I am trying to build AOSP. I have followed some instructions and the best are the instructions of Sony. But when I come to the point to clone the local_manifests, I need to have another file. I have found the AOSP-bacon repo on github where is a local_manifests to clone. So I have done that but when I try to sync the repo with the command 'repo sync' it gives this back:
[email protected]:~/android$ repo sync
fatal: remove-project element specifies non-existent project: platform/build
I have searched but could not find the answer what to do now. Can someone help me or say what I need to do to build AOSP?

try deleting platform/build manually from the source and delete the same from the local_manifest.xml file then do a repo sync.

Hello xda,
I had a little time on my hands the other night, and wanted to figure out a way that I could work on any of the project repositories needed to build say, aokp, cyanogenmod, aosp, etc... without having to connect to the internet.
Mirroring is not new. Simple enough to:
Code:
mkdir cm-mirror
cd cm-mirror
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1 --mirror
repo sync -j[dl-jobs]
then create a working directory:
Code:
cd ..
mkdir cm-work
cd cm-work
repo init -u file:///Volumes/Android/cm-mirror/CyanogenMod/android.git --reference /Volumes/Android/cm-mirror/ -b cm-10.1
repo sync # no jobs needed. super fast.
But at this point you only have what you need for cm-10.1. What if you also have work you are doing for 10.1.0? Or an old update to make for cm-7.2.0?
I originally started looking for a solution to sync every branch in the manifest one at a time, but while talking with cdesai he showed me a really clean way of getting the repositories directly from gerrit.
Anyways, here is the resulting script. Let me know your thoughts.
I've moved the script to a git repository here: https://github.com/bhundven/repo-mm
in case anyone wants to contribute.
I've also written a post on my blog about using the new gerrit-mirror.sh on gh.
ChangeLog
Changes:
[06/30/13]: Announce some updates to gerrit-mirror.sh, and blog post.
[06/24/13]: Moved gist to github project.
GitHub for repo-mm.
i' m following a guide to try builiding my first rom and i don't understand a step
"6. After the repo sync finally finishes, all you need to do is add your device, kernel, vendor specific files for the device you are building for."
Where can i find these things? Is there a command i should give in the terminal?
I've searched a little but not found anything...any hint would be accepted!

What rom are you building? If CM10.1 or CM10.2 just follow the instructions on
wiki.cyanogenmod.org - w - Build_for_ville
(sorry, cannot post the link since I don't have enough posts Just replace - with /)
I guess your point 6 refers to items 2.7-2.9 where prebuilt apps, device-specific code (e.g. kernel etc.) and other
proprietary drivers are copied to your source code.
To init for CM10.1, use
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
for CM10.2 use
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
Hope this helps. good luck

i think i'm building it from source lol
Hello,
I'm just starting to dive into the world of android development.
Therefor I wanted to have a look at the CM source code for my One S and maybe build it on my own.
What I did:
I followed this wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_ville
When did everything start to go wrong:
$ repo sync @ http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_ville#Download_the_source_code
$ repo sync ends with errors on checkout:
error: packages/apps/Settings/: CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings checkout 561d03e5163df4f8b3265d0db3e46fa649b4058d
error: prebuilts/eclipse/: platform/prebuilts/eclipse checkout 127a8c3026fc57fdb7cd0f5183a94043f45e4afe
error: prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/: platform/prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6 checkout b4a17d2eddd3d40bc665260c40d7bd38fe7b1e7b
and
$ brunch ville fails
I've already searched google but didn't find anything appropriate...
I hope someone can help me resolving this issue.
I'm quite new to Linux and Git, so maybe I'm missing some basics.
Thank you in advance!

I did do a cm11 repo sync to update my source and now i get this:
Fetching projects: 99% (471/475) Fetching project CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email
fatal: remote error:

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".

Can I copying from different version, for example : jellybean-stable > cm10.1/cm10.2?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.
