TIME TO MOVE ON
i wil be on xperia section
i am happy that i could help this section
Best Regards, Happy Cookling and Programing!
Hy all
I started this tread because the interest to android is growing
I invite all people with linux knowledge or C programing skills to join
If you know some hardware programing is better
We need
- developpers
- testers
i will not post an guide how to setup the compiler and set variables
if you dont know this stuff please stick to Google Android thread and dont post here stupid questions as IT IS READY / WHEN WILL IT BE READY
WE DO THIS IN OUR SPARE TIME AND WE HAVE FAMILY AND LIFE
So shell we invite the penguin to our phones?

Build Instructions for the ones that want to help
- Create working dir:
Code:
mkdir ~/android-kernel
- Go to the dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel
- Clone the Linuxtogo GIT:
Code:
git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git
- Go into newly created dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel/kernel
- Create a new branch, call it htc-msm and link it to the official htc-msm development branch:
Code:
- Descend into the "main" android dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel
- Get toolchain:
Code:
wget http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_too...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- maybe you need to rename the just downloaded file (because after .tar.bz2 wget has added ?lite=arm). (HINT FOR LINUX-NEWBIES: USE TAB TO COMPLETE KNOWN FILENAMES!! - In this case type: mv arm(TAB) arm(TAB) -> backspace till 'bz2' is the last word)
Code:
mv arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2\?lite\=arm arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- unpack the toolchain:
Code:
tar -xjf arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- ascend again into the 'kernel' directory:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel/kernel
- make the kernel:
Code:
git checkout -b htc-vogue origin/htc-vogue
You also have to use
Code:
make vogue_defconfig ARCH=arm
- export path so the newly downloaded toolchain will be used instead of your default compiler (which would compile for your computer instead of your phone):
Code:
export PATH=~/android-kernel/arm-2008q1/bin:$PATH
- make the zImage-file:
Code:
make zImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
Now the zImage file is created inside the directory kernel/arch/arm/boot.
When uploading this to your phone, remember that you only have to replace the zImage after each kernel build - the Linux environment on top of the kernel can just stay the same, so initrd (which is the ramdisk filesystem) can stay the same.

I have knowledge of both C and linux so I vollunteer
hi,
i can be a tester... also i have some little linux knowledge...
I have limited knowledge of both c and linux, so I possibly could help.
It seems useful however to setup an SVN or something, so even 'non-registered' developers can write patches and submit them for review. You can set up such an SVN for free at assembla.com, together with a wiki, TRAC and more. They even say you can ask for more storage space and stuff if your project is an open-source project.
If you have such an SVN developers like me can help without making any false promises of some sort.
I hope you know what I mean, it sounded better in my head
i know linux and i can do beta tester. i'm studying engineering too.
i also know linux and a bit of C...i can do testing too.
as you already know, I'm in too for development...
i will try the new kernel asap...
I tried this kernel and indeed, the keypad works on mine!
(touched the TS though, just because you said I wasn't allowed ) It froze, so reboot...

I believe by the end of this year or somewhere in the beginning of 2009 Google is making a system for creating software input methods, which would theoretically allow us to write an application that would reroute direct hardware input. I think. We'll have to see what the future will (or the talented developers here) bring.
man, awesome!!! good job, jerpelea. keys work great!!

There is an app available which is able to run different interpreter, such as Python, it's name is AndroidScriptingEnvironment, and it's Google Code Homepage can be found here.
Now, there's a problem with this program running certain interpreters, to quote a list on the topic:
Lua - works
Perl - doesn't work
Python - doesn't work
Shell - works
BeanShell - doesn't install
JRuby - doesn't install
Rhino - doesn't install
TCL - doesn't work

