Lollipop Source - Official Nvidia Repository - Shield Tablet Android Development

The developer site is still listing KitKat as the newest build, so here are the links to the instructions to build Lollipop using the official source:
Lollipop 5.0: http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=rel-st8-l-r1-partner
Lollipop 5.0.1: http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=rel-st8-l-r2-partner

Cheers mate. It is still listing the 1.2.1 OTA as the latest but just by changing the branch url i was able to find the newest.
Lets hope for some more development on this device. I'm going to PM you soon - I will be building my own ROM and/or Kernel.

You do realize those are the links posted above. There is no need to switch branch names or search for the current files. Just click the one you want.

Of course, mate!
I was saying that I found the proper page by changing the URL to hb=rel-st8-l-r2-partner, before this thread was posted. So I appreciate you enlightening other folks about it!

Even without already having the branch name, it's just a matter of going to http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?p=manifest/android/binary.git;a=summary to find it

Hi, @twistedumbrella could you please spare a second to help (or point me in the right direction) I've successfully built Lollipop for my Oneplus One using Ubuntu, but when I try to set up first repo sync; well see below:
When I run: repo init -u git://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/manifest/android/binary.git -b rel-st8-l-r2-partner -m tlk/shieldtablet.xml
I get: fatal: manifest 'tlk/shieldtablet.xml' not available
fatal: remote github not defined in /home/diigimatrix/.repo/manifests/tlk/shieldtablet.xml
Please could you get me on my way. I love all your work and hope to gain further knowledge through your support.
Thanks in advance

I'm trying to figure out what's up with it now. I know when I synced it was r1, and tlk/shieldtablet.xml was valid.
Hopefully I can track down why it is coming back invalid in r2.

Thanks @twistedumbrella, glad in a way its not just me. Thought I was running the wrong command. . Happy New Year!

Same to you. It updated ok but now I have to see if it'll re-init. It may be a delay on their end. The readme for the portable was up a week before the source.

Cool. I'll give it another try once I've finished work. Been a member for years and helped a lot in the old windows phone days. But thought enough of just relying on other people, time to start getting my hands dirty again. But new to building Android. Need to read up on manipulation of ROMs rather than just building a stock ROM. Any tips on tools to manipulate ROMs? Am i right by merging commits then build, then manipulate ROM? I will read up on it but just thought you might have some pointers. Thanks

Best bet is to either find something you like and merge it or try to find something similar and recreate it to start. Once you get comfortable, then start coming up with your own.
Building from source is mostly Java for modifying with some C for drivers and such. Usually when you have a device configuration already set up, though, the C part is already done.

Just wanna say a big thanks to @twistedumbrella. I set up a new ubuntu build environment and I'm now compiling my first Android build for Nvidia Shield Tablet EU-LTE. No mods yet other than stock, but hopefully with time.

It looks like they are still working out a few issues with new updates. I don't maintain the source, so the only advice I can provide is to keep on eye on nvidia's gitweb for when they publish a solution (or occasionally sync and try over), or attempt to fix it yourself (which usually only works if there is an issue with the code, not code missing altogether).

Compiled! I have resynchronized all the project from scratch from git repository.
I'm going to test the compiled ROM in my tablet, but I suppose, I have to provide almost the essential pack of Google apps (basic providers and play services).
I think to flash *.img files, except recovery.img (I'm on TWRP), and then install from TWRP PA Gapps. Is this approach correct?
Thnx in advance and regards.
EDIT: No luck booting custom rom (TWRP nor stock recovery...)

Seem's like there's a new source three version out:
repo init -u git://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/manifest/android/binary.git -b rel-st8-l-r3-partner -m tlk/shieldtablet.xml

[Q] Building a UnORom on Gentoo

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.

[ROM][11-17-2014][5.0] Unofficial CM12 Builds

First off, I just want to say I don't mean to step on anyone's toes. Thanks for all the work so far from digitalhigh, bracketslash, santod040 and everyone who has posted information about or commits to the CM12 build tree. This is not my code, all I have done is disable enough stuff to get it to build and boot. A LOT OF STUFF IS BROKEN. This is intended for developers only right now. I will try to update the builds as I can but please don't expect true nightly builds.
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way responsible for malfunctioning or bricked devices if you run this software. If you do not agree to these terms, DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Again, this is seriously broken right now.
What doesn't work:
-Almost everything
What works:
-Wifi
-Touchscreen
-Sound
Changelog:
Merged (compare to build date)
Open (not in build yet)
Installation notes:
As I have yet to find a way to easily disable NFC for the builds, you will have to remove the /system/app/Nfc to stop those force closes. I just went to TWRP, mounted system, then ran "rm -rf /system/app/Nfc" to disable NFC for now.

