[HOWTO] Install Java 7 on Ubuntu 12.04

I'm not sure if this is in the right spot (if not I apologize), but I figure it is because this relates directly to building Android.
When I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, all the sudden I couldn't install Java (sha256sum mismatch jdk-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz), which means I can't do much deving. Well I searched through the interweb and finally found a solution.
First:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
By now, you have probably gotten an error and the terminal has stated that Java was not installed. No problem.
Second:
Download Java directly from Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u3-download-1501626.html
Now, move what you just downloaded to /var/cache/oracle-java7-installer/
Third:
Code:
sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle-java7-installer.postinst
Now scroll down and find the following:
Code:
echo "Downloading..."
rm -f $FILENAME
WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL \
|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
rm -f wgetrc
echo "Download done."
Now put a # next to each line between "Downloading..." and "Downloading done."
Code:
echo "Downloading..."
#rm -f $FILENAME
#WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL \
#|| fp_exit_with_error "download failed"
#rm -f wgetrc
echo "Download done."
Save, and go back to your terminal.
Finally, do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Java should now install properly.

Make long story short, it didn't execute commands as root? Shame on Java!
Is it working on other distroes debian based like Mint?

AFAIK you need java 6 installed to build android. Not to mention Ubuntu 12.04 is still in the final stages of beta lol.

Well for what I do java 7 is fine with me

THANK YOU SO MUCH. took me a good 2 hours to find this guide. Now I can finally install curl. wtff..

So this is for 64-bit right? That's what I'm using

[GUIDE][DEV] Compile any source built rom for your device [ULTRA NOOB FRIENDLY]

I know there are many other guides avalable regarding this, But I tried to focus on the small points also that many guides overlook
that's why I have this for you. Do let know if I have missed something or more details have to be included in case still there is a difficulty in compiling
This thread on Madteam Forums: http://madteam.co/forum/development...lt-rom-for-your-device-(ultra-noob-friendly)/
So lets start with simple things
Basic FAQ:
Q: What is a Source built rom?
A: Source Built Roms are roms that are compiled from source on a Linux Platform! They are not themed manually.
Q: How do we build these type of roms?
A: Setup Linux and then follow this guide.

This post/guide is divided into 4 parts:
1. Setting up build environment
2. Machine specifications etc.
3. Device Tree and source basics
4. Syncing Source and Building
PART 1: Setting up build environment​
Type sudo su and then your password to get rid of Admin Permissions
#Installing Python
STEP 1: Open terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)
Then execute the following commands in terminal one by one
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc
cd Downloads
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.6/Python-2.5.6.tgz
tar -xvzf Python-2.5.6.tgz
cd Python-2.5.6
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python2.5
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/python2.5/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.5
Now Python is configured
#Installing JDK
As far as I know PPA which was the earlier method of installing JDK etc. doesn't exist's anymore, So I used another way!
Step 1: Open Terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)
STEP 2: Now we need to download the JDK 6 Binary by executing this command in terminal
Code:
wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u45-b06/jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin"
STEP 3: Then we need to run the binary and move it to a shared location:
Code:
chmod +x jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
sudo ./jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
sudo mv jdk1.6.0_45 /usr/lib/jvm/
STEP 4: Now you have to install all binaries and give them highest priority, This will also overwrite the previous version of Java Binaries in your computer
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/java 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javac 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javaws 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/jar 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javadoc javadoc /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javadoc 1
