[GUIDE]Compile AOKP JB for Pico - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hey guys,I am here to show you how to compile AOKP JB for Pico.
Currently there is no AOKP JB device tree that will work.But this will help in future if someone is interested.
What you need:
Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 (64bit,will not work on 32bit)
Terminal
Decent hardware (at least 4GB RAM and dual-core CPU)
Required packages
Attention
Brain

Installing the packages
Just copy-paste this in terminal:
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc pngcrush

Setup Java
In terminal,copy-paste this:
add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
apt-get install oracle-java6-set-default
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Google repo tool and sync the source
-Google repo tool
mkdir ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now reboot your computer.
-Sync AOKP source
mkdir ~/aokp_jb
cd ~/aokp_jb
repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb
repo sync
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now get a coffe,or two,or three...or go to sleep.Will take some time.
After repo sync:
-Setup the vendor tree
Download the vendor tree and extract proprietary folder in archive to /aokp_jb/android/system/vendor/htc/pico (create the folders manually)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Setup the device tree
Here is the problem.Currently the device tree will just not compile.Devs could help.Isn't really hard,need to modify the CM10 device tree.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Setup the kernel source
Download the kernel 3.0 source and extract files and folders in archive to /aokp_jb/android/system/kernel/htc/pico (create folders manually)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download links in 2nd post
Now you are ready to build.
Copy-paste this in terminal
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch aokp_pico-userdebug -jX
replace x with your cpu cores number +1-2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now go out with friends.If you succesfully got a build,locate the build in /aokp_jb/android/system/out
I make this guide for people who want to compile AOKP JB .I don't have this device anymore but I could help for device tree.

now that's what I call an excellent first post
well done +1
not working
unable to execute the binary file. did chmod on the file.. still not working. is the binary from 64bit linux os?. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 32bit version..
See d following output:
$ ./CM_tool
bash: ./CM_tool: cannot execute binary file
$ sudo chmod a+x CM_tool
$ ./CM_tool
bash: ./CM_tool: cannot execute binary file
Yes this is a 64bit binary.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I can build this tool for 32bit systems but the problem is that this tool config all your OS to be ready to build AOSP so i think that to build AOSP in 32bit you need some other deb packages, i will work on this and port this APP to 32bit but i cant test it because i only have 64bit systems here @ my home. I will work on this tomorow and when its complete i will post it here for tests.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I've just checked in AOSP website...
"For Gingerbread (2.3.x) and newer versions, including the master branch, a 64-bit environment is required. Older versions can be compiled on 32-bit systems."
So there is no point in porting this to 32bit unless some one explain me how to set up ubuntu 32bits to build AOSP 2.3.x+.

[Q]Source for AOKP ICS/JB

Guys, can someone help me with syncing source for AOKP ICS/JB??
JB preferred...
Also, a link on how to add it to my laptop.. I am new at compiling.. Currently I'm syncing the repo for CM9, acc to the tutorial made by sakindia123...
I found a few tutorials on XDA & google, but they didnt make sense to me.. Maybe someone can help me in a simpler language..
Thanks...
hi m8........
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31166-tutorial-so-you-want-to-build-aokp-jb-ubuntu-1204/
the "Add directory for repo binary to your path" you need to have terminal open and type:
Code:
gedit ~/.bashrc
then add the line:
Code:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
the "Start the build" section you need the device tree and vendor and adjust them accordingly (can use sakindia`s or lirokoa`s device tree with changes)
if you need anymore help with it, just post

I have done the stuff upto editing bashrc...I tried to sync CM9 source, but it gave me some errors, so I cancelled it.. Plus I'm getting single digit download speeds with syncing.. But thats not my concern.. My question is, how to sync device specific code?? For eg, if I want AOKP(or lets say CM10, would be easier for me) for Pico, would I have to first sync the whole AOKP/CyanogenMod JB repo, and then use the device tree?? I tried to clone sakindia's cm10 github, but that was only around 56 mb.. So i sensed some incomplete work on my end..
Could you provide a simple language tutorial?? On using github and syncing repos?? I tried the one given in the android software hacking forum... But its way too advanced for me..
Also, about the packages needed before doing anything.. are they supposed to be common, or do i need different packages for different roms??
And you can keep more than one repo synced up right?? Like cm9 n cm10 together, on the same hard drive??

Linux, ubuntu,debian and backtrack 5 on android [mytouch 4g]

