Hi guys,
I need help. Really I have search on google again again and again but I couldn't find anything about this topic..
My government gave us galaxy (10.1) tablets instead of books. But unfortunately this tablets's OS is not a normal android 3.2; It has been customized and we can't access many applications or other thinks. So I've decided to make a new custom rom for this tablets to offer in a competition of project. I have 2,5 months for this competition and I should make this rom so I need help. I've downloaded the android source (I want to work on 4.1jb) It is 4.2gb on my ubuntu 12.04 and I don't understand anything till see your answer on stackoverflow. I read and have some knowledge about system but It is not enough.. I know c# lang and I know general coding for 4 years.
I should edit the launcher (I said desktop but I don't know how calls It..). It has programs and widgets tabs and I want to put a new tab here. And anyone cannot see programs and widgets tab without any permission. This permission will give students's tablets by teacher ('s tablet). So, students can't play anything in the lesson but when it is over, stundents can play anything what they want.. Teacher will give the permission before leaving class..
This is what I want to do.. Briefly, I want to make a custom rom but directly using android source codes.Because I think I can't make this rom with using kitchen or just editing .apk files..
Thank you for your help..
Go to chef central in XDA forums it's very interesting (read all stickies), build a good kitchen and start building. Take some CM things to build a great ROM.

I have thought It cannot work, haven't it?
Because I want to make a custom rom with using details. Not just editing .apk packages etc.. I looked for kitchen when I begin to make costum rom but kitchens don't satiate me.
Do you think again I should look kitchens ?

If you are editing the source code you are doing more than modding apks. What I recommend to you is start building a Android with main features for example low requirements. Then you start deleting all those stuff you don't need building a very small Android. Then you modify system ui like appearance and themes and you start adding those great developer community apps. Those steps are easy for start then you'll modify those great things. And if you have time you should create a project web page in Google developers and start getting support and testers. Also if you post here your Roms you'll gain experienced developer support.
Remember you are building a Android Room not a new OS. Start modding and removing not useful stuff.
If it helps give thanks ! :thumbup:
Edit: I also recommend you if it's possible to don't work with Honeycomb... If you wanna get good results use Jelly Bean or Ice Cream Sandwich.

Yes, I'm just editing an android rom not making a new OS. And I'm not working on Honeycomb. I got the source of JB.
Okey, I'll start doing your thinks. But I've an idea and if you know, please help..
Yes, I don't have to edit source code and it seems very hard to do. But I thought making a new tab panel like this panels top of JB. Check it.
http://androidplus.in/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Jelly-Bean-Apex-theme.jpg
There are apps, downloaded, widgets tab panels on top. If I can add a new panel just with coding a new app. (not editing the source), It would be a solution for me. The panel that I'll add (let's call it education panel) have to open and close with my command (the command that comes from teacher in realty). If the command doesn't let the user of tablet to switch other panels, user can't switch. The education panel is like apps panel and contains some essential tools (like e-book, notepad, some videos about education etc.). Do you have an idea how can I do? or can I do this with just an application?
Please give me knowledge.. (Again I don't have to edit source code (like you've said) if I find this quests answer.)
Ok let's remember how Android it's divided...
I think you must modify for this launcher and systemui, if I'm not wrong. You must deodex the files inside the app package to build the eclipse project.
Good to know you aren't working with Honeycomb

I don't know if you read the news, that Notion Ink will release and already have released a beta of their Android 2.3.4 for their Adam device..
I have tested it, since its basically based on the 2.6.32.9 kernel we all got, and not the latest nvidia 2.6.36.3 which it should be
anyways its not worth porting at this stage, its unstable and its basically using all the apps from the adam device which i find less interesting after trying the hc 3.0 launcher and widget use, i am not going back to 2.2 soon.
but so you .. i tested it and there is nothing interesting about it.
DerArtem's cm7 release is probably much,much better..
How do you port?

experience is the keyword or "learn by doing"
I know that you can do it, but I ask you to tell what you change when you port(usually things, not specific), what files do you add, delete, change and what you must change to ported system work(Guide, HowTo or shortly explain) ?

