Hello guys i'm here with my first guide of how to build cyanmobile from source for galaxy fit ......
As you all might know cyanmobile went opensource thanks to squadzone now we can compile it from source with our own modifiactions.....
Requirements
1)Linux machine (recommended 64bit and ubuntu) with atleast 50gb free space
2)Common sense of how to use google and fix errors
3)Basic knowledge of git and its commands
4)A possibilty of bricking your fit
5)A fast and stable internet connection
now lets get started
Assuming we have linux installed
installing required build packages
from terminal
HTML:
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 sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
Note:- All the packages are important dont skip any of them
now making the directories to download the source
HTML:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
here mkdir stands for make directory
~ refers to your home folder (incase if you are a beginner)
Next
making the repo command executable
copy paste this terminal
HTML:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Reboot your system after executing this
This defines the repo command or the repo command usable on your machine
chmod is giving permissions to the folder a+x is the permissions given don't go deep into this.
Next
Downloading the source
i will be referring execute to copy pasting in the terminal
HTML:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanMobile/android_cyanmobile.git -b gingerbread
now
repo sync
alternatives
repo sync -jx
here x can be anything depends on your internet speed ther will x number of simultaneous download if you use the arguement
like if you use
repo sync -j4
There will 4 downloads going on simulatneously
Next after the source has been downloaded you will find someting like this...
syncing working tree 100
now you have the source downloaded
Preparing the build environment
install java jdk6 or jdk 5 using this tutorial
http://codingforme.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/installing-oracle-java-jdk-6-or-7-on-ubuntu-12-04/
Install the android sdk following this tutorial
http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-an-android-app-build-environment-with-eclipse-android-sdk-phonegap-ubuntu-11.04
not testsed on jdk 7 so better use 6 or 5
fix its path using "export PATH=$PATH:"ur sdk path""
ur sdk path depends on where you install it
install adb using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
Connect your phone with usb debugging enabled and execute this
preferable do this when you are on a cm based rom ..
HTML:
adb devices
if you see something like this its working for you
HTML:
List of devices attached
S5670efac482b device
now go to device > samsung > beni execute extract-files.sh as root use sudo and drag that to terminal and hit enter
now cd into the root of your source folder
HTML:
cd ~/android/system
then
HTML:
source buid/envsetup.sh
HTML:
lunch
you will see all the build properties something like this
HTML:
PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME=REL
PLATFORM_VERSION=2.3.8
TARGET_PRODUCT=cyanogen_beni
TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=eng
TARGET_SIMULATOR=false
TARGET_BUILD_TYPE=release
TARGET_BUILD_APPS=
TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv6-vfp
HOST_ARCH=x86
HOST_OS=linux
HOST_BUILD_TYPE=release
BUILD_ID=GINGERBREAD
now type make -jx otapackage
x depends on your hardware more it is faster the build
you will find the built one in out/samsung/beni /cm--xxx.zip
Flash it and enjoy

Thumbs up
Nice guide ajay :good:
Its same as the building of cyanogenmod. But to continue this thread u have to first build a copy too for promoting this and the errors while building , so start repo syncing. I am syncing the jelleybean now.
Best of luck for this thread

I'm on a low bandwidth. Can u please make a highly compressed .uha or Uharc compression package of the cyanmobile so that i can also help u in building this. not having the cm7 sources too. It cn be a grat sart for making a more modified cyanombile than squadzone.

dude this guide is for galaxy fit but u can build it for w or any device by using the tress specific for that device.
Bump
I wanna try to port this ROM to the LG e739, but I have no idea what to do at this point. I downloaded the sources, but the device tree I have from cm7.2 is just plain, it lacks everything else the other devices have and to be honest I'm overwhelmed. Any help is greatly appreciated

Ok,let's start with kernel first....
I want this guide to be n00b friendly...so lets start!
1)Install Ubuntu 10.10 or later(virtual distro may work too!)......Ubuntu coz its easy for beginners....This guide should work on Fedora distros,but u will need to download separate packages.
Use this for samsung devices:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
2)Download the source code from opensource.samsung.com
3)Open terminal and download the the necessary tools:
For 32/64 bitsi use this)
Code:
apt-get install git-core gnupg sun-java6-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev
For 64 bits ONLY:
Code:
ia32-libs lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib
4)Download the code soucery toochain:Toolchain
Note:This is an old toolchain.u may/should use a newer one...(optional)
ur machine is good to GO!
Ok,so i assume u have set up your machine
Now,all of the files should be placed in ~/Downloads (for my convinience to explain!but u may put it anywhere)
extract the sources and everything else u downloaded....then go into the top directory
Code:
cd Kernel
u enter into the root of the kernel directory with this
then type :
Code:
gedit Makefile
The Make file will open.........look out for this and change CROSS_COMPILE= "your toolchain path"
EXAMPLE:
Code:
CROSS_COMPILE ?= /home/sarthak/Downloads/Toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
This will open up the Makefile in a gedit,and the changed values will correspond to wherever u placed your toolchain................the EXTRAVERSION refers to current sub-version of your linux kernel version on ur phone
Get the config from your phone..Type:
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz
This will fetch a working config from the current kernel on your phone....u can alternatively make a new one with "make menuconfig"
Then gunzip it and copy it to to ur kernel source root:
Code:
gunzip config.gz
rename to .config
Now,make the necessary changes in your source.When you are done,type:
Code:
make -jX
,where X=no.op cpu threads multiplied by 1 or 2.
Sit down and have a smoke!
The resulting kernel will be in Kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage
MORE COMING SOON!guide unfinished

