[Resolved] Android Source Repo Download Help (Python Issue?)

NOTE: I Am On Linux Mint 9 32 bit
Okay So I Have Lately been trying TO Get The Latest Android Source Code From Google
Now I Follow The Instructions Down To The Wire (The Ones For Ubuntu, But They Should In Theory Work For Mint 9), And Everything Works Up Until I get To This Part:
Initializing a Repo client
Run "repo init" to bring down the latest version of Repo with all its most recent bug fixes. You must specify a URL for the manifest:
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
If you would like to check out a branch other than "master", specify it with -b, like:
$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b cupcake
When prompted, configure Repo with your real name and email address. If you plan to submit code, use an email address that is associated with a Google account .
A successful initialization will end with a message such as
repo initialized in /mydroid
Your client directory should now contain a.repodirectory where files such as the manifest will be kept.

And When I Try To Run That Line Through The Terminal I Get This Error:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/repo", line 91, in ?
import readline
ImportError: No module named readline
Now I Know What The Problem is, It Is Looking For The readline.so in the the lib folder, Yet Even Though It Is There It Still Wont Work.
Now I Have Tried All 2.x.x Versions Of Python (2.4.6, 2.5.5, & 2.6.4) and None Of Them Work.
Also With Each Version I Run:
Code:
$ ./configure --enable-readline
And Still the Same Error.
i Have Been working On this For About 3 Hours Now And Still Now Luck.
I Tried A Google Search But Every Topic Get Close To Helping Someone Get It Then Stops.
Please Help Me Out Here ?

Okay So I Found The Solution.
repo runs STRICTLY off of 2.4.x and for some reason when I installed Python 2.4.6 readline.so was never put into:
Code:
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/
So I copied the readline.so from my Python 2.6.4 folder (File Download Below)
and put it into:
Code:
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/
Then I ran repo again and it worked fine.
Although it withh give you an API mismatch warning, but so far it has worked fine

i had that problem so i edited repo itself and deleted line 91

[Guide] How to build CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1) for the Galaxy R I9103

Note:
1. This is extension to the Karthik's Guide with Adam's Repo's...
2. Based on my experience i have created this Guide, I have successfully compiled the Build and sharing this with you so some one can try it...
Preparing the system:
Follow this Link until step 4.4 (i.e. 4.4 - Initialize Repository & Sync)
Start with sources:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
Initialize Repo for Android CM10.1 (Android 4.2.1):
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
and enter your credentials if needed.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync -j4
Wait until it's finished (takes a lot of time!).
If the process hangs use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync -j4
Initialize the environment
NOTE: If you have trouble syncing due to connection issues, try repo sync -j1. It's slower but some ISPs have issues with -j4/16
Want to make sure you didn't get any connection errors and have the complete repository? Just run the repo sync command again. It can't give you ANY errors.
Wait until it's finished (takes a lot of time!).
VERY IMPORTANT: Now, Lets add the device specific tree..
1) Open your File Browser,
2) Press Ctrl+H (to show hidden files/directories)
3) Navigate to android/system/.repo/manifest.xml
(Right Click & open the XML file in text editor)
4) Add
Code:
<project path="device/samsung/galaxyr" name="Adam77Root/android_device_samsung_galaxyr" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
BEFORE the manifest closing tags (</manifest>).
5) Save & Close the File.
Run another
Code:
$ repo sync
Get Device Specific Repos:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
Extract files from phone:
NOTE: You need to have cm10 installed on the phone.
Code:
cd ~/android/system/device/samsung/galaxyr/
./extract-files.sh
Code:
~/android/system/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Important Things to be taken care before Building ROM:
1. Add these line in Boarconfig.mk
Code:
TARGET_ARCH := arm
BOARD_EGL_NEEDS_LEGACY_FB := true
2. Change the below line.
Code:
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 5242880
to
Code:
BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 7242880
3. Delete Overlay folder.
4. Go to build/tools/releasetools and open file "ota_from_target_files" and replace the whole code with this code from this link.
Ok, You are done Now...
Building the ROM:
Code:
brunch cm_galaxyr-eng
it will take around 2 - 3 Hours....
Congrats you are done
Now Go to ~/android/system/out/target/product/galaxyr/cm-10.1-XXXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-galaxyr.zip copy it to mobile and flash it on your mobile..
*********************************************************************************​
Updating the Build:
Code:
cd android/system
repo sync -j1
make installclean
brunch cm_galaxyr-eng
Big Thanks to Adam for his Efforts and Device tree..

