Ok this may be a stupid question but if
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ contains the AOSP source code
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/ contains the kernel source code
what does https://android.googlesource.com/device/ contain?
Aside,
1) In the https://android.googlesource.com/device/, what does the branch ics-plus-aosp contain?
2) When I download https://android.googlesource.com/device/generic/goldfish/ ics-plus-aosp it only contained a single folder, audio, why is that so? I would have expected something like the aosp, etc...
Can a mod help me to move this to android Q & A, thanks.
bump
I believe it is device specific code

Hi,
Altough this is just the skeleton of it, let me share what I've set up until now.
I've also started a dedicated Google group here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!members/renesas-emev-osp
Anyone interested in contributing to develpment, plesae join!
1) Android
https://github.com/ffxx68/Renesas-device_emev
This is the entry-point to the GitHub repositories where I would put all the modification to the AOSP code which are specific to the Renesas EMEV for our Open Source Project.
Have a look at the README for further details and follow the progress, or open discussions, on our Google group.
2) Kernel
https://github.com/ffxx68/RenesasEV2-BSPGB-Kernel
This is the public GitHub repository for the 2.6.35.7 Kernel source code. It is customized to emxx code and it includes for the moment only the LCD patch that is necessary for the most common tablet (the kernel base code is aimed at the development board instead).
Same as above, anyone can contribute directly here.
3) Bootloader
https://github.com/ffxx68/RenesasEV2-bootloader
This is the public GitHub repository for the bootloader source code. It includes a patch for the 4 DDR tablet models.
I don't expect this to be changed much, but anyone can contribute directly pushing new files over here too.
4) Packaging
Some more details about how to wrap-up a fresh build and make a firmware for the tablet are found in the README mentieod above.
I've managed to boot Android from an SD card (see here: https://github.com/ffxx68/Renesas-BootSD) and I think a similar approach should be followed, at least for initial testing.
Kind of late to the party, but I'm really interested in this project... I applied to the Google Group, but I notice that the EV2 AOSP page you listed is gone... is there a specific reason for this? I would really love to contribute to this.
Hi, and welcome aboard!
I have edited a couple links above, which have changed a bit since then.
Thanks
I'm facing a problem with the touchscreen driver, which I have filed in the group list as well:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/renesas-emev-osp/smcwddwvNDo
(answer over there, if possible).
I can't understand why the driver for the touchscreen (found in drivers/input/touchscreen/pixcir_i2c_ts.c) is not loaded during the kernel init stages.
The touchkeys driver (ekt2201) is very similar in code structure and it's loaded as expected, while the _probe function of the PixCir is never called. This is the fragment from the dmesg kernel log:
...
<4>ekt2201_init
<4>ekt2201_i2c_ts_probe
<6>input: ekt2201 as /devices/i2c-0/0-0010/input/input0
<4>ekt2201:i2c_add_driver 0
<4>emxx_tsixcir_i2c_init
<4>emxx_tsixcir:i2c_add_driver 0
...
Note as the input device is created for the ekt2201 as the _probe is called, while the same doesn't happen for the pixcir.
Anyone with a clue?
thanks
Hi,
if anyone's interested in testing an experimental, pre-alpha version of the Open Source GB and Kernel build, leave a message here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/renesas-emev-osp/Mmd8r-YMaNo

I am looking to build my own kernel for my AT&T Skyrocket (2.6.35.11 - I727UCLA3). I want to find the default kernel code, try to build the default code and install it before I make modifications to it.
I found these files on the samsung opensource site:
https://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SGH-I727
There is:
SGH-I727_NA_Opensource_Update1.zip
SGH-I727_ATT_Opensource.zip
SGH-I727R_Opensource.zip
I think that I want SGH-I727_ATT_Opensource.zip. Two questions though. What is Update1 and do I need that? Also, I expected there to be multiple files for each kernel release of the Skyrocket, however there is only 1. Is this the most recent 2.6.35.11 I727UCLA3 kernel?
One last thing. Are there any good mirrors for these files? The Samsung Open Source site is painfully slow and my downloads stop very quickly after starting.
Thanks a bunch.
Greetings Everyone.
I've searched this forum, but I didn't found any post related to this theme. My aim is to compile non "kernel/common" android's source code, in order to replace the applications inside the Android device (such as SG sIII). I've seen that "kernel/common" will wuild a Kernel Image but, by the way, I don't think that this code (ie. the one you could find in "frameworks/base/core", "dalvik", "bionic") could be put inside my image. My question is: how to compile this source code? In particular, I've seen that there is an Anrdroid.mk: should I use ndk-build? Or better, Is there a way to associate the build image generated with this ulterior build?
Thanks in advance.
Hey!
Source code of Kernel and Platform files for A750FN can be found here:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=a750
Only for ARIC / ARK4
I have no idea how to use those files, but maybe someone will take care of our phone.
My Question Is How Will the Custom Rom Made From The Aosp Base??
I Really want to learn the Android Custom Rom Development.(Again I'm Telling That I'm Not asking about complier or bulid the rom). I'm asking about the source and how it is made.
I Want To Be a core member.
Giving a Guide To This Question Is Highly Appreciated!!
Thank You Guys
(t.me) is a good place, they use SDK and Android Kitchen etc.

Custom ROM sources require that the stock source code be made available to the public by the manufacturer/carrier of the device. If the stock source code for a specific device has not been made available to the public, developers can not create custom ROM source code for that specific device. Developers use the stock source code to create the custom ROM source code and then ROMs are built using the custom source they created. I think that is the answer you were really looking for. You want to know how the source code itself that the ROMs are built from is created. You aren't asking about the fruit that comes from the tree, you are asking where the tree that bears the fruit comes from. Am I right?
The only way to get custom ROMs on devices that do not have stock source code made available is to port custom ROMs from a similar device with the same architecture that does have available source code and custom ROMs made for it.

I don't think that is what they are asking.

I answered the question. If you specifically want to know how developers convert stock source code into custom ROM source code, you probably will not find that answer here. Most of the people here work with the stuff that the LineageOS team creates from stock source code after the custom ROM source code has been created, they are not part of the process involved in creating the custom source code. It is like being a construction worker, the construction worker does not create the material that he uses to build a house, someone else creates the materials and then he uses what they created to build a house. Google and the LineageOS team create the material, the developers here use what they created to build the ROMs here.
You should try going to github or the LineageOS website to ask your question.
