Basically what I want to do is take the FRX07 bundle.zip and simply replace that system.ext2 with the one from this build (That's a direct link to the .rar file, btw).
The Sense build comes in system.sqsh form and I have already managed to convert that into a working system.ext2.
My dilemma comes in here.. I need help determining which files I need to replace/modify in the initrd.gz/rootfs/system folder/etc. in order to boot this build with the most current features of FRX07 (rootfs and whatnot).
I have some experience with modifying initrd.gz and rootfs images, but I'm still extremely noobish in the sense that I don't know exactly which coding I must change to get the desired effect.
I appreciate any helpful insight in advance!
EDIT: Also, it would be VERY helpful if someone could explain the functions and purposes of the rootfs.img, initrd.gz, and kernel. I have my speculations and assumptions, of course, but knowing for sure gets me a step closer to what I want. again, thanks in advance!!

90% of the work that went into FRX07 is in system.ext2, not anywhere else. Plus the rootfs itself is designed specifically to work with the system.ext2 from FRX07. That's not to say that it's impossible to modify it, but no forum thread will ever tell you all the changes you'd need to make to get that up and running.

Ohh I see, about the rootfs and the system.ext2. But that's not to say that the work that went into the FRX07 system.ext2 wouldn't be useful for another .ext2
I know the basics of modifying the system and rootfs and I have a general idea of what needs to be done, so all I'm looking for is sorta a nudge in the right direction. I'm not expecting a to-do list, but a little goes a long way.
Plus, I doubt Google would have anything useful on this topic, especially in reference to the Tilt2. Hence, this thread lol.

Couldn't be more wrong. klinux created the Sense build, it was originally called 'rosie' before tiad8 took it and butchered it to make it appear like it was his work...

I noticed his skills in butchering.
what base are you using for the sense build? I have a successful build booting. The problem I have is with the sqsh file. If I unsquash it and try to rebuild it I get an error on boot. How did you convert it over? And do you have a working radio?
Never mind. I got it from the first post. That one is really slow port of Hero build. I have one that is a direct port and a lot smoother with the exception of the radio not working. But I am using completely updated rootfs, kernel, and initrd. The ones from xdandroid work just fine. But I use these kernels. I dunno if they are different from the ones directly from xdandroid site.

Hi all! I'm trying to compile the CM9 for optimus one but I don't understand how to do it! I have already compiled the CM7 and there are successful but don't know where to put files and give commands with the sources of CM9! Can someone give me a hand?
What have you done/tried already?
I compiled the CM7 but I don't know how build the CM9! I don't know who commands give and where to put files
Can you help me?
Lupohirp has already started.to port cm9 to p500 there r still some bugs but it's getting there
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
First sync cm9-source, instead of gingerbread you use ics.
Download device and vendorfiles from github.com/lupohirp.
Create following folders in device: lge and lge/thunderg (in time it will be p500 instead of thunderg)
Also download framework_base from his github and replace all files folder in framework/base in your working folder.

OMG, if you dont know how to solve compiler errors learn coding/bug fixing instead
of ask again and again for every **** error on a forum. Do you realy think someone want
to help you to learn programming??? i think no one will do so.
Compiling a rom from source code is not the right toy for bloody beginners, sorry if it
sounds to hard but this is the real life.

i doesnt said a thing about the one is a bad programmer / another is better. i only
said that its sometimes better to learn things before get started with big projects
that can waste a lot of time. do what you want - its your time, not mine
so I have time to lose! However I managed to compile the cm7 for another phone! I'm having problems with only the cm9 and can't solve it!
Before you try to compile CM9, read Cyanogen's words of wisdom

thats sooo true.
I read what is written and I understand that to compile the rom you need to develop but still do not know (I have only 15 years old)! However, I still try and just wondering if anyone can help me understand!
I can read code, but I can't code. Let me try to point you in a good direction, it has to do with the audio system.

So i came to found about some engengis thing.. i want to know is it just a script...?? what is engengis exactly..??? and also i cant find it.. any help would be appreciated... nd also how to set it up for better nd optimal performance i heard somewhere it is the best script available...
Project was discontinued. It's a pity, because it was the easiest way to tweak your ace without all those untrustworthy scripts (well, most of them, indeed ).
If you want to give it a try, I might PM it to you. Or you could google for Engengis.Delta_v0.5.0.9.zip (flashable through CWM)
I searched for it but I'm not able to find it on Google. Could someone upload it/make a tutorial topic about it? Since it seems to be that good it may be worth it!

