Hey guys. So would anyone like to help me out in building an AOSP ROM for the LG Optimus S?
Currently, I have compiled the LG AOSP 2.2 kernel (zImage), and compiled the Android 2.2 AOSP system. Apparently now I need to get the LG vendor tree so I can compile that too into a working system? Can anyone help me out with that? This is my first time ever building a ROM from source code.
i hope someone will listen your help request
I hope so too... I hope so too.
I hope so too, would be nice to have another ROM option for the Optimus S. And this is a stepping stone to CyanogenMod on it
I'm also interested to create a fully working build of 2.2.2 AOSP Froyo.
But I'm new to the Android's world. I need that someone teach me how to build android from source. Also I need to know how to port the LG's drivers.....
I'm willing to help, but I can't program in any language. However, I know the basics, I can compile stuff, can do fairly well with the command line, I use Arch Linux as my main OS (so I can pretty much do compilations and stuff without a problem), etc.
I still don't know much about Android at this time, and contributing to this "project" may be my way of getting to know things
Count be in.. i m good with C,C++ ,shell scripts .tell me wat to do..i m new to android
Building Android from source can be quite tricky when proprietary software must be compiled in. I'm compiling since 2 months on gingerbread and nothing but phone is working... no USB,no camera, no bluetooth ... its now simply a phone^^
But, if your are lucky with Froyo you need only the source from android 2.2.x and the one shipped by LG (I know there are some sources for Optimus One, but don't know about Optimus S). Put it all together and compile the code - while/after compiling you will see lot of errors, there must be fixed by yours.
Have a look at cyanogen CM6.1, there have many fixes built in. If you would like to build a brand new system from scratch by yourself, i'll wish you many luck and lots of time

So in your opinion it would be a lot easier to just build a CyanogenMod 6.1 ROM? Sounds like a plan. I read that I could just pull stuff from the Legend and use that as well? Could you help me with that stuff (pulling from the Legend source, that is)?
Legend stuff is less compatible then i thought. You can't use nothing from there.
As my work at 2.3 is now stopped (I haven't bugs related to working stuff, I have no idea what to do with 3d and gps and I too lazy to patch libcamera now) I hope to start work on CM6 next holiday's.

As I already got working GSM/Audio/WiFi/Bluetooth/USB/Sensors in 2.3 (port to 2.2 is easy) I will continue work in my repo https://github.com/mik9
Ypu can send your patches via "pull request" functionality.

I won't have any time to work on CM tonight or probably the rest of this week, but as soon as I do I'll set up my Github.

Haven't tried it, but all tutorials on the internet about compiling android are for linux. Probably because android is a linux based operation system. I don't think it's possible to compile on windows
Install linux or use the live CD...
well I guess I'll have to install Ubuntu then
Thanks... and any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Where I can find the tutorial for compiling my rom?
hi

Sorry, it's not quite as simple as that. First set up your Linux install, and all necessary tools (check the Android developers site), and then come back and ask where to begin!
any chance by making an htc sense ui custom rom for it?
Custom ROM
Can I also get the custom ROM for SG 551?
Thanks,

How to proceed?
Many thanks for any help!
thanx man real helpful
I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself
While everyone plays around in Android world,
I thought: why not go outside it and build something not so ordinary?
I've already tagged most capable developers to this project, so if you're willing to help. let me know.
Some of these unusual OSes might never work, but we could try, at least.
No announcements, no release dates. Just for playing around. For now.

Okay.
First off, Firefox OS is coming in the game.
I've already gathered neccessary sources, so next step is to make appropriate device tree.
Since Firefox OS uses Android kernel, it wouldn't be much of a problem, I think.
The whole major work will begin upcoming weekend. Stay tuned.

Sailfish OS will be on hold. It requires Cyanogenmod 10.1 as a bare minimum. Stock ROM won't cut it.
Okay... Firefox OS... Bad news... We need completely stock AOSP ROM in order for Firefox OS to work.
I started compiling and porting it and now everything's on hold. We have to hope that Cristi succeeds with his work eventually.
All of these OSes are similar to Android (uses same kernel, uses same drivers, work literally the same) but with current Jelly Bean, I can't do pretty much anything.
I will port those OSes. You can trust me, but without time, I'm powerless.

Ubuntu touch?
So Ubuntu should be easy too, as it is similliar to CM when it comes to building and porting from what i heard. I am completely noob to porting mobile OSes, but i will be trying to port it, maybe i will make something useful (I know I sound too optimistic)
Sorry for bad english
Is the ROM build completed?(Not asking for an ETA)
But Thanks for the rom.

If devs abandoned making these OS'es for this Phone, then why isn't this thread closed and deleted.
Thread Closed.
Was Wondering as We got All Sources and a Good Development
Why not Somebody Port Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS
as Both the Operating Systems Sources are Available
I Myself might have done it But I'm Out of FUP ;_;
Reply your Thoughts

Ubuntu touch its an good idea
This is a great idea and I'd love to see Ubuntu touch and get my hands on it
I tried sailfish os to port but it fails because the cm12.1 sorce code is not fully available and this makes it difficult for ubuntu you need cm10 or 11 resources , therefore it is almost impossible
but not perhaps maybe even
Maybe it east for me too much paperwork
Actually, Ubuntu touch is great idea though. But it's complex cuz it's need older android source code like jelly bean and kitkat source. Which mean it's impossible I think (my friend said that)
PS: Firefox OS has been dead last year.
View attachment 3872464 View attachment 3872465I again sat down at my Sailfish os port and have fixed some errors and comical he it at build without breaking what was always my problem one can hope maybe it will work
