[Solved] Building CM9

With there being a bit of an hiatus on CM9 development (waiting for HTC kernel source, working on JB), I thought I'd learn more about building ROMs.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 (and 12.04) under VMware Player on Windows 7 Home.
I downloaded the JB AOSP repository and built it successfully for the emulator.
Next, I wanted to build a working ROM, so I chose to do CM9 (ICS).
I've followed [TUTORIAL]Setting up and compiling CM9 from source
and some info regarding building JB:

Here's what I did:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
Added a "remote" to get the proprietary files for HTC devices by creating WorkingDir/.repo/local_manifest.xml
Note: An alternative to using nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc is to run ./extract-files.sh from WorkingDir/device/htc/saga with your PC connected to your phone (it used adb to pull down the proprietary files)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="https://github.com/" name="nexx" revision="ics" />
<project name="nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="nexx" revision="ics" />
<!-- the following lines were added automatically by "brunch saga" command -->

<project name="CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-msm7x30" path="kernel/htc/msm7x30" remote="github" revision="android-msm-2.6.35-ics" />
</manifest>
repo sync
Note: the next bit adds the ROM Manager and Term packages which are required by CM
cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../..
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch saga (I also tried breakfast saga; lunch;mka)
The build failed with these errors:

Note this error occurs both in Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04
What am I missing and what do I need to do to get the error fixed?
Thanks
Edit:
Solution
The version of Ubuntu has nothing to do with the problem.
The errors point to some missing functions called by hardware/qcom/media/audio/msm7x30/AudioHardware.cpp
The modules in nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc are missing the required functions so copy them from a working CM9 ROM.

i mean you should run the file extract-files.sh, this will copy the files from your phone to the folder vendor/htc/saga/proprietary, just notice that your phone should have at least one of the latest cm9 nk111 roms.
or you can extract the nk111 cm9 rom to a folder, goto that folder and under sytem/lib, copy the needed .so files to the vendor/htc/saga/proprietary replacing the files on this folder
or you can add repository that is not nexx for example https://github.com/AOKPDS/proprietary_vendor_htc
you can check if the files contain that function by using this command in the folder vendor/htc/saga/proprietary
Code:

Thanks Bill for the start and the steps, please keep updating the OP as you proceed on your journey.
I would also like to Build CM9 myself atleast once

Hi maybe you are missing some projects
try this on you local_manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga" path="device/htc/saga" remote="github" revision="ics" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm7x30-common" path="device/htc/msm7x30-common" remote="github" revision="ics" />
<project name="nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="ics" />
</manifest>
i think you need to go to vendor/cm/ and excute get-prebuilds or something like that if you get some rommanager error

This is what my local_manifest.xml looks like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote fetch="https://github.com/" name="nexx" revision="ics" />
<project name="nexx/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="nexx" revision="ics" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga" path="device/htc/saga" remote="github" revision="ics" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm7x30-common" path="device/htc/msm7x30-common" remote="github" revision="ics" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-msm7x30" path="kernel/htc/msm7x30" remote="github" revision="android-msm-2.6.35-ics" />
</manifest>
The brunch saga command added these additional entries automatically.

I know this seems like a long shot and it may not fix the problem but it could be Ubuntu 12.04 causing problems. 10.04 is the best version. Also you don't need to add the kernel to the local manifest unless you're creating a custom one. It's already in the device tree

Is your repository properly synchronized? If not it is probably your build machine

Thanks, guys. I'll try using Ubuntu 10 instead of 12.
Sent from my HTC Desire S

I did a complete reinstall on Ubuntu 10.04. But I still get the same errors. Note, I've updated the OP with more details on my environment and the steps I went through.

i got the same error when i tried to compile it on a Virtual machine. I'm not an expert but it seems to me that the file vendor/htc/saga/proprietary/libaudioalsa.so should have that function but it doesn't !? correct me if i'm wrong
try extracting the files from one of cm9 alpha builds using the script extract-files.sh under the folder device/htc/saga/
or just open the cm9 alpha zip file goto system/lib copy and replace the file libaudioalsa.so in the dir vendor/htc/saga/proprietary/
EDIT:
the proprietary repository, that is added using brunch saga, is the culprit it breaks the build

I managed to get a working build!
The errors point to some missing functions called by hardware/qcom/media/audio/msm7x30/AudioHardware.cpp
So I had a look at the code and found that there were two conditions that invoked the problem code:
#ifdef WITH_QCOM_RESETALL
and
#ifdef WITH_QCOM_VOIPMUTE
So I commented out these sections and, voila, it compiled!
Now, I have no idea what is the broader impact of what I've done, but the build work and runs on the phone.
So I'm changing this thread for [Q] to [Partial solution]

Can you please be a bit more specific? The CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga project adds the proprietary files only if you connect your phone and run ./extract-files.sh.
Are you saying:
Don't run extract-files.sh, or
Remove the CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_saga project, which doesn't make sense to me because it includes a lot more than just the proprietary files, or
????

