[HOW TO]Building Kernel Source For Any Device - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello All. I have received several requests for how to build a kernel from source so I figured I would make a guide for anyone looking.
WARNING: I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR PHONE, PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, LIFE, OR CAR. YOU HAVE ALREADY ROOTED YOUR DEVICE SINCE YOU ARE READING THIS SO YOU KNOW IT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.
Now that thats over. I will walk you through how to set up a kernel building environment and walk you through building a kernel.
I.) Requirements
1.)You will need a computer. Just about any computer running linux will work, even a Virtual Machine. I will be using Ubuntu Oneiric, Server Edition for my guide. (Most commands are the same across Ubuntu Editions as well as Linux in general.)
2.)Internet Access- the faster the better
3.)Knowledge of the android kernel and what does what.
4.)The Master Branch from Google as well as the source for your device.
5.)ALOT of time.
6.)Common Sense
II.) Installing The Necessary Tools
1.)First we must download the neccesary tools.
To install java, you need to know which version of android you will be developing for.
Froyo and Lower:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Gingerbread and Newer:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
2.)Next we willl download the tools needed(You need to know if you are on a 64 bit system or 32 bit.)
For 64 bit:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc
Also you must link one thing based on your Ubuntu Version:
For 10.10:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so
For 11.10:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so
For 32 bit:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc
No linking is necessary.
NOTE: You can set up CCache on either setup. However, you will not need it necessarily due to the source is not that big compared to building a rom and therefore will not take as long.http://dnssearch.rr.com/index.php?origURL=http://www.goog.gl/&r=
III.) Downloading The Source
1.)If you already have an android Directory set up, then skip this step. If not, follow these commands. (NOTE:THIS GUIDE FOLLOWS AS IF YOU USE THIS STEP. BE CAREFUL)
Code:
$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir android
$ cd android
2.)Set up your source directory.
Code:
$ mkdir source
$ cd source
$ mkdir aosp (YOUR DEVICE)_kernel repo
$ cd repo
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ./repo
$ chmod 755 repo
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/android/source/repo/
OR
$ sudo cp repo /usr/bin/repo
$ cd ../aosp
$ mkdir master
$ cd master
3.)You are now ready to grab the source. You will need the master branch. So while in the master directory:
Code:
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE SO SIT BACK AND RELAX.
4.)Now you need your specific devices source. So follow those steps accordingly to get the source into the directory for you device kernel @ $HOME/android/source/(YOUR DEVICE)_kernel
You now have all the source you need.
V.) Building The Kernel
1.)Now we will set up the environment for the build.
Code:
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILER=arm-eabi-
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/android/source/aosp/master/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
2.)Now you go into your device's kernel directory.
Code:
$ cd $HOME/android/source/(YOUR DEVICE)_kernel
3.)And begin the configuration.
If you like a gui like menu:
Code:
$ make menuconfig
If you like to answer questions:
Code:
$ make config
4.)Configure your kernel how you want it.
5.)Then, once thats done:
Code:
$ make -j4
This will build the kernel. This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half+.
VI.)Grabbing The Newly Made Kernel
1.) Your kernel will be located at:
Code:
$ $HOME/android/source/(YOUR DEVICE)_kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage
2.) Your Wireless Module Will depend on your device. For the Ally, it would be:
Code:
$ $HOME/android/source/ally_kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wireless.ko
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You have built your own kernel.
Now follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748106 to flash it.
Any problems or questions, let me know. Either a PM or I'm almost always in #asus-transformer on IRC.

Gonna try this. Thanks for sharing...
Sent using my brain

Thanks for working on this. On first look, I think you intended to put a repo sync after the init command here:
3.)You are now ready to grab the source. You will need the master branch. So while in the master directory:
Code:
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE SO SIT BACK AND RELAX.

For the device, should it be what our device is named by the company for marketing, etc or is it what is in the build.prop under ro.product.device?? Thanks

@OP: Do I've to make any changes if I were to build from Glitch (SGS) sources for CM7?? Or everything remains the same?

what does (Your device) mean ? its name (example: samsung galaxy ace) or the codename ( example: GT-S5830) ????

[GUIDE] Building CM9 for G2X

I'm always surprised at the lack of good documentation for CM. But I thought I'd put together a quick guide for building CM9 on the G2X (this has been tested only on Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit)
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
../../bin/repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
This is important:
You'll need to add the following lines to "~/android/system/.repo/manifest.xml"
Code:
<project path="device/lge/p999" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p999" />
<project path="device/lge/star-common" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_star-common" />
Then you can run:
Code:
../../bin/repo sync -j16
I've had some issues with repo syncing properly, you might have to run this command a few times (don't be afraid to close the console and try running it again if it hangs)
Then you run:
Code:
~/android/system/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Please read the following:
In most guides you read, you are told to run "extract-files.sh" with the device plugged in, to pull the proprietary files off the phone. Do not do this. That script hasn't been updated for ICS and doesn't pull the needed files. Do the following instead:
Code:
cd ~
git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git -b ics
Then, make a new folder inside "~/android/system/vendor" named "lge". Copy the p999 folder inside ~/proprietary_vendor_lge into ~/android/system/vendor/lge.
Then you can run:
Code:
cd ~/android/system
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch p999
Please post any questions here, I'll try my best to answer them. There may be typo' so please let me know if you run into any issues, thanks!
Not to be snide, but maybe a 'tutorial' or link to a thread which explains the individual commands. Some of them I am familiar with, either because something like CD exists on PC as well or through beating my head into a table trying to find explanations of commands and either by way of a quick comment or s/g I get the answer. But I've had a hard time finding an explanation of android-related commands or CWM scripts. In short, for people who aren't noons but aren't Linux savvy or what not, a guide or link would be nice.
Otherwise, sweet! Thanks!

