TIME TO MOVE ON
i wil be on xperia section
i am happy that i could help this section
Best Regards, Happy Cookling and Programing!
Hy all
I started this tread because the interest to android is growing
I invite all people with linux knowledge or C programing skills to join
If you know some hardware programing is better
We need
- developpers
- testers
i will not post an guide how to setup the compiler and set variables
if you dont know this stuff please stick to Google Android thread and dont post here stupid questions as IT IS READY / WHEN WILL IT BE READY
WE DO THIS IN OUR SPARE TIME AND WE HAVE FAMILY AND LIFE
So shell we invite the penguin to our phones?

Build Instructions for the ones that want to help
- Create working dir:
Code:
mkdir ~/android-kernel
- Go to the dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel
- Clone the Linuxtogo GIT:
Code:
git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git
- Go into newly created dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel/kernel
- Create a new branch, call it htc-msm and link it to the official htc-msm development branch:
Code:
- Descend into the "main" android dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel
- Get toolchain:
Code:
wget http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_too...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- maybe you need to rename the just downloaded file (because after .tar.bz2 wget has added ?lite=arm). (HINT FOR LINUX-NEWBIES: USE TAB TO COMPLETE KNOWN FILENAMES!! - In this case type: mv arm(TAB) arm(TAB) -> backspace till 'bz2' is the last word)
Code:
mv arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2\?lite\=arm arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- unpack the toolchain:
Code:
tar -xjf arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- ascend again into the 'kernel' directory:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel/kernel
- make the kernel:
Code:
git checkout -b htc-vogue origin/htc-vogue
You also have to use
Code:
make vogue_defconfig ARCH=arm
- export path so the newly downloaded toolchain will be used instead of your default compiler (which would compile for your computer instead of your phone):
Code:
export PATH=~/android-kernel/arm-2008q1/bin:$PATH
- make the zImage-file:
Code:
make zImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
Now the zImage file is created inside the directory kernel/arch/arm/boot.
When uploading this to your phone, remember that you only have to replace the zImage after each kernel build - the Linux environment on top of the kernel can just stay the same, so initrd (which is the ramdisk filesystem) can stay the same.

I have knowledge of both C and linux so I vollunteer
hi,
i can be a tester... also i have some little linux knowledge...
I have limited knowledge of both c and linux, so I possibly could help.
It seems useful however to setup an SVN or something, so even 'non-registered' developers can write patches and submit them for review. You can set up such an SVN for free at assembla.com, together with a wiki, TRAC and more. They even say you can ask for more storage space and stuff if your project is an open-source project.
If you have such an SVN developers like me can help without making any false promises of some sort.
I hope you know what I mean, it sounded better in my head
i know linux and i can do beta tester. i'm studying engineering too.
i also know linux and a bit of C...i can do testing too.
as you already know, I'm in too for development...
i will try the new kernel asap...
I tried this kernel and indeed, the keypad works on mine!
(touched the TS though, just because you said I wasn't allowed ) It froze, so reboot...

I believe by the end of this year or somewhere in the beginning of 2009 Google is making a system for creating software input methods, which would theoretically allow us to write an application that would reroute direct hardware input. I think. We'll have to see what the future will (or the talented developers here) bring.
man, awesome!!! good job, jerpelea. keys work great!!

What's the error?
What version of windows?
Make sure you set the path in windows to the java /bin directory.
something like: c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin

Hi guys, I would like to ask you what IDE's and other software I need to make and modify android roms. I am particularly looking at helping with ICS production. I know java and some C++ if this helps, I am unsure of what to use whether that be eclipse or some other IDE/SDk. Also there are a few file types I am unfamiliar with and want to know how to edit those such as .so's and other files. Thanks P500 community you guys are awesome D
If you haven't already, I'd highly reccomend setting up a build environment and trying to sync the cm repos. Once you have the code, you can play around and see what you need from there, in terms of an IDE.

