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.

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

You have two options and they are both mentioned in the stickies right above you..
1) Build one from scratch from AOSP source
2) Build one from an existing ROM

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,
Lenn
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:
1.Build-Scripts for CM on Gen8
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

there is no device similar to our archos that is supported
But is it possible to "mix" it?

Cpu - from a phone that has Arm Cortex A8

we put together all parts
woukd that be possible?
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.

Not sure what you are asking. For the sdk tools, do you mean the android sdk? If so, follow the instructions on the sdk page. For the images, I assume you mean the boot.img and possibly system.img. You do not open these. If you have a system.img, that means you probably have a shipped rom. Use the kitchen to create working folder from rom, and choose this. It should auto extract the system partition. As for the boot.img, you don't generally need to extract this, but there is an option in the advanced settings of the kitchen. You can change your rom's kernel in the boot.img.

Hey Guys!
First of all a bit of encouragement. The android kitchen sure as hell does not turn you into a rom developer. I decided i wanted to use the kitchen just over 2 weeks ago and run ubuntu in a virtual window. From then I decided I did not like windows anymore so installed linux as my main os and had to learn that (trust me getting the graphics card to work was a chore) I finally got the kitchen working tonight and decided to sign up to xda. Even with my limited knowledge I have been able to help someone on here tonight. Read Read Read and ask questions if you can not find the right answers on the forum. Research pays off eventually. (I now softmod nintendo wiis professionally from learning off a forum!!!!) Remember everyone has to start somewhere even if you are a noob and don't get disheartened if someone says you should have read this this and this. As long as you learn from ur mistake I'm sure people wont mind too much.

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.
Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com
Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com

The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

What version of Linux are you running? Are you running Ubuntu? I never had much luck using the Android Kitchen in a virtual environment for some reason. When I installed Ubuntu as my main OS, however, that made all the difference. From there you'll also need to make sure you have the Java Developers Kit (JDK) installed or at least open-jdk (Open source alternative) installed in order to run the Android Kitchen or the SDK for that matter.
There's a really good tutorial on how to set up the SDK on Ubuntu 10.10 or Ubuntu 11.04 which is what I had used to set up the SDK on linux for the first time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
I prefer 10.10 just because I'm not huge on Ubuntu's newer Unity interface and my old laptop seems to run 10.10 a lot better than 11.04 or 11.10 but that's another story.
Once you have the SDK setup, you can then run the kitchen accordingly.
I use a tool called Android Utility by tommytomatoe which is essentially a collection of tools for creating custom ROMs, editing apk's, etc. It just happens to also include dsixda's kitchen which is a nice plus. You can download that here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3303-utility-android-utility-apktooldex2jarsmalimoremac-linuxoct09-2011/
Hope this helps. Good luck, dood!
**Edit** My bad... There's also a thread for Android Utility on XDA also....

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

New year, new attempt...
Maybe someone else is now able to compile own zImage and can give step by step instructions for noobs... like me.
Screenshots allowed.
Also hints how to download sources are welcome. :angel:
Also links etc... feel free to write most usefull hints.
Thanx in advance.

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....
Need 64bits Linux
Maybe this would help http://source.android.com/source/building.html

Thanx Tigrouzen
I need more time for my Linux test PC... because 64 bit seems mandatory...
Meanwhile after I saw this today...
If you look into about phone you will notice that compile date is 8 May
Since that time i was trying several stuff like adding SmartassV2 governor but now my sources are corrupted !
I was trying to commit the changes on my repo but it didn't appear :S

Again few stupid questions...
Backup/Safety related...
1.
If 10 GB uncompressed is downloaded...
Someone tried to compress/Zip source ?
Maybe as ZIP archive less then 1 GB...
Then maybe not the latest Version, but better then downloading 10 GB ever and ever again...
2.
How to achieve Full Download of 10 GB as Windows Fanboy?
First success with 120 MB Zip was here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41350507&postcount=18
Is here 1 Button for Windows user...
Thanx in advance.

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
Maybe other experts right here can help us
Best Regards
Hey guys, i was just wondering if i could make my own rom, or at least compile my personal build of an existing rom, i d love in the future to make a hole working rom with things i like from all roms, but i really dont know where to start.
i dont know much about programming, but i m learn quickly. i d just finished my first year studying sistems engeneering but im still a noob about programming so i d love some help, where to start how to build what language do you use, what IDE, etc, how to compile etc.
at least i ll love to start downloading the source of any of the wonderful roms in this forum and try to compiled it myself, but really i dont know where to start.
thanks a lot guys
pd:sorry i know my english sucks T_T
maybe some tutorials or things to read that helped you when you guys where starting

sorry dont want to be rude but i dont want to try a custom kitchen, i already read about them a lot and they actually dont require any skill or knowledge, they re great to build your rom without knowing anything but they actually dont teach anything in the process.
dont get me wrong, they re amazing. but i want to learn how to build, compile,starting coding and maybe one day be a full developer. that kitchen d only make me feel that im doing something while actually im just pressing keys and moving some files. and getting a rom in return

thanks a lot men i ll read them tonight
Today i succesfully set up a ubuntu virtual machine and now its on repo sync(pacman rom). Today ll make my first build. I also installed eclipse and sdk, started remembering some c basic coding and maybe some day i ll start with java.
My next plan is to learn how to compile the rom with apolo kernel, instead of standard pacman kernel directly from source.
