Open your defconfig file located in arch/arm/configs
Code:
[I]You will find something like:[/I]
[B]CONFIG_EXT4_FS is not set[/B]
[I]Change it to:[/I]
[B]CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y[/B]
Then you may have to define it in init.rc for the system to mount ext4 partition.
Check this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21885765&postcount=5
You may have to edit something, because that guide is pretty much device-specific, but theoretically everything's just same. Just have a good info about the partition structure of your device.

Answer on POST #3 by Enomther
Hi,
I'm the author of LeoFroYo, an android 2.2 ROM.
I'm currently trying to integrate read and write arabic support into it and would like to include additional languages into my ROM.
Note: this topic is not about arabic support, but about additional languages.
I know Enomther's TheOfficial has more locales than the stock AOSP.
So I opened this thread to:
Get help to include more languages into the Android system
Make a guide on HowTo do so
So here are my questions:
But how to I include new languages into the system?
Do I only add strings.xml into frameworks_base?
What files do I need?
Simple XML or do I need to madify Makefiles?
How to compile with new languages?
I want those added languages to be listed into the SetupWizard
I think it's Enomther who told me this requiered to change things in vendor/.
But don't know quite what to do nor how.
Thanks everyone to help this community
PS: I will update this first post when a solution/steps will be found so it will be a guide for devs
Am I the only one who's concerned about languages support?
maybe all are satistied with the stock languages
btw, I also want to know how

Yea that was me ...
1) Do not modify and/or add strings.xml to framework
2) Do not modify other xml or any Makefiles
3) Like any other compilation, type "make"
So here's the answer to your real question ...
What I was referring to previously is the need to create a device/htc/passion/(vendor-custom).mk file. To include more languages. (This is what I do)
However..........
Here's another method that may be clearer for you to implement the first go around ...
Apply this patch here ...
Code:
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build/commit/a5c3cb5e5bb243234815159bf63c95ad7327a7ca
Then ... make sure your buildspec.mk includes this line ...
Code:
TARGET_PRODUCT:=full_passion
That's it.

Thanks Leo for taking this initiative for Arabic language, lots of people will appreciate your work. Thanks again.

Hi,
I'm searching a way to build my own rom and at the same time to try porting a rom to the desire HD
for the begining, i think that i need to use dsixda kitchen and BEFORE building it, i know that i need to do some modifications like on the update-script and build.prop
what else do i need to take care of ?
i really need that someone give me some advice, help or tips
thanks in advance
i'm also searching how to set up the default home application in a custom rom
i guess that i should modify an xml file under /system/customize OR should this be done under the build.prop file ???
Android is a free system.
But the cooks do not want to give any help to cook the rom on Desire HD.
I also asked for help but I have not received a response.
Hi,
I'm currently woring on creating a complete VM and a document with instraction of getting from compile to flahsing from begining.
The complete enviroment will be set and ready with the Stock ROM (currently targeting 4.0.2.A.0.58) and the Android OS.
This will allow users to be able to take this VM and start right a away to change the Stock ROM and integrate changes for that from other modes.
will update this thread when it's done. and links for download (unless someone will be faster the me )
18/12 Update:
Just now finish creating an working and compiling enviroment with 2.3.4_r1 of Android
now working on making it to work with the Sony Ericson source code...

LaBBa.
Hi,
I need a little help here... i have followed the steps in Google:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
and also the Journal:
http://journal.tianhao.info/2010/12/compile-android-gingerbread-on-ubuntu-10-10/
i have compiled the code and got it up and running and also in emulator with the command line that was written in the Journal and the Android is working..
now i try to understand the Sony Ericson guide:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
I have downloaded the ARM cross-compiler and installed it, was really bad instructions on how to install it. but just need to run: sh ./the_downloaded.bin
and installed it correctly
after installing the ARM cross-compiler successfully done a make to the kernel but only after fixing the symbolic link that from some reason was attach to 0x86 arch and not arm.
the paths where different since i used the default installer path and match the same version that they used: 2010q1
so first done this for the .config :
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then run the make:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now i got kernel compiled!
the question is:
i know that with the Android compiling i got 3 files in the /source_android/out/target/product/generic:
1. ramdisk.img
2. system.img
3. userdata.img
do i need to use the ramdisk from the Android for the next steps of SE guide ?
1. Getting a RAM disk and extract it
2. Re-package it with all of the kernel of SE that we just compiled
3. Assembling the boot.img using the mkbootimg
moreover, after i assemble the files i want to make a really clean installation and cleaning all the flash and installing all in a vanilla mod.
what should be the next steps ?
Regards,
LaBBa.
I thought that the community here will help in this small matter so we will have more pepole that could join the efforts of making brtter and cooller roms... I guess I was wrong. All I wanted to do is help the dev community and create the full step by step guide to starting developers in the android world....
Sadly I'm forced to end this thread due to lake of knowledge...

im sorry i would help but i dont know much lol srry no one that knew could or would help
hi,
I hope that you are able to get this working.
i will use it when it is finished
Edit: what have you exactly done?
Maybe i can help
all i wanted to do is to download all the source codes and compile it and then creat the same version (for this case the .58) manually and get to the same images that need to be flahed.
i wanted to create from this a complete tut that others that have allot of knowladge in development could start working without the stragling of setting up an eviroment or all the issues about how to get from compiling to acctuall creating an .img to flash it on your device.
just a simple "out of the box" solution so pepole could get and work right a way without wasting time in assembling the source codes and setting then env.
ok, and where are you?
I mean what have you done for now??
please see the second post.. it's all there..
yes you need that ramdisk for the kernel.
but you need to edit the ramdisk to work with the xperia play.
i can do that, can you upload it??
what i'm going to do now is, i'm going to upload all the VM to the web and write the complete tutrial for all the steps i have done so far and then we could continue. thank you for trying to help!
ok,
if you need some help PM me!
Can someone help Task getting the block number partition for boot.img?
He needs this to finish his ROM.
I don’t know how to do it but maybe a more experienced user, developer can help?
@DooMLord can you help us?
Anybody?
No need to open a new thread for that, existing one is enough. Everybody around is aware of his problem and will provide help when available.