@Волк,
If you dont know what something(tool, cmd, etc.) is, type man in your terminal. Ex: man git. You can also type the tool/cmd name and use the help switch. Ex: git --help Sometimes the help switch will vary. Could be --help, -h, or --h. Online Linux man pages can be found at Linux.die.net
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
*sudo apt-get is used to install packages in the terminal. The packages above are un-met dependencies such as java, tools, development files/packages, etc.
Also can be done in the software center.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p ~/bin
*mkdir is a tool/cmd to make a directory and the -p is a switch to make a parent directory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*The ~ is a command line shortcut. Instead of typing /home/computername/ use the ~ instead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir -p ~/android/system
*same as above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
*curl is a tool to transfer data to or from a server, using one of the supported protocols (DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP). The command is designed to work without user interaction. curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support, user authentication, FTP upload, HTTP post, SSL connections, cookies, file transfer resume and more. curl is powered by libcurl for all transfer-related features.(Taken from the man pages)
in this case your downloading a git repo and piping it to ~/bin/repo. Type https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo in your browser without the pipe and see what happens. But piping or directing output can be done by using the > symbol.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
*chmod means to (CH)ange file (MOD)e bits. A is for all users, U is for root only, and O is for other(guests). You can add modes or remove them with the + or - signs. Permissions are r for read, w for write and x for execute. Sometimes you will need to be root to change/modify modes/permissions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CD means to (c)hange (d)irectory. Ex: cd /home/ubuntu/Documents/
----------------> I AM NOT TOO FAMILIAR WITH GIT, SVN, ETC.
Thank you for posting this guide. I have not tested it yet because I am out of town for work. I an going to attempt building this weekend. I used to roll my own on CM7 and want to do the same with CM9. Is the packages required to build CM9 the same as CM7 (software environment)?

you could do this part easier like this
Code:
cd ~/android/system
mkdir vendor
cd vendor
git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git -b ics
Then rename the folder you cloned to lge. in some cases you can do
Code:
git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git -b ics lge
and it will name the folder you clone lge for you
At least I do something along those lines.
If it freezes you do not have to close console. Simply push ctrl+z and it will kill the command and you can reissue it again.

edit1:
as proposed by kwes1020 used
git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git -b ics lge
to get the lge proprietary repo in place..
Image is bootable, has wifi, but no phone..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after many times of trying to get thhe repo to sync, I am finally building ICS for my G2x.
The sync would stall with two items remaining. I deleted everything and started over many times. What I finally did was monitor where it was failing and deleted just that directory (prebuilts). Restarted the sync and it completed cleanly. I have bee compiling for about 30 minutes without errors. I hope the final product is bootable.
edit, the final product was bootable. No camera, data, or phone.

This will definitely not work. the "extract-files.sh" script hasn't been updated since gingerbread, it doesn't pull all the needed files from the device. Also why do you run "setup-makefiles.sh" before extract-files? It is run at the end of the "extact-files.sh" script, as you can see here:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p999/blob/ics/extract-files.sh
On a final note, there is no need to run "lunch", "brunch" is all that is needed. You can go here for an explanation on the differences between lunch & brunch
I don't think pulling the proprietary files from Koush's repo works properly for the G2X yet, but it's definitely more correct than using the extract-files.sh script (how do you think the build bot builds the ROM's? Do they have all 70 CM devices plugged into the build server? Nope, they use that repo)
Thanks for the tutorial, loganmc10! I have built many CM7 KANG's for the G2x without issue, but I seem to be having some problems with CM9. I figured out what I assumed was the proper way to build CM9 for the G2x a few weeks ago, and your tutorial matches what I did, so I know I'm on the right path, but my CM9 KANG's have a few deal-breaking issues (and possibly others, but I haven't run my KANG's long enough to know of any others):
1.) No 4G/HSDPA+ network, Only EDGE. (Or at least I only see the "E" indicator).
2.) No Wi-Fi Calling. Get "Wi-Fi Calling has stopped" error messages starting immediately after boot.
3.) Camera doesn't work, receive an error message that the camera can't be accessed.
I'd like to know if anyone has created a G2x CM9 KANG without these issues and what they did differently. I know it's possible from running Ricardo Cerqueira's KANG's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Holy crap. I want to learn this stuff... but I am lost as sh*t! Any ideas of what I should read or learn so I can eventually follow along!