Thanks for info. I'll probably just wait on that one to get merged as so much is broken already. I doubt selinux will be the cause of frustration right now Also for anyone interested I made the following modifications to the cm12.0 branch to get this to build:
1) Created local_manifest.xml with muppeteers 12.0 branch
2) Commented out DotCase line in device/htc/m8/device.mk (has issues building)
3) Commented out ro.cwm.forbid_mount and ro.cwm.forbid_format lines in device/htc/m8/system.prop (too long)
4) Added missing overlay resources to main resources (copy the missing variables from build/overlay/frameworks/blah.xml to frameworks/blah.xml)
Ive been patiently waiting for cm12 on this beast

While I agree it may not get as much attention, I still think this is the proper place. Android development (not m8 android development) is more for universal android projects or new code bases or ROMs for devices that don't have their own sub forum. That being said, this is a build of already existing code so it should go into a "development" section and given that I only plan to get this working on Verizon variant (as that's what I have) I avoided posting to the generic m8 sub forum. Mods can move as they feel fit but I think it belongs here Feel free to repost any info I have here though.
I'm trying to build and I'm getting stuck on the proprietary binaries.
Specifically this:
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/htc/m8/proprietary/bin/adsprpcd', needed by `/home/build/cm12/out/target/product/m8/system/bin/adsprpcd'. Stop.
Any advice?

Hmm I didn't run into this. I just used the get-prebuilts command and didn't have any issue after. I followed these but modified for 12.0 branch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver.../how-to-build-cm11-htc-one-m8-082714-t2860056
Just make sure your local_manifest.xml file has the 12.0 muppeteers branch as shown in example on page 6 of that thread.

Hi compile ROM cm11 for a different device
Could you tell me which Java version are you using to build cm12, since you have just built cm12?
I tried to built cm12 yesterday and I got an error for Java so I installed OpenJDK7 and the it started building but I am getting a lot of non-device related error saying "internal compilation error"
I even tried removing all java version and re-installing OpenJDK7. Set alterantives too but no luck.
So please could you let me know which Java Version are you using for building cm12?
OpenJDK7 or Oracle/sun 7
Thanks

Where to start to build a new custom ROM?

Hi. I've always been curious to try to build a new aosp based ROM.
I know java but I don't know CPP... Only a bit. Anybody thinks I could start something? Even in a team, of course. Where to start?

First of all, it depends on how much you already know.
There are numerous guides on how to build another existing custom ROM. I'd start with those first to be a little familiar with how a project is handled, but you could always just look for guides for building one from scratch AOSP if you wanted to.
There are plenty of guides on the internet, and if you run into an issue, someone else has likely already asked about it and received an answer.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd also be interested in learning how to manage/develop a custom rom. Let's get Team n00b started up
I´m bumping this topic though the last answer is over one month ago
Creating, managing a Custom ROM of any kind is very time consuming and some people will always expect you to release updates as fast as possible and to work for free Even if you´ve set up your developing environment ( I use Linux ), you will need a lot of patience and a hell of a PC to compile stuff without waiting too long.
If I were you I would think twice if I want to a) build a ROM for yourself only or b) also go through the pain of maintaining a thread, webspace and online support.
The Nexus forums are crowded with AOSP based ROMs and I don´t think that one thread more or less would matter. What I build for myself simply needs to be reliable without 1000x different Mods or Themes.
Since I barely have any time for this hobby anymore, I stick to a) only and even by doing so, I will also waste a lot of time since sometimes there are unforeseen consequences
Yes. That's what I ended too. It would take too much time and resources. I just stopped thinking about that (because my linux pc is very old, too) and used a good ROM.
Thanks!
Quick question
I'm trying to build M developer preview from AOSP. I'm currently syncing the repo with the command:
Code:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest.git -b android-m-preview
After this is synced I will add my device to the appropriate folder with the code:
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/hammerhead.git -b android-m-preview hammerhead
After this will I be able to compile and build?
Am I on the right track?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can just add the device specific code on the manifest (by modifying .repo/manifest/default.xml)

I didn't add my device on the manifest. I followed another guide specifically for my phone and AOSP.
Now, I'm stuck at this:
Code:
Header: out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/include/gps.utils//loc_log.h
make: *** No rule to make target `hardware/qcom/gps/utils/log_util.h', needed by `out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/include/gps.utils//log_util.h'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Header: out/target/product/hammerhead/obj/include/gps.utils//loc_cfg.h
I used the Preview binaries from Google.
Does this mean the latest blobs do not compile for M?

