I am a linux user...
Anyone can share the howto or if there are any guides?
+1 bumping this thread
Second that...

He seems to have a script to compile the Kernel...
I don't know to what extent this would help us but it is a start. I dont quite know how the apps are installed on a new ROM....
It would be nice if someone can explain what is needed and what is optional in the kernel and some of the mods that other people are doing and how they integrate in the OS.
I see a lot of improvements in the new ROM's but no how-to on doing it your self. I thought that was the point of having open source OS.
I would quite like this as well =o)
Have made a bit of a start by following this:
http://source.android.com/download
Shows you how to get all the code and do a build.
I believe the next thing would be to pick the required files from the output folder of the build, dump the boot.img and replace the kernel with 32B or 32A one, add the Magic model config file (to ramdisk) and recreate the boot.img
Replace/Add any modules required like maybe wifi or bluetooth, then need to change the build.prop file and put it all in to update.zip and sign the file.
Haven't had time to test this out but seems kind of logical...maybe?
Hello!
I'm following the android.com tutorial, but I want to ask: how can I download the donut branch? There's no mention in the entire site about it... Also, the cyanomod's multitouch and so on, where does it come from? Is it made by himself or it's somewhere in the net?
Thanks
Learn how to use GIT to get the donut branch from here: http://android.git.kernel.org/
Proble is that it doesn't specify the donut project path
Is there a command to list all project paths? I can't seem to find it

Code:
git branch -a
in any local git directory
Ok, then so far I've downloaded the donut branch, and compiled too. What now?
1. how to create a ROM from the made files?
2. how to compile the kernel / how to replace the one created with the make command with the one I'm running on?
3. is there any option I can configure to fit my phone? (HTC Magic 32A)
4. how can I root my ROM?
thanks
there is this guide that i have found:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2009/08/build-configuration-for-t-mobile.html
'make' finished with success but i can't find how to transform it into 'update.zip' file...
anyone?
It says that in the link you have posted yourself.
ok guys i am trying to compile Launcher2 from source i am running ubuntu 9.1, with eclipse(for jave ee) 3.5.1 and adt installed. i have downloaded the source from google. Launcher2 though is not sent when syncing repo, so i got the Launcher2 source from cyanogen. As far as i figure unless i missed something i should be able to click file > new project > android project. this brings up a window, click the bullet load from source choose the directory where Launcher2 is and choose API level 7 then click finish. it loads with 2 errors, cannot compile until build paths are fixed and that the folder "gen" isn't there. "gen" is an auto-generated folder by eclipse that follows after the source code to fix those errors, you either make a change or delete the gen folder. since the gen folder is auto-generated deleting it just forces the gen folder to be remade to make the compiler happy. when that happens approximately 184 errors occur(they were there all along) the gen files were just hiding them.
what i am trying to figure out is what i need to do to get this to compile? am i missing a step in the process? am i missing something? i've been banging my head against this wall for about 2 weeks looking for every possible angle that i can think of including putting Launcher2 into it's respective folder made by git and running make. it errored out. i'm at a loss and any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
i would like to add, this is straight from cyanogens github no modifications and no changes. also no modifications or changes to any files aquired by repo. i'm just trying to compile a "stock" Launcher2, once i am able to compile that i will rercompile with any changes i might want to make.
Im newish to building Android, regardless im trying to obtain the JellyTime sources.
Ive read through the Android development/building documents, and checked out/built the vanilla sources. (also had success in building AOKP)
However, when it comes to jellytime I cant find the manifest file for use with "repo init". Ive found the https://github.com/randomblame repository, but there is no manifest there. I figured that randomblame's packages replaced the packages in cynogenmod manifest with the same name, and hacked together my own manifest file, but this did not work as the build process complained of missing dependencies.
Id be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction?
I copied my cm10 source to another directory to clean my pc. But now this code is not working. giving me lots of make errors and I've fixed a few files by changing the permissions. I did a repo sync but it didn't solve anything but downloaded 2 more GB -_- any help on how to get this source working?
Hi guys,
i'm currently owning a XZs and (i know it has a separate forum) i have trouble compiling AOSP for my xperia.
Since this subforum is a bit larger, maybe some of you can give me a hint. After i put the downloaded vendor folder in my repo and sync it
it get errors VQZip.h not found. This header is nowhere on my system as well the repo.
if i remove the folder /hardware/qcom/msm8998 folder, i can compile it but it does not boot.
I think that the vendor folder interferes with some headers from this folder. I'm following the official build guide and cannot see where i'm wrong.
Thank you for any help guys and also sorry for spamming your forums.
repo got updated today.
You can delete this thread.