You gotta at lease be able to read Java, some C++, and have a basic knowledge of how Linux works
and if you want to be lazy you can just add this to your manifest
<project name="koush/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" />
no need to fool around with the files from koush they will be placed in the right dir
i build using this command
cd vendor/cm && ./get-prebuilts && cd ../../ && . build/envsetup.sh && brunch p999 CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 USE_CCACHE=1 -j24 2> warn.log
cd vendor/cm && ./get-prebuilts && cd ../../
for getting prebuilds everything time i build icheck for updates
. build/envsetup.sh
no need to explain i think
brunch p999
since it is less typing then breakfast p999 && mka bacon
CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4
selecting old gcc toolchain
USE_CCACHE=1
yup i want to use ccache should be enabled by default but just to be sure
-j24
building with 24 threats i want to use multiple cores and not just one
2> warn.log
filtering out hose annoying error and write them to warn.log
then i have two terminals one with the building process
and one with "tail -f warn.log" in case i get abuild error
this is interesting
Does anyone know how to get the camera to work after building? Everything else seems to work fine. Thanks!

Is there a way to shrink down the repo sync to just ics? It seems that its downloading also cm7 as well as every other phone. Humongous sync going on here... Im new at this, but I understand enough and there has to be a way to sync just the stuff needed for ics.

[TUTORIAL] How to build your own AOKP (ICS branch) from source

Here my source if you want build your own AOKP ICS for hTC Pico, you need linux OS (recommended ubuntu 12.04 or ubuntu 12.10 amd64 bit architecture <- im using this) or another distribution linux like latest Debian / Arch. Use Google or wiki how to install linux !!!.
Open terminal application (CTRL+ALT+T) and follow all this step :
1) First update your OS :
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update

4) Download sun-java6 by oracle via ppa :
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
5) Setup installing repo :
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
6) Create the working folder :

[URL="http://pastebin.com/BZ4gwm7Q"]http://pastebin.com/BZ4gwm7Q[/URL]
10) Sync repository :
Code:
$ cd ../..
$ repo sync
*note : this will take a long time you need fast connection because the size repositories is 8 ~ 12 GB
11) Compile !

Good tut bro ........
Still many DEVs left including u for our little pico .........
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium
thanks for the great tutorial.
how bout the fixesif got errors?
if AOKP release new build how can we update it without going all the painful 8gb downloading?
sorry noob here.. i hav linux machine here but seldom use.
so i guess i would like to learn how to build.
am looking forward also into MIUI. do you know how to build one from source ?
Do we really need to download that much???
I don't mind downloading 8 to 12 GB, but, I have frequent power fluctuations at my home... So, is there any way by which I can resume the sync-ing process...
//And, to the main question, I use a 32-bit pc. So is it ok to use? Or do I need a 64 bit one?//*never mind.
P.S: I don't seem to understand why we require 8 - 12 GB for compiling something that would be max 200 mB? Is there any reason for this? or can we reduce the download ammount or something like that?
edit: sorry people... i really didn't read the amd64 architecture requirement...

Here my source if you want build your own AOKP ICS for hTC Pico, you need linux OS (recommended ubuntu 12.04 or ubuntu 12.10 <- im using this) or another distribution linux like latest Debian / Arch. Use Google or wiki how to install linux !!!.
Open terminal application (CTRL+ALT+T) and follow all this step :
1) First update your OS :

First of all you require 20GB+ for a Single build and upto 80-100 GBs for a complete set of builds.
Not just 8-12GB

Yes.. but you need to add kernel source, device tree and vendors from Sakinidia's github into manifest.xml
Please don't quote the main thread...
It makes the page kind'a long and lengthy to load and read. kindly don't quote the main thread...

Pick the number of the rom you would like to build
I maintain the 700,300,m7vzw so those are the only ones I can help with
the -j* is how may cpu cores you would like to give to the build process
So -j2 would tell the build process that you have 2 core you would like to use to build
Code:
make clean && make bacon -j2
The flash-able zip will be in the out folder of your build directory

Feedback on TF300t Build Env.
Norskyforce here, testing CMB Roms on the TF300t for lj50036. This works for the TF300t as well, running on LINIX Mint15 - 64bit only. Everything runs fantastic so far, no issues and will soon build my own super savage ROMS. lj50036 has the most excellent tutorial, give him a huge shout-out of thanks. :highfive: Hey lj could you make a custom tutorial for the TF300t and post it up? Here is the original post I find it all to be Excellent.

If you use fedora, you need to downgrade the java packages:
sudo rpm -ivh http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/Linux/I....7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20.x86_64.rpm http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/Linux/I...penjdk-devel-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20.x86_64.rpm http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/Linux/I...jdk-headless-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20.x86_64.rpm --nodeps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and fix the old java to be used instead of the current one:
sudo alternatives --config java
sudo alternatives --config javac
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and select the older java for the both.