Not yet. The first builds will be only previews. If 10.1 gets as stable as 10 now is, I'll change to it. But there is work to be done on 10 as well and better to do it on a working build first. But I'm also very excited to see 10.1, so will definitely work on it.

Mj, before running the get-prebuilts command, should I run extract-files.sh first to get the vendor/cm directory as mentioned in karthick's tut for CM10 ?
I'm studying through your's, karthick's, and PA's compiling guides to get to know about compiling roms and trying to understand every step.

Yes buddy you need to run it...

Friends updated the Guide with all the details and problems i have faced, so now you can simply follow the steps and build CM 10.1...

Ran in to trouble right in the beginning. My process does not support virtualization (not a n option in BIOS too) and so cannot install 64 bit Ubuntu on VM player.
Do you guys have any alternate suggestions or is it possible to use 32 bit Ubuntu to compile ?

I used wubi... dual boot...

Welcome to the tutorial for build CyanogenMod 10 for the HTC ChaCha. This tutorial was a community based project from HTC ChaCha’s Google+. We created this tutorial to try and boost the development of the HTC ChaCha board and bring some life back to the board.
​
Requirements:
Linux System x64 (Ubuntu 12.04 and newer can be used)
Mac OS X can also be used, however this tutorial is designed for Linux users.
Python 2.6 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org or with sudo apt-get install python on Ubuntu or Debian.
GNU Make 3.81 -- 3.82, which you can download from gnu.org or with sudo apt-get install make on Ubuntu or Debian.
JDK 6 (Can be found at Ubuntu Software Centre or read details in Build Environment for detailed instructions)
Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com or with sudo apt-get install git-core on Ubuntu or Debian.
Good amount of RAM, less you have longer it will take to build. I recommend a 2GB and higher.
A decent ISP which provides a fast, reliable connection(so you don't timeout during a large pull of source)
Setting up a Build Environment
Follow this guide: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
Installing Repo
Repo is a tool that makes it easier to work with Git and Gerrit in the context of Android. To learn more about Repo and Gerrit, see Version Control.
To install, initialize, and configure Repo, follow these steps:
Make sure you have a bin/ directory in your home directory, and that it is included in your path:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Alternatively, experienced Linux users may wish to add PATH=${PATH}:~/bin to ~/.bashrc to avoid re-typing the export command.
Download the Repo script and ensure it is executable:
Code:
$ curl [url]https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo[/url] > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Initializing a Repo client
After installing Repo, set up your client to access the android source repository
Create an empty directory to hold your working files, please note that Linux’s files system is case-sensitive so uppercase letters matter. Give it any name you like, we’ve used WORKING_DIRECTORY for a quick example:
Code:
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
Run repo init to bring down the latest version of Repo with all of its most recent bug fixes. You must specify a URL for the manifest, which specifies where the various repositories included in the Android source will be placed within your working directory and where to download them from. The manifest will update automatically when minor versions of Android are released (4.1.x) but not when major versions are (4.X). A major version can only be changed by selecting the new branch codename with the -b flag bellow.
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
When prompted, please configure Repo with your real name and email address. To download AOSP material, you will need an email address that is connected with a registered Google account. Make sure this is a live address at which you can receive messages as the name that you provide here will show up in attributions for your code submissions. You won’t get any messages if you don’t submit any code.
A successful initialization will end with a message stating that Repo is initialized in your working directory. Your client directory should now contain a .repo directory where files such as the manifest will be kept.
Getting the files
To pull down files to your working directory from the repositories as specified in the default manifest, run
Code:
$ repo sync -j8 WORKING_DIRECTORY
Note: The “-j8” is dependent on your internet connection. If you have a slower and fragile then use a lower number like “j2” for example.
The Android source files will be located in your working directory under their project names. The initial sync operation will take an hour or more to complete. For more about repo sync and other Repo commands, see Version Control.
