Compiling from the Sourcecode

Hi all, I've been googling around but didn't find any useful information, so I'm asking just in case. Is there any guide to compile the full Android sources (kernel+userspace) for the Sapphire?
I found information for the Dream, and I guess it will be similar, but android's kernel source doesn't even have the sapphire files (though I have a copy elsewhere), but I don't know which libraries I might need to add by myself to the destination images, or something else I need to have in consideration...
Thanks in advance!

Technical documentation about various images

Hi guys. Is there any reference documentation that describes what is radio firmware, recovery image, hboot, system image? Everyone on forums talk about it, but I haven't found any proper documentation on that matter. I know what those basically represent, but i would be gratefull if someone could share some extensive documentation about those. Tnx.
No documentation at all?
check out this thread... lots of info...

[Q] Could someone explain me how to compile this?

Hi, i'm sort of starting in Android Developement and I found a proof of concept that looked interesting because it might exploit a vulnerability that's present on my future application. I'd like to build it but I can't manage to... I have joined the source code that you can get from github as an attached file (and zipped it)
I hope somebody will be able to help me and explain how to do it,
Thanks,

[Help] Making N5 Kernels

I've been trying to find the best way to compile. I found a guide on youtube "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV4jhXWc7AE", but it is a little outdated and I'm having some trouble following him. The kernel source that he has has a lot of folders and the only kernel source I've found for the N5 has 2 files. So I'm missing something in finding the kernel source it seems.
It would be awesome if I could get some help and maybe pointed in the right direction. The only problem is that I'm a auditory and kinesthetic learner.
I have Ubuntu installed and ready to go, I also have the lastest NDK, and I have the AnyKernel.zip.

Need help with kernel development

I'm stuck following googles source documents as what to do next. I have download the source code as described here and I have done this "git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git". I see the ".git" file in the working directory but I'm confused as to what to do next. Where are the kernel files? I dont see the files that I see here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git/+/android-msm-marlin-3.18-nougat-mr1. Maybe I am confused but I'm just not sure what to do next. Any help or info will be appreciated.

I've searched the forums and they are all out dated. The one you linked is from 2012. Google's documentation has changed and I can't find any extra info that is aligned with googles documentation.