u can pick arm toolchains from Codesoucery site(google it)..
i personally use 2011.03
@bumslayer-yes it will work,but it will be slower
sakindia whats the point for this?you also try it but didnt work on flashing.so why to create unusable kernels?

novaday's virtual machines does not have significant overhead, so performance degradation is negligible. Go ahead, using vm is a good choice!
Me personally using Ubuntu inside a Microsoft Virtual PC (sometimes Oracle VM VirtualBox). My suggestion is not to use the virtual machines virtual desktop it's a bit laggy, but telnet or ssh into the virtual machine, you feel more convenient.
The only drawback, than you don't have direct USB connection to the phone. You have to transfer the files between the Linux and the phone using the host OS (eg Windows).

I wonder whether USB support would be sufficient in VirtualBox to support the SDK. some USB devices work quite well in a VM.
But i didnt understand what is use of compiling kernel?
Kernel Compiling is not easy task like making ROM.
1st you have to understand linux enverioment
2nd you have to make Android Enverioment in linux enverioment
3rd you have to sound knowledge of C
4th you have to know how to patch kernel
5th you have to be ready to brick phone (atleast your)
so better is leave kernel stuff to a developer who understand this and enjoy either stock kernel or patched kernel which developer release frequently.
I suggessing dont go for kernel compiling if you didnt know what it is.

actually i agree w/ saki. i've visited ace's and htc evo 4g. some ppl dunno how those linux things works but thy have compiled a kernel =="
We must learn ,sudnt leave the responsibility to only a few.Also I think kernel can be ported?

compile didnt take anything its just one command.
Important is patching kernel cuz without patching output will be worst then stock kernel
YEah,someone with zero knowledge wouldn't dabble into the source.....Tis guide is just a simple tut to set up the environment and compile stock zImage.
Requirements :
OS linux Ubuntu 12.04 32bits
2Gb RAM with 3Gb swap or above
Processor dual core or above
120Gb Harddisk or above
Fast internet connection ( i have no this )
First download this file
Installer SDK and Build packages by squadzone modified for me
you will get installerBuildRomGalmin.sh , run this file via Terminal on Ubuntu!
Code:
chmod a+x ~/installerBuildpackages.sh
installerBuildpackages.sh
Create the Directories
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
Install the Repository
Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.
Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j16
Device repo !
clone its
choose branch master
put on device tree or replace totoro folder on device tree
(/device/samsung/totoro)
Vender folder clone its
pu on vendor folder !
(/vendor/samsung/totoro)
Download RomManager
NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod.
Download RomManager which is needed by the build:
~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
Configure Build & Compile
Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the Galaxys2.
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch totoro
Notes :
based on tutorial for galaxy mini by squadzone
the device repo created for me ( add credits if you use its )
sorry bad english !
changelog :
1.0
-initial tutorial for cm7 galaxy y ( may need some modifications! )

Cyanogen 7/9 only get developed again when the gpu driver become released
Awesome tutorial sir...
Just one question...if we still have GPU restrictions while compiling CM7/9/10, then what is the use of the tutorial? Is there any update I should be aware of?
I'm not at all disrespecting OP's efforts...I respect him...he is doing commendable job for this device..hat's off! this question is just out of curiosity!

Yes before i reinstall ubuntu in my job because my hdd with ubuntu WMware is dead Grrrrrrrr ( i have full kitchen of Gavin kernel :/ Note 1/2) grrrrrrrrr
Ketut thanks. Will you be building a 1.2 GHz over clock stock kernel for the 10.1? Like you did for the 7"?. I would be eternally grateful.
I was also thinking about compiling a version myself. But like the others here, I am somewhat inexperienced and need some help. I have compiled kernels in the past. The part I need help with is which files and code need to be edited for over clocking.
Can you tell me which files need to be edited for overclocking?

Attached untested P5100 kernel and modules! Someone must pack it as a usable flashable zip (including a boot.img base on P5100 boot.img). You can use kkboot-0.4.1-jb-overclock-p31xx.zip as a template and source for vendor binary blob. Use it as your own risk!