[GUIDE] Build LineageOS 14.1 for flamingo

Hello there!
Many of you want to get a nougat working rom for our Xperia E3. We have kernel sources, vendor files, device... So if you wanna try to make the rom this guide is for you.
Prerequisites
64 bit computer with 64 bit Linux OS installed (or virtual machine)
At least 4gb of RAM and about 100GB of free storage (more if you enable ccache)
Much patience (the process will be long)
Getting started
Android SDK
You can setup android SDK by running
Code:
sudo apt-get install adb fastboot
Installing required packages
For that you can follow the steps on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nicki/build#install-the-build-packages
Setting up directories
Create a folder in which android source will be downloaded
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/lineage
Note: "~/android/lineage" is an example, you can create whatever folder you want, but in the next steps be sure you change paths.
Install the repo command
Like before you only need to run
Code:
sudo apt-get install repo
Initialize the LineageOS source repository
Now we can start to prepare sources download. Enter the following to initialize the repository:
Code:
cd ~/android/lineage
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1
And we need to prepare local manifests:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/rmnhg/local_manifests.git -b cm-14.1 .repo/local_manifests
Download the source code
To start the download of the source code to your computer:
Code:
repo sync
Note: This process will be long (over 30gb are going to be downloaded) and can be longer if your connection is slow so be patience.
Prepare the device-specific code
After the source downloads, ensure you’re in the root of the source code, then type:
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
breakfast flamingo
This will prepare flamingo sources to be compiled.
(Optional) Turn on caching to speed up build
You can setup ccache if you want to speed up subsequent builds by running:
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
and adding that line to your ~/.bashrc file. Then, specify the maximum amount of disk space you want ccache to use by typing this from the top of your Android tree:
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
where 50G corresponds to 50GB of cache. This needs to be run once. Anywhere from 25GB-100GB will result in very noticeably increased build speeds (for instance, a typical 1hr build time can be reduced to 20min). If you’re only building for one device, 25GB-50GB is fine. If you plan to build for several devices that do not share the same kernel source, aim for 75GB-100GB. This space will be permanently occupied on your drive, so take this into consideration. See more information about ccache on Google’s Android build environment initialization page.
You can also enable the optional ccache compression. While this may involve a tiny performance slowdown, it increases the number of files that fit in the cache. To enable it, run:
Code:
export CCACHE_COMPRESS=1
or add that line to your ~/.bashrc file.
You can also change ccache files path by running:
Code:
export CCACHE_DIR=[COLOR="YellowGreen"]<path of your choice>[/COLOR]
or add that line to your ~/.bashrc file.
Configure jack
Jack is the new Java compiler used when building LineageOS 14.1. It is known to run out of memory - a simple fix is to run this command:
Code:
export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G"
Adding that command to your ~/.bashrc file will automatically configure Jack to allocate a sufficient amount of memory.
Start building
Now you can start compiling LineageOS. You can start running:
Code:
croot
brunch flamingo
NOTE: If terminal tells you "croot/breakfast: command not found" just run
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
and try again.
NOTE 2: If you receive the error "SSL error when connecting to the Jack server. Try 'jack-diagnose'" check this post for a fix.
This will finally compile LineageOS for flamingo :good:
If it finishes succesfully, you will have in out/target/product/flamingo two files:
recovery.img, which is the LineageOS recovery image.
lineage-14.1-<date>-UNOFFICIAL-flamingo.zip, which is the LineageOS installer package.
You have to flash ano and copy installer zip into the phone.
Then reboot into recovery (Power+Vol down) and install this zip.
You can flash flash recovery running
Code:
sudo fastboot -s 256M flash recovery <pathtorecovery.img>
Thanks to @infus for his trick (-s 256M) with fastboot commands for big images.
I hope this guide has been useful for you

