Building AOSP source code

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to build the AOSP source code for the HTC Desire (Bravo). The Android version is Gingerbread. Here comes the problem:
In order to compile for the HTC Desire I need the folder at device/htc/bravo, with all the specific makefiles for this device.
The problem is that I got one from someone that was compiling froyo, and I corrected the errors I was being given. Then, it compiles good but then, at the construction of the OTA package, it throws this:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 784, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 760, in main
WriteFullOTAPackage(input_zip, output_zip)
File "./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 398, in WriteFullOTAPackage
script.WriteRawImage("/boot", "boot.img")
File "/home/zlowram/android/aosp/system/build/tools/releasetools/edify_generator.py", line 241, in WriteRawImage
% {'partition': partition, 'fn': fn})
NameError: global name 'partition' is not defined
make: *** [out/target/product/bravo/htc_bravo-ota-eng.zlowram.zip] Error 1
I can't figure out why is this happening, so I ask your help if anyone have found himself in this situation before. If this question is a bit difficult, I'd be more than happy to be provided with good information on how to compile android for the HTC Desire, with android gingerbread, that leads to a successful and bootable build.
Thank you.
Zlowram

Bump.
No one knows what this error could come from, and how to fix it?

Editing KCM (Keyboard Layout) Files

I have an HTC Status (U.S. AT&T version of Chacha) and, like some other users on this forum, have had some issues with the keyboard mappings changing after rooting the phone. After spending a lot of time browsing/searching these (and other) forums as well as Google, I've concluded a few things about this:
1) The files responsible for the keyboard mappings are chacha-keypad.kcm.bin and chacha-keypad.kl.
2) Changing chacha-keypad.kl will help with the main keys but can't be used to fix mappings of alt+
3) The completely correct chacha-keypad.kcm.bin doesn't seem to be posted anywhere (for U.S. English keyboard). I got one that is almost right, but mappings for alt+V, alt+B, alt+N, alt+M, alt+?, alt+camera, and alt+.com are still off.
Therefore, I will need to edit the chacha-keypad.kcm.bin file myself. I have no problem doing this, as the format of the kcm files seems pretty straight-forward, but I can't figure out how to open the bin file, which cannot be opened directly since it is binary.
I need to convert the kcm.bin to kcm, make the changes that are needed, and then recompile to bin. I found info on doing this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837002&page=4
The above link includes a zip that has a Python script to decompile the bin and then an exe to compile kcm to bin. I'm stuck at the decompiling part. I tried running the unkcm Python script included in the kcm_utils.zip (from the post above), however I get an error message:
Code:
C:\Users\Maya\Downloads\HTC\kcm_utils>python unkcm.py chacha-keypad.kcm.bin chacha-keypad.kcm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "unkcm.py", line 179, in <module>
decompileKCM(f, output)
File "unkcm.py", line 162, in decompileKCM
Out.write(kr.printKR()+"\n")
File "unkcm.py", line 143, in printKR
fmt = (rkeycodes[self.keycode],)
KeyError: 116
I'm attaching the kcm.py and chacha-keypad.kcm.bin files for reference. Can someone please help? Or does anyone know of another way of converting the .kcm.bin files to .kcm files? Or can someone that knows how to do it please provide me with the .kcm version of the attached .kcm.bin file?
Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,
You must add keycodes 116, 117 and 124 (QUECHAR) in unkcm, and also in the .h file used by kcm.
SuperOSR and my latest CM7 build don't use these keycodes but instead are based on the same keycodes as the vision/latte boards.
Code:
"USER1": 97, "USER2": 98, "USER3": 99, "FUNC_1": 116,
"HTC_SHARE": 117, "FUNC_2": 118, "QUECHAR": 124}

Thank you so much for your help! Once I added those codes to the unkcm.py file, I was able to decompile the kcm.bin file and made the changes I needed (sure enough, as I'd expected, the ALT and ALT+SHIFT column had some incorrect values for some of the keys).
I also added the key codes that you mentioned to the kcm source code (KeycodeLabels.h file in the src folder of kcm_utils), and re-compiled the kcm.exe without errors. However, when I tried to run it, I got an error:
Code:
C:\Users\Maya\Downloads\HTC\kcm_utils>kcm chacha-keypad.kcm chacha-keypad.kcm.bin
chacha-keypad.kcm:60: not enough on this line: '?' 0x0 '?' '?'
'#' '#'
Line 60 is the last line in my chacha-keypad.kcm file and is exactly the same format as the other lines, so I'm not sure why I'm getting the above error. Looking at kcm.cpp, I see that the "not enough on this line: ..." message only appears when there is a '\0' (end of line) before it's expected, but I don't understand why that is happening, since the format is the same for all the lines and it only seems to have a problem with the last line.
I'm attaching my chacha-keypad.kcm file, as well as my modified kcm.exe along with the modified source of this kcm app (where I just added the key codes you mentioned in your post to the .h file). Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks again!

thanks

[Q] AOSP Compiling Error

I am currently trying to compile AOSP Gingerbread, and am getting a weird persistent error. I got it to fully build, with small errors relating to me using the CyanogenMod Device files, but when trying to build the otapackage, i get this weird error. Here is the error:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 785, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 760, in main
WriteFullOTAPackage(input_zip, output_zip)
File "./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files", line 376, in WriteFullOTAPackage
script.FormatPartition("/system")
File "/home/daygen/GB/build/tools/releasetools/edify_generator.py", line 166, in FormatPartition
p = fstab[partition]
KeyError: '/system'
make: *** [out/target/product/p999/lge_p999-ota-eng.daygen.zip] Error 1
I tried taking out the one line that formatted system, but it just gave me an error relating to the next line of the file of mounting system. I believe this file creates the script that installs the ROM, but when it errors out about /system, it leaves me to believe that /system isnt a valid mount point, since /data is in the line above in the file without any errors. Any ideas?

anyone know??

What android databases? From what app/file? What are you using to decrypt it?
The error is from a Python script/program. The problem is that you entered some kind of wrong number and that number MUST be a multiple of 16. Please post more info and try using a diffrent tool for this because this one seems not to work.
EDIT:
I see. You are trying to decrypt a WhatsApp database. Try using this website: http://whatcrypt.com

[Completed] No such file or directory: 'framework.mod.jar.out/smali/android/content/pm/PackagePar

Hey guys,
I'm trying to run Needle by Moosd github[dot]com/moosd/Needle and the error I keep getting is:
HTML:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'framework.mod.jar.out/smali/android/content/pm/PackageParser.smali'
What is this file and what path can I find it at? If I just edit the path in the python script, it should fix the error, but I don't know the correct path.
