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?
Edit: Found my answer here

Hi there,
Now, I understand that there's a thread or two and a few web pages directed at compiling Android and its kernel from source.
However, the thread in question is months old, and didn't fully explain the process.
As for the web pages, they are mostly outdated and don't include enough information, not to mention desire specific instructions.
I think that, properly explained, building Android shouldn't be daunting, and everyone should be able to attempt it, if they wanted to.
So, I hope to compose a comprehensive guide on how to do just that.
The problem is that I myself have not been able to put enough instructions together to be able to complete a build. And there is no point digging up old threads.
So, If anyone who knows the ropes (that is, compiling android and a kernel from source) would be willing to lead the way, I'd happily turn it into an easy to understand guide.
Josh.

I followed this guide here and successfully compiled a modified HTC Kernel and I had very little Linux and Android experience.
Obviously instead of cloning the Cyanogen git, you just use the gits you wish to compile

Thanks for the link
Though i don't fully understand the whole 'git' thing. Where do i find them? And how to i know which ones are the ones i want to use?
Josh
EDIT: Also, how do you 'edit' the kernel (i imagine it is somewhat like make menuconfig?). Also:
- Are these sense kernels?
- How do you add modules like OC and UV?

A git is a repository for source code, developers upload their source code there and can commit changes. The commit can allow descriptions of what was changed and also details the files changed.
The git system allows other people to add to the source if they have permission, or allows others to read the changes and download the source code.
Git links are usually posted by people who release software, as Android is GPL licensed so people have to release their source code if they're distributing their work.
Editing the kernel, take a look into the git and the commits and it will show you which files were changed and how exactly they were changed. That will give you the best understanding.
UV/OC is done by changing the acpu table in the architectures files and changing the minimum/maximum voltage figures in the board_bravo.c file.
The Cyanogen kernels are not Sense kernels no, it's a modified Google Kernel.
Thanks for the explanation. I followed the guide and built the rom, and it works (always a plus )
Now, the next thing is the kernel. How do I build a kernel with the CM tweaks integrated? I understand that all i would be doing is rebuilding the same one that is already installed, but im doing it to learn.
So, if i synced the GIT, does that include the CyanogenMOD kernel source? If it does, where is it and how do i rebuild it. If not, where do i find it?
Thanks,
Josh.
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.
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.

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

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.

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:

How can I start creating a ROM for the device? What are some general guidelines? How do I start tweaking apps, adding features, etc.
Also, if someone could take a look at these errors I am getting with my AOSP build that would be awesome: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/issues-aosp-built-source-bullhead-t3555439
Thanks

Hello,
If you have interest in develop a custom rom, i suggest you start at XDA University to learn a bit of everything about Android.
You have some great guides on Android Software Development (look at stick posts)
I have my own guide which is not finished but I will teach everything you need to know about build a custom ROM from source, how to use github, git, mergetool etc... You can follow my progress HERE

OK thanks, I will take a look at that. If possible, could you take a look at the errors I am getting with my AOSP build? I posed the link in the original post. Also, do you have to run extract-files.sh or can you simply download the vendor binaries from Google and run the extracting script? (AOSP)

If you fork/download vendor binaries you don't need to run extracting script