[Guide]How to download/compile specific ROM parts

This is a tutorial about how to download and compile specific parts in aosp based roms (such as CM10)
Written for AOSP noobs like me a year ago.
Note: I wrote this tutorial actually for my blog, as a beginners repo/compile tut, but why not share here
Introduction:
Downloading rom sources is done with the tool “repo”, this is the most awesome downloader in existence. Not only it looks very cool, it also reaches top speed at all times. But it’s only for linux (which is good since when you are busy with aosp roms you should be on linux)
Why is it awesome? Since you decide yourself how many jobs (aka connections) you make with the server. This means you always will get top speed, there is probably no faster download method available on the Internet (except for speedtests, but they don’t count). Next to the downloading of specific parts it’s of course also handy to know how to actually compile them.
Download:
The easiest way of fetching for example a batch of AOSP apps is like this:
1. Choose the desired tag you want to use, in the example I will use android-4.2.2_r1
2. Now make a dir somewhere:
Code:
- mkdir ~/aosp-apps
- cd ~/aosp-apps
3. Download repo when not installed yet:
Code:
- curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
- chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
4. Enter the line that will download the initial manifest.
for AOSP:
Code:
- repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.2.2_r1
Enter your name and email address and wait until it completes
for CM
Code:
- repo init -u https://github.com/Cyanogenmod/android -b cm-10.1
5. Go in the hidden “.repo” dir and change the manifest
Code:
- cd .repo
- gedit manifest.xml (if you don’t have decent text editor such as “gedit”, install it! “sudo apt-get install gedit”
)
For example when you only want to download the apps, just remove all lines that are not app related. simple as that:
Code:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<manifest>
<remote name=”aosp”
fetch=”..” />
<default revision=”refs/tags/android-4.2.2_r1″
remote=”aosp”

<project path=”packages/apps/VideoEditor” name=”platform/packages/apps/VideoEditor” />
<project path=”packages/apps/VoiceDialer” name=”platform/packages/apps/VoiceDialer” />
</manifest>
When done, save it and go a dir back in the terminal
Code:
- cd ..
6. Download the packages
Code:
- repo sync -j16 (-j16 stands for 16 jobs max. This is for around a 100mbit line)
(With my 60mb/s connection I get max speed 7.2mb/s at -j8)
The packages will be download as quickly as possible to your harddrive now.
Compile:
To compile the obtained packages separately you will need a AOSP environment (or CM/AOKP etc). When you have a succesfull environment which is able to compile for your device you may enter:
Code:
- source build/envsetup.sh
- lunch (now choose your device, for example, full_ariesve-userdebug)
- now you’re theoretically ready to compile
to compile an app on the easiest way:
Code:
- make Appname -j8
where “Appname” is the name of the folder placed in packages/apps/..
This also counts for “SystemUI” which is not in that folder.
Code:
- make Calculator -j8 (for example)
And the -j param again stands for the number of jobs, remember that this is compiling and not downloading, so the “standard rule” with this is, number of cores of your CPU + 1.
Which makes a regular quad core (-j5) but makes a i7 CPU with Hyper threading (-j9). When using -j16 for example there could be moments that your cpu will be overloaded so much that your mouse will lag all over the place.
(Linux forces the cpu to perform higher then it actually should, resulting in a very strange fan sound in my case)
When having trouble, when it stops or just nags about some useless stuff.
You should try using the “-k” param, this tells the make command to keep going when a non-critical error occurs.
Code:
- make Calculator -k -j8
When having issues with the local module tags, you should enter this:
Code:
- make Calculator -k LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS=optional -j8
To compile other parts you also need to enter the folder name, here are some examples from /frameworks/base
Code:
- make policy (the power menu and lockscreen)
- make framework (the initial framework files)
- make framework-res (the initial framework resources)
- make services (the services.jar file)
or more examples:
Code:
- make sdk (builds the android sdk)
- make modules (builds all modules)
- make installclean (removes all staging directories, such as out/target/product/boardname/system)
- make clean (removes the whole /out directory)
:silly:

