Hey,
first excuse me when this is the wrong section :-x
But since it might be a general problem which is not related to the Device, I thought I might should post it here.
Just a week ago I bought a new Laptop and moved all my (windows) stuff over there.
Since Im a programmer for C# and C++ for over 5 years now, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Old Laptop and wanted to start messing with Android, CyanogenMod 10.1 to be specific.
But I came up with a few Problems and questions ...
I have a few questions regarding Building CM10.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (international) and some which might be general to building from Source.
Every time I close a Terminal window in Ubuntu 12.10 and open one again, I have to execute "envsetup.sh" all over again, to use the "croot" command or anything related to building. Is there a way to ( more or less ) integrate that into Ubuntu ?
Right now I got the CM10.1 Source tree located in the specified location the Wiki states. How do I cherry pick Changes from Gerrit effectively ? Sure, the easiest way would be to Copy&Paste the Code, but is there any way to keep the changes after "repo sync" and keep track of additional patch sets that have been added, which might be required ?
Like I said I have problems building CM10.1 for my (german) i9300. Booting is well, everything running like on the Nightlies, but the Radio is "missing", just like the IMEI and IMEI SV. Ive tried to google the issue but dont get anything clear, I also followed every point in their Wiki but dont get any further. How do I fix this ?
Whats the average time when you build CM10.1 ? Is about 1 1/2 Hours good ?
Again, Im sorry if this is the wrong section or anything I can find here, but I might searched for the wrong things and came up with Hundreds of Threads, none related to my issues ( related to building ).
Thank you in advance

Answer's here
1)no you cant integrate that into ubuntu ..ps why do you need to integrate something which is just a line to type....
2)for cherry picking commits you can do git am or download the diff patch .. if you repo is frameworks base then copy that patch to frameworks/base cd into frameworks/base and type git patch -p1 and drag the dif patch on to the terminal and hit enter
3)u can use boardconfig flags to make use of stock radio, go through boardconfigs of different devices..
4)for me it takes 2hrs to build gb and 3-4 hours of ics..really i have a crap pc it depends on your processing power ..you could make use of make -j4 if you havent yet ..but it the build gets crashed reduce the number next to j like j3 or j2..