STEP 5: Now check if JDK 1.6 is selected on this:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac
sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
sudo update-alternatives --config jar
sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
Now JDK is configured! To check if it is done
Execute this is Terminal
Code:
java -version
Output will be similar to this
Code:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)
#Installing GNU Make
Code:
cd Downloads
wget -o make.tar.gz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81.tar.gz
tar -xvzf make-3.81.tar.gz
cd make-3.82
./configure
sudo make install
These commands are for Make 1.81 if you want to install Make 1.82 Execute these
Code:
cd
wget -o make.tar.gz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.82.tar.gz
tar -xvzf make-3.82.tar.gz
cd make-3.82
./configure
sudo make install
Now GNU make is configures
#Installing Android SDK
STEP ONE: Download the SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and extract it in a folder called "sdk" in the Downloads folder
STEP TWO: Now, Execute these commands in terminal
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/sdk/tools/
./android sdk
SDK is configured now :victory:
#Installing required packages:
STEP 1: Open Terminal
Now execute these commands:
Code:
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 pngcrush gcc-multilib lib32z1 schedtool
Good, Now you have successfully setup linux build environment!​
PART 2: Machine specifications and other misc. stuff​
Basic Computer Specs:
2Ghz Dual Core Processor
2GB Minimum ram
50GB File Space (For only one rom source)
*PLEASE NOTE*: This is the basic specification, It really depends on the condition of your ram and cpu!
If you want to use other apps while compilation you should make a 5GB minimum swap partition!
If ram is more than 4GB ram then you don't swap partition!
PART 3: DEVICE TREE AND SOURCE BASICS​
Basic source folders:
/packages - Proprietary rom applications
/framework - Framework (Overall rom UI and stuff)
/device - Device config
/vendor - Vendor Tree and other vendor files
/hardware - Hardware drivers
Q: What is BoardConfig.mk?
A: It's the file where you setup path's to files like toolchain etc. and enable/disable stuff, its very easy to understand. You can find it in your device's tree
Q: Where is build.prop in source?
A. Build.prop is available in the source in the form of system.prop in the device tree!
Q: How to remove ringtones, video editor, CM wallpapers from bulid?
A: Go to device/releasetools/extras.txt and Delete anything you don't want in your build
PART 4: Syncing Source and Building​
# Installing Repo Package
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
STEP 2: Now it is recommended to reboot your computer (No need of sudo su after reboot)
STEP 3: Now make directory:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/rom/android/system
STEP 4: Go into directory and set path for Repo Package
Code:
cd ~/rom/android/system
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
STEP 5: NOW ITS TIME FOR SYNCING:
Their are different sources for different roms:
Some are listed bellow:
MIUI - www.github.com/micode/
Rootbox - www.github.com/Root-Box/
rasbeanjelly - www.github.com/rascarlo/
Xylon AOSP - www.github.com/xyaosp/
PAC-Man - www.github.com/PAC-Man/
CyanogenMod - www.github.com/Cyanogenmod/
CarbonROM - www.github.com/carbondev/
SaberMOD - www.github.com/SaberMOD/
AOKP - www.github.com/AOKP/
From the above collection some are Gingerbread some are ICS and some are JB 4.1/4.2 you have to visit these links via browser and see which source is which and follow the commands given at android.git/platform_manifest.git
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For CM10.1 source execute this:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm10.1
For syncing CM10 source execute:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
You have to find for the rest!!
PS: You don't have to execute all the repo init commands written above
Now to sync execute this after the the repo init command
Code:
repo sync
Once it finishes without breaking all the folders will appear in rom/android/system folder
now execute this:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/rom/android/system/device/<ManufacturerName>/<DeviceCodeName>
and extract the device config/tree here
for me its samsung/totoro (galaxy Y, Don't mind )
then do the following:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/rom/android/system/vendor/<ManufacturerName>/<DeviceCodename>
Its the same as for the device folder
Now for compiling:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_<DeviceCodename>-eng
brunch cm_<DeviceCodename>-eng
Your build will be located at /rom/android/system/out as <RomName>-date/month/year-UNOFFICIAL-<DeviceCodeName>.zip

