[WIP][DEV][4.1] Jelly Bean 4.1 Source ROM - SIMPLIFIED (7/13/12) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I wanted to get the ball rolling on getting a working AOSP 4.1 ROM built. So far i was able to get it to compile but i cannot get it to boot or get adb working. I need help on this one so lets all work together and get this working! :laugh:
The majority of the compile errors were gps related so i have disabled the building of gps in the device tree for now as that is not important to get a booting build. If you follow these instructions you will be able to build without any errors. But the end product still will not boot. but its close.
Here is how to download the 4.1 AOSP repo (straight from the android source website):
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.1.1_r1
$ repo sync -j16 (this will take about and hour and a half depending on your interwebs speed)
then download the device trees and proprietary files from here:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ git clone https://github.com/sk8erwitskil/aosp-android_device_samsung_skyrocket.git device/samsung/skyrocket/
$ git clone https://github.com/sk8erwitskil/aosp-android_device_samsung_msm8660-common.git device/samsung/msm8660-common/
$ git clone https://github.com/sk8erwitskil/android_vendor_samsung_skyrocket.git vendor/samsung/skyrocket/
then:
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh (notice the period)
$ lunch full_skyrocket-userdebug
$ make -j(number of CPUs/threads +1) otapackage
i have 2 cpus with 2 cores and multi threaded so i do -j9
2(cpus) x 2(cores each) x2(threads per core) + 1 = 9 (so i do make -j9 otapackage)
i got one to completely compile but i cannot get it to boot. i had to edit the updater-script to get it to even install. if you do get one compiled make sure to delete all the lines that have to do with installing recovery from the updater-script. you dont want to overwrite your recovery. and delete the folder "recovery" from inside the finished zip file. i already did that in this one:

not booting rom is still uploading. should be done in about 5 mins

cant wait to see the progress on this very excited thanks

Getting the ball rolling my friend? Good luck

Get hold of Seanzscreams. His Alpha was not booting yet, but he had adb working. We were doing logcats and dmesg's on it. A bit of advice from him on getting adb going might help you along a bit quicker.

I am in NO way trying to disrespect anyone, and have no idea how to development process works. But why does it seem like there are small groups of people trying to get their own versions to boot. Why not collaborate until there's at least a solid base, then branch off?

I am going to start playing with it too, maybe I will figure something out but probably not

i have not edited any of the libs yet. i have only had time to get the compile done and edited the updater-script to get it to install. i will try this tho and see how much further into the boot process i can get. thanks
oh btw, how did you get adb to start. were there changes to init.rc that you had to make?

Compiled and adb is running

Great news... CAF (code aurora forums) just updated their github with new Jellybean sources, and our own msm8660 processor is among them. Same stuff I used for my port of ICS. https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/jb
This is what we need to compile and build from; as it's actually designed for our processor it will be much easier in getting a stable jellybean build up and running.

I think it's safe to say that you guys will have a working ROM fairly soon. Keep this up and you'll have something up and running in week

The kernel will need to be replaced by a modified ICS one. I'd get downloading on the source but I currently don't have access to my linux machine.

How To Get The Source
I am going to expect you to have a build environment already set up. If you don't then look at the link I provide below on how to set up a build environment.
Also if you can't figure out how to do this then please don't bug me about it. I don't want to spend all my time telling people how to build the thing, I am just giving pointers to other developers.
Get the repo utility:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Make a directory to work in. I use the Desktop with a folder called 'devel'
Code:
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir devel
mkdir devel/android
mkdir devel/android/ics
cd devel/android/ics
Choose between AOSP ICS or CyanogenMod ICS (I recommend CyanogenMod ICS as it requires less work)
Code:
# If you want CM9 (will be in alpha)
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
# Or for AOSP ICS
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
Download the source (Now I suggest you do this when you won't need the internet or be touching the computer, ie during the day while at work or overnight)
Code:
repo sync

Preferably CM9 as it will contain a lot of fixes for older hardware, such as support for old touchscreens, and ARMv6. I am looking through some of the commits they have already made and it seems ICS dropped support for a lot of stuff so the CM team has to add it back in or fix it.
And I thought I would never see this thread.....
Best of luck mate....
You are one of the best developers here....
I would like to sign up as a tester....
All the best Hillbeast and devs
The HTC G1 geta a taste of ICS now. So why not Galaxy 3?
Go on...
I really wanna get involved let me know what to do. In what way can i help you

Repo is a Unix command so it's for Ubuntu. I am on Kubuntu because I am weird.