Hello,
So far, I have:
A working Android build environment (Ubuntu 11.10 x64).
Managed to build, install and boot AOSP on my Nexus S. (I have downloaded but not attempted to build CM7 yet.)
Created a Github account.
Samsung's open source files for my target device, the Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M.
I've read some documentation and forum posts about Github, but I remain unsure as to what I should do to fork in a way that:
I'll be able to keep on syncing the remainder of the code.
My new device directories and modifications could be brought back (pulled?) to the main CM7 code base.
Will avoid needless frustrating re-downloads of the source code.
Thanks in advance,
Darkshado
After some further reading, I'm beginning to grasp some git basics...
I've forked two CM7 repos so far, added them as remotes in the appropriate installations. (Instead of forking and cloning, since I already had repo sync'ed the whole CM7 source. My commits show up on Github like they should, and I should be able to merge in commits to the origin remotes.)
I'm not going to do any pull requests until I've managed to build and boot.
By the way, yesterday I attempted to build AOSP with a bunch of files overwritten by the Samsung sources (that's how they tell you to do it!!) and this failed, as I expected.
Goodbye,
Darkshado
Update: I'm currently trying to port CM7 to the Gio 5660M. Still attempting a first successful build as I'm writing these lines.
My main issue so far has to do with the camera. I get the following error message:
make: *** No rule to make target « out/target/product/gio5660M/obj/lib/libcamera.so », needed by « out/target/product/gio5660M/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libcameraservice_intermediates/LINKED/libcameraservice.so ». Stop.
After toggling off the camera by using the stub, I hit the same error further into the build with this:
make: *** No rule to make target « vendor/samsung/gio5660M/proprietary/wifi/ath6k/AR6003/hw2.0/athtcmd_ram.bin », needed by « out/target/product/gio5660M/system/wifi/ath6k/AR6003/hw2.0/athtcmd_ram.bin ». Stop.
I know this has to do with makefiles, but that's about it...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Darkshado
hi i'm interested too.
hi I found your github because I also interested poriting cyanogemod to galaxy gio korea(SHW-M290K). the device hardware is different from s5660. so I need some modification.
and your libcamera problem is that there is some reason that the make system can't find libcamera.so, so they cannot compile libcamera service. it should be in ./vendor/samsung/gio/proprietary according to your extract-files.sh .
have one cuorisity. I searched gio android device make file. and none of them are relreased source code. how did you make them?
I found this information. it may help you.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_PortingGuides
I'll have to update my Github, hadn't been in a rush due to lack of progress, but now my problem lies with libaudio instead.
I got the Samsung sources for the 5660M on their open source website, although I mostly worked with the CM7 ports for similar devices like Tass and Cooper as well as a Gio source provided by Phiexz but it didn't build either.
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
proprietary does not help
do you have any progress since last time?
well, I admit that proprietary files does not help.
does your s5660m hardware identical to s5660v?
becasuse galaxy gio in Korea(shw-m290k,shw-m290s) does different hardware.
well in this case, like me, you need to hack into not only android pdk, but also android kenel.
I have seen that phiexz has released kernel with latest cyanogenmod kenel in his github and I am modifing it to shw-m290k. there are some hardware differences i have to apply to.
I suggest you to compare phiexz's kernel and samsung original kernel from samsung opensource homepage.
My problem right now is that I don't have that much spare time to put into this, and that I'm very much learning as I go, so progress is not always that quick. Also, I'd like to get my Touchwiz based ROM updated and working properly before trying to build AOSP or CM again.
Another thing I want to try is building the kernel (probably based on Phiexz's) that will support ext4, and compare performance of the Touchwiz ROM on ext4 versus RFS.
As far as we can tell, GT-S5660 (Europe/Asia) GT-S5660M, L and V are identical except for the radio firmware. People with the 5660M initially encountered issues after flashing 5660 ROMs because they also contained the AMSS image.
my cyanogen kernel is based on samsung open source kernel
because cm-kernel on cyanogenmod github dont support our device, if we wnt use that kernel we must add some hardware pofile & board for galaxy gio
so alternative is make samsung's open source kernel compatible with cyanogenmod
Wouldn't it be much better from a code maintainability standpoint to make the CM kernel work on the Gio? (Also if you ever hope to get official CM team support, that's a given.)
The way I understand repo and git, you could create a github repo for your device and board configs and add those to your repo manifest so the whole CM7 source and your modifications all sync properly.
I've forked the CM7 manifest files off github, added my gio files and removed all those extra devices I didn't need, so my repo syncs are much faster too. (The idea comes from http://slightlymorethanworthless.blogspot.com/2011/05/remove-unwanted-devices-from.html)
hey a quick question...
just starting out here..
i'm on win7 32 bit, going to run ubuntu on virtualbox.
shud i choose ubuntu 32 bit or 64?
sorry for OT.

doesn't really matter. but compiling process needs much cpu power. so 64x would be better.
Well, im not a dev or a user of gt5660m, but good luck to you, hope u can finally port it

Really the best kernel for your phone is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991020
BLN enabled, optimized&stable kernel, jelly bean look
Whoa! Zombie thread!
Dude: the ROM you linked was published over a year after my original post in this thread. I'm pretty sure there was NO CM7 build available for the Gio back then. That's what I was trying to work on, but got beat to the punch by Maclaw and a couple others. (Hard-bricking my Gio and having a sluggish laptop to build on didn't help.)
Besides, I got rid of my Gio a long time ago. I enjoy my Note 2 and keep my Nexus S as backup.
Hi,
After I got annyoed of my sgs ii, and samsung does not provide the things needed for the devs to port ICS to that (awesome) device, I bought a Galaxy Nexus, cause it's a developer phone and yes - I want to start on android developement.
So, let's just begin, I ordered my Nexus some hours ago, but I my internet connection gives me just 120 kb / s, so I started now with setting up ubuntu and a build environment & downloading the source.
I think it should take some days...
I made it with this tutorial:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
... okay, now the questions, if building like it is written in here, I am stuck on building ICS only for the Nexus. I know it's nonsense building something else, but I don't know what I could do as a "learning project", so I decided to port Gingerbread to the Galaxy Nexus would be the first big "goal"...
I don't think I really understand how bulding android really works, or better, I don't understand how git works... it's not the classic "./configure" , "make"
as I understood from here: http://source.android.com/source/building.html
I can choose a "build target", so if I select the Nexus as a build target, it will automatically compile ICS, and if I select the Nexus S, it will automatically compile gingerbread?!?!
tl;dr
I don't understand how the code-tree works
I don't understand how to select wich source to build for wich target
I know... it's redicolous, but I just wanted to start...
also I hope this is the right forum
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.