thats no task to explain in a thread..
its all about knowledge and understanding the os, how android loads, and works in general and the more you change, the more you learn..
so "learn by doing" is not = you know i can do it, but a saying when you need to learn how to work with something and its DIY mostly.
I want to learn. Do you know good sites, books or how and from what did you learn?
Hi all,
i want to start with AOSP 4.2 for our SGS3 i9300 - is anybody interested to develop and publish a AOSP based rom with me?
I'm a real application developer (C,C++,JAVA,PHP,MySQL,some Oracle PLSQL) and now its some cold out - i have time to do
some nice things
I think a team of 2 or 3 developers should be enough to develop on this rom, as we can use a lot from AOSP 4.1.2
### EDIT
As long as no one has found to help, here a short description of current progress:
- Code is pure based on AOSP 4.2 but some snippets of CyanogenMod to bring up hardware (camera,graphics,audio)
- Device is bootable (no other boot.img required anymore)
- Bootanimation is working
- Mount of partitions is working
- Deodexing is working
- adb, debuggerd and root access is working
Not working: a lot
- Graphic not working perfect, needs a kernel patch or a working gralloc/hwcomposer/hwconverter to work without laggy PMEM)
- Camera can not be activated due to a missing function call (undefined reference, maybe it can be solved with a newer driver)
- Audio: missing speaker device (Code have to reworked to work with stagefright and tinyalsa libs)
- USB/internal SDCard: cant be mounted (error message sounds like the device is mounted twice, have to find the error in init process)
- RIL not working (Java file from CM10 have to be integrated in frameworks/opt/telephony)
Currently, i'm working on the Graphic problem and USB part to bring up the device to a stable UI
Way to go man. Good luck to you!
Good luck ...!! Im waiting

Good evening,
Well how have you imagined that? Do you have build something like that before or would this be your first attempts to build up a rom from scratch? Do you know what's all necessary to contribute for that?
I would try to help you, but I have clearly to say that I haven't done anything like this before. I'm in the last term of my study of technical computer sciences, working in a company as application programmer for C/C++ and Java(Android). Due to my studies I have also some knowledge about hardware programming, down to read/writing some code in assembler. I would be interested to this if I get introduced to the topic and some help with the necessary tool chain wouldn't hurt too ^^.
greetings

I have successfully built a rom in year 2010 for the LG-P500 device, based on CM7 and modified it in a strange way, so i included a lot of nice things
written from scratch - this rom was a unicate ... later, i developed the "Phoenix Launcher" for Gingerbread enabled devices, but its development is currently
frozen because its strange to support every or almost every device with a bugless launcher. In the last months i learned a lot about android and have to re-think about
what i'm able to do, and what i want to do. In the summer of 2011 i bought my SGS3, the first thing i was doing was to remove that samsung crap from my device and
have installed AOKP. So now it's time to do my own thing again - i want to have AOSP as i think for me its the best Android solution for myself and want to publish it
to other users who think "thats ok for me" too
In short, it doesnt matter if its your first rom - its enough if you know about basic things like "how is android doing all that nice things", "how to debug code", "how to fix
some bugs (even strange bugs)" and some experience with git and github. All other you can learn in a very short time - i've learned the most of things with try & error

This all sounds interesting for me and yes I like the idea of developing a own clean rom with some cool additional stuff, too. But what would be the first steps to a new rom? Have you begun with all the administration stuff like setting up a new gitrepo, make a to do list etc...?
I think Code debugging and writing some new stuff wouldn't be a problem for me but what are you meaning excactly with "how is android doing all that nice things"? How it build up, deep level architecture? Well, I know how the "normal" Linux system is working, how modules are getting loaded into the kernel... But how this is correctly working on android I have to learn at first and if there is a chance to do that I would do it
Currently on my S3 is SlimBean and till that there is still no update to 4.2 I'm happy with it, but exploring something new would be pretty cool
Do you have an IRC chat room or something like that? I've to go offline now, my girlfriend wants more attention.^^ But If you want, I' m willing to try to contribute to the rom
PS. I'm sorry for my bad English and hope its understandable, but outside from here you can talk to me in German ^^
If you want to help the AOSP experience on our phones the best place to do it is with the CyanogenMod guys. You'll find pretty much everything based on AOSP (including people that port Vanilla AOSP and AOKP) is using a CM kernel.
They're likely working on the merge now in terms of getting CM10.1 out (with Android 4.2) but most of our CM guys are pretty burned out on working with Samsung's subpar reference material to get basic stuff working (mostly HWC). If you think you could help with this, this would be provide a massive boost to the whole community that want to run these phones on an AOSP based ROM and they would be very grateful.
Gotta warn you though it sounds like it'll be an uphill struggle to get the rest of the stuff working right; unless Samsung release some decent sources for HWC.
Currently i have only downloaded the AOSP sources and started to integrate most of the configs. Currently it cant compile because AOSP is not AOKP/CM10
where i got the device and vendor directories, so i have to make some changes in the basic system. if it's compiling to the end, i open a fresh github account
and upload all my modifications. The compile process stops currently on audio,OMX plugins, graphics and camera - most of that are small pieces of changes
i have to make - i think, tomorrow (its monday in germany here) i can upload all and then we can start to develop on