Good Job
this isnt so bad I will be giving your guide to people from my community who want to compile.
only problem is the cm branch you put jellybean you should put cm-10.1 if you are using googles 4.2.2 source
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1

Can you teach me everything you know
Do you know how to cherry Pick? I need help merging it when it conflicts other strings
I want to learn everything im only 15 and I have time to learn now.
I plan on eventually building my own rom based off aosp here's my github
https://github.com/TeamRegular
I took a look at your projects and tutorials you are awesome.

This looks like a great tutorial :good: and when I saw it I thought it might answer a question I've been thinking about for a while now: would it be possible to compile Pie controls from Paranoid Android into one independent app?
I'm a n00b at compiling anything, I've attempted (and failed) to compile a kernel, so could you give me some direction on how air would do this? Thanks :laugh:

[GUIDE]Building any ROM from source for HTC One S aka ville!

Do you know about a ROM that it's not builded for our beloved One S? Do you want to port it for our device? This easy guide will help you.
Requirements:
A One S.
A relatively recent computer (Linux, OS X, or Windows) w/a reasonable amount of RAM and about 35 GB of free storage. The less RAM you have, the longer the build will take. Using SSDs results in faster builds than traditional hard drives.
A micro USB cable.
A decent Internet connection & reliable electricity
Some familiarity with basic Android operation and terminology. It would help if you’ve installed custom roms on other devices and are familiar with what a recovery image such as ClockworkMod is, for example. It may also be useful to know some basic command line concepts such as cd for “change directory”, the concept of directory hierarchies, that in Linux they are separated by /, etc.
​HERE IS THE GUIDE.
Installing Build Packages
Open the terminal and type: (for 64-bit&32-bit)
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex git-core gnupg gperf libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
In addition to the above, for 64-bit systems:
Code:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev
Creating Directories
In order to start building ROMs you'll need to create some directories
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/yourworkingdirectory
Installing the REPO command
Enter the following to download the "repo" binary:
Code:
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
Now lets give this the proper permissions to make it runnable:
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Put the ~/bin directory in your path of execution
Make sure that the ~/bin directory you just created is in your path of execution so that you can easily run the repo command even when you're not in ~/bin.
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
Initialize the source repository
Code:
cd yourworkingdirectory
Now you'll need the repo init related to the rom you'd like to build. Here i will insert some of the I used. Anyway to find this you can go the rom's github and search for the manifest (android or platform-manifest).Just choose the right branch.
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
repo init -u git://github.com/LiquidSmooth/android.git -b kitkat
repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b kk4.4-caf
Download the source code
This will download all the source code to your computer.Prepare to wait a long time while the source code downloads.
Code:
repo sync
Download device,kernel and vendor tree for Liquid
We will use CM ones. Thanks a lot.
Basically we need to add some projects to the download list. To do this we'll need a local_manifest.
Go in the .repo folder in your working directory(it's an hidden folder press ctrl+h). Create a new folder called "local manifests" then double click on it. Now you'll have to create a roomservice.xml file for the most of the ROMs and a slim_manifest.xml for SlimRoms, it's the same thing just the name it's different.
Open this file and paste this inside:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="github"
fetch="git://github.com/" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_ville" path="device/htc/ville" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_s4-common" path="device/htc/s4-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8960" path="kernel/htc/msm8960" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>
Now give another:
Code:
repo sync
and wait.
Do some modifications to the .mk files
Since we are using CM device tree we need to modify them for the choosen ROM.
Go into the device folder(device/htc/ville) and do some modifications. I will explain you what i mean using LiquidSmooth as example.
1) Create a new file called vendorsetup.sh . Open it and inside you'll have to write a script to add it to the lunch list.
Code:
add_lunch_combo liquid_ville-userdebug
You can choose if you want an userdebug version of the rom or an eng one just by writing eng instead of userdebug.
2) Now rename cm.mk into liquid.mk(for other ROMs this file should be renamed in a different way. Use an existing device tree to see the correct naming.)
3) Open the .mk file. You'll find something like this:
Code:
# Release name
PRODUCT_RELEASE_NAME := ville
# Boot animation
TARGET_SCREEN_HEIGHT := 960
TARGET_SCREEN_WIDTH := 540
# Inherit some common CM stuff.
$(call inherit-product, vendor/cm/config/common_full_phone.mk)
# Inherit device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/htc/ville/device_ville.mk)
# Device naming
PRODUCT_DEVICE := ville
PRODUCT_NAME := cm_ville
PRODUCT_BRAND := htc
PRODUCT_MODEL := One S
PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER := HTC
# Set build fingerprint / ID / Product Name ect.
PRODUCT_BUILD_PROP_OVERRIDES += PRODUCT_NAME=htc_ville BUILD_FINGERPRINT=htc_europe/ville/ville:4.1.1/JRO03C/128506.8:user/release-keys PRIVATE_BUILD
You need to modify some things to make it buildable:
Code:
# Inherit some common CM stuff.
$(call inherit-product, vendor/cm/config/common_full_phone.mk)
becomes:
Code:
# Inherit some common LiquidSmooth stuff.
$(call inherit-product, vendor/liquid/config/common_phone.mk)
To understand the changes you'll have to go in the vendor folder searching the rom specific vendor and open the config folder to see what .mk file you need.You need to use your brain to understand what you should write instead of cm every ROM has different naming conventions.
This:
Code:
PRODUCT_NAME := cm_ville
becomes:
Code:
PRODUCT_NAME := liquid_ville
4) Now rename cm.dependencies in liquid.dependencies(SlimRoms does not require this step for unsupported devices.)
Start the build
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
If you created the vendorsetup.sh in the right way you will read the ville folder.
Code:
lunch
Now you have to choose the number near the ville in the list of the supported devices.
If you have done all in the correct way in your terminal you'll see a page like this:
View attachment 2470228
Build
After lunching you have to start the build using the right command:
For liquid:
Code:
time mka liquid
For others:
Code:
make bacon
make
brunch devicename
Wait some time till the build ends hopefully with no errors.​
Now You could think that i forgot you hboot 2.16 users.But this is not true. This is a cherry-pick that let you build every rom for 2.16 hboot.
Code:
cd device/htc/ville
git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.org/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_ville refs/changes/47/53647/9 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
Since you have no 4.4 recovery you'll need this other step:
Code:
Flashable via normal TWRP
add this line
SKIP_SET_METADATA := true
in device/htc/s4-common/BoardConfigCommon.mk
cherry-pick i think.
Code:
cd workingdirectory/build
git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.org/CyanogenMod/android_build refs/changes/59/53559/6 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
​
Credits: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_ville
and all the experience i got in this 2 months of building.