This is a problem, and it seems to be directed (at least for python) at the executable "__aeabi_dcmpun" not being able to be found. Here is the specific error:
Code:
reloc_library[1173]: 4241 cannot locate '__aeabi_dcmpun'...CANNOT LINK
EXECUTABLE
This happens when an expected Python Interpreter should be loaded.
This problem has also been experienced by Acer Liquid E users, as well as Dell Streak users (All of the platforms are using Android 1.6...).
The full discussion on the topic can be found here for any dev that is interested in helping us out, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys, I would like to ask you what IDE's and other software I need to make and modify android roms. I am particularly looking at helping with ICS production. I know java and some C++ if this helps, I am unsure of what to use whether that be eclipse or some other IDE/SDk. Also there are a few file types I am unfamiliar with and want to know how to edit those such as .so's and other files. Thanks P500 community you guys are awesome D
If you haven't already, I'd highly reccomend setting up a build environment and trying to sync the cm repos. Once you have the code, you can play around and see what you need from there, in terms of an IDE.

Read some android books.you already know c++ and Java so you will become good dev.
For playing with code you need.
Ubuntu.
Notepad.
sdk & adb.
And this "good luck!"
Yeah! Actually even i am interested in learning.
I know c/c++. No java yet
I'll be finishing my exams on the 3rd of may and would have around 2 months of vacations to learn
So guidance would really be appreciated. Do we need a separate sdk for linux based os? I have sdk on windows, isnt that enough?
What is the advantage of using linux for android development? I have backtrack(ubuntu based) on vmware. Will it do?
Essential Software:
Ubuntu 11.10 (dual boot not virtual machine, it's too slow)

I'm assuming you're coming from Windows since you don't know what a .so file is (like I did when starting). .so files are android's versions of .dll files. 'executables' don't have a file extension. Kernel modules use the .ko extension.
(I think .so means shared object, .ko means kernel object. Makes sense to me anyway )
The worst thing about starting is simply the sheer size of the project, it is a whole operating system we are dealing with here!
Start simple and easy, follow the instructions on how to make your own build and flash it. (and feel proud you have your own build string in about phone!) Then do it again without the instructions. (harder than it sounds )
The programming side may not be such a problem for you if you already know it. I didn't know anything. reading library files written in c++ ain't so bad, but getting used to how an android app is written in java was a huge mindf**k for me at first.It still is actually
I'm really just your average code hacker, I just hack based on educated guesses but I have taken copious notes on what I do and how things work. Seriously, I have two A5 notebooks full of lists, commands, file locations, diagrams and other tips I've found over the past 6 months.
Prepare to read a lot, be confused a lot, say WTF?!?!?! a lot, delighted when you make your first changes and they work, a ton of waiting for builds to finish and perhaps a bit nervous when you are ready to submit your first commit to CyanogenMod...
Can't we practice on something less taxing than the the whole cyanogenmod, like maybe some prebuilt system apps?
I have allocated 2.9gb of ram and enough cpu to my vm for it to run smoothly so speed isn't really an issue here
Will backtrack do or would ubuntu be better(backtrack is a network security related os based on ubuntu only)
And how important is java. I have two months of almost pure vacations(just have to make a project) so time wont be much of an issue and i'll anyway be doing java in a year or two at college so starting now wont be any harm.
BTW just curious why is g+ account an essentiality here?
Edit
Oh and yeah ill be switching from win to linux and that IS going to be a pretty big problem :/
I don't even properly know what a kernel is and what it does.

I think it can't know I've added another device. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? I'm sure it's something pretty stupid...
P.S. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10
EDIT: Ok, I think I've done something wrong syncing androidmeda sources.
What I've done is:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ repo init -u git://github.com/androidmeda/cm_device_lge_p500.git
repo initialized in /home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ repo sync
Fetching projects: 100% (248/248), done.
Syncing work tree: 100% (248/248), done.
I've done this for git://github.com/androidmeda/cm_vendor_lge_p500.git and git://github.com/androidmeda/lge-kernel-msm7x27.git too. I can't see them though.
Solved the problem. Cloned androidmeda's device folder into device/lge/p500
EDIT2: FINALLY COMPILING!
EDIT3:
Code:
make: *** Nessuna regola per generare l'obiettivo "device/lge/p500/init.p500.usb.rc
It's 'No rule to make target'. I don't know what to do, I can't even find that file, but I've got a file called init.thunderg.usb.rc
Solved renaming init.thunderg.usb.rc to init.p500.usb.rc. It's compiling now