How it's going forward?
Maybe it could be useful to publish the github link when it's ready and some more information like staus, on first post
In the next days I have some trouble with my exams ( in two weeks I'm completely finished with my studies ^^) but I think if there is something to do I'll find some time to work on.
Good Luck Dude~
I haven't tried AOSP yet.
Hope someday i can give it a go.:silly:

current state:
- patched android/build so we can compile the kernel within the main compile process
- patched android/build main.mk file so we can use OpenJDK or Oracle JDK
- added android/vendor/aokp and android/vendor/samsung tree from AOKP (its the most useful directory structure)
- added android/hardware from AOKP so we have all that Exynos things that are needed, even by AOSP
- modified android/frameworks/native/include so a OMX Plugin header can be found
- modified android/libhardware and patched gralloc module
currently it compiles to the Webkit library, most of all apps, libs and binaries are building without errors - the next problem
to solve is the PRODUCT_COPY_FILES ****: nothing of proprietary files are copied to the android/out directory, seems like
a bug in android/build too.
For only 2 days trying to compile to the end without errors its a very good cut
here we go: it compiles to the end and a flashable "JOP40" zip could be created
tryed to flash, but it gives errors in CWM: have to remove the recovery folder and the recovery.sh file from etc folder in the ota zip file, but it doesnt boot up - got a black screen only.
do we need a new or patched kernel instead the CM10 smdk421x one?
Well does it have all the closed source libraries fron the phone? If not, it wont boot. Dont think i am calling you stupid, you obviously know what you are doing, but maybe you forgot. Idk. Check that. Try running a log cat and debug that.

Thanks for the hint, yes i have all files included - i cant connect to adb, i see only small colored point on the top left side and a sensor
is red blinking (the one to the right of the speaker.
That would be the proximity sensor near the top front speaker. Cant connect, adb binary in /system/bin or xbin?

Hello there guys,
As we all know we only have 3? 4? developers for the HOX+ . And they are really doing all they can to help keep the phone upto date.
But as we all know they are all busy and can't update their roms that much any longer.
EDIT: Lloir already has a guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187266 but I don't think he covers how to fix camera and gps and stuff
So! Is it possible to make guide on how to compile the rom from the source? I know tombridden and lloir already made a one post guide on how to build some roms but it was too specific.
I now have an extra machine (a laptop) with 500gb free storage and ubuntu as the main OS. It's quite powerful too with 6gb RAM and i7. So Why not use it to help the community while others are busy? In the meantime I will look around for some guides for other phones but I don't think they will help that much.
And please include the answers to those questions if you make a guide:
1- What to do to fix camera/GPS/wifi/Data/sensors ?
2- What approach should I take when compiling a new ROM. For example: there are no developers for PACMAN , how will it differ during compiling between it and AOKP/CM/AOSP .
I am talking about a rom that wasn't approached by Lloir so he won't have the repos for them. What to do then?
Thanks a lot and I can't wait to help
@Lloir @tombriden @PippoX3 @mike1986. and any other developer out there.
you can start by looking at XDA-University
The reply is correct. All of us moved first steps studying at XDA University.
Anyway the case is more complex than others.
For this device there are really few developers. Other device have a lot of support from constructors, many dev and the team-work result in a lot of kernels/roms to flash for the final user.
If you wanna taste the happyness for build a rom, I'll send you a guide to setup your ubuntu, download the sources and build.
But in this case, where enrc2b is not officially support, the things are more difficult.
You must have a minimal practical with java, cpp, android and kernel code (if so).
For the moment I'm in trouble to build an AOKP 4.2.2 with new kernel. I haven't device to try, 'cause the hard is build&&try continuosly.
Not the fact to have a pc turned on for hours and hours.... and the eyes&&mind open for hours and hours... but the patience to continuously try time after time.
Now I am in a dead point... many users like have S2W enable on new CM kernel... but.... the kernel won't!
Thanks a lot anyway. Thanks to @Lloir, @tombriden, @maxwen and alls who's workin' for this device.
Stay tuned....

