Hi Forum Members,
I am trying to access the clock application that comes on the Samsung captivate. I noticed that its different than the stock clock application in the Android 2.1 source. The widget used to to type in numbers looks like its custom and not the phone widget used in the stock application. I downloaded and extracted the source but I don't see any of the custom samsung app implementations?? I also tried opening the captivate source using eclipse but there is no project file. Could someone point me in the right direction in getting a project created in eclipse using samsung source and accessing the samsung application. I am new to development on the captivate. Thanks.
The Samsung apps have not been open sourced. The things they've made open are the kernel (only the parts they had to, so even some custom stuff is not present) and the mods to the stock eclair tree that are required to build stock eclair. Look at the readme files for instructions on how to build that - there is no Eclipse project because there are no apps in the source and the method for building the kernel and stock eclair is all command line make based.
If you want to build a clock app, this isn't the level you should be working at. If you want to modify the Samsung clock itself, then you're out of luck because that is not open-sourced.
Thanks for the reply - you're right after doing some digging (and finding the README.txt) I realized that I wasn't going to find what I was looking for. Now I am currently building a stock samsung eclair build....
thanks again.

I'm trying to learn how to modify certain android components but I'm having trouble compiling from source.
I downloaded Launcher2 from cyanogen git://github.com/cyanogen/android_frameworks_base.git but Eclipse says it can't resolved some classes.
Some of these classes belong to other repositories like android_framework_base core and graphics. Do I need to bring the sources for these too? will these get compiled into -the Launcher making it huge? What is the correct configuration for eclipse to compile individual apps?
Thank you in advance.
i have the same problems with u~
yes, you need the whole android tree.
then do:
make Launcher2
hope that helps.
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.
bump??? i hate that it says resolved there...
Hello everyone,
After developing some applications for Android I decided to get the source code for Android 4. I want to change my "Home" application. Actually I don't want to change it at all, but change it a little. I download the source code using repo from the branch Android4.0.3_r1 (I don't remember exactly). Under the folder "/packages/apps/" I get the "Launcher2" folder and import it at the Eclipse. Then a miracle confused happened! There are undeclared variables, undefined methods, etc! I cannot understand a thing!
I want a little help for:
- Making this source code run
OR
- Downloading the right source code.
Could you help me how to find and run the original source from Google?
no one has had (as far as i know) any success porting the ICS launcher to 2.X
you may want to look into a custom ROM, or a themed launcher.

Hi again,
Actually I am not trying to port an ICS application to Android 2. Launcher2 is the name of the application for Android 4. Launcher2 works as "Home" application, as I understand.
The problem is that from the source code provided by Google there are errors. Undefined methods, etc. Is there any way to compile and build the Launcher2 application and disappear these errors? And, if there is no way to do it do you know any similar open-source application?
This question is more directed towards developers, but anyone who knows feel free to contribute.
Recently i have downloaded the android source code on ubuntu and the SDK, got virtual device running and adb for my g2x. My question is now that i have the source code in my "WORKING_DIRECTORY" how can i link eclipse to the source code, and run my source in virtual device.
To sum up the question im looking for guide on creating own custom rom, it would be nice to be pointed in the right direction
Do u want to build the from from stock or CM sources

Thanks for responding, i also have a nexus s, id assume its easier to work with nexus stock code then translate some of my work to the cyanogenmod for my
g2x, whatever is easier the get me going and understanding the concepts, So to answer the question working from stock
I am looking to build my own kernel for my AT&T Skyrocket (2.6.35.11 - I727UCLA3). I want to find the default kernel code, try to build the default code and install it before I make modifications to it.
I found these files on the samsung opensource site:
https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SGH-I727
There is:
SGH-I727_NA_Opensource_Update1.zip
SGH-I727_ATT_Opensource.zip
SGH-I727R_Opensource.zip
I think that I want SGH-I727_ATT_Opensource.zip. Two questions though. What is Update1 and do I need that? Also, I expected there to be multiple files for each kernel release of the Skyrocket, however there is only 1. Is this the most recent 2.6.35.11 I727UCLA3 kernel?
One last thing. Are there any good mirrors for these files? The Samsung Open Source site is painfully slow and my downloads stop very quickly after starting.
Thanks a bunch.
