As we know, android 2.2 has lots of branches, such as android-2.2_r1,android-2.2_r1.1 and so on.
And rightnow samsung has open source their 2.2 version.
But no any further information included in the files.
In order to build the platform source ourselves, we need to know which version of android they are using.
Does anyone knows their extract branch name?
I want to try and compile the oficial gb sources, mainly out of curiosity, but I would love having some clues on how to achieve it.
I'm a coder myself, but I don't know **** about android development. I guess I have to start by installing android sdk but then what? Any hints? A link to a begginer's guide or something would be great.
Sure I can find this info on google (starting the research right now) but maybe you guys can point me into the right direction.
Edit: I've found basic build instructions right inside the ZIP file containing the sources:
Code:
1. Android buid
- Download original android source code (gingerbread) from http://source.android.com
- Untar opensource packages of p500_gb_open_source.tar.gz into downloaded android source directory
- And, merge the source into the android source code(gingerbread)
- Run following scripts to build android
a) . build/envsetup.sh
b) make -j4
- When you compile the android source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain)
into the android folder
( add prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin to PATH )
- After build, you can find output at out/target/product/generic
2. Kernel Build
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain)
into the android folder.
( Add prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin to PATH
ex) export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/gb_original/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin )
- Untar using following command at the android folder
tar zxvf kernel.tar.gz
- cd Kernel
- make thunderg-perf_defconfig
- make zImage -j4
3. After Build, You Can find the build image at arch/arm/boot
4. Compile environment
- gcc 4.4.1
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java 1.6.0_22
I'll continue researching and will post any finds and my progress here if there's anyone interested. Meanwhile you can contribute with anything you can and by the end we may have a good tutorial out of it.
Look at first post from Andy's Gingerbread, he describes what you need.
No need to install Android SDK.
I take sources from codeaurora, merge with LG-source.

Forget about this. LG did not released Android soures. There are kernel only.
Damn... are you sure, Mik?
Have you looked inside the zip? There's 2 tarballs, one for the Kernel and other reading 'p500_gb_open_source.tar.gz'. I tought it was the p500 gb android source files that needs to be merged with the main source code.
Well... that's a real shame.

it is on GB, and it was on FROYO - LG didnt release the complete source code,
only some modifications to the android sources - because not all parts of android
are GPLv1, they doesnt MUST release sources for this parts these arent of GPLv2 or GPLv3 in some cases ...

AFAIK Even with froyo LG didn't publish the WHOLE source,only pieces of it (AFAIK).
I'm still downloading sources from codeaurora, as soon as it's finished I'll merge the changes and we'll see what happens

I can't even download sources,my internet connection freezes everytime I download something (only if speed goes above 350KB/s),so no Eclair build for meh . Gonna kill Telecom Italia soon

sounds like "i download as fast as i can the sources, do a "make gingerbread"
in the command line and release a build to megaupload.com...
i can say, there is a very small knowledge of how to build a android system from source - you need a lot of hours to get the system compiled so that most stuff
is working^^

I know that Andy
I'm not stupid
But you need to download sources and merge LG sourcecode before you can start anyway
So far the simple . build/envsetup.sh, lunch and make seem to work fine with 2.3.4 source, after compiling is complete we'll see if I got a working rom.
If al works fine I can start to modify and build again, so I've got hours and hours of mostly waiting

Lol, look to my sources and compare it to lg's. Theren are nothing usefull except kernel.
After compiling you'll get default android that probably can start in emulator

Nope, it runs on the phone,
did similar thing to build eclair (needed to change some things before I could build) and got it booting to our phone with froyo kernel, only a little hacking needed to get all working. Only gsm and bluetooth are not yet fully working on eclair, other things seem fine so far.
but will take a look at your sources, because you could be right there are better ways
Edit:
GB building is ready and working fine after flashing (using new baseband)
Just tried this because it was fun. Now I'm going back to get eclair fully working
The only GB-build I want to use is CM7, no-one needs just another GB while we have three good ones: Miks CM7, Andy's GB/CM7 and Noejns void #forever and with Franco's kernel these builds rock
Sorry Ciaox, forgot your coming GB-rom
Hi,
I gitted the android source and I successfully built a zip using cyanogenmod 9's repo. However, I am curious to know where the kernel was being generated. I searched through the whole thing and I couldn't find the kernel source in the android source anywhere. Is this something that is pre-compiled and saved as a zImage? I really want to replace this zImage with my own compiled one but I am not sure how to merge the android source and the kernel source into one thing.
Thanks guys,
I know this is fairly noobish but whatevs...
nevermind...Found it in device/htc folder...
Im building Omnirom, from source (im a newbie) and i have succesfully build android 4.4.4 from the official repo.
Now, i want to update that rom, using https://github.com/duvall which has a branch with android 5.1 for my galaxy s2 (i9100)
I haver read some posts, that said that a i have to remove official repo and pull to that custom repo using local manifest. but i dont know how to do that... i dont know what i need to put in that local manifest could anyone help me ?
thanks
Where would I obtain a copy of the aosp source code? I am looking for android 4.4.2. I have a copy of the phone source code that I'm attempting to compile, but I need the android source to merge together. Does anyone have Any tips or ideas? As any would be greatly appreciated.
Umm....I'm not exactly sure what you want but here's all AOSP source code- https://android.googlesource.com/
Cheers,
AJ
Thats perfect bud thank you. I was looking for a kernel and a few other things along the lines of sweetness, and this site had it: ).