Increase the size, it'll grow up quick
Also, try to install on its own dedicated partition, unless you have a really fast computer, vm wont be so good
Ics is ~6gb of download, cm9 will be a bit more and that'll grow soon, and it takes 12 on hdd uncompiled
compile it, and it goes way up(i use ccache for faster compile time, and it has grown to ~45 GB)
so, go for 100+ GB

[Q] Building Kernels 101

Anyone have any information as to where I can go to learn how to build/compile a kernel for my nexus s 4g? Id like to take a feeble stab at it. Thanks!
Here are some guides I used for getting started:
» [How-To] compile the Nexus S kernel from source
» [HOW-TO] Compile AOSP Gingerbread + [ROM] Master AOSP
» Building Kernel from source - CyanogenMod Wiki
Please note that most of the time you cannot just follow the guides verbatim. Just use it as "guidelines" and adapt it to suit your development environment.
Also you should have basic to moderate understanding in Git in order to apply patches/mods to your kernel properly.
Thanks. Almost easier to pay someone, what with being lazy and all.
Yeah, that's what I do now -- using a "tried and tested by community" kernel/ROM is much easier for life.
I think there are enough kernel threads in XDA that you should find one that suits your needs, and you can send a donation to the developer to show you appreciation in his/her work
There are quite a few, yes. Although I want a 'feature from this kernel and a tweak from that kernel'...or 'Id use this one if it didnt have that feature'...so I just sit at stock...
Lol, sounds like a "walk in the middle path" philosophy
That's a good decision though, nowadays instead of spending time compiling my own kernel, I spend as much time in checking the Development forum -- looking for new kernel(s) update everyday. It's kinda addict once you've tried flashing them
Hey Tails,
I am trying to take a stab at compiling my own kernel too. How did it go for you? I am having problems myself.

Thanks for the quick reply, I think I have repo sync'd and also done
Code:

But I end up with an empty directory called samsung with a hidden directory .repo
Is this correct? Is the 3.0 kernel for nexus s somewhere else?
Well I haven't update the kernel sources since kernel.org was down... However, I think this may also be a good starting point.

Just finished cloning samsung.git from googlesource. I suppose the directory name should be .git? If so, from within samsung directory, type the following command:
Code:
git branch -a
This will list all branches in the repository. You should see something like this:
Code:
* master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/android-samsung-2.6.35-gingerbread
remotes/origin/android-samsung-3.0-ics-mr1
remotes/origin/master
If you want the kernel code for ICS (linux 3.0), type the following command:
Code:
git checkout android-samsung-3.0-ics-mr1
This will checkout the code from the corresponding branch name. If things go well, you should see something like this:
Code:
Checking out files: 100% (37465/37465), done.
Branch android-samsung-3.0-ics-mr1 set up to track remote branch android-samsung-3.0-ics-mr1 from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'android-samsung-3.0-ics-mr1'
Git will create a new local branch for you. To see it, just type git branch -a again.
Now it's time to play!
thanks boss,
Really appreciate you taking the time to do this, it was successful. Here I go to brick my nexus S

No bricks so far, but has not been able to get the phone to boot. Did what I think is a default compile then took the ram disk from the phone. The damn thing just wont boot. Does this mean that I will have to compile the whole ics and use that ram disk? or am I just doing it wrong?

That sounds correct to me. However, I haven't done this for almost a year so I'll just try to recall from my memory =.= Usually the steps should be:
get the boot partition from the phone using dd?
use extract-bootimg.pl to extract the ramdisk
use mkbootimg to create a new boot image from the extracted ramdisk and your zImage
try it with fastboot boot newbootimage.img
Sorry that I couldn't be of more help
You have been great help. Thanks.