For most ROMS you'll have some overlays errors.
Just go in the overlay folder linked in the error and open config.xml. Just delete the lines in the error or search in the folder history the commit that you have to revert.
To revert a commit:
Code:
cd intheinteressedfolder
git revert thenumberofthecommit
Here is a screenshot of the what the number/name of the commit is:

Download device,kernel and vendor tree for Liquid
We will use CM ones. Thanks a lot.
Basically we need to add some projects to the download list. To do this we'll need a local_manifest.
Go in the .repo folder in your working directory(it's an hidden folder press ctrl+h). Create a new folder called "local manifests" then double click on it. Now you'll have to create a roomservice.xml file for the most of the ROMs and a slim_manifest.xml for SlimRoms, it's the same thing just the name it's different.
Open this file and paste this inside:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="github"
fetch="git://github.com/" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_ville" path="device/htc/ville" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_s4-common" path="device/htc/s4-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8960" path="kernel/htc/msm8960" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0" />
</manifest>
Now give another:
Code:
repo sync
and wait.

@phoenixita I had followed your guide and now I have the 3.0 liquid smooth build and it boots.
But the build process was very slow, my computer needed 4 hours to build this. Does it need only at the first building process so long or it's my computer ?
If I want to build paranoid android, what do I need to change?

Yes you need to download each source for each ROM you want to build in its own directory

Google how to set up ccache. It will reduce the time of the builds after you first initial build using it

If you are just starting to build. Pick a different ROM than omni. It has a few more changes that needs made than the ones in this guide. And it will error with invalid integers which will be difficult for a new builder to fix.

Your problem is not because of the "msm8998-common-vendor.mk" does not exist", you need to solve the nsjail/sandboxing error. You received a nsjail error in the build process before you got the "msm8998-common-vendor.mk does not exist" error.
You need to solve that first, then, if you continue get the "does not exist" error, then you need to find the solution to that error after solving the nsjail error.
