Since I cant post in the development forum yet I will have to post here, In the hope this will get picked up by a Dev...Has anyone seen that the NSA have released the source code for the Secure Android OS. I have been looking at building this for the HTC Sensation.
I am going to follow the instructions here to build the base Android but I cant see how to build for the Target device...HTC Sensation
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
I have read this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386615
Then incorporate this...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Is there any source/ help/ instruction that I can check out to learn how to design/build Android OS for any supported devices? I would like to learn to see if I can build the firmware for my Eken M0001 using the latest Android version.
i think theunlockr.com has a guide of some sort. i would look there!
Code:
android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_for_Android
This should get you up and running if you are somewhat familiar with the whole Linux thing. If not I would start out by learning how to compile the kernel and some standard libraries for a regular X86(_64) distro. The approach is pretty much the same, only compiling for android requires a lot more work with cross-compiling and getting a working set of standard libraries for arm.
Oh, and sorry about the link thingie. The administrators of this forum are obviously weak minded and have come up with some totally brain-dead limitations for new users. (A new user is not allowed post links , a good RP system would beat that hands down anytime)
Thanks for the info. I will check those links out.
I'm not sure if this will help us much at all, but, I figured I'd put this out there.
Froyo and GB ROMs for some GSM variants of the Foxconn FB400 phone (which is what the Triumph is ) can be found here:

That awasome..mate. thxs 4 sharing
But would be sweet if that link mention Credit to
I believe that link is ardX properties member of Kaskus.us
Motorola is 'preparing' it but if it's hauwei or whatever then that would explain a delay, i love it when companies 'work together'
nonetheless, this thread may be relevant to follow. It is on the motodev blog regarding release of the open source kernel etc for this device...

INTRESTING NEWS!!!:
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers,the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.htmlCheck out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

Hey dude, this is the development section. If you wanna post in here, you better have something to offer.
If you wanna post relevant news updates, shouldn't it go in the general section or something? Just sayin'

Sounds alot like a development related post when a source code is out
Developement means something you've developed, all developers know the source is out, that's why we don't need a thread in Dev, also this is like the 5th thread I've moved to general about the subject..

Nice attitude
It's nothing wrong, it's just that it's so big news it's hard to miss
No need to keep this thread open mates.
There is another one in the general section.
Thread closed

I have successfully built a AOSP ROM I think.
I now have recovery.img, boot.img, userdata.img, system.img
Is there a way of making a n update.zip with these?
This should be moved to Q & A.
Yes, it's about development BUT, it's a question about development and therefore does not belong here.

Come on man do a Google search. There is information for making AOSP ROMs all over the place.
With that said, I strongly recommend heeding this advice:

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.

The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

Hi,
Im new with android develoopment so please bear with a n00b. can someone guide me how to build ics rom using the source provided by samsung..
I have downloaded the original android ics source and samsung's source.. I can build the android source but I dont know how to plug in the samsung code. Unfrotunately, sammy's documentation is insufficient probably about 10 lines, just says to overwrite the android source and do a make. But when I run make I get errors...
I've been looking at the forums most of them build from the cm10 source, but I want to build using the original. Figured I would learn more if I tried to build it from the actual sources..
Appreciate any help. If I learn, I would definitely pay it forward by contributing whatever I can to the community..
Thanks
You need to post this in the Galaxy Note phone section.
Wrong section. 1) Dev sections are for builds and modifications. 2) wrong device thread. This is for the galaxy note 10.1 tablet.

Wrong forum and building pure AOSP for Samsung non-Nexus devices is impossible, too many framework changes needed. Android userspace is Apache licensed so this is unfortunately legal.
