Appreciate the work, but there are loads of guides like this, and this is the initial part that is already covered by android.com and wiki.cyanogenmod.com
Add something more, and it'ld be better

[HOW TO]Building Kernel Source For Any Device

Hello All. I have received several requests for how to build a kernel from source so I figured I would make a guide for anyone looking.
WARNING: I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU CAUSE TO YOUR PHONE, PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, LIFE, OR CAR. YOU HAVE ALREADY ROOTED YOUR DEVICE SINCE YOU ARE READING THIS SO YOU KNOW IT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.
Now that thats over. I will walk you through how to set up a kernel building environment and walk you through building a kernel.
I.) Requirements
1.)You will need a computer. Just about any computer running linux will work, even a Virtual Machine. I will be using Ubuntu Oneiric, Server Edition for my guide. (Most commands are the same across Ubuntu Editions as well as Linux in general.)
2.)Internet Access- the faster the better
3.)Knowledge of the android kernel and what does what.
4.)The Master Branch from Google as well as the source for your device.
5.)ALOT of time.
6.)Common Sense
II.) Installing The Necessary Tools
1.)First we must download the neccesary tools.
To install java, you need to know which version of android you will be developing for.
Froyo and Lower:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main multiverse"
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main multiverse"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Gingerbread and Newer:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
2.)Next we willl download the tools needed(You need to know if you are on a 64 bit system or 32 bit.)
For 64 bit:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc
Also you must link one thing based on your Ubuntu Version:
For 10.10:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so
For 11.10:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so
For 32 bit:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc
No linking is necessary.
NOTE: You can set up CCache on either setup. However, you will not need it necessarily due to the source is not that big compared to building a rom and therefore will not take as long.http://dnssearch.rr.com/index.php?origURL=http://www.goog.gl/&r=
III.) Downloading The Source
1.)If you already have an android Directory set up, then skip this step. If not, follow these commands. (NOTE:THIS GUIDE FOLLOWS AS IF YOU USE THIS STEP. BE CAREFUL)
Code:
$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir android
$ cd android
2.)Set up your source directory.
Code:
$ mkdir source
$ cd source
$ mkdir aosp (YOUR DEVICE)_kernel repo
$ cd repo
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ./repo
$ chmod 755 repo
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/android/source/repo/
OR
$ sudo cp repo /usr/bin/repo
$ cd ../aosp
$ mkdir master
$ cd master
3.)You are now ready to grab the source. You will need the master branch. So while in the master directory:
Code:
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE SO SIT BACK AND RELAX.
4.)Now you need your specific devices source. So follow those steps accordingly to get the source into the directory for you device kernel @ $HOME/android/source/(YOUR DEVICE)_kernel
You now have all the source you need.
V.) Building The Kernel
1.)Now we will set up the environment for the build.
Code:
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILER=arm-eabi-
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/android/source/aosp/master/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
2.)Now you go into your device's kernel directory.
Code:
$ cd $HOME/android/source/(YOUR DEVICE)_kernel
3.)And begin the configuration.
If you like a gui like menu:
Code:
$ make menuconfig
If you like to answer questions:
Code:
$ make config
4.)Configure your kernel how you want it.
5.)Then, once thats done:
Code:
$ make -j4
This will build the kernel. This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour and a half+.
VI.)Grabbing The Newly Made Kernel
1.) Your kernel will be located at:
Code:
$ $HOME/android/source/(YOUR DEVICE)_kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage
2.) Your Wireless Module Will depend on your device. For the Ally, it would be:
Code:
$ $HOME/android/source/ally_kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wireless.ko
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You have built your own kernel.
Now follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748106 to flash it.
Any problems or questions, let me know. Either a PM or I'm almost always in #asus-transformer on IRC.

Gonna try this. Thanks for sharing...
Sent using my brain

Thanks for working on this. On first look, I think you intended to put a repo sync after the init command here:
3.)You are now ready to grab the source. You will need the master branch. So while in the master directory:
Code:
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE SO SIT BACK AND RELAX.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
5) Setup installing repo :
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
6) Create the working folder :
Code:
$ mkdir aokp_ics
$ cd aokp_ics
7) Download the AOKP source code
Code:
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b ics

Good tut bro ........
Still many DEVs left including u for our little pico .........
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium

thanks for the great tutorial.
how bout the fixesif got errors?
if AOKP release new build how can we update it without going all the painful 8gb downloading?
sorry noob here.. i hav linux machine here but seldom use.
so i guess i would like to learn how to build.
am looking forward also into MIUI. do you know how to build one from source ?

Do we really need to download that much???
I don't mind downloading 8 to 12 GB, but, I have frequent power fluctuations at my home... So, is there any way by which I can resume the sync-ing process...
//And, to the main question, I use a 32-bit pc. So is it ok to use? Or do I need a 64 bit one?//*never mind.
P.S: I don't seem to understand why we require 8 - 12 GB for compiling something that would be max 200 mB? Is there any reason for this? or can we reduce the download ammount or something like that?
edit: sorry people... i really didn't read the amd64 architecture requirement...

First of all you require 20GB+ for a Single build and upto 80-100 GBs for a complete set of builds.
Not just 8-12GB

Yes.. but you need to add kernel source, device tree and vendors from Sakinidia's github into manifest.xml

Please don't quote the main thread...
It makes the page kind'a long and lengthy to load and read. kindly don't quote the main thread...

