Hello, I'm complete newbie to this android world.
I followed the instructions in AOSP
and now I have build tree and it looks like java-related source codes are compiled.
I want to compile external/wpa_supplicant.
Any comments or references would be great

I am too interested in this subject. I am learning slowly as and when I get time.
kernelnewbies.org
Generally good resource for starting out learning linux kernel
(Which is what the android is built off of)
android.git.kernel.org
Android Kernel Source
lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/
Online guide to driver development among many other related topics.
pdk.android.com
This guide provides an under-the-hood introduction to the Android platform, and is designed for platform developers and manufacturers building Android-powered devices.
Sorry for not providing the links...xda won't allow me to post links since I have less posts.
Android kernel
Dear All
as i understand, the android kernel source, what you can download from Google , should be enough for building a new kernel to some phone.
If i am right, does that mean that the Linux kernel sources are already included?
Or am i totally wrong?
Thanks for your answers
I am also interested in learning the Kernel Development and ROM development. Can Any one Help.

I have the answere for the question above.
After i have inspected the Android kernel sources, it came out, that i have been right.The only source you need for creating a new kernel for a phone, is the complete android kernel.
The linux kernel is allready included.
I think if you want to build a kernel, specific for your phone. you have to overwrite the default dirs with the specific sources of your phone. If it is not allready done by others.
Android Kernel
Hi,
We need to distinguish between Linux and Android. Android was forked from Linux, and now those are managed as separate products. Android usually takes the updates from linux, but there are features in Android which Linux refused to get (such as wakelocks).
So the android kernel source includes all needed to build a working kernel.
Hi everyone,
To learn more on Android and to have fun, I'm creating a Kang based on
Cyanogenmod 7.2 for the HTC Glacier.
I got the source using repo and I was able to build a "vanilla" CM7.2 without issue.
Now I want to make some modification but I'm not sure
how you guys / gals are managing the source code.
I see 3 ways to organize my work :
1- Fork each part I want to work on and change the default manifest to fetch update from my github instead of cyanogenmod.
Pros : easy, can track my change using git
Cons : to fork every part just to change a text file is beurk...
2- Create local branch with git in every project I want to change.
Pros : easy
Cons : My commit are only local. Need to merge each project with CM branch.
3- Work outside cyanogenmod source folder and applied my change before building my kang.
Rollback everything (git reset) once my build is done.
Pros : no effort to stay in sync with CM sources. Can create a project on github with all my changes.
Cons : Need to use a kind of script to apply my mod every time I want to build.
Any opinions ? How are you managing your sources ?
I'm quite new with Android development, so feel free to suggest tutorial or better working technique.
Regards.
Hello,
Bump! :-D
I will try solution 3 but I am still interested to get opinions.

Hi everyone,
I have an android library ("is library" checked on eclipse) that i'd like to include in my android android project.
Everything compiles fine on Eclipse, but for some reasons I have to compile it through the android.mk of my project.
I tried to include my library as a subfolder of my project, and got this in my application's makefile :
include $(call all-subdir-makefiles)
But the links are not made between the library and my project...
How can I solve that ?
Thanks in advance
So, how to build my own custom rom version ?
I want to build CM and cherrypicks some feature.
Does anyone have a guide or maybe anyone could teach me? Because i can't really follow the tutorial on CM wiki page.
Thanks a lot !
You need fairly decent specs internet and specs to compile. You can rent a linux VPS to compile to get rid of most of the headaches, or install a Linux distribution on your pc. Then you can follow https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_bacon#Build_CyanogenMod_and_CyanogenMod_Recovery if you have a Debian based Linux(Ubuntu) install, just substitute the branch in "repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1" with cm-13, if you want to build cm13 nighties. If you want to cherry go to the root of the build directory and copy and paste the commands from the cm gerrit. You can find the command under the download tab.
Hello since I'm kinda new to xda , I cant create a thread
Quick question
How can I implement kexec hardboot patch in my kernel ,
I found this kernel by the mod developer
github. com/ davidepianca98/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974-kexec
But cm-13.0 branch isn't available
https://github.com/davidepianca98/a...mmit/af5ef3d76f863f02c51cf860702b01536620ebf5 this commit tells you how to modify your kernel to implement it. You can possibly cherrypick it too.
I found an open source app that has its code hosted at GitLab, and I wanna build it for my phone myself. To be clear, this app does have a playstore version, but I wanna build it myself, for DIY's sake. I'm not strictly a developer, but I consider myself pretty knowledgable about modding and DIY-ing. So what I'm looking for is a step-by-step guide meant for beginner to intermediate users, on how to build an app from its source code.
The app I'm looking to build is called LibreTorrent. Its code is hosted here on GitLab.