[GT-P6210 WIFI][WIP] CyanogenMod 9 (developer preview 2)

SO HERE WE GO MY GT-6210 FRIENDS.
I sold my tab because I got an iPad 2 for work and used the money to get a Galaxy Nexus I will probably keep building this ROM once the kernel is worked out and everything is working. Most likely Build AOKP
Just like the GT-6200 Developer Release this is a very basic preview build of CM9. That being said, if you choose to flash this build, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I am not a Dev or claim to be one, I just spent a lot of time the last few monthes learning how to build from AOSP and CM9, and figured I'd share my success with the community. I am not resposible for any one bricking their devices by not reading all the information that is all hear on XDA.
Please atleast read through this if you are a n00b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452716
And this if you are not Rooted yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532
ONCE AGAIN
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
All credit and thanks goes out to:
-Google
-The whole Cyanogen team
-aorth (for getting this moving on out TABs)
-locerra (for his quick work on the p6210 device tree & framework tweaks)
-garyd9 (for all his work on the p6210 and this forum)
-Anyone else that made this possible THANK YOU
I will try to maintain this thread as much as I can, but I have a full time job, school, family and a life
I will at the least be folowing any changes in the source code or on github and post any builds I compile.
I WILL NOT BE:
-Responding to any questions that can be found by simply searching
-Spending a lot of time helping people to get this up and running
This is what I did to get it up and running:
-Put the ZIP file on the TABs internal sd partition (NOT THE SD CARD YOU PUT IN TO THE TAB)
-Reboot into Recovery
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe cache partition
-wipe Dalvik Cache
-format /cache
-format /system
-format /data
-Install update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-p6210-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip
-Reboot and enjoy!!! Not much is working though.
What's working:
Accelerometer
Hardware-accelerated launcher
Touch input
Vibration
Physical buttons (volume + power)
Audio
What's not working:
Bluetooth
Wifi
Camera
GPS
Hardware-accelerated video
Ambient light sensor(working for the most part in new build 2)
Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?jrcehwgewyxi6kb
Any Mirrors for downloads are welcome, not sure how for the free mediafire account will go.

Hey! This is awesome, i'm glad you were able to get this running. I was gonna try to get it running, but I ran outta space on my ubuntu partition lol.
I was wondering if we could get wifi working by porting this..

Woooo yes bring it on! Great to see people chipping in and getting this off the ground! Really looking forward to seeing this finished.
Would be abysmally funny if they finish before Samsung gets their ICS out even though that circumstance is not likely to happen.

Yeah, I got it from this old post here on the general forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23262686&postcount=18
It's supposed to be from one of sony's e-book reader devices.
Good to see you up and running. Congrats! Now you guys get to work on wifi and I'll start working on telephony .

Progress on wireless... sorta.
P6200/P6210 use an Atheros 6003 wireless chip (also for bluetooth?). The open-source atk6kl driver from compat-wireless supports this chip. I found some interesting information about building this module on the HP Touchpad forum over at RootzWiki. I can compile the module, but I just can't load it.
Here's how:
1. Compile kernel:
Code:
cd ~/src/git/kernel_samsung_c210
LOCALVERSION="" ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="/home/aorth/src/android-ndk-r7b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-" make -j8 zImage
2. Compile compat-wireless
Code:
cd ~/src/compat-wireless-3.3-2-n
./scripts/driver-select ath6kl
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="/home/aorth/src/android-ndk-r7b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-" KLIB=~/src/git/kernel_samsung_c210 KLIB_BUILD=~/src/git/kernel_samsung_c210 make -j4
But attempting to insert the resulting modules spits out errors like:
Code:
# insmod compat.ko
insmod: can't insert 'compat.ko': invalid module format
# dmesg | tail -n3
<4>[ 365.244149] load_module: umod=4015c000, len=1311485, uargs=01a1f008

I need to learn to compile a kernel. Where did you get the kernel from and where did you get the toolchain/cross compiler from? Is it the one inside the cyanogen repo or codesourcery or what?
Sorry if the dumb questions, but I'm just getting started/interested in kernels

The kernel we are currently using is the one at https://github.com/ohanar/kernel_samsung_c210, however, in the long run we should move over to https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210, although this is currently broken for our devices (so we need to fix it ).

Yeah, you're right. It's likely the same ath6kl driver, though, as compat-wireless is where the mainline kernel gets linux-wireless-next (and smdk4210 kernel is based on mainline, or at least will be soon... it might be based on origen board kernel right now, see OpenGalaxy).
btw, this module loading issue isn't strictly a wireless issue. I can't load j4fs or scsi_wait_scan either. I swear I loaded these once before, recently...