Guess iandol is cooking something delicious ...
Ha, no I'm not I forked engengis when it was on github, as this source was open. Engengis contains a build-script which can be used to generate a flashable signed ZIP I use. I have made sure that that repo is synced to the latest version V0.5.5.3 which fixed some important bug to stop sqlite3 being overwritten on first install. I'm using this as my personal code repo for engengis (which is within the scope of the rather weird licence Redmaner gave it). This is not official in any sense, it is a straight fork (aka copy) of the original, I claim no ownership and follows the licence the original had.

I think that how faster the CPU how faster it builds, and I think that more ram also decrease build time? in combo with CPU
and your internet download speed, you must download files
There are hundreds of tutorials howto compile kernel/platform around on XDA. Really it's just matter of using Search.
Building up kernel can take around 5min~2h, building platform can take around 30min~8hours. Everything depends on amount of RAM and CPU cores u got, I'm building up kernel in around 10minutes and platform in about 1h 30mins, got some laptop intel i7 + 4GB RAM. There's way to speedup platform compilation using CCACHE, but it costs alot of disk space.
Compiling is impossible under Windows, even with Cygwin it would be hard to achieve. I'd recommend Ubuntu 10 or 11 (rather avoid 12). Mac will do too.

Many people, including me are experiencing various issues in Ub 12. These are usually fixable simple way but always... it's annyoing.
I would recommend you to use Ubuntu 11.
And download Code Sourcery 2009 which is mandatory for this badadroid project.
And here is a pretty good guide for you,
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186409
That tutorial includes the guide to install Ubuntu also.
If you get stuck anywhere post here or just PM me, i will try to do my best
A note on CodeSourcery2009 - it also isn't fully compatibile with our sourcetree and may fail during compiling WLAN drivers. I switched to AOSP toolchain lately and it works like charm. HOWTO there

I think that you are asking too much and maybe it is time to make the guide yourself . For some devices you can find this kind of "spoon fed" guide, but for most devices you have to figure out how to do most of this your self. The spoon feeding guides can be really helpful depending on how close they are to your own device, but you will actually have to search for them. Another great place to start is xda-university. It took me a few minutes to find this: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source Perhaps this is would be a good place to start....

You can download the sources but you have to understand how local_manifest.xml does it
But why to bother doing that while you can't compile on windows ?!
The sources downloaded are compressed already....just try to follow the TUT and you will find out that there is .repo folder with compressed sources downloaded
I guess i am just too noobish to Linux and don't understand how to fix my sources yet
Currently my main issue is time :S....I've to study to pass this year :S

Hi..im a quite fresh android user after having iphone for the last 4 years....i have a huawei ideos x5 pro that for me at least is a great phone for his price..but the major problem is that we don't have devs for our phone...only one chinese guy that develops roms for at least 7 phones so we aren't his major concern...so im asking if there is a complete noob guide for compiling rom..fixing rom.
i have to tell you and please don't flame that even that i have knowlage over pc's i haven't any knowlage over programming and coding!!so if any guide can't help me it will be ok...i try! but if there is a guide that can help me step by step to understand the basics and then with a bit of research can figure it out the rest it will be helpful!!

There isn't a "type this, click this, A,B,C" guide. That would be called just copying somebody's work. What you need to do is start reading through ALL the guides you can find, compile a kernel, read smali, change colors, mod pictures, unpack-repack boot.imgs. I can't give you a link and say "Read this tutorial and you will be a developer", that's just not how it works.

I compile linux kernels for desktop, but the android kernel is not the same. Cyanogen team and GOOGLE Android developers provides a comprehensive guide on building ur own ROM. But to build ur own OS, u need to understand each component carefully. I don't know abt android, but i am making Linux OS from scratch. I have kernel compiled, tool chain set up, now i am putting apps on it. But android uses DALVIK VM for Java apps, also .... U refer the pdf it will tell u. Once i finish making this OS, i'll focus on Android ROMS. They r similar to Linux OS, but require patches in kernel, a light c lib, new fs, a different vm (dalvik) and different ways of managing i/o interrupts and much more..
this link is on porting android on nokia >> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Porting-Android-to-a-new-device/
this one is on linux on embedded systems >> http://www.lindusembedded.com/blog/2010/12/07/android-linux-kernel-additions/
Also, sorry to say but learn C/C++/Java . To make ROMS, atleast to make modifications and to understand the kernel u'll need C. Not very hard to learn, Good tuts on Lynda.com and other sites. And be good at Linux. Happy Learning