[GUIDE] Compile CM from source, source basics & FAQ - Very detailed and noob friendly
Hey guys, I know there is already a tutorial about compiling CyanogenMod by sakindia123 but it requires basic Linux knowdlegde and he missed some things. I wrote this tutorial very detailed and simple.
This Guide have 4 parts:
1. How to compile CyanogenMod from source
2. Hardware Requirments and using SWAP memory
3. CyanogenMod source and device tree basics
4. FAQ

How to compile CyanogenMod from source
Lets assume you are new in Linux world and you just installed a fresh Ubuntu installation.
I will use:
- Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
- CyanogenMod 10.1 (sakindia123 device tree) - because its newest, and currently WIP, so its exciting to get new bulid with something fixed before release!
- Kernel 3.0.16 for Pico (sakindia123 github tree)
Lets get it started.
1. Open the Terminal (Press CTRL+ALT+T).
2. Get rid of administrator permissions ****.
Type:
sudo su
then type your password you set up during Ubuntu installation (password will be invisible) and hit enter

How to get vendor, kernel, and device tree - search for developers github, its ofter mentioned on dev-thread or his xda profile..
manufacturer - htc, samsung,lge...
codename - device model codename (codename you can easily find on name of github repos of device tree,vendor and kernel)
Examples:
Explorer - pico
Desire - bravo
Galaxy Mini - tass
Galaxy Mini 2 - jena
Nexus 4 - mako
For some devices, example some LGs it can be model number like LG Optimus Me - p350
10. Setup a vendor tree:
Download the vendor tree and extract proprietary folder inside <something>-master folder in archive to /CM10.1/android/system/vendor/manufacturer/codename (you need to manually create folders)
Click to expand...

Click to collapse
13. If you are building for older device you will probably need to add display legacy support, as it's dropped in CM10.1:
Download the legacy display zip and extract files and folders inside android_hardware_qcom_display-legacy-cm-10.1 folder in archive to /CM10.1/android/system/hardware/qcom/display-legacy folder (you will need to manually create folder)

Hardware Requirments and using SWAP Memory
Compiling uses alot of CPU power, but when you run out of RAM memory, you will get "Killed." error. No, you dont need to buy more RAM. You can use SWAP. Quickest and easiest way is to format USB drive to linux-swap and enable SWAP.
Less than 4GB of RAM - You will need SWAP
4GB - Just enough, but if you want to do something other on PC during compiling, its recommemend to make SWAP, just in case.
More than 4GB - You dont need SWAP.
1. Optionally, Copy your USB files to PC as a backup.
2. Go to GParted (preinstalled on Ubuntu)
3. Right-click on your USB drive -> Format -> linux-swap
4. Right-click on your USB drive -> Swap-on
5. Done!
After you are done right-click on your USB drive -> Swap-off, reformat your partition to FAT32 or NTFS and restore data you copied before (if you have any)
CyanogenMod Source and Device Tree basics
Basic source folders:
/packages - apps
/frameworks - framework (UI look)
/kernel - kernel source folder when using inline kernel buliding (can be changed in BoardConfig.mk, and I'm going to explain that later in this post)
/device - device config
/hardware - drivers for display. audio etc...
What is BoardConfig?
It's a file where you setup pathes to files and enable/disable stuff, its very easy to understand - https://github.com/sakindia123/cm10.1_htc_pico/blob/master/BoardConfig.mk
--
How to use prebulit kernel:
1. Unpack boot.img using boot image tools (check sakindia123's compiling tutorial for step-by-step unpacking boot.img)
2. Rename zimage to 'kernel'
3. Put it in any folder u like you like (example: /prebulitkernel)
4. In BoardConfig.mk add this:
TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := /prebulitkernel/kernel
and comment out these lines:
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/htc/pico
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := pico_defconfig
TARGET_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TOOLCHAIN := arm-eabi-4.4.3