UPDATES
[06/13/2017] Guide successfully builds Lineage, but we have to fix kernel becouse it's not booting. I've also updated my local_manifests repo, so you need to run in android/lineage this
Code:
cd .repo/local_manifests && git pull origin cm-14.1 ;
cd ../..
[06/23/2017] Booted! But there are some bugs, we will upload ROM when that bugs are fixed
[07/25/2017] After a month we got this working for all variants, with basic hardware working (no camera yet) and with latest TWRP working . I'm working now on getting camera working and other small projects (on Xperia E3 also) but I am being slower to release new things because I have not much time and internet to work, I'm sorry.
[09/01/2017] Camera driver is now working! I have ported stock camera driver to renaissance kernel (LA.BF.1.1.3.. CAF) in another folder with the tag CONFIG_MSMB_CAMERA_FLAMINGO
Camera is still not working because of the HAL but it is nearer
[12/15/2017] I'm sorry we paused releasing updates for the compiled ROM, but I've changed much code and worked hard on camera (which is published on another branch named cm-14.1-cameratesting). Soon I will get some things finished and continue some other projects I had for this device. By the way I wish you a merry Christmas!
Reserved.
First of all I'm thanking you that at least you started to create the ROM for our device...
I really want to help you but I can't, due to internet connection, I don't have much data that I can download those sources (over 30gb)
But I really appreciate your work and hope someday you develop the ROM....
Hello! First of all, this version of Lineage is a very good thing for the Android Community ! I saw in the title that you are facing some difficulties, I'll try to help you. I have a friend who have the phone you talk about. We will probably try it on Wednesday. Did you need a log or something after you did ? Do you have the phone, or do you want my friend's one to test it ? Do you think that your ROM is compatible with your variant ? Or mine ? Thanks for passing some time on the gid build ! Have a good day !

The problems I have are related to system libs when compiling. Some of them fail to compile and I have to fix them manually, becouse of that system.img is not ready. All I have are LineageOS recovery and boot img files for LTE variants (for me that is not working but maybe for your phones things go well). On friday I can upload that imgs for you for test (remember that I have not system compiled so you can install recovery, boot.img may not work with other roms.
With my friend (who owns the xperia e3 d2203) we have started the step currently on the step of 30gb download
You can make a group with telegram to avoid polishing xda to speak and try to solve the problem encountered if you want it by giving the invitation link

Good idea! I'm going to do that

Hello ! After trying to compile the build, it stops and says that the error 1 has occurred. I tried many times but I always got this error (the only thing that changed is the time before the error occurs). I maybe didn’t correctly write the part with java and jack, but I just started to rewrite all from the beginning, I will keep you informed !?
I will prepare a computer to do this. It is almost done, just need a mouse I will download all these sources and start asap. Any help is much appreciated
EDIT: I have a Xperia E3 ready to test anything you want to. Just PM me for better contact info.. I'm here to help the development of this ROM.
I'm still using CM11 ;-; (can't live without camera)

Best of luck. I don't have the E3 now but if you need any help or ask about any error, feel free to PM me. ??
@jpzex, @infus38, @rmnhg, I think you all have D2203. So, will you Port this ROM for D2212 after development of this ROM?

Yes, that is not difficult. I think that a little kernel change and some build.prop tweaks could do the trick, but first we need to complete a single build for D2203, which is the main model.

Which source that you used as device and kernel tree? And are you building nougat? I'm D2202 user
anyway, for D2202 only available source for cm12.1 when i see from @hell_lock. Will our device run with that device tree?

We are using this kernel with this device tree. That sources are mainly designed for LTE variants, but in yukon repo there is more support for D2202/12 devices (see this commit).

Okay, thanks sir. I was recently trying to fix for D2202 too. i'm using different source code, this for device tree device tree & this for yukon platform yukon tree. anyway for kernel itself i don't know which source that i must using it, i'm using xperia open kernel device by jerpelea and using yukon codename. but i'm still not compile it yet since i've problem with los 13.0

and anyway, when i check your kernel source that is for D2203 mode (arima_8926SS) for single sim. can we use that kernel? since i'm using same config too?
I'll try to using your source and report it back

oh ya, and vendor source? when i saw from themuppets. Flamingo only updated until cm-12.0 and after that in cm-13.0 until cm-14.0 flamingo doesn't exist in that branch?

For vendor I'm using https://github.com/kj77/vendor-yukon on cm-14.1 branch
I think you need to include some device tree files for D2202/D2212 in kernel, since as you said that kernel is specific for D2203. I could try to make basic support for it.

Repo Download Size of CM-14.1 Lineage Branch?

Need some advice here, thought I'd give building Lineage from source a go as it would open up a whole lot of opportunities from there. But I didn't think it would require a massive (unknown size) download to even begin. Could anyone give me an idea of realistically what a repo sync such as "repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1" would make me download.?
Unfortunately I'm an aussie and data caps are quite strict here, so I can't really go out downloading massive files of unknown sizes.
Well I had to stay up several nights in a row buttt I finally downloaded the 14.1 repo, and it's roughly 20GB .

I've never built a Custom ROM but, your best bet is to post this question within the following thread guide specific to your question.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3551484
There's other guides on the forum but, that one seems, to me, to be the most active one.
Good Luck!