Great Guide!!
This is very kind of you to make this helpful thread. It really helped me alot after setting up my new build environment. I ran into an error on you post that you may want to correct, other than that, great work! Here is the typo
"cd Downloads

Anyone knows what's causing it? It couldn't be the roomservice.xml in local_manifest as I used the one which another person successfully built CM with. I also repo sync'ed a few times already. I tried make clobber and built again, but nothing :crying:
I am building PACMAN ROM (4.3) now by the way.
All help is appreciated (with a thank!)

Greedings everyone
For some time now i am trying to download and compile CyanongenMod Sources for my Device. I Install VirtualBox + Linux Mint + all the needed stuff. Then i do the repo init and everything looks ok but when i do the repo sync it always throw me a error fetch stop because of sync errors. Ive done it a lot of time with no luck. Also i tried the repo sync -f which finaly finishes fetching things but stops at getting the project tree. Can anyone help me? :/ its really frustrating

2)If device not yet had a cm build or device tree how to get them

[GUIDE]How to build a rom from scratch/source for the Micromax Canvas 2 aka a110.

Hello guys. I have seen a lot of activity here. But I found almost no one knew about source building in this community. Another reason for posting is for people who want to build cm11 from scratch themselves. Our computer crashes most of the time.
Here starts the fun :
Prerequisites
Quote:
HTML:
1. Ubuntu 13.10 / BBQLINUX (I personally use this)
2. patience...lots and lots of patience.
1. Installing ubuntu 13.10.
Quote:
This can be done in 3 ways and I am not gonna cover it all.
- along with windows ,i.e dual boot
- in virtualbox within windows
- as a windows application installation with "wubi" installer
For starting user i think second option, i.e installing in virtualbox is best.
here's starting tutorials
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDDRFiwHujg
NOTE - you should have atleast 100 Gb partion for virtualbox.
2. Setting up building environment.
PHP:
THIS ALL BELOW STEPS ARE NOT NEEDED IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED BBQLINUX, BUILDING ENVIRONMENT IS SET IN BBQLINUX BY DEFAULT. IT WORKS OUT-OF-THE-BOX.
Initializing a fresh Android Build Environment in Ubuntu 13.10 sucks, right? The instructions at the AOSP page are outdated and inaccurate. Near as I can tell, they try to have you install 2 JDKs, the first one not even being the correct link for Saucy Salamander, and the second being OpenJDK. Which might work. But I dunno about all that, I’d rather have Oracle’s official stamp when it comes to building for Android.
Currently most of the guides are up to 12.04 LTS, which is fine and dandy, but being on the cutting edge is nice too.
This guide applies to all variations of Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander 64 bit. Do not use the 32 Bit version. Also, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when to use “sudo” and when to not. It can make things funky if you do something as root that you shouldn’t.
Much thanks goes out to Google, ProTekk, Canonical, and everyone else that I read a random paragraph here and snippet there.
First lets perform an update:
HTML:
sudo apt-get update
After this Restart ubuntu.
Okay, 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:
PHP:
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:
PHP:
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:
PHP:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Follow the on-screen instructions. You have to Accept the Licensing Agreement to complete the install. Hopefully no human centipede clauses.
Let’s make sure the correct version of Java is activated, run the following Terminal command:
Code:
PHP:
java -version
You should see something like the following:
Code:
PHP:
java version “1.6.0_45″ Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01, mixed mode)
Ok, back to a fresh Terminal prompt. Time for installing the guts to build stuff in Ubuntu:
Code:
PHP:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg ccache lzop 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
When that is done installing, run the following command in your Terminal window:
Code:
PHP:
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:
PHP:
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:
PHP:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the very bottom, add the following line:
Code:
PHP:
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:
PHP:
source ~/.bashrc
Set up android sdk
Refer this guide. Go only to sdk section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302780
3. Downloading source
Open terminal
To initialize your local repository using the your Rom trees, use a command like this:
HTML:
mkdir cm11
cd cm11
Repositories of famous roms. Choose one:
HTML:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b kitkat
repo init -u git://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest.git -b kitkat1
Of course you have to make rom specific changes as they are not supported yet. But will be in near FUTURE. I Will highlight rom specific changes in second post.
Create local_manifest.xml in .repo folder.
PHP:
cd .repo
nano local_manifest.xml
Paste following into the terminal
PHP:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/micromax/a110" name="Ateekujjawal/android_device_micromax_a110" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project path="kernel/micromax/a110" name="Ateekujjawal/android_kernel_micromax_a110" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash.
Then to sync up:
HTML:
repo sync -j#
# is number of jobs you want to give for your downloading source. I use 2.
Download gonna be huge. Approx 12-15 GB.
So its gonna take while depending upon your internet connection.
You may get errors while downloading, like
HTML:
Sync exited due to fetch errors
Just restart download by
HTML:
repo sync
Let's extract those vendors.
HTML:
cd cm11
cd /device/micromax/a110
./extract-files.sh
Starting Building process
PHP:
. build/envsetup.sh && time brunch a110 -j#
Again # is meant for No. of CPU cores you have.
Building gonna take time, depending upon your computer configuration.
Any errors, post here.
I will try my best to solve problems .
Start building your own CM11...
Any suggestion welcome.

Patience bro. We are building. But you know our pc crashed. So it is gonna take time. If you want to build any other rom, then you can follow this guide. I wouldn't say it is noob friendly but it's a Kickstart.

[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....
You can Find Mint here Click Me

Pick the number of the rom you would like to build
the -j* is how may cpu cores you would like to give to the build process
So -j2 would tell the build process that you have 2 core you would like to use to build

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

[Heimdall 1.4.2] How to install Heimdall 1.4.2 on Ubuntu 21.10.

Install Heimdall 1.4.2 on Ubuntu 21.10
ABOUT
Heimdall is a cross-platform (runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX), open source Odin alternative which uses the same protocol as Odin to interact with a device in download mode, that can be used to flash Android ROMs or Kernels onto Samsung Galaxy S phones.
Ubuntu 21.10 doesn't run qt5 so you have to install the dependencies and make a fake qt5 pkg.
FIRST STEP
open Tilex and install some pkgs.
$ sudo apt install git wget snap unzip
SECOND STEP
Make a fake qt5 default.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install equivs
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ cat <<EOF > qt5-default-control
Package: qt5-default
Source: qtbase-opensource-src
Version: 5.99.99+fake-13ubuntu37
Architecture: all
Depends: qtbase5-dev, qtchooser
Suggests: qt5-qmake, qtbase5-dev-tools
Conflicts: qt4-default
Section: libdevel
Priority: optional
Homepage: http://qt-project.org/
Description: Qt 5 development defaults fake package
EOF
$ equivs-build qt5-default-control
$ cd Downloads
$ sudo apt-get install ./qt5-default_5.99.99+fake-13ubuntu37_all.deb
THIRD STEP
Build Heimdall 1.4.2
Download Heimdall from https://gitlab.com/BenjaminDobell/Heimdall/tree/v1.4.2
Unzip and cd into the Heimdall folder.
Install dependencies:
$ sudo apt install qt5-default libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential cmake zlib1g-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
Create build directory & cd into it:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make
Heimdall is now compiled and the binary is found in the build/bin folder.
