), and I could not find any guide to build it :S), but that is the last option (mostly because for Ubuntu, Java JDK 5 is not available anymore, and it IS required to build).
One more question: the Cyanogen source, is it the whole stuff I need to build a basic image, or do I need the AOSP too?

you can install jdk 5 on ubuntu 9.10+
add

Sun/oracle still provides JDK5 from their legacy site... or as mentioned, ubuntu has it still in repo.

As I said, you can't build a basic image from CM source -- it simply isn't BASIC, it is as mod as you get.
It is enough to build a full CM build, however....

Yes I did, I was hoping in a much more modder-made step-by-step tutorial (google was always a bit foggy with their build instructions).

Under "basic image" I meant a proper, final, working image of CyanogenMod. But if it is enough, I will try with it, thank you.

or just add the jaunty repos..
AND as I said, you can use JDK 6 which is in 10.04..

this is all very basic stuff, maybe you should rethink what you want to do and just kang an AOSP FroYo like some other 'devs' did

For the SDK maybe, but I don't want to develop applications, but to understand source compiling, learn how to create ROMs (and maybe automate it), and such things. I never said I'm a developer - I just want to be one. And that will not happen soon, as I have to learn a lot, even though I was following Android from the very beginning.

[Resolved] How to compile Stock Android Source Code such as MMS.apk

I am new to android development and started messing around and building the example source in Eclipse Helios. When I do new project > existing source and open up the Mms.apk source (stock, from android's git hub, it says the source has errors and they need to be fixed before I can build.
I tried this on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine and used repo to get the entire android source, thinking maybe having the entire platform source would help. I'm still unable to build the source so any edits I do are useless.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing? I know I'm doing something wrong or skipping something, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks

sorry to double post but i'm not sure why it says "Resolved", i think the app made me add it in or something. anyways the status is still currently unresolved. any help much appreciated.

[Q] Building a UnORom on Gentoo

Hi there,
as I don't have permission to write on the Unofficial Rom Project Thread, I am asking here for a GUIDE to setup a jenkins server that automatically builds ROMs for my Sensation aka Pyramid.
Is anyone here who can help me to get into the build process for the first time on an continious integration server.
What did I already did?
I have set up Java 1.6 to build a Cyanogenmod 11 and I m not sure if it should be Java 7?
I downloaded the entire sources from github. I m sorry I m not allowed to post a link.
via
so I hope that isnt the wrong way as I am following multiple guides to accomplish my target.
So I wanted to set up it all for the first time to run a compilation without jenkins then I 'm stuck at the point where I integrate the UnORom files - I only could set up a
Code:
git clone https://github.com/UnORoms/android_device_htc_pyramid.git
and then i succesfully executed
Code:
./extract-files.sh
so it downloaded a couple of files from my phone.
But when I do a
Code:
lunch
there don't exists a cm_pyramid?
So I m stuck at this point and I m politely asking for help.(Maybe to accomplish my personal goal of using a continious integration server at least
Thanks in advance for your replys
Nobody knows how to build a android rom for a specific device?
In my case the HTC Sensation?
I would be glad if there where some tutorials of implementing the necessary files into my cm11-tree.
Could anyone please give it a try?

I'm not 100% familiar with building roms, but I once compiled them completely from source for testing purposes.
Do you have device files and kernel in your local manifest to sync them from somewhere or did you take what you need from your phone? Not sure if it's required or not.
When I had everything ready I had to run
Code:
./device/htc/pyramid/repo-patcher.sh
then I could run
Code:
lunch cm_pyramid-userdebug
and it worked.
Not sure if it works same way here too, since I did that when I used Team-Sennyc2 device tree.

Lollipop Source - Official Nvidia Repository

The developer site is still listing KitKat as the newest build, so here are the links to the instructions to build Lollipop using the official source:
Lollipop 5.0: http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=rel-st8-l-r1-partner
Lollipop 5.0.1: http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=rel-st8-l-r2-partner
Cheers mate. It is still listing the 1.2.1 OTA as the latest but just by changing the branch url i was able to find the newest.
Lets hope for some more development on this device. I'm going to PM you soon - I will be building my own ROM and/or Kernel.

I'm trying to figure out what's up with it now. I know when I synced it was r1, and tlk/shieldtablet.xml was valid.
Hopefully I can track down why it is coming back invalid in r2.

Same to you. It updated ok but now I have to see if it'll re-init. It may be a delay on their end. The readme for the portable was up a week before the source.
Cool. I'll give it another try once I've finished work. Been a member for years and helped a lot in the old windows phone days. But thought enough of just relying on other people, time to start getting my hands dirty again. But new to building Android. Need to read up on manipulation of ROMs rather than just building a stock ROM. Any tips on tools to manipulate ROMs? Am i right by merging commits then build, then manipulate ROM? I will read up on it but just thought you might have some pointers. Thanks

Best bet is to either find something you like and merge it or try to find something similar and recreate it to start. Once you get comfortable, then start coming up with your own.
Building from source is mostly Java for modifying with some C for drivers and such. Usually when you have a device configuration already set up, though, the C part is already done.
Just wanna say a big thanks to @twistedumbrella. I set up a new ubuntu build environment and I'm now compiling my first Android build for Nvidia Shield Tablet EU-LTE. No mods yet other than stock, but hopefully with time.

It looks like they are still working out a few issues with new updates. I don't maintain the source, so the only advice I can provide is to keep on eye on nvidia's gitweb for when they publish a solution (or occasionally sync and try over), or attempt to fix it yourself (which usually only works if there is an issue with the code, not code missing altogether).
Compiled! I have resynchronized all the project from scratch from git repository.
I'm going to test the compiled ROM in my tablet, but I suppose, I have to provide almost the essential pack of Google apps (basic providers and play services).
I think to flash *.img files, except recovery.img (I'm on TWRP), and then install from TWRP PA Gapps. Is this approach correct?
Thnx in advance and regards.
EDIT: No luck booting custom rom (TWRP nor stock recovery...)
Seem's like there's a new source three version out:
repo init -u git://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/manifest/android/binary.git -b rel-st8-l-r3-partner -m tlk/shieldtablet.xml

Hello,
If you have interest in develop a custom rom, i suggest you start at XDA University to learn a bit of everything about Android.
You have some great guides on Android Software Development (look at stick posts)
I have my own guide which is not finished but I will teach everything you need to know about build a custom ROM from source, how to use github, git, mergetool etc... You can follow my progress HERE

OK thanks, I will take a look at that. If possible, could you take a look at the errors I am getting with my AOSP build? I posed the link in the original post. Also, do you have to run extract-files.sh or can you simply download the vendor binaries from Google and run the extracting script? (AOSP)
