Hi all,
I'm trying to compile CM10.1 from source, but when trying to do a new repo sync I get this error:
Code:
fatal: duplicate project CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_maguro in /home/nickamina/android/cm10.1/.repo/manifest.xml
Can anybody suggest what the problem is here? Thanks
Final bump.

Stumbled on this looking for a resolution for this same error with my Nexus 5 Kernel. Only problem is my default.xml does not have a duplicate entry. If I remove the entry altogether from the default.xml and repo sync the Kernel is missing. If I start a build though it will first go and download the missing kernel from github. My guess is somewhere in either device or vendor being the N5 is an officially supported device there is a call to add the package to repo as repo sync in my case will only brake after the source has been compiled.

Working with GIT and GITHUB
for Android Source
I want to start by saying that I am no EXPERT on GIT, but I believe the best way to learn is through trial and error. Through my trials and errors, this is what I have found that works when working with Android Source Code (AOSP).
I started my Android Development basically porting and hacking Android Operating Systems for the HTC Thunderbolt. In my opinion I learned the basics plus some, and was able to create stable builds, which most users found enjoyable to operate. In my quest to further improve my Android development skills, I moved on the next step in Android Operating System development, build a custom AOSP ROM from source. I soon started browsing other developers GITHUB repositories and tried my best to figure out what was going on behind the scenes, in order to share my code with others and visa versa. This lead me to setting up a development platform, downloading the latest (at the time ICS) source and then compiling everything, to obtain, a fresh updated ROM. Obviously, the next step was editing the code to my liking and then trying to figure out how to update my code (push) to Github for version tracking and also hosting purposes. I shopped around on the net for GIT tutorials, and for the life of me, I could not figure out how to make things work the way they should. After doing research on the REPO command (which I came to find was basically the same as GIT but updated to work better with Android) I became more confused. I never found an article or tutorial which explained step-by-step the processes in which I am about to explain, which is why I decided to take the time to compose this tutorial.
Finally, through many hours of research and frustration, I came up with the answers I was so diligently seeking. Here are my findings:
The following Tutorial is for an INITIAL COMMIT of your source to GITHUB. Once you accomplish sending the initial data over, sending only changes thereafter, is very similar, but doesn't require as many steps.
Prerequisites:
(1) Create an account on GITHUB.com
(2) Download the Android Source into a working directory (in my case "android").
(3) Generate your Private SSH Keys for GITHUB (this will allow you to push files without logging in every time) You will find easy to understand directions HERE
For this example I will be working with the following variables:
My default Android directory: ~/android
For this tutorial I will editing the Setting.apk source code in order to add "XYZ" functionality
The source code for the Settings.apk is located in ~/android/packages/apps/Settings
So lets BEGIN!
First Step: You want to go into the directory where you are editing the source.
Code:
cd ~/android/packages/apps/Settings
Second Step: Initialize the Settings source folder and create a git repository
(which will track all changes)
Code:
git init
Third Step: Now you want to log-in to GITHUB and create a repository for your updated Settings source to go. In my case I created a folder on GUTHUB called android_packages_apps_Settings
Forth Step: After you have created your repository on GITHUB, from your Settings source folder, you need to tell git where to push the changes you have made. When you do the initial push, it is actually going to push all of the files in the Settings source folder including the changes you have made. Do this by typing the following command:
Code:
git remote add github [email protected]:yourusername/android_packages_apps_Settings.git
Obviously, you are going to change "yourusername" to whatever username you created on GITHUB.
Fifth Step: Add the entire Settings directory to git so that it starts tracking your additions, deletions, changes, etc for the entire directory.
Code:
git add -A
Sixth Step: Commit the changes that you made to the files in order to push to GITHUB. Now for this example, I want to commit changes to ALL files in the Settings folder.
Code:
git commit -a
If I wanted to just commit changes to one specific file, I would use "git commit whateverfile.java". After you commit, a text editor is going to pop-up. This is where you add the description for the change(s) you have made. If you have detailed change-log of each file you changed, you will not want to use the "git -a" command because the description you enter there is going to be the description for all of the files you edited.
Seventh Step: Now you want to change to the branch you plan on using to push your content. In my case its "jellybean".
Code:
git branch jellybean
Eighth Step: Finally you will now push your initial Settings commit to github. In order to do this, type:
Code:
git push github jellybean
This is going to push github ("github" is the name you gave the REMOTE when you executed the "git remote add" above) to a branch on GITHUB.com called "jellybean". You can name the branch whatever you like, but obviously naming it to the current Android release name is the easiest to remember for you and others.
You should now see that your computer sent files to GUTHUB.com and if you check online, you should see that your changes have been implemented and copied for the world to access.
I hope this helps people out with Android based git commands. I wish I found somthing like this months ago and maybe I would have a few extra hairs on my head. Let me know if you have any additional questions or would like me to add to this tutorial in any fashion. I will be doing a video shortly which I will post to this thread when complete.

Create repository on github called packages_apps_Settings
Clone it
Code:
git clone https://github.com/lithid/packages_apps_Settings.git
cd packages_apps_Settings
Find the aosp settings and pull that repo so all proper history is still entact. Then merge it.
Code:
git pull https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Settings refs/tags/android-4.1.1_r6
Save it
Now add it all and push to your local repo.

Use git cherry-pick but first you need to add the repo
So for example you want a commit from settings first you add CM's settings as a repo with git remote add <name> <url> ....Name can be anything
So it will be $ git add remote cm https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings
then you can either git fetch cm which will sync all the branches out you can just sync a single branch $ git fetch cm cm-10.1
Now you can use git cherry-pick to cherry-pick the commit from CM settings
$ git cherry-pick <sha1>
e.g
$ git cherry-pick 64c377
Now you will probably need to resolve some conflicts which is hard to explain how to resolve as it varies between has been added where cherry-picked.
can some one ell me how i merge the halo from PA ?
thanks

Does anyone have further information on how you would sync back to a master? That is, if I sync from AOSP today, make my own changes, and then a few weeks from now I want to resync to an updated AOSP, how do I do this?
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

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!

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!

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...

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.

Click to collapse
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

If you look at the second to last line of your screenshot it says fetching projects 100%, also what you can do to be sure everything is 100% synced, is exit out of terminal open a new terminal and cd into your source code folder and run repo sync again this should ensure everything is 100% synced.
Hello everyone, I am learning android development but i got stuck when i have to sync repo using command "repo sync". I am on a university's network so i think our university didnt allow us to access upload from github. Is there anything to get through or any alternate method because sources from git repositories are of more than 15 gb.
ASSALAMOALIKUM
Hello friends,
I have downloaded compressed .repo folder for pac rom 5.1.
I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I have extracted it and add Local_manifest instead of git cloning(no idea about it).
than i simply repo sync but it stuck on 99%.
After sometime i closed the stuck terminal and uses this command
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
But got an error something like this bash:. build/envsetup.sh no directory find.
Please help me thanks
You also need to download the source code compressed from wherever you got the .repo folder. If you're repo sync is failing, this is your only way out.
The reason for repo sync hanging is that SaberMod have moved their git repository and ROM devs have been slow in implementing this change. That is the cause of hanging of repo sync in recent times for almost all Rom sources.
Thanks man
I have successfully build the cm12 rom