Ok, I'm trying to tidy up everything a bit. I've noticed there is a new github. I've seen this:
Code:

Copy/paste it WORKING_DIR/.repo/local_manifest.xml

<manifest>
<project path="device/lge/p500" name="p500/cm_device_lge_p500" remote="github" revision="master" />

<project path="kernel/lge/p500" name="p500/lge-kernel-msm7x27" remote="github" revision="android-ics-msm-2.6.35" />
</manifest>
I have no local_manifest.xml. Do I have to create it? Or do I have to add these three lines to manifest.xml (which is in .repo folder)? And do I have to add toolchain too?
Question: if installing Ubuntu with wubi on Windows XP, will it show the dual-boot screen on every boot?(or else what shortcut?)
And does it need to defragment, or is it safe just like that?

I don't think it's good to install ubuntu to compile android in a virtual machine, I think the compilation would be too slow. I'm sorry I can't help you, I've installed ubuntu from a Live CD and I didn't have many problems with the installation process.
BTW, added the three lines to manifest.xml synced repo. It's compiling well using make -j4

if you have enough ram and a good enough processor there shouldnt be any problem in using a virtual machine. i use backtrack with 2.9/4gb ram and am able to use both windows7 and backtrack simultaneously without any problems/lag
I have an i5 2.3-2.9GHz
Sure it depends on what you want to compile. It was just a suggestion to compile faster. You probably won't notice lag, but it will take more to compile everything.
Hi guys,
My Atrix -> Xoom kernel port is complete. This is the nvodm version.
Right now I am trying to make a build of CM 9 based on my kernel and running into lots of hiccups
Yeap I am a noob so please bear with me. I am following the steps from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_olympus, and got stuck at the step "Prepare the device-specific code"
Code:
$ breakfast olympus
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh
build/core/product_config.mk:189: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/*/olympus/cm.mk]]: "device/*/olympus/cm.mk" does not exist. Stop.

** Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_olympus'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
I figure that the script is reaching out to the wrong repo at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_olympus
It should probably go to https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team/android_device_motorola_olympus
Am I right?
How to I correct this problem?
Thanks in advance..

I think that the best way to solve this problem is pm someone that already build a rom from source as you wanna do.
Try to reach MMontuori or EPinter (both really kind and will help for sure) by pm, just a tip hehe.
Hope you can build it, best of luck.
Sorry but this mean that we have a new kernel to get full cm9/10/10.1 roms? W/o All the bugs like the videocam...?
Thanks for the hard work!
from the (M)ATRIX...
Ask epinter, he is such a great guy and he have helped other devs,

Your kernel is booting?
Its a full port from Xoom or you are using the leaked Kernel?
Able to retrieve logs from USB?
Whats your status?
This is very important, because there is another porting project running (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016837) and maybe your kernel source is better to keep up than the one they are trying to port.
Please... communicate!
Thanks!

Hey matbarni; take it easy and read the first post, not only the title.
It's not a matter of communication; If you can see the thread of the porting, you'll see some posts from user toyota86, which said he was working but in other branch because he has his reasons for it.
Please don't jump into conclussions and try to help, we all are struggling for an usable kernel; and EVERY help is welcome.
I'm sure any of the developers have contacted him by now or he tried to contact the developers, but he wants to see if anyone can give him a quick tip.
Enough. I'll shut my mouth off
Sorry guys. My mind was hazy when I posted that late last night.
What I meant by "complete" was that it simply built. That's it
Some early sanity testing of my kernel with CM7 resulted in a hang. Yes, I agree with most of you that the next logical thing to do is to flash That ROM and fastboot with my kernel. This can be a quick test. But I am a little suspicious the Bionic libraries may need to be rebuilt as well.
I have already sought advice from our Guru mmontuori and he has told me Kernel modules need to be rebuilt.
SO... lets build the whole she-bang

you will need a build without the errata hack in board config, like the cm10 based on the leak. or build using my jb-olympus-new branch.
you can remove all the kernel modules if your defconfig follows android standard...

