I've been trying to gain some knowledge about building android from source but i'm not sure where can I get the jb sources for my device xperia mini st15i and I'm confused about what are the commands i should use to compile a jb rom specifically for my device. I also would like to know where can I get the driver binaries for my device . I've been googling it for more than two weeks with no luck .
Forgive me if the things I asked above sounds ridiculous because as of now I myself am very much confused about building from source .
I hope you people can help me clear my confusion! Thanks!
edit:
My humble request to devs and users is that can anyone with the proper knowledge post a tut on how to compile aosp Rom from source for xperia devices particularly st15i so that we can Learn it. What are the files and how to edit it in source code to build a bootable working Rom for xperia mini st15i and also the driver binaries needed for device to work properly or with minimal bugs . Not aokp or cm just pure aosp. I'll be really thankful if you take it into consideration. Right now there is not even a single tut for xperia devices to compile from aosp sources (according to my knowledge)(if it exists please post the link!) .Thanks for spending your time in reading my request.

Thanks for the support man, I was searching for tut for building from aosp sources and was really disappointed not to find not even a single tut even remotely explaining about building Rom for xperia devices from aosp sources. Given that xperia devices are in mainstream development it's disappointing not to find any tut on this regard.

Hi,
This rom looks a beast and has already been ported to the Xperia Play, Xperia Arc and the X8
Can anyone help or give guidance in getting this great rom ported to the Xperia S
My skills are very limited however with guidance I am willing to attempt it and give it a go but i need help and guidance from someone who knows a lot more about it than me
Is there anyone willing to help get this rom ported over to us on the Xperia S ?
Hi. For porting you need to select a device that is similar to the XS at least resolution wise. Your base rom would be latest CM9 or CM10. Delete the app and framework folder one by one and replace it with the folders from the PA rom. Similarly replace the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Change fields in the build.prop as they are going in the PA Rom'.
Make a zip and try flashing. If it works your luck is good but if it bootloops you need to make changes in the frameworkres.apk which requires decompiling it and stuff. I'm still learning how to do the framework part.

Would need to use latest cm9 as base as it is stable and has more working than cm10

If you want to do anything that's maintainable, build from source.
Building from source is a hell of a job and afaik this method will work for all the future updates and is tad easier than building from source
Tapatalked !!
I dont have the ability to build from source
Could look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27602914&postcount=24 I tried it with ICS, never booted.
I don't have any ability whatsoever, but I can be a tester (make sure kernel is easy to work with dual boot) and, if needed, I can give a little of my pc processing (not much).
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
How about a paranoid android bounty thread?

Well, it seems that Ubuntu Phone OS is based on CM10, so maybe it will work when we have a working CM10
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
without sources of ubuntu (cant find sources there, to built it) no go
Even the nexus has just a preview release of ubuntu
How can we expect it to run on novathors without sources?? :/

wait 15h
porting guide is out
Porting guide is online: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
The rom is based on cm10.1, I guess it's quite hard to build it for Xperia U.
No cm10 is available for xu... How come are we going to start a project based on cm10.1 ??
Thread is way too optimistic...bt not practical
yes and 10 cm is not yet sony remain on cm9 I think
We have to push st-ericson to get sources. If we get it we will can make 4.1 4.2 and Ubuntu os. What do you think about petition to ST-Ericsson?

Awwwww And here I came in thinking I could flash Ubuntu based OS on my phone . /sarcasm
IMO Don't think petition will work... Already tried that. Failed miserably. : (
Though i think I do remember seeing something about the FXP recieving (atleast a part - including some of the blobs required for Microphone/RADIO/A2DP). So maybe that might work. (Still a terribly long shot. )
Maybe possible in a year or year and half I'd guess. Assuming that CM10 on XU would be somewhat usable by November or something (hopefully).
When Android reaches the version 5.0 or 5.1 we would be able to run CM10 and probably CM10.1 on Xperia U... or maybe not.

The point of Doom adding the [DEVS ONLY] tag was to keep posts like these out. Yes it CAN help our device run the newer version of android as well as cut down on the things we have to change for our device.
I would love to help out but I'm not very good at developing kernels since I need more knowlage in C. Do you have an idea of what's stopping it from booting or not yet?

-More Performance
-Slightly more available ram because of better management (up to 6mb)
-Less changes necessary for newer android versions.
-Therefore we will have newer roms much more stable earlier.
And a huge lot of other misc advantages that are more minor.........
-I forgot to say it would make Ubuntu Mobile much much much more easier to port (hence it's based on nexus at the same kernel version)

thnaks for dev for this jop
Please don't post just see if there's an update. If there is someone will post it otherwise please don't ask.
I'm sure Doom doesn't have time to work on it recently between his life and other devices he devs for. I don't tend to work on kernels or if I do I don't really work on them as much as use or build them. (I'm hoping to learn more code lanuges but I need to get my math credits up in my college.)
sorry for a late reply on this thread.
I borrowed my xpria play to my friend a few weeks ago, but he dropped it 6 times in a row, now the device won't work anymore and repair costs are pretty expensive (about 100 euro's)
So sadly i can't work on this kernel for now, till i have enough money to repair the phone.
I hope someone else will find some time to work on it, good luck DooM!!

Hi guys,I saw in that the Xperia U which has 90% the same hardware as our Xperia Go has already AOKP 4.4 Nightlies,so I decided to make a port for our lovely Xperia Go.I succesfully booted the ROM but I have forgot to include some essential drivers/libs for camera so I remade the ROM but I did another stupid mistake so it doesn't boot again and I need to make it again .But there is no problem as it doesn't take much time so I think until tommorow I will have given you the first screenshots.So I made this thread so we can discusse some non-development related things.Because I am new to Android Development and XDA ROM posting (I have been using XDA as ROM finder since a long time) I think you could direct me correctly.

It is best to compile aokp from source rather than porting it (more performance). But ported rom is also quite okay
@TechBossGR feel free to port it but as @wan5xp said, source built is better. I can help you(or anyone building) for building from source

Yeah but I'm afraid that compiling will take a lot of hours and I don't have so much time to spend there.Also I don't want to make things without understanding what I am doing,I want to know what and why I am doing.That's why I'm asking for a place which explains the basic things for Android building like DeviceTree and other essential things.
I am here again guys and I'm sorry for don't inform you about the ROM.In fact,I was waiting for a new CM11 build so my AOKP port would have less bugs but unfortunately no new CM11 build came out .Does anyone know when or if CM11 will be updated (by Rodger_Rulez)?

And flashing a kernel of different device may brick your device!