Click to collapse
5. Done!
--
How to remove ringtones, video editor, CM wallpapers from bulid:
1. Go to device/releasetools/extras.txt
2. Delete anything you don't want/doesn't need. So easy
--
Where are "bulid.prop tweaks"?
bulid.prop settings is located in device/system.prop
--
What is pico.mk?
In pico.mk (device/pico.mk) you can:
- define what libs (drivers) will be compiled (PRODUCT_PACKAGES)
- add prebulits (PRODUCT_COPY_FILES)
you add them in format: path-to-file-in-source: path-to file in compiled bulid (zip),
example: device/htc/pico/prebuilt/etc/media_codecs.xml:system/etc/media_codecs.xml
- change some usb settings (ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES)
- play with some "misc" settings (PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES)
- Set default resolution (PRODUCT_AAPT_CONFIG := ... and PRODUCT_AAPT_PREF_CONFIG := ...)
I'm not an expert, If I made some mistake, feel free to report, or tell if you have something interesting I can add!
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q: What's the repository size?
A: CM9 - 4.9GB
CM10 - 9.6GB
CM10.1 - cca. 16GB
Q: Can I compile any other ROM than CyanogenMod with this tutorial?
A: Yes, you will need to, of course, repo init other repo, and maybe change few things in device tree, and probably you can skip part with adding legacy display and patching singleton.
Q: I have "_____ command not found error."
A: Make sure you done all steps, are you in right directory, and did you downloaded all packages.
Q: I have "Killed." error during compiling.
A: Check if you met have enough RAM (read 2nd post of this thread)
Q: I have any other error during compiling
A: Post your problem on this thread

Hey guys, I know there is already a tutorial about compiling CyanogenMod by sakindia123 but it requires basic Linux knowdlegde and he missed some things. I wrote this tutorial very detailed and simple.
Before we start, I would like to thank these guys:
sakindia123, derefas, lirokoa, cute_prince - for amazing work on CM7-10.1 and Kernel 3.0
Nihar G. and bhargz16 that never refused to help me
Lets assume you are new in Linux world and you just installed a fresh Ubuntu installation.
I will use:
- Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
- CyanogenMod 10.1 (sakindia123 device tree) - because its newest, and currently WIP, so its exciting to get new bulid with something fixed before release!
- Kernel 3.0.16 for Pico (sakindia123 github tree)
Lets get it started.
1. Open the Terminal (Unity Dash Search, just type terminal and hit enter)
2. Get rid of administrator permissions ****.
Type:
3. Install a needed packages:
4. Download a Google Repo tool. Type these commands:
5. Reboot your computer.
6. Initalize the CyanogenMod 10.1 repository:
7. Start source downloading (repository syncing):
9. Get Terminal Emulator prebulit APK:
10. Setup a vendor tree:
11. Setup a device tree:
12. Setup a kernel source:
13. Add display legacy support, as it's dropped in CM10.1:
14. Start compiling bulid!
Your bulid will be located at /android/out as cm-10.1-year/month/date-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip

Get that info here.. So op can add it..
Sent from my Nexus 7
first off all i dont know where to start such thread so moderate can move it to whatever place they thought of
now i had some good news and not some good news
good news is i had found complete mtk sources and compiled rom out of it succesfully
and not so good news is
sources are of 4.1.2 and im new to this so i need developers help
i'm posting the steps that i had followed for compiling
DOWNLOAD
1. download and install ubuntu if not installed already
2. download sources http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=2869617224&shareid=4195729301&third=0
3. download jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin (this worked for me)
SETTING UP MACHINE
1. open terminal and type
2.
Code:
sudo apt-get install flex bison gperf build-essential curl zlib1g-dev g++-multilib g++-4.4-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z1-dev wine mingw32 tofrodos libxml2-utils
3. after it finishes installation of required pakages type
Code:
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv gcc gcc.bak
sudo ln -s gcc-4.4 gcc
sudo mv g++ g++.bak
sudo ln -s g++-4.4 g++
4. now setup java change to directory where jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin resides and extract using
Code:
./jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin
cammand in terminal
make sure permission of jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin is executable
5. type following in terminal
Code:
gedit ~/.bashrc
and following lines to bashrc in gedit
Code:
#java Settings
export JAVA_HOME=~/toolchain/jdk1.6.0_29
export JRE_HOME=JAVA_HOME/jre
export CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JRE_HOME/lib:$CLASSPATH
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH
make sure to setup up path correctly in my case java is exracted in toolchain folder yours may differ
6 type follwing in terminal
Code:
sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.bak
sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
BUILDING ROM
1. extract sources( in my case in alps folder at home)
2. open mbldenv.sh in root directory of extracted folder and edit java path as done before
3. open terminal emulator
and type
Code:
./mk -h for all commands
and type
Code:
./mk -o=TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=user mbk77_tb_jb n
(for a complete new build of mbk77_tb_jb project)

now i request all developers to colabrate and make kitkat possible
im trying my bit but new to all this and mtk sources are complete mess
if you got any problem or error im here to help to best of my possibilities
screenshot of out folder and generated build.prop is attached

Hi
You do know that those sources aren't for MT6577 ?
They are for MT8377, a Tablet SoC , and there are a lot of diffs between MT6577 and MT8377 (mainly GPU; max RES; etc, etc )
So, just imagine the mess it would be, by working on some sources that aren't exaclly for your SoC.
Even with full sources for MT6589, the CM Builds required alot of work, and the build status are still WIP. And with a lot of things to be fixed...
B.Regards
Check these sources