Read some android books.you already know c++ and Java so you will become good dev.
For playing with code you need.
Ubuntu.
Notepad.
sdk & adb.
And this "good luck!"
Yeah! Actually even i am interested in learning.
I know c/c++. No java yet
I'll be finishing my exams on the 3rd of may and would have around 2 months of vacations to learn
So guidance would really be appreciated. Do we need a separate sdk for linux based os? I have sdk on windows, isnt that enough?
What is the advantage of using linux for android development? I have backtrack(ubuntu based) on vmware. Will it do?
Essential Software:
Ubuntu 11.10 (dual boot not virtual machine, it's too slow)

I'm assuming you're coming from Windows since you don't know what a .so file is (like I did when starting). .so files are android's versions of .dll files. 'executables' don't have a file extension. Kernel modules use the .ko extension.
(I think .so means shared object, .ko means kernel object. Makes sense to me anyway )
The worst thing about starting is simply the sheer size of the project, it is a whole operating system we are dealing with here!
Start simple and easy, follow the instructions on how to make your own build and flash it. (and feel proud you have your own build string in about phone!) Then do it again without the instructions. (harder than it sounds )
The programming side may not be such a problem for you if you already know it. I didn't know anything. reading library files written in c++ ain't so bad, but getting used to how an android app is written in java was a huge mindf**k for me at first.It still is actually
I'm really just your average code hacker, I just hack based on educated guesses but I have taken copious notes on what I do and how things work. Seriously, I have two A5 notebooks full of lists, commands, file locations, diagrams and other tips I've found over the past 6 months.
Prepare to read a lot, be confused a lot, say WTF?!?!?! a lot, delighted when you make your first changes and they work, a ton of waiting for builds to finish and perhaps a bit nervous when you are ready to submit your first commit to CyanogenMod...
Can't we practice on something less taxing than the the whole cyanogenmod, like maybe some prebuilt system apps?
I have allocated 2.9gb of ram and enough cpu to my vm for it to run smoothly so speed isn't really an issue here
Will backtrack do or would ubuntu be better(backtrack is a network security related os based on ubuntu only)
And how important is java. I have two months of almost pure vacations(just have to make a project) so time wont be much of an issue and i'll anyway be doing java in a year or two at college so starting now wont be any harm.
BTW just curious why is g+ account an essentiality here?
Edit
Oh and yeah ill be switching from win to linux and that IS going to be a pretty big problem :/
I don't even properly know what a kernel is and what it does.
Edit2
Iv added you to my circles adfad please add me.

I think it can't know I've added another device. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? I'm sure it's something pretty stupid...
P.S. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10
EDIT: Ok, I think I've done something wrong syncing androidmeda sources.
What I've done is:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ repo init -u git://github.com/androidmeda/cm_device_lge_p500.git
repo initialized in /home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ repo sync
Fetching projects: 100% (248/248), done.
Syncing work tree: 100% (248/248), done.
I've done this for git://github.com/androidmeda/cm_vendor_lge_p500.git and git://github.com/androidmeda/lge-kernel-msm7x27.git too. I can't see them though.
Solved the problem. Cloned androidmeda's device folder into device/lge/p500
EDIT2: FINALLY COMPILING!
EDIT3:
Code:
make: *** Nessuna regola per generare l'obiettivo "device/lge/p500/init.p500.usb.rc
It's 'No rule to make target'. I don't know what to do, I can't even find that file, but I've got a file called init.thunderg.usb.rc
Solved renaming init.thunderg.usb.rc to init.p500.usb.rc. It's compiling now

</manifest>
I have no local_manifest.xml. Do I have to create it? Or do I have to add these three lines to manifest.xml (which is in .repo folder)? And do I have to add toolchain too?

And does it need to defragment, or is it safe just like that?

yea I did that... but did anyone try it on XP, it says it failed incompatibility tests or something (same error I got when trying to install windows 7 video drivers on xp) and I don't wanna risk, anyone?
I don't think it's good to install ubuntu to compile android in a virtual machine, I think the compilation would be too slow. I'm sorry I can't help you, I've installed ubuntu from a Live CD and I didn't have many problems with the installation process.
BTW, added the three lines to manifest.xml synced repo. It's compiling well using make -j4

if you have enough ram and a good enough processor there shouldnt be any problem in using a virtual machine. i use backtrack with 2.9/4gb ram and am able to use both windows7 and backtrack simultaneously without any problems/lag
I have an i5 2.3-2.9GHz
Sure it depends on what you want to compile. It was just a suggestion to compile faster. You probably won't notice lag, but it will take more to compile everything.