SO, I WAS READING ( as i always do) AND CAME ACROSS A GROUP OF DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE MANAGED TO GET UBUNTU,LINUX,BACKTRACK 5 AND OTHER OS's TO RUN ON ANDROID.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT U DONT HAVE TO FLASH IT AS A ROM OR ANYTHING. AND IT ALSO DOESNT MESS UP YOUR ANDROID SYSTEM. ITS WORKS LIKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE, TO BREAK IT DOWN IT RUNS ON TOP OF YOUR ANDROID OS JUST LIKE ANY APPLICATION WOULD DO. BUT IT NEEDS A KERNEL THAT SUPPORTS LOOP DEVICES.(Dont really know what that is)
I PERNSONALLY TRIED IT ON THE MYTOUCH 4G AND IT WORKS VERY WELL, ONLY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWNESS (that happens when u have lots of apps running in the background.) SO I SUGGEST YOU RUN IT AFTER A REBOOT.
I TESTED IT ON THESE ROMS AND KERNELS
ROM KERNEL
***DARK UNICORN RESURECTED**** ****COMB_KERNEL_WOB****** (dont know about the rest of thier kernels).
***PACman_GLACIER v22.0.1********* ************3.0.66_CODERZS_KERNEL_2************
*****CYANOGENMOD 7.2*************** ************ COMB_KERNEL_WOB*****
THERE MIGHT BE OTHER ROMS AND KERNELS THAT MIGHT WORK. SO YOU HAVE TO TEST THEM AND FIND OUT.
NOW HERE IS A LINK TO THE WEBSITE
[[ http://linuxonandroid.org/ ]]
FOR IT TO WORK YOU WOULD HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LUNCH APP (Its an APK file). THEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE OF YOUR CHOICE BEING IT UBUNTU, LINUX,DEBIAN,BACKTRACK5 ETC....
FOR DOWNLOADS, YOU CAN VISIT THESE SITES:
FOR THE APK OR THE LUNCH APP VISIT
HERE: [[ http://sourceforge.net/projects/lin...omplete_Linux_Installer_08012013.apk/download ]]
OR

FOR THE IMAGES YOU CAN VISIT
HERE: [[ http://linuxonandroid.org/downloads/ ]]
OR FOR SPECIFIC IMAGES, YOU CAN VIST THESE SITES
NOTE: SOME OF THE OS's HAVE CORE,SMALL AND FULL IMAGES. THE CORE IMAGES, WELL CONTAIN THE CORE FILES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF APPS INSTALLED.(I wont post the link for the core images but if you want it visit the link posted above). THE SMALL IMAGE HAS LIMITED SOFTWARES PRE-INSTALLED WHILES THE FULL HAS MANY OR A WIDE RANGE OF SOFTWARES PRE-INSTALLED.

THATS ABOUT IT FOR THE IMAGES FOR NOW.
NOTE: FOR THIS TO WORK ROOT IS NEED AND A FULL INSTALLATION OF BUSYBOX AND TERMINAL EMULATOR AND ANDROID VNC VIEWER. AND ALSO, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS, I AM JUST HELPING OUT SO THAT PEOPLE CAN KNOW ABOUT IT.
HELP IS GIVEN IN THE APK. SO HOW HARD CAN IT BE
SO I THINK THATS ALL FOR NOW GUYS.
IF I HAVE HELP YOU, PLEASE USE THE THANKS BUTTON.

Sure. Go ahead and try. its nice. And after messing around with it you would like it.
And most of its commands work on android in the terminal emulator.

You have to open the terminal in Ubuntu. Then u type
"sudo -s" (it would ask for your password, enter it.)
Then type
"iwlist scan"
It would give you a whole number of interfaces. But WiFi should be on "p2p0".
Or u can type
"sudo -s"
"iwlist p2p0 scanning"

Its because your current kernel doesn't support loop device. You have to flash a new kernel. If you are using a mytouch 4g, and you using a non sense ROM, you can flash coderz 3.66 kernel or try other kernels.

I guess its the scripts that comes with the app,these same scripts are the ones which launches the backtrack distro. I personally faced some problems with the new scripts but i have the old version which works fine on my device. I would try uploading it or you could search for an old version of the apk.

Do you have busybox installed??

here is the boot extracted folder
which is having the ramdisk folder in sbin
you have to covert that folder into ramdisk.cpio
and if you have any other xperia L kk kernel compare the permissions of that cpio file with them.i guess the permissions also effect the booting
also i can provide you the files i edited if you can somewhat replace them directly inside the cpio without extracting it? :\
becuase the permissions are the main issue i am getting :\
EDIT:
Here are the files i have edited basically
init.rc and init.environ.rc
if you find it easier you can also replace both the files in any kk kernel
http://d-h.st/m6ix
http://d-h.st/Tb0j
see whatever suits you better or is easier for you
thankyou

here is the boot extracted folder
which is having the ramdisk folder in sbin
you have to covert that folder into ramdisk.cpio

inside the ramdisk folder most probably
though i have very less knowledge about source building
but it should be present in the ramdisk/sbin/ramdisk.cpio
here will be the 2 files
edit them then build the .cpio and then build the kernel

the first link i gave you has all the files
you just need to make a cpio of the ramdisk folder in it
and then repack the boot.img

well you din't pack it correctly
firstly ramdisk.cpio need not contain sbin and other folders
it should only have ramdisk folder contents
and the ramdisk folder directory should also not be present
see the image attached
ramdisk.cpio should just have the contents of ramdisk folder only
not even the directory
so that as soon we open the cpio file
we get all that is shown in image
the link i gave you move inside sbin/ramdisk/
now pack all the content present here in ramdisk.cpio not the rest
just use that ramdisk folder
here use this link
extract it and it will contain just the ramdisk folder
now put the files in the ramdisk folder in cpio file