Hi and sorry if im unable to post to the required forum as i am a new member. If this post is accepted, my questions are as follows. But first allow me to apologize as one, im a noob at android development, and two, there is very minimal dev support for my device, and i know most building/compiling questions are device specific. My device is the lg viper and im attempting to build cm10.1 as the devive tree available at its furthest development stage thus far. A cm rom has yet to be compiled and only one stock gb rom has which is extremely laggy yet beneficial due to the fact roms can only be flashed to this device via gb because of the now locked bootloader ics. after months of research, an androidcentral forum, and a post on xda as well, i am stuck with the following errors
Add the pastebin. to com and after the second slash and the letters,numbers value after the third to view link, sorry, unable to post.

the first error is appears when i run make bacon. The second run appears when i run make -j4 bacon. Ive tried the"typical" solutions like make clean, recompile, repo sync, recompile. Been ggling for quite sometime, i believe these errors are camera related issues and the second errors
I was able to partially fix by adding aspectrationinfo coding to. If anyone is familiar with these errors i would appreciate the fix or sone advice as to how to get cm compiled, cm9, and cm10, were complete fails so far, not even compiling the charger and build stops immediatly. Thanks for the help.
Hey guys,
So I've been searching around for a while now and I could not find any updated guide on porting/building custom kernels. I need a lot of help for this, as I am completely new and do not know anything to do with kernel stuff. I do my part by finding out whats a ramdisk and stuff, but please pardon me if I ask very stupid questions which may give you cancer.
I asked quite a few people, but all those don't reply. I won't list names, but just to let you know I tried.
Anyways, my problem here is I want to port a kernel which isn't available for my device, i9305. First kernel I want to try porting is boeffla kernel. Here is the repo --> https://github.com/n0aaz/boeffla-kernel-cm-s3/tree/boeffla13.0_u600 I am continuing off @aaz03 's work, as his laptop spoilt or something. In the first place, when I tried to use the script bbuild.sh, the terminal window immediately closes after a bunch of stuff happened and I cannot find the .zip. I don't even know if there's an error in building because terminal window immediately closes after a huge bunch of text showed up
I would also want to port other kernels in the future but I guess I'll get some basic knowledge of kernels first.
Thanks,

I don't even know if there's an error in building because terminal window immediately closes after a huge bunch of text showed up
I would also want to port other kernels in the future but I guess I'll get some basic knowledge of kernels first.
Thanks,

Told you in private : launch the script using
Code:
sudo ./bbuild.sh
The terminal closing problem is due to a syntax error.
Also the kernel, first time I managed to build it was booting, not working, it booted until lockscreen and then immediately bootloop. Will upload the faulty kernel for those who want to try, for every dev/contributer that can help please come and let us make a glorious boeffla kernel
The boeffla I built is from zanezam's custom for i9300 and everything is on my github.
EDIT: make a thread in i9305 Q&A, no one gives a shirt about i9305 here and we will be more visible to i9305 users

Nope, I tried and the terminal still dies.
Anyways I posted here because not only boeffla I also want to port AK. But boeffla first since the "base" has been set I guess...
edit: I'll make a thread in i9305 Q&A tmr, no time today.

Here the booting boeffla I built : https://mega.nz/#!PEh2mTCL!jvkZ-xaDXiMlymTUMxeObZ471-d_9kCGP2xAYF67Pmw it will probably help
Hello,
I asked Boeffla once and he told me to pick all commits from his Boeffla Kernel to your kernel. At your site, I would start with adding some custom Governos. And after that pick some schedulers.
Clone your kernel (git clone)
Fetch the other kernel repo (git fetch)
Pick the commit (git cherrz-pick)
Push the commit (git push)
Then you will see n0aaz committed with Trafalgar-Square (your username) on date in GitHub.

Yeah I agree this is a normal procedure for a kernel port but for us it isn't really a port as the i9300 and the i9305 share the same smdk4412 source with very few differences so you can easily recycle the folder and I take as proof that it is booting. Plus I have zero knowledge about standalone kernel building so I'm happy with the boeffla building script...
