So I have been working on this for a while trying to get things to cross compile, and i got this to compile it is the Source and the program runs on the nook. Next we will have to write our new init.rc to mount our own os. Someone will have to help me with some research, but I just thought you should know.
Here are the files:
2nd-init.tar

Jeeze idk, i completely forgot about this thread until you guys posted on it. I never did to much testing. This was mostly done in concurrence with the Kexec-Mod since i had the toolchain up and running. If i remember correctly it did generate the second init file, don't know if it ever loaded it, but i can work on it some more if people want. I was hoping some one would point me in the direction they needed me to go with this.

Pratically.. it's the method with many motorola phone (with locked bootloader) can run custom roms like cyanogemod.
However the problem is it requires kexec mod.

Sorry, but you're wrong.
From this source use the Hijack method. This mean you can instal a custom rom, but you can't replace the kernel or bootloader.
From the source:
It's also important to remember that 2nd-init does NOT unlock the bootloader, nor does it allow you to run a custom kernel. It simply allows us to utilize the kernel that is there for our own means
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That method is good enough to run CM9 and it's relative simple to port.
The kexec method is something different, but better: is a system call that enables you to load and boot into another kernel from the currently running kernel.
kexec performs the function of the boot loader from within the kernel.... essentially a hijack to allow us to call another kernel as a function of the stock one, allowing us to bypass the locked bootloader.
Source
Someone has had success with this method
See this twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/androidnemith
@AndroidNemith just have seen your photo with the CWM on the Nook tablet. How did you do that since the Bootloader is locked ?
@PetePetePete1 Hijacking . Same way moto defy and others are doing it. Right now i am kicking it manually looking for a better way now.
@AndroidNemith can you show your current state XDA developers, because they are still searching for a method to get a custom bootloader

Hi guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. Recently, I purchased a Nexus One, and so I was able to port this kitchen so that it can now successfully create a rooted Nexus One custom ROM.
The kitchen works for the Nexus One but is still found at the HTC Hero Android Development subforum, so I'll probably get someone to move it to a common forum eventually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Enjoy!
WOW, thanks, cant wait to try

No problem, I'm trying to get Wi-fi tethering working as well, as the Nexus One requires some additional steps to get it to work. I asked in the Wireless Tether thread.. maybe someone knows?
I'm going to check this out, may be just what I needed
Wow thanks a lot, very kind of you to do this! Setting up now
Ok, I have now updated the kitchen to version 0.20, so that Nexus One owners can now cook in the Wireless Tether. As you might know already, for the Nexus One the wireless tethering app requires a kernel modification (which is kind of complicated for the Average Joe), so the kitchen does all that for you automatically. I just used the modified kernel that is provided in the Wireless Tether project page.
ROM ROM ROM ya boot..
Works really well, although it might be better (under OSX) to make the disk bigger than 500mb.
I found the simplest way to use the soylatte java was to extract it, put it on my Kitchen disk and then simply modify the menu by adding
Code:
PATH=/Volumes/Kitchen/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin/:$PATH
at the top. Saves screwing up any other java dev work going on
Tested it with a Nexus One Cyanogen rom, works nicely for stripping out stuff I don't want and adding what I do.
Good Job. Thanks!

worked nicely for me too. set up a virtual machine on my macbook and loaded latest ubuntu plus jdk. ...changed splash ...stripped an apk ...added in motoapps for exchange calendar ...added a wifi tether direct instead of tool ...dropped in a few extra media sound files. the output zip flashed no problem and all tweaks (through very-very minor) working.

I don't think the Nexus One has the storage capacity to flash a Desire ROM - has been mentioned in this forum in some threads. You have to take stuff out to save space.

Hey guys
First of all: I'm not good in develop! But i want to start with CM porting to our Gen8
I just get some infos from chulri how to port CM.
What have to be do:
Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
Extract some Gen8 Binaries
Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
I started a Thread at the CM Forum about this I'll report here..
( http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/24048-cm-port-to-archos-gen8/ )
Extract some Gen8 Binaries
I hope chulri will answere me soon so i can do this
Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
This have to be done from a guy who has Kernel Knowledge! Anyone?
If anyone's interested i could send a link with an how to, i've found onthe web
Everybody is invited to help to getting this Project started!
Greetz,

I'm not a great porter, but I've shadowed a lot of porting with the cm roms, I'll try to do my part if you host the project on something like github(both kernel and rom). I also have a little bit of kernel development experience.

I think he mean the step of porting CM7 to gen8 is:

2.Extract some Gen8 Binaries
3.Build the Kernel with Touchscreen Drivers
so, step 1 should be "1.Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8"..

Oh, well I've never really created a build script before but there are plenty of guides instructing on how to do so.
Extracting the binaries usually consists of adb pulling all of the binaries required for the complication that are proprietary/closed source. I suppose you could just copy/paste them to your sdcard then copy to a computer if adb weren't around but that's just extra work.
As to which binaries we need, I'm not sure yet but we can cross that bridge in a bit.
To make the build script, we should probably analyze other build scripts for other devices and the directories for them.
This thread might aid in development, I doubt they have the build scripts for archos but they at least have examples in the program I'm sure and other tools to use.

Also for whoever attempts to get a functional kernel for cm7 this page may be useful(or possibly me just making sure I read this later)

Okey, i know this Thread, its great except the fact it don't support Archos ^^
I'll send a message at these guys about archos devices and parallels about our gen8 devices ad supported devices, so we could create our own script to do it from scratch like they've do
But i now i go to bed^^
To start with build scripts I would recommend to find a device - which is supported by CM, if there even is one - which has similiar hardware as the Archos Gen8 series and start from there instead to start from scratch.
If there is no such similiar device series you unfortunately would have to start from scratch

Yes, CPU might be the most important common part, then WiFi/BT, DSP (for hardware acceleration of videos), Sound, Touchscreen and in the end USB host port.

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.

That's XDAndroid's repo for kernels... There's a .35 and .39 tree there as well.

Thanks for clearing that up
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!!
Thanks!!
Sorry for my english!

Yeah i know that...im asking for a user's entirely noob guide...1st time user guide...google is full with guides but not so novice guides!!
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.

ill give it a try thanks!!!
After reading a lot of guides...i can say that i didnt find anything so hard but i haven't try it so far so i can say for sure...but i stuck in one thing...somewhere on all the guides it sais to find your device tree...and many guides that are from samsung or htc using some github and some cyanogen brances...i have an huawei ideos x5 pro...where i will find those trees?do i need them for making the android source work with my device or the source from google is universal meaning that when im build the rom from sources.android.com the rom will work in my device??

You must have a device tree... If not you have to build your own... The rom built from source.android.com will only work with google nexus devices...

look for a device with similar hardware and copy that device tree, then try to make adjustments to get it working and voila. and ask that one dev if he can give you his device tree

if u r good at linux, u can try this guide >>> http://handycodeworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/linux_versus_android.pdf
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