[GUIDE] How to Build CM11 for the HTC One M8 (082714)

How to Build CM11​
for the HTC One M8
by bracketslash​
Requirements:
Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit) up and running. Minimum specs: 150GB Hard Drive, 4GB RAM, 2.5GHz processor
Patience
(Actual build requirements: http://source.android.com/source/building.html)
Installing the Necessities:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex git gnupg gperf libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre phablet-tools pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev
Setting Up our Work Directory:
Code:
mkdir -p /home/<USER>/android/system
Getting Started
Code:
cd /home/<USER>/android/system
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "your name"
repo sync
Now, wait a day. It'll take a long time.
Once it's done, we need to add TheMuppets' proprietaries:
Code:
mkdir /home/<USER>/android/system/.repo/local_manifests
Create and edit /home/<USER>/android/system/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Put this inside it:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="git://github.com/TheMuppets/" name="muppeteer"/>
<project name="proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="muppeteer" />
</manifest>
Now, run repo sync again
Code:
repo sync
This will run much faster...It doesn't have to download anything this time EXCEPT for the proprietaries we told it to catch.
Once that is done, we continue with the build:
Code:
cd /home/<USER>/android/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd /home/<USER>/android/system
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 75G
export USE_CCACHE=1
source build/envsetup.sh && time brunch m8
Now, just wait. When it is finished, the zip will be in /home/<USER>/android/system/out/target/product/m8/ in the form of cm-11-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-m8.zip and cm-11-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-m8.zip.md5sum
The md5sum is what you give to people so they know they're in good shape with the right file before flashing.

Built my first CM based ROM!
Thanks again for the tutorial!
One step you may want to include is downloading repo command and adding it to path after you download build essentials.
And I am not sure on this but I run Oracle Java so you may want to put a reference to having Oracle java preloaded.
EDIT: Ooops, no sounds. Was there a vendor step missed?

No sound definitely wasn't something that I had to deal with! I'm not sure on that one.
Also, I have installation instructions listed to install openjdk so that is what can be used to install it.
Additionally, I don't think that I ever installed repo manually. I ran `which repo` and it showed up in /usr/bin/ and I definitely never put it there myself!
Edit: However, if anyone does have issues with repo, Google's official instructions are here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

That could be...I guess there could be an issue somewhere along the m8 nightlies that caused the issue as I only do dirty flashes. If it's a huge widespread change, maybe I could be missing it? Food for thought. Let me know what you find, regardless! :cyclops:
I was set up for AOSP by the book. It required a different set of build tools and java. And you are correct, Repo was there when I installed your build tools.
Looks like the Google AOSP maintainers and writers could take note of how you have this set up :good:

Glad to hear that we found a consistent way of doing it!! Downloading the repo executable seemed like an unnecessary step, so it being automagically included with the build tools as instructed seems pretty convenient...The way I see it, the more people building, the more the opportunity for someone great to rise to fame with an awesome ROM.
@scrosler looks like cm committed something that broke audio in the 8/29 nightly so you probably had it synced correctly the 1st time. To fix the no audio for now you can flash project era.

Now here is a legit question...
How can I revert back to a specific nightly build.
With AOSP I specify a version, not a date in my manifest info.
What would be the key to doing that in CM11? How can I specify a specifc date to revert my local repo too?

CM specific pre-builts aside, the build tools are also perfect for pure AOSP.