That's what i did already. I set up the periphals/kernel/device info GITs and now i am looking for the roms, I found CM and stuff but I can't find PURE AOSP , does that mean i must download it and upload it?
I also have Oracle java installed. Do I have to have open JDK?

Now that we begin to have a solid CM base, will possible to build at least CM for enrc2b for noobs too.
And eventually "port" device/kernel" parts to others platforms. So who like e.g. PA can do...
If you agree, I can paste my personal appoints to a guide, from client setup (Sun java don't works) to the build zip rom.
Updated and corrected to last KK.

Hello all,
I'm trying hard to figure out how one goes about compiling Android JB AOSP (4.1.2_r2.1) platform for the samsung galaxy s2 (GT-I9100M), with the source code that samsung gives you?
I've setup ubuntu 14, and I see how I can run . build/envsetup.sh, and then lunch.
I get all the options to build, and I see where the saumsung scripts are located, in device/samsung.
I've downloaded the open source file GT-I9100M_BMC_JB_Opensource.zip, and compiled the Kernel.
Now its time to build the platform. I see the folder structure, but I see no instructions.
When I unzip the Platform, I see build, external, vendor, and device, which has the folder "smdk_common".
If I put all files in the corisponding locations within the AOSP, I get errors, as there's only a folder "alsa-lib". (sound drivers).
And if I were to compare what's in here to whats in the AOSP device/samsung folders, there's lots more info.
Do I need to copy files from the default AOSP device/samsung folders and modify to suite my needs or?
Can anyone point me to how-tos? I've been trying to figure this out for days!
I see a lot of how tos on building with existing ROMS, and using kitchen, etc.
But I just want to build samsung from scratch FIRST...
OK, so doing a lot more research, both here and google, I obviously need to create a device tree OFF of the files that samsung has released to everyone. Surely someone has done this already?
I see there are a few GIT repositories that have device trees, but they are based upon existing files, etc.
I'm looking to find a device tree that has all the basics, OR a "template" one i can try and work with samsungs...

Hi,
did you succeeded in your approach to build a device tree with the Samsung-opensource-files? if yes then I'll be very interested in the way you do it as I'm on the same status for a Samsung device which has absolutely no support in the hole internet (except one thread here in XDA
BR
SP
No I didn't.
and I got no help what so ever from the people here at xda-developers.
I even approached some of the people who compile the roms, and got no response from them.
I suspect the only help you'll ever get from these forums is if you ask for help from EXISTING roms,
or you're an "existing" developer that has years of experience.
this place is not for new developers at all.
a lot of brown nosing going on here..
good luck in your search!

The previous phone was supported very well (i8190) but the i8200 has a complete new hardwarebase and its really garbage...

Hey everybody thanks for coming to this guide. Feel free to ask questions in case you don't get it. But let's get this straight, ok?
So some of you must be using a custom ROM. And if you're not a developer, you might be wandering that how did they make the ROM. If you want your OWN product without taking the long way, I have the solution right here.
For me it's almost impossible building up my OWN ROM from nothing like other devs did themselves, either. But i CAN make one from ANOTHER rom. Adjusting it a little, modding a bit there, fixing a LOT here... and ta-da! The Something-Based rom was born. The ultimate tool that you're going to need is the ANDROID KITCHEN.
The one and only kitchen that actually "cooks" Android. One note that this guide i'm doing is for Windows. If you can figure out how to use it with Linux or Mac please be a nice person and share it will you?
Ok, first thing you need is a base ROM(make sure it's the rom that works on the device you're trying to build the ROM for)(Can be CyanogenMod, AOKP, Resurrection Remix,...)
Then comes the other requirements/files:
-A stable internet connection
-Your Windows PC
-Cygwin Packages
-Kitchen
-Java JDK(either x86 or x64(depends on your PC)
So for a reminder, that before you kick off make sure that java jdk was installed. Just go through the setups and install it.
Now comes the GUIDE:

Sorry if it wasn't so detail. But if you miss anything I can make it up for you. Just simply report it back, OK?
Have Fun Modding!

/home/Lalit & kumar (whatever the name is ) has spaces try something like this /home/lalit&kumar as the kitchens functionality depends on the correct naming of the files as well