It's not a matter of communication; If you can see the thread of the porting, you'll see some posts from user toyota86, which said he was working but in other branch because he has his reasons for it.
Please don't jump into conclussions and try to help, we all are struggling for an usable kernel; and EVERY help is welcome.
I'm sure any of the developers have contacted him by now or he tried to contact the developers, but he wants to see if anyone can give him a quick tip.
Enough. I'll shut my mouth off

I did not jump into conclusions.
As you can see, all I posted was questions. And yes, I read what toyota86 posted.
Like "Right now I am trying to make a build of CM 9 based on my kernel and running into lots of hiccups".
The way I am helping is to try to clarify to all users what this post is about.
Thanks for all the support guys
As much as I don't want you guys to be dissapointed, but dont put too much hope as to the outcome of my effort.
Now I have lots on my plate. I will update as I make progress.
thank you
Glad you have been working on this.I tried but abandoned due to insufficient knowledge. atrix was the best buy I've made in years.had it for 3 yes now and thanks to you and others it will live on. Im a trigger happy tester i try every ROM I see and can't wait to try yours.

you will need a build without the errata hack in board config

Thank you sir. One question though..
Which errata hack were you referring to? Errata 657451 in the motorola's version of the bionic library? Eg...
In motorola's bionic, we see workarounds like this:
Code:
/* BEGIN MOT GB UPMERGE, a5705c, 12/21/2010 */
# ifdef HAVE_TEGRA_ERRATA_657451
# define __munge_tls(_v) ( ((_v)&~((1ul<<20)|1ul)) | (((_v)&0x1)<<20) )
# else
# define __munge_tls(_v) (_v)
#endif
/* END MOT GB UPMERGE */
Description of this errata:
Code:
config TEGRA_ERRATA_657451
bool "Store bit 20 of CP15 TLS register c13,3 in bit 0"
depends on ARCH_TEGRA_2x_SOC && HAS_TLS_REG
default y
help
This option enables a workaround for the 657451 Tegra 2 errata
which causes unreliable reads from bit 20 of the thread storage
register c13, 3 (used by the __set_tls system call). It stores the
value intended for bit 20 into bit 0 instead; in most user-space
environments, the value saved by __set_tls is an aligned address,
so repurposing bit 0 will not cause ill effects.
In my noob'ish understanding, there is a hardware related bug in our Atrix Tegra 2 SOC that causing data corruption in Thread Local Storage (TLS). Researching this on the net, some ppl were talking about a possibility of a buggy version of this hardware in Atrix. It is also worth noting that this workaround however is NOT present in Stingray's kernel & bionic.
I don't think I remember seeing this workaround in CM's bionic, which is one of my initial concerns..I will look further at home tonight..
Errrrm... Isn't the Bionic a TI OMAP device?
can you post your kernel so others can test it? i have minimal knowledge but would love to help with testing

Bionic is Android's standard C library. Don't worry

Hi guys,
My Atrix -> Xoom kernel port is complete. This is the nvodm version.
Right now I am trying to make a build of CM 9 based on my kernel and running into lots of hiccups
Yeap I am a noob so please bear with me. I am following the steps from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_olympus, and got stuck at the step "Prepare the device-specific code"
Code:
$ breakfast olympus
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh
build/core/product_config.mk:189: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/*/olympus/cm.mk]]: "device/*/olympus/cm.mk" does not exist. Stop.
Device olympus not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http://github.com/CyanogenMod).
Found repository: android_device_motorola_olympus
CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_olympus already exists

** Don't have a product spec for: 'cm_olympus'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
I figure that the script is reaching out to the wrong repo at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_olympus
It should probably go to https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team/android_device_motorola_olympus
Am I right?
How to I correct this problem?
Thanks in advance..

How did you solve this? I am trying to build for coconut (SE Live With Walkman) and stuck at breakfast.
Hey there...
I don't know if any developers can help me when you set up your PC for the environment of building android from source.
I keep getting an error that "prebuilt/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G" doesn't exist or isnt a file or directory, then I read up about jelly bean being moved to "prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccahce/ccahce -M 50G" and it still doesn't work, any help would be appreciated, this is a bit of a nightmare xD