The repo sync operation will take a lot of time (JB source are about 14 GB!). Make sure no other people will be using your system and then pull the source, recommend pulling during the night. However if your source does get interrupted then you can continue the source pulling by running the command again, however this is not recommended.
Using authentication
By default, access to the Android source code is anonymous. To protect the servers against excessive usage, each IP address is associated with a quota.
When sharing an IP address with other users (e.g. when accessing the source repositories from beyond a NAT firewall), the quotas can trigger even for regular usage patterns (e.g. if many users sync new clients from the same IP address within a short period).
In that case, it is possible to use authenticated access, which then uses a separate quota for each user, regardless of the IP address.
The first step is to create a password from the password generator and to save it in ~/.netrc according to the instructions on that page.
The second step is to force authenticated access, by using the following manifest URI:
Code:
[url]https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest[/url]
Notice how the /a/ directory prefix triggers mandatory authentication.
You can convert an existing client to use mandatory authentication with the following command:
Code:
$ repo init -u [url]https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest[/url]
To build for the HTC ChaCha you will need to include the specific repository’s for the device. This includes the device files, vendor files and other important repos which are needed:
Device Tree: https://github.com/adumont/android_device_htc_chacha
Vendor Tree: https://github.com/adumont/android_vendor_htc_chacha
Kernel sources: https://github.com/adumont/htc-kernel-msm7227
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: The maintainer of the source is adlx, feel free to fork the projects (if you need to modify them), but if you fix bugs, please submit a pull request (via Github). To clone the project locally on your hard-drive and modify locally you don’t need to either register at Github nor fork the repos.
Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following lines:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ wget -O .repo/local_manifest.xml
[url]https://github.com/adumont/android_device_htc_chacha/blob/jellybean/extra/local_manifest.xml[/url]
$ repo sync -j8 -c
This will download the needed additional repositories to build Jellybean (CM10) for the HTC ChaCha.
Once you're all set up we can start building. If you're not already in the Terminal, open it up again and navigate to your working directory. Run these following commands to start compiling!
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch cm_chacha-eng
$ mka bacon
Note: Where “x” is, number how many jobs you want the compile to complete in a second. Remember that this is dependent on your machine. If you have a low spec computer use “-j1” for example.
This last sentence will initiate the build process, which can take several hours depending of your hardware configuration. Once complete the build system will display where the flashable item is stored. Commonly the file can be found below.
Code:
$ cd out/target/product/chacha/
$ ls *.zip
​Troubleshooting network issues
When downloading from behind a proxy (which is common in some corporate environments), it might be necessary to explicitly specify the proxy that is then used by repo:
Code:
$ export HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxy_user_id>:<proxy_password>@<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>
$ export HTTPS_PROXY=http://<proxy_user_id>:<proxy_password>@<proxy_server>:<proxy_port>
NOTE: Rarely, Linux clients experience connectivity issues, getting stuck in the middle of downloads (typically during "Receiving objects"). It has been reported that tweaking the settings of the TCP/IP stack and using non-parallel commands can improve the situation. You need root access to modify the TCP setting:
Code:
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
$ repo sync -j1
E: Your download during the source pulling stopped or it got interrupted. What’s should I do?
A: Use the same command “repo sync” and your download will be resumed. However the will be a small chance of corruption depending on your situation.
E: make: *** No rule to make target `#######', needed by `out/target/product/chacha/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/######'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
A: Usually this occurs when you have an incorrect file or a corrupted file (which can’t be found) which ChaCha device folder is requesting. Use CyanogenMod’s Github to find the correct file or find it using Google.
Question and Answers
What if I don’t want to build CyanogenMod?
You don’t have to. It is possible to build AOKP, Paranoid Android and so on for the HTC ChaCha. Apart from you need to work through the issues and errors. How to build AOKP will be added to this tutorial soon.

