Hi all,
I want to port MIUI v5 to the Desire X using patchrom based on deodexed stock ROM. I'm following https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom but am stuck at the ota_target_from_phone because I think packages.xml is missing (the apkcerts.txt is in place, checked that already). I'm getting this in terminal while running the script:
Code:
Run getfilesysteminfo to build filesystem_config.txt
131 KB/s (5572 bytes in 0.041s)
Run getfilesysteminfo and recoverylink.py to recover symlink

For your info, I didn't use repo to download the files but did a zip download of all needed directories, unpacked and renamed them. Also, I am using Arch Linux, and before you ask, python is installed and android sdk along with platform tools is installed too and added to path. I hope it doesn't matter that I use zsh shell, does it? I modified .zshrc for path. Any ideas / suggestions where to find packages.xml?
Can you work if i give ICS stockrom??/ for miui v4?
Maybe, but I think the problem will still be the same, and I definitely want to do a JB ROM with MIUI v5... What I found now: The ota_target_from_phone script pulls packages.xml from /data/system, so it should be generated by android at some point... I'll have to check and see if it is there. I'll definitely give it a go again tonight...
EDIT: When trying for the first time, I was on hboot 1.25 using Philz Touch recovery for JB hboot compiled by him (the one with incorrect fstab), so maybe that could have been the problem as well...
EDIT 2: Will try with the one fixed by atis112 now...
Tried again now with fixed recovery, didn't make any difference.
But found something: The first error appearing comes from the script "apkcerts.py" which is to be found in the miui patchrom tools directory. The relevant part of the script (the point where it crashes) is:
Code:
if len(sys.argv) != 3:
usage()
sys.exit(1)
And it is called from ota_target_from_phone like this:
Code:
python $TOOL_DIR/apkcerts.py $TARGET_FILES_DIR/packages.xml $META_DIR/apkcerts.txt
The variables are pointing to valid directories. The full scripts can be accessed here:
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools/blob/ics/apkcerts.py for apkcerts.py and
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools/blob/ics/releasetools/ota_target_from_phone for the other one.
Ideas?
Bump.

Yup pretty much MIUI is not supported or respected around here.
So, I've opened a thread in MIUI Germany forum now, can be found here:
http://miui-germany.de/forum2/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=6565
If you still have ideas, you can post them here, too.
Does this MIUI completely work?
It's not even close to finish yet. It will work, but it needs time.

Hi all,
Have been trying to build CM6 on and off for a day or two now. Coming up against errors in libxxxx.so so I 'make clobber'ed and started again.
I've had the following a couple of times over the two days:
Code:
Target system fs image: out/target/product/passion/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_unopt_intermediates/system.img