[How To] Setup ABE For Compiling Android Roms From Source (CM11) UPDATED 11/1/14

Setup ABE (Android Build Environment To Compile Roms) ​
For this you tutorial you need to be running Ubuntu 13.10 64-Bit (32-Bit Will Not Work).
Does Not Matter if you are running this in a virtual machine or not. (Will work on Both)
Also I will also be showing a Guide to Syncing CM11 Repo and TamsuiCM11 Repo.
Instructions (Read Carefully):
First, let's set up the correct JDK.
Many of you probably have some kind of wrong Java installed unless you're starting with a fresh Ubuntu base, and even then maybe.
Let's get rid of that. Copy and paste this into a Terminal window:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
Follow the instructions to remove OpenJDK. If you must keep it, it's possible. But I'm not going to tell you how to do it here. I don't want any chance of confusion or mistake.
Now copy and paste the following into the Terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with 13.10. No more unrecognized Java version errors! And it will update automatically with the rest of your system.
Next, we actually need to install the package. More copy-paste:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Ok, back to a fresh Terminal prompt. Time for installing the guts to build stuff in Ubuntu:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core lzop ccache gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python gcc g++ cpp gcc-4.8 g++-4.8
When that is done installing, run the following command in your Terminal window:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
That's it on the package side of things.
You guessed it, time for more Terminal. This really is the easiest way, seriously. And it's totally worth it when you're basking in the glory of a bunch of people on XDA.
The binary for a program called "repo" will let you talk to git servers and download all that precious source code. That second part after the && allows it to be executable:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Use your favorite text editor to open ~/.bashrc
I like nano:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the very bottom, add the following line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
In the terminal, navigate to where you would like to store the Android source code. The directions below will make it in your home folder, but if you have limited space, you may want to create it somewhere else. Faster is better, i.e. SSD would be best, USB external is basically unusable. Here we go:
Code:
mkdir ~/cm11
cd ~/cm11
We will configure your information, your name and email address, In terminal type:
Code:
git config --global user.name your name
git config --global user.email your email
Now you're going to initialize the repo. Here's where you decide the flavor of Android you want to build for, ie AOKP, CyanogenMod, AOSP etc. The following, for the purposes of this tutorial, will initialize for Stable CM11:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b stable/cm-11.0
Almost there. Last step, but it's a doozy. You're going to get the source. Prepare yourself, mere mortal. 10+ GB of downloading await you. Don't worry, it's automated. Go to sleep. Eat something. Perhaps you have heard of this new thing the kids are doing called "going outside"? Yeah, I didn't think so. Me neither. The final terminal command, to be run from your android directory:
Code:
repo sync
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that is done its time to Sync TamsuiCM11 Repo:
Go into your file browser and to your username then your cm11 folder, once there press Ctrl+H on your keyboard. Go into the folder .repo and make a folder called:
Code:
local_manifests
Once done exit out of the repo folder and press Ctrl+H on your keyboard once again.
Now its time you configure the local manifest, this will download all necessary files for the devices in this forum.
Type this in terminal:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
[B]breakfast jlo[/B] (For Xperia J) [B]tapioca[/B] (For Xperia Tipo) [B]mesona[/B] (For Xperia Miro) [B]nanhu_ds[/B] (For Xperia E)
gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Now go to this link: https://github.com/TamsuiCM11/local_manifest/blob/master/tamsui.xml
Copy everything in the file into the open window of gedit hit save and close.
Go back to Terminal and type:
Code:
repo sync
This will download all necessary files, once done type the following into terminal:
Code:
cd ~/cm11/vendor/cm
. get-prebuilts
croot
Finally type:
Code:
[B]brunch jlo[/B] (For Xperia J) [B]tapioca[/B] (For Xperia Tipo) [B]mesona[/B] (For Xperia Miro) [B]nanhu_ds[/B] (For Xperia E
It will begin to build, if you run into any errors, do some research before creating tons of threads.
THANK ME IF I HELPED!

Thanks a lot for the how to. I'm just "syncing" (don't know if this is how it is said, just entered the command that downloads 10Gb) and it is doing the job! Don't know why this has only 5 "thanks", I found it very useful!!
JUST ONE QUESTION!! If I type breakfast tapioca it gives me "no such file or directory" error. If I type "tapioca_ss" it gives me no problems. Is it right?
Thanks

In your home folder, look in cm11/devices. If there's a folder called tapioca_ss, then you need to use tapioca_ss. If there's a folder called tapioca, then you need to use tapioca.
Yes, this guide is very useful, but unfortunately, you can only thank a post once (I did)!

I don't think you should do this as root; I've seen some guides that say doing so might deter the building process.
And you're welcome.

[How to][Build ZOMBI ][ TF700T ][ UBUNTU BASED 64bit]

This will guide you thought the setup of Mint. The setup of your build environment, and finely the output of a flashable CMB ROM for your 700
First anything that starts with a bullet point is just for your reference.. Do not copy these things into your bash window...
Anything that is a code is copied one line at a time into your bash window and than enter
Now Install Mint 64 bit and a PC.. We will need at least a 250 GB hard drive...
This is a work in progress so let me know if anyone has any questions...
Make sure unless it says to that you run all these commands in the home folder....

If you use fedora, you need to downgrade the java packages:
sudo rpm -ivh http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/Linux/I....7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20.x86_64.rpm http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/Linux/I...penjdk-devel-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20.x86_64.rpm http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/Linux/I...jdk-headless-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc20.x86_64.rpm --nodeps

and fix the old java to be used instead of the current one:
sudo alternatives --config java
sudo alternatives --config javac
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and select the older java for the both.
