Hello! I need someone who can create a custom rom based on a rom that I already have. (It is just to insert a bootimage and some specific settings). I can pay the disturb if necessary.
Please contact me at [email protected] if interested.
Thank you,
Dan.
Hi,
I'm currently woring on creating a complete VM and a document with instraction of getting from compile to flahsing from begining.
The complete enviroment will be set and ready with the Stock ROM (currently targeting 4.0.2.A.0.58) and the Android OS.
This will allow users to be able to take this VM and start right a away to change the Stock ROM and integrate changes for that from other modes.
will update this thread when it's done. and links for download (unless someone will be faster the me )
18/12 Update:
Just now finish creating an working and compiling enviroment with 2.3.4_r1 of Android
now working on making it to work with the Sony Ericson source code...

LaBBa.
Hi,
I need a little help here... i have followed the steps in Google:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
and also the Journal:
http://journal.tianhao.info/2010/12/compile-android-gingerbread-on-ubuntu-10-10/
i have compiled the code and got it up and running and also in emulator with the command line that was written in the Journal and the Android is working..
now i try to understand the Sony Ericson guide:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
I have downloaded the ARM cross-compiler and installed it, was really bad instructions on how to install it. but just need to run: sh ./the_downloaded.bin
and installed it correctly
after installing the ARM cross-compiler successfully done a make to the kernel but only after fixing the symbolic link that from some reason was attach to 0x86 arch and not arm.
the paths where different since i used the default installer path and match the same version that they used: 2010q1
so first done this for the .config :
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then run the make:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now i got kernel compiled!
the question is:
i know that with the Android compiling i got 3 files in the /source_android/out/target/product/generic:
1. ramdisk.img
2. system.img
3. userdata.img
do i need to use the ramdisk from the Android for the next steps of SE guide ?
1. Getting a RAM disk and extract it
2. Re-package it with all of the kernel of SE that we just compiled
3. Assembling the boot.img using the mkbootimg
moreover, after i assemble the files i want to make a really clean installation and cleaning all the flash and installing all in a vanilla mod.
what should be the next steps ?
Regards,
LaBBa.
I thought that the community here will help in this small matter so we will have more pepole that could join the efforts of making brtter and cooller roms... I guess I was wrong. All I wanted to do is help the dev community and create the full step by step guide to starting developers in the android world....
Sadly I'm forced to end this thread due to lake of knowledge...

im sorry i would help but i dont know much lol srry no one that knew could or would help
hi,
I hope that you are able to get this working.
i will use it when it is finished
Edit: what have you exactly done?
Maybe i can help
all i wanted to do is to download all the source codes and compile it and then creat the same version (for this case the .58) manually and get to the same images that need to be flahed.
i wanted to create from this a complete tut that others that have allot of knowladge in development could start working without the stragling of setting up an eviroment or all the issues about how to get from compiling to acctuall creating an .img to flash it on your device.
just a simple "out of the box" solution so pepole could get and work right a way without wasting time in assembling the source codes and setting then env.
ok, and where are you?
I mean what have you done for now??
please see the second post.. it's all there..
yes you need that ramdisk for the kernel.
but you need to edit the ramdisk to work with the xperia play.
i can do that, can you upload it??
what i'm going to do now is, i'm going to upload all the VM to the web and write the complete tutrial for all the steps i have done so far and then we could continue. thank you for trying to help!
ok,
if you need some help PM me!
I do not know if you could help. Took three days trying to extract a rom in. Img. I have not been able to and want to work on it to fix several bugs, but not knowing extract can not begin to work on. I leave here the link to see if someone can lend a hand. If someone could extract it and it would be decompiled pasarmela thanks giving for years.

Do not tell me to use a. Zip because it is not possible because the tablet does not support it.
Sorry for my bad English
I hope you can help
A greeting and thanks

Open your defconfig file located in arch/arm/configs
Code:
[I]You will find something like:[/I]
[B]CONFIG_EXT4_FS is not set[/B]
[I]Change it to:[/I]
[B]CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y[/B]
Then you may have to define it in init.rc for the system to mount ext4 partition.
Check this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21885765&postcount=5
You may have to edit something, because that guide is pretty much device-specific, but theoretically everything's just same. Just have a good info about the partition structure of your device.

Hi all, I want to know what images other than boot.img would be required for someone to port CWM Recovery to this phone, I will supply them if someone would be so kind as to port it for me. I would try it but I'm really busy as of late, and can only manage to rip the images. If you're willing to port it then please reply, or drop me an email to [email protected]. Someone please reply asap.
Thanks, DTDMike.

Bump
Unfortunately, as of now the source code for the kernel is not released. I believe that is required to get CWM going.