Local manifest seems to be outdated, you need to change the chacha 's git to point to github instead of assembla.

Best & the most organized TUT i've come across so far

I'm going to set-up an event in 3 weeks time (Maybe on the 5th of April) to help users with the HTC ChaCha source development. And hopefully end up with some ROMs in the end.
If anyone is interested in this please post your comments. I will only set this up if people are interested. Also I will host it on Google+ Hangouts with IRC. If the isn't any other easier way of helping.
Join the community on Google+ for more info.

When you see "WORKING_DIRECTORY" it refers to where you have decided to put your CM's sources... It's not the command to run.
In that case anyway, I'm not sure why it's even there.
THe command to sync the repo is:

[Q] Repository unavailable due to DMCA takedown. Doing Repo sync cm11

I did do a cm11 repo sync to update my source and now i get this:

fatal: remote error:
Repository unavailable due to DMCA takedown.
See the takedown notice for more details:

I did a sync on cm10.2 and alsow get:

Could someone just fix this?????
**** the DMCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most of us did pay a lot on phones.

I have the same problem today maybe a github problem. repo sync ask me to logon on github. I have tried with my github login but without success.

just ran into the same problem here, my work around was simply to remove that repo from the repo list.
just before repo sync, do this
Code:
nano .repo/manifests/default.xml
press ctrl+w <-- this will open search
type CyanogenMod/android_external_svox
enter
now remove that entire line
ctrl+o to save, followed by enter and ctrl+x to close nano
repo sync
do note, I'm not sure what function this repo serves, just that it shouldnt effect me, since im not building a rom from the source, only using CM to build kernels and recoveries, I hope.
Edit: I'm running into a building error now, so be careful, it could just be CM11 error, or due to my bypass.
Edit2: it's an art compiling problem.

what about the old repo like cm10.1, cm10.2 and etc. Are this 'android_external_svox' will take effect on compiling rom?

I wasnt building ROMs so it didn't matter to me...
but I just resync'ed after few hours and the repo was automatically re-linked to asop and it was still available there.
so it worked.. and it was cm11.
if you're on another version and it hasn't been fixed, just lock at the local manefest.xml or what ever the name is and change the repo manually.
to do so after you open the xml search for "android_external_svox".

[Q]Repo Instructions for JFLTE 5.x?

I know that Jake had to step away from the project, and I pretty much intend on running my jfltetmo into the ground, so I'll be on jflte long-term. I'd like to start giving back to the community by seeing if I can pick up where Jake left off. I'm an electrical engineer with plenty of programming experience. I just don't have much in the embedded world. I saw that Jake had some work posted to Github on the 5.1 branch for jflte, but when I follow the directions in omnirom's Github Readme, I get an error of
error: Cannot fetch android_device_samsung_jflte
Can I manually copy the files, and where do they fit within the android structure?
Is Android Studio a good IDE for ROM development?

Hmm, post the full error log? Also, if the branch is only in Jake's personal repos you may need to use a custom local manifest to use that for the device tree instead of Omni's jflte device tree.
I personally just use grep + emacs, I've never been much of an IDE person.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me! I deleted the directory and reinitialized the omni repo. Here is the error I keep getting, it seems to be choking on arm/linux/androideabi:
repo sync -j8 -f --no-clone-bundle|tee >> reposynclog.txt 2>&1
Fetching projects: 100% (480/480), done.
Syncing work tree: 93% (447/480) error: in `sync -j8 -f --no-clone-bundle`: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/media/rhill/25e87ad3-e539-4009-9c40-0ab4db81d8e0/rhill/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/.git/HEAD'
error: manifest missing or unreadable -- please run init
I re-ran
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-5.1 > repoinitlog.txt 2>&1
Which doesn't seem to have thrown any errors at me, but I keep returning to the same broken package, even when I just run repo sync, with no options.
