[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.

I completely abandoned my attempts at building kernels. Sorry.
I'll leave it to the vets

I would also like to give it a go, wonder if there is anyone that can give me advice. I have sync repo but can not for the life of me find where the new kernel sources are.

Thanks for the quick reply, I think I have repo sync'd and also done
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/samsung.git
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.

Thank you very much, will try to git clone https://bitbucket.org/KalimochoAz/samsung-kernel-3.git

sigh.. this is hard,
Code:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/KalimochoAz/samsung-kernel-3.git
Cloning into samsung-kernel-3...
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 502
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I am guessing maybe the server is down or something? because git clone worked for me when testing
git clone git://github.com/git/hello-world.git

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.

[WIP][DEV][4.1] Jelly Bean 4.1 Source ROM - SIMPLIFIED (7/13/12)

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:

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.

Upload kernel, vendor and device tree.
Nice im going to try this app. I normall see guide that tell the basic stuff. Those guides and in how easy it is to upload the device tree files to master on github. And they tell how to add ore remove some files I get that.!
I have a device tree in master that is cm9. I want to upload a nother device tree to cm 10.2 and 11 using the terminal.
Here is my github: https://github.com/Frank77GLD/android_device_YG_m805_892x
For now i used a option in github to copy the cm9 project files to the cm10.2 github tree. I did have to change most files in cm10.2
My cm11 device tree is still empty. What should be the right way to upload my cm11 project files to the cm11 device tree?
This year i made a github with kernel files. 1 with vendor files and a device tree. I did have the problem that files got uploaded in the wrong device tree. Vendor files went in the kernel tree and the kernel files wint in like the devie tree. How to logon to the right device tree ore log out ore use the right command in my terminal? Im a bit scared when i upload files that they will go in the wrong device tree. I hope you're app can help out.

Can any one please attach the app because i can't download it From play stre

Thanks for this! Just in time for my in-laws' Christmas party. Something to read and learn while everyone else has fun. This is something that I have looking for.

Just to let you know you guys. This app has been featured on xda headlines.

Copied include folder from https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_xiaomi_cancro
Edited AndroidBoard.mk with an "#alterbang" section with dir creation and patched files copy
Edited BoardConfig.mk with TARGET_SPECIFIC_HEADER_PATH := $(LOCAL_PATH)/include
Added "#alterbang" section with missing files to proprietary-files.txt, and removed a couple files.
BONUS: i have added a script "extract-files-from-miui-zip" to extract files from a miui.zip file (like the roms over at xiaomi.eu) so you can extract them without having to flash miui to your phone
ANY COMMENT OR COLLABORATION IS WELCOME
It's the first time i work actively with CM, so have mercy on me
I created this project because i believe in collaboration and openness, so get your hands dirty!
Thank you!

Wow, awesome work!!
I'm not a dev, but I build CM 12.1 for klimtlte and CM 13 for mako (before I got my shiny new Mi 4c ...).
Double thumbs-up for your work on the extract-files-from-miui-zip.sh. Have you thought about uploading the files to TheMuppets github? Would make it even easier to build, and aries and cancro are already there.
Also I like that you shared your findings and how you got it to work and what you used to get it to work, much appreciated!! This is the way to do it in my opinion!
I very much like the idea of running my own build on my phone, however I am not sure if I should put too much effort into 12.1 any more with all the nice CM13 roms getting better and better (Team Superluminals cm13 builds work great on my phone) ... I will keep an eye on your github, though, and might ask your for your local manifest in the future
Again, you did great work so far!
Oh, one mroe thing: Whats the state of SELinux with your build? Is it permissive? Or did you or xiobai have an enforcing SELinux working?

Thank you muff99!
As for your question: i saw SELinux permissive removed in the mk files, but i don't know if that's enough. I'll let you know!
For Marshmallow / CM13: the idea is to do the same thing also for that branch

Hey !
Somebody could explain me what are the differences of this version between the Xiaobi one ?

You can compile this to yourself, you can take part of the development with this tree.

Hi,
I'm new in building ROM, so i'm trying to build rom but it seems local_manifest.xml needed ?! Where i can found it?!
Thx in advance

I am trying to put together a cm 13 build, this is how my local manifest looks so far:
Code:
<manifest>
<remote name="ghub" fetch="git://github.com/"/>
<!-- <project name="thune-xiaobai/android_device_xiaomi_libra.git" path="device/xiaomi/libra" remote="ghub" revision="cm-13.0"/>-->
<project name="xiaomi-dev/android_device_xiaomi_libra.git" path="device/xiaomi/libra" remote="ghub" revision="cm-13.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="ghub" revision="cm-13.0"/>
<project name="AndropaX/proprietary_vendor_xiaomi_libra" path="vendor/xiaomi/libra" remote="ghub" reviSion="master"/>
...
</manifest>
It seems like Xiaobai is not using his thune-xiaobai Github any more, but he is contributing to xiaomi-dev, so I chose that device tree as did @alterbang.
@dexxa05:
Thnx! You sure the dev roms are a good source? After this locked-bootloader news I am hesitant to use dev rom files ...
Got until this one:
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/freddi/android/system/out/target/product/libra/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/usr', needed by `/home/freddi/android/system/out/target/product/libra/dt.img'. Stop.
Seems like @alterbang ran into this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-...12-1-mi-4c-t3226541/post64204905#post64204905
Which dependencies did you add to fix this?
Oh btw, I dont wanna hijack your cm 12.1 thread to talk about cm 13 ... should I open another thread?
UPDATE: Oh I just saw all the stuff that you did to your device tree in /include, have to work through that ... cancro already has cm13, looks like there is even a kernel source.

that is just a missing dir, search my repo and yes please open a new thread! so we can start together on cm13

How did you init your repo? You have to do it like this, I guess:
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1
Also, check the "revision" attribute in your .repo/local_manifests/*.xml files, it should be "revision="cm-12.1" " for you

Ok, now updated to 16.1.14

Great job AndropaX

Where you got kernel sources for mi4c?

Nowhere, i'm still using a prebuilt kernel...
We're still waiting for Xiaomi to comply to GPL.
And unfortunately nothing seems to indicate that's happening soon.

Updated the first post with the flashable zip

Is it possible to have the snapdragon camera on cm12.1?