How to build the kernel for your Huawei P9

Huawei have helpfully released the kernel source for the Huawei P9 on their download site. Impressively, the version posted there (3.10.90) actually matches the current release build (B136). However, the download itself is only part of the puzzle - it's important to then know how to compile it and use it. Hence this guide.
Some points to note first of all...
This guide refers to building on Linux. You can probably build on OSX or whatever too but seriously, it's less pain in the long run to spin up an Ubuntu VM.
In the download linked above, as well as the kernel, there are some other bits and pieces (some of which are quite bizarre). I've mirrored the kernel to Bitbucket, so you don't need to grab the whole download.
Got that? OK, so here's a step by step on how to build the kernel! I strongly recommend building stock first and testing that works for you, then you can start adding your tweaks in. I'm interested to hear what you add / change!
Open a terminal window on your Linux machine / in your Linux VM. No GUIs here. Change to the directory where you want the kernel / toolchain to live.
First of all, we're going to clone the toolchain from AOSP.
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9
Next we're going to clone the kernel source itself from my git repo on bitbucket.
Code:
git clone https://gitlab.com/paulobrien/android_kernel_huawei_p9.git kernel
We need to add the toolchain location to the path.
Code:
export PATH=$(pwd)/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin:$PATH
We need to specify that we are cross compiling for arm64.
Code:
export CROSS_COMPILE=$(pwd)/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
Let's create a directory for our output to go in to.
Code:
mkdir out
We've got the kernel downloaded, so let's change to that directory so we're ready to go.
Code:
cd kernel
A bit of cleaning up before we get started...
Code:
make ARCH=arm64 O=../out mrproper
Specify that we're building for the P9 (hisi3650 chipset)...
Code:
make ARCH=arm64 O=../out p9_extracted_defconfig
And build it!
Code:
make ARCH=arm64 O=../out -j8
When this process completes, we can check the '../out' directory and you should find the file arch/arm64/boot/Image. This is the kernel that you've just built! You can't flash it as is though, you need to put it into a boot image first.
Here's how you do it...
Change out of the kernel directory back to its parent.
Code:
cd ..
Download tools for manipulating the boot image.
Code:
git clone https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools.git
Download the stock boot image (actually we're using the root ready version for convenience).
Code:
wget -O boot.img http://nigella.modaco.com/files/boot.stock.huaweip9.b136.img
Extract the boot image.
Code:
mkbootimg_tools/mkboot boot.img boot.extracted
Copy the new kernel into the extracted boot folder.
Code:
cp out/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz boot.extracted/kernel
Build a new boot image.
Code:
mkbootimg_tools/mkboot boot.extracted boot.newkernel.img
You now have a new boot image (boot.newkernel.img). All that's left is to flash it to your device! Reboot to bootloader (either using 'adb reboot bootloader' or by powering on with volume down held), flash using 'fastboot flash boot boot.newkernel.img' and then reboot using 'fastboot reboot'. Job done! In the About screen of settings you should see the date of the new kernel and details of your build machine.
And I've just discovered the stock kernel compile isn't seeing my SIM card. Helpful.
P
SIM issue fixed, instructions updated.

A good start for this device. I hope we will see more devs soon in this section.
@paulobrien
What's your take on the Kernel sources. The Kernel sources from Huawei have been always a great mess for me.
So...does this actually mean custom ROMs on the P9 after all?? Hot damn I cross my fingers (having just received the phone, which is amazing)

Honestly, a full stock ROM like CyanogenMod is still a long way off and by no means guaranteed, it'll need someone dedicated and skilled to pick it up.
Every little helps though!

It certainly does! This stuff just got even more interesting I could definitely be satisfied with "just" a custom stock kernel ROM. Coming off an old Z3, I had great fun with SLiM ROMs, Existenz etc.:good:
I think we'll definitely see custom stock based ROMs, with bloat stripped and kernel updated amongst other optimisations.

SO TRUE! I remember when I purchased my first Huawei device (Honor 6) and I downloaded it's kernel sources. The sources didn't even compiled. And I just stared at the screen printing loads of C errors (unsigned variables, Wunused variable, etc.). At that time, the sources weren't even complete. They had some files missing. So, I couldn't even fix them. Today, the sources are better. I downloaded P8 Lite's and 4C / 4X Marshmallow sources, compiled them and flashed the kernel. The kernel worked out of the box with eveything working (no SIM, WiFi, related issues).
About Custom ROMs, Cyanogenmod isn't possible but AOSP is. (Do you know currently 5 Huawei Kirin devices have AOSP builds which boot successfully, P8, P8 Lite, 4C, 4X and P8 Lite; the ROM boots but obviously many things don't work especially the RIL). Also, many people don't know that HiSilicon Kirin 620 has official AOSP support (the reason why 4 out of the above 5 mentioned devices have AOSP). The problem is that immense hardwork and loads of patches are needed to make them stable which unfortunately no developer wants to put in. But have faith, the future might be bright for Huawei devices.

Kernel Source != Custom ROM. In fact, sometimes you can build a ROM around a stock boot.img and not have to use a custom kernel at all. But having sources for the Kirin chipset always helps.

Honestly though, it would be amazing to have this feature. Maybe it's possible to enable it without kernel mod though, all the entries in build.prop and hw_easywakeupmotion_config.xml are there and you can get the option in the motion control menu, but when you enable it, it doesn't actually work
