This might be a trivial question but I dont know the answer to it. Looking for android gurus. My task is to compile android kernel and run on a pandaboard. I cannot just take the uImages there are drivers which I need to modify..
Now one way is to download every thing from AOSP by repo init... and downloading 3-4 Gb of git from day 1 of android git init. Is there a way to just get the source files for ICS. It is easy for linux just go to git.kernel.org and get the snapshot of the tag like 3.0 , is there a same git snapshot available in android ?
Any help is welcome....

Are you downloading from codeaurora?
If yes, then there are separate sections for kernels and snapshot is available too.

Nearly days I get an open souce code of i5800 and I just a new one in the compling world,so I hope someone can help me find something useful in configuring the code or some books useful.
If you have a qq number and our time are not rushed ,we can communicate in this way.(No facebook or twitter in china....How big the wall!)
My QQ number is 361180509
not sure I understood what you mean, do you have access to newer (froyo) kernel sources for I5800? if so, please do share
eclair kernel source is on opensource.samsung.com, and they compile just fine with the official Android toolkit, but Samsung's changes for Froyo are nowhere to be found (a few modules missing, touchscreen and accelerometer being the most notable), and the kernel doesn't compile anyway.

Not sure if i get you right, do you say it does, or it does not compile? If not, we should request propper sources from Samsung.
sorry,I just don't find the offical source code website before posting this.Cause I just a freshman and I haven't got my PC....
maybe I'll compile the source code later.Sorry to make these mistakes.And I'm chnese.So my english is poor.....

eclair sources compile just fine, both with my system cross-compiling toolkit (arm-android-linux-gnueabi managed on gentoo by crossdev) and with the prebuilt one that comes with the Android platform
I might give it a try to actually boot it (but I would need to construct an initramfs, and it's a lot of work, and I kinda need to get back to "proper" work, I was consumed by Android during the last 3 weeks since I got the phone )

You can use the initramfs from Eclair.. I'm assuming you're talking about 2.1.. since 2.2 sources aren't out yet for this phone.
Link for the initramfs for Eclair is here: http://www.multiupload.com/U6GB5BB3HI
This is the JK1 I think - or whatever eclair rom I posted up previously
Hi there,
as I don't have permission to write on the Unofficial Rom Project Thread, I am asking here for a GUIDE to setup a jenkins server that automatically builds ROMs for my Sensation aka Pyramid.
Is anyone here who can help me to get into the build process for the first time on an continious integration server.
What did I already did?
I have set up Java 1.6 to build a Cyanogenmod 11 and I m not sure if it should be Java 7?
I downloaded the entire sources from github. I m sorry I m not allowed to post a link.
via
so I hope that isnt the wrong way as I am following multiple guides to accomplish my target.
So I wanted to set up it all for the first time to run a compilation without jenkins then I 'm stuck at the point where I integrate the UnORom files - I only could set up a
Code:
git clone https://github.com/UnORoms/android_device_htc_pyramid.git
and then i succesfully executed
Code:
./extract-files.sh
so it downloaded a couple of files from my phone.
But when I do a
Code:
lunch
there don't exists a cm_pyramid?
So I m stuck at this point and I m politely asking for help.(Maybe to accomplish my personal goal of using a continious integration server at least
Thanks in advance for your replys
Nobody knows how to build a android rom for a specific device?
In my case the HTC Sensation?
I would be glad if there where some tutorials of implementing the necessary files into my cm11-tree.
Could anyone please give it a try?

I'm not 100% familiar with building roms, but I once compiled them completely from source for testing purposes.
Do you have device files and kernel in your local manifest to sync them from somewhere or did you take what you need from your phone? Not sure if it's required or not.
When I had everything ready I had to run
Code:
./device/htc/pyramid/repo-patcher.sh
then I could run
Code:
lunch cm_pyramid-userdebug
and it worked.
Not sure if it works same way here too, since I did that when I used Team-Sennyc2 device tree.
I would like to start with building my ROM from scratch. I have read a lot of tutorials and they're all the same: sync everything and then make otapackage or etc. The problem is: it is everything already preconfigured, you have just to build.
So my question is: can I use latest Sony kernel sources or M2Dev KitKat sources to build CM12 or AOSP Lollipop (generally to build higher version of Android)? Or maybe I would have to write it from scratch? I expect to get at least bootable ROM.
I can't tell that I'm going to start a real development, I just want to learn how stuff works.

Yeah you can use kitkat kernel sources to build lollipop with some changes here and their!!

So I am a newbie in android development. I do root phones and play around with the system but I never cooked any rom yet. Now I am desperate to build cm12 for my pico. I have set up everything as per Galaxyfreak's guide.
Now I am confused with what should I take as sources? Should I use Kirmaniarslan's sources or wait for cm to officially release?
If I take Kirmaniarslan's sources,in the init repo command what should I link to? Local manifesto, device tree or something else?
Any guide would be helpful! Thanks
So, how to build my own custom rom version ?
I want to build CM and cherrypicks some feature.
Does anyone have a guide or maybe anyone could teach me? Because i can't really follow the tutorial on CM wiki page.
Thanks a lot !
You need fairly decent specs internet and specs to compile. You can rent a linux VPS to compile to get rid of most of the headaches, or install a Linux distribution on your pc. Then you can follow https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_bacon#Build_CyanogenMod_and_CyanogenMod_Recovery if you have a Debian based Linux(Ubuntu) install, just substitute the branch in "repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1" with cm-13, if you want to build cm13 nighties. If you want to cherry go to the root of the build directory and copy and paste the commands from the cm gerrit. You can find the command under the download tab.
Hello since I'm kinda new to xda , I cant create a thread
Quick question
How can I implement kexec hardboot patch in my kernel ,
I found this kernel by the mod developer
github. com/ davidepianca98/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974-kexec
But cm-13.0 branch isn't available
https://github.com/davidepianca98/a...mmit/af5ef3d76f863f02c51cf860702b01536620ebf5 this commit tells you how to modify your kernel to implement it. You can possibly cherrypick it too.