Architekt is a custom Virtual Machine that can be used with Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux. It includes everything you need to sync with the repo of your choice (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, AOSP, etc) and start compiling Android ROMs. This version includes Java 6 for compiling Gingerbread thru Kitkat. To compile Android L, switch to OpenJDK7.
Features:
- Latest Arch system
- XFCE Desktop Environment
- All necessary packages for compiling
- No junk (games, etc)
- Geany for editing code
All you have to do is download the source!
The only requirement is that your host machine supports a 64 bit OS. 32 bit systems will not work!
Instructions:
1. Download and install VirtualBox for your host system from here.
2. Download the latest architekt zip archive and extract architekt.ova to your hard drive.
3. Start VB, click File > Import Appliance. Select "Open Appliance" and choose architekt.ova, then click Next to import the virtual machine.
4. Highlight architekt in VirtualBox Manager and open Settings. Under "System" you will want to give it more RAM and Processor Cores. The higher these values are, the faster you will compile ROMs.
5. Start the machine, pull up a terminal and initialize a git repo. Once the source is finished downloading, you're ready to go!

You might want to try BuilduntuVM instead.
Architekt is getting pretty dated, and I don't have any time or plans to update it. BuilduntuVM received a lot more attention and is up to date with the latest versions of OpenJDK etc. for compiling Android M.

Thank you
I'm looking for a Android studio emulator engineering GSI build so I can develop (debug) system apps that use android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" on the manifest. Where can I download them and how do I create a AVD to be used in android studio ? I'm looking for Android 8 or 9.

All I did was Google "Android studio emulator engineering GSI" as reflected on the following link...
https://www.google.com/search?q=Android+studio+emulator+engineering+GSI
... and the very first result was to the following link...
https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi
... and if you go to that link, and scroll down a bit, you'll see the category "Downloading GSIs" that provides you with what your looking for.
If it's not on that page, then it's not available (yet) but, It looks like it is available.
Good Luck!

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my Enigma Machine {aenigma = Latin for "Riddle" AND Nickname for "My Ex-Wife"}.
I had already looked at that page but the information is confusing. There's a page containing various userdebug builds for download for android pie:
https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-pie-gsi/grid?
There are three types of builds: eng, userdebug, and user; I'm looking for the eng type, which uses the platform test keys.
The other problem, is that if you follow one of the links you'll land on a artifacts page containing many files that can only be downloaded one by one: https://ci.android.com/builds/submitted/5467499/aosp_arm64-userdebug/latest/
I haven't found an engineering build, only userdebug and I have no ideia on how to download all the files in the artifacts page, but the main problem is that I found no instructions on how to setup an AVD that can be used on Android Studio and Windows 10.

Hmm... I've never, personally, looked into this using this type/specific avenue before myself.
I'm just thinking that, maybe/possibly, either @Qui Peccavit, @Droidriven or even @osm0sis may be able to provide a better answer/guidance to help you out with this.
I do wish you the best of luck with this!

Out of my wheelhouse, unfortunately. @phhusson is the GSI master.
I think that userdebug builds built by ci.android.com are signed with AOSP test keys, so that's good enough for you?
I don't really know how to plug in Android Studio with it though, but I heard it's quite easy
@phhusson, I just confirmed that a userdebug build uses the platform test keys; I unpacked a system.img from a userdebug build, checked the SystemUI.apk certificate, using keytool -printcert and the SHA1 is: 27:19:6E:38:6B:87:5E:76:AD:F7:00:E7:EA:84:E4:C6:EE:E3:3D:FA (the sha1 from the google platform test keys)
So...all I need to know is, using these files: https://ci.android.com/builds/submitted/5467499/aosp_arm64-userdebug/latest/
How do I create a AVD that I can use on Android Studio in Windows ? Any ideias?
@phhusson, you were right: its easy to get a userdebug build signed with AOSP test keys, they are available for download on Android Studio in the AVD manager section:
Go to Tools > AVD Manager > + Create Virtual Device > Select Phone, Nexus 5X > Next > Select X86 Images > Select Pie, Api Level 28, ABI x86_64, Target Android 9.0. > Next, etc, download and install.
All builds signed with AOSP test keys are identified by having a target name of Android 9.0, Android 8.1, etc. If you select an image, look at the panel on the right; it should say Android Open Source Project, etc.
All of the other builds of target user are identified with Target "Android 9.0 (Google APi's)" or "Android 9.0 (Google Play)", etc, and those are signed with dev keys, not test keys.
Thanks.