maxsize=$((142737408)); if [ "$total" -gt "$maxsize" ]; then echo "error: $printname too large ($total > [142737408 - $reserve])"; false; elif [ "$total" -gt $((maxsize - 32768)) ]; then echo "WARNING: $printname approaching size limit ($total now; limit $maxsize)"; fi
[I]/bin/bash: line 0: [: : integer expression expected
/bin/bash: line 0: [: : integer expression expected
[/I]Installed file list: out/target/product/passion/installed-files.txt
specifically the two lines in italics - anything to worry about? I have a newly-timestamped set of boot/userdata/system .img files in the target output folder.
Am I good to go?
It should be complete if you have out/target/product/passion/system.img
You can fastboot it to phone with boot.img.
Next time i recommend you to run "make otapackage" instead of just "make". This will create update.zip which can be flashed from recovery.
Building CyanogenMod 6.1 from source but HTC magic failed to start
Hi,
I have recently built CyanogenMod 6.1 from source to generate update zip file and use it to flash my HTC magic (Google IO). But the system won't come up completely. Using adb shell, I found the OS is up and running but all the java apps seems not running at all. Can anyone shed some lights to me? I really appreciate any of your help.
And also I was getting the latest source code of CM 6.1 and wondering what is the branch tag for stable CM 6.0 source code to get the repo?
thanks
Eric
repo is always the latest source code, make sure the u lunch/select the right device and have all the properitery libs in place n u shud have no problem
Thanks charansingh!
I was using 'lunch cyanogen_dream_sapphire-eng', I hope this is the right for my Google IO phone?
And I did use extract_file.sh to get the proprietary files in place. I will try it again. thanks.
kernel customization with HTC Hero CyanogenMod source
Hi all,
I want to build my customized WiFi driver and wpa_supplicant in HTC Hero CyanogenMod 6.1? But I found the 'kernel-msm' actually did not get compiled during the make build process. Can anyone provide me a tip of how to do it? The Hero make build process seems different than the HTC magic build process which I did see the kernel-msm got compile during the make build process.
thanks.
(This is not nessesary for MAC but you can have this for further use later,
In general you will need:
Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
JDK 6 if you wish to build Gingerbread or newer; JDK 5 for Froyo or older. You can download both from java.sun.com.
Git 1.7 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com)
Setting up a Mac OS X build environment
To build the Android files in a Mac OS environment, you need an Intel/x86 machine running MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Android must be built on a case-sensitive file system because the sources contain files that differ only in case. We recommend that you build Android on a partition that has been formatted with the journaled file system HFS+. HFS+ is required to successfully build Mac OS applications such as the Android Emulator for OS X.
Creating a case sensitive disk image
If you want to avoid partitioning/formatting your hard drive, you can use a case-sensitive disk image instead. To create the image, launch Disk Utility and select "New Image". A size of 25GB is the minimum to complete the build, larger numbers are more future-proof. Using sparse images saves space while allowing to grow later as the need arises. Be sure to select "case sensitive, journaled" as the volume format.
You can also create it from a shell with the following command:
# hdiutil create -type SPARSE -fs 'Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+' -size 40g ~/android.dmg
This will create a .dmg (or possibly a .dmg.sparsefile) file which, once mounted, acts as a drive with the required formatting for Android development. For a disk image named "android.dmg" stored in your home directory, you can add the following to your ~/.bash_profile to mount the image when you execute "mountAndroid":
# mount the android file image
function mountAndroid { hdiutil attach ~/android.dmg -mountpoint /Volumes/android; }
Once mounted, you'll do all your work in the "android" volume. You can eject it (unmount it) just like you would with an external drive.
Installing required packages
Install XCode from the Apple developer site http://developer.apple.com/. We recommend version 3.1.4 or newer, i.e. gcc 4.2. Version 4.x could cause difficulties. If you are not already registered as an Apple developer, you will have to create an Apple ID in order to download.
Install MacPorts from macports.org.
Note: Make sure that /opt/local/bin appears in your path BEFORE /usr/bin. If not, add
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH
to your ~/.bash_profile.
Get make, git, and GPG packages from MacPorts:
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install gmake libsdl git-core gnupg
If using Mac OS 10.4, also install bison:
$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 sudo port install bison
Reverting from make 3.82
There is a bug in gmake 3.82 that prevents android from building. You can install version 3.81 using MacPorts by taking the following steps:
Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf and add a line that says
file:///Users/Shared/dports
above the rsync line. Then create this directory:
$ mkdir /Users/Shared/dports
In the new dports directory, run
$ svn co --revision 50980 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/devel/gmake/ devel/gmake/
Create a port index for your new local repository:
$ portindex /Users/Shared/dports
Finally, install the old version of gmake with
$ sudo port install gmake @3.81
Setting a file descriptor limit
On MacOS the default limit on the number of simultaneous file descriptors open is too low and a highly parallel build process may exceed this limit.
To increase the cap, add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile:
# set the number of open files to be 1024
ulimit -S -n 1024
Next: Download the source
Your build environment is good to go! Proceed to downloading the source....
Why you posted this? It can be found on android's website. Also,you didn't post the whole tutorial.
why not simply install VirtualBox vor Mac and install a VM within?
...sometimes the life is complicated^^
@SWEATTAIMI did you actually manage to get a fully working build on mac? And if yes which version of OS X?
I've tried many times on OS X 10.7 and eventually ended up installing ubuntu on a separate partition...
secondary partition? what about the users here?
i use a VM on a small **** x86 notebook and can do all the development work + complete compiling. i thought a mac has much better hardware^^
I used to have ubuntu installed in vmware too but compiling took too long and it was really annoying. I rather prefer it this way... No shared resources

I have tried every fix I have found online and all return this exact error. I tried changing the permisons on etc/sudoers to make sure they were right. I also added a these paths.

I have even placed a permission file inside sudoers.d to try to add the path but I just ended up ruining my root access and have to do a complicated fix through my bootloader.but just cant seem to get it to work I am newer to linux and know basic commands but have no idea why I keep getting the same error or how to fix it any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your reply.
I already did that, and yes I edited defualt.prop inside the ramdisk to enable logcat during bootloop.
I have ported many roms, and also built some from source, and I noticed that I can only take logcat in bootloop if the rom is partially booted, notification led lights in red as a sign of that.
In Miui case the led doesn't light up, also I noticed that no space occupied in data partition (except for the extracted miui apps)
So I guess something prevent the rom to start and optimize any app, maybe it is the boot.img
If someone booted miui on MTK 32 bit chipset and MM kernel 3.18.19 can help me, I will be very thankful.
My device is Infinix Hot 2 running Android one 6.0 marshmallow, chipset: MT6580
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I have Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE and I could not find any custom ROMs so I decided that I will try to compile it myself. I downloaded the LineageOS source code from git (cm 14.1), the device trees and kernel from here: github/MSM8916-Samsung, and the samsung vendor files from the extraxt-files.sh script. The qcom-common files from here: github/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_qcom-common. Then I set up the environment (source build/envsetup.sh), ran breakfast and everything went fine. And then came brunch... It's running for about 40-50 minutes, and then stopes because "ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed". Here's the output from my terminal: https:/ /drive.google.com/fi le/d/0Bzbi _UspTWqac3ZkV2RhRjJGeW8/view?usp=drivesdk (remove spaces - sorry for that, but I cannot add links yet)
If the ninja log is needed I will post it.
Can someone help me to understand the code and find out why it is failing?
(I am new to developing stuff, but I have already compiled programs back in the days, and I am familiar with Linux, which is my daily driver)

I can't speak for others but I have not had success building anything android on 15.10,16.04,16.10... I always end up on a wild goose chase with all the compiling errors. I have consistently compiled without errors using 14.04 with oracle java 8 as that is what many of the manufacturers are using to make their own builds. If or oracle spits errors with 14.04 i try to use the rule of thumb and thats openjdk-6 and jre for LP, openjdk-7 and jre for MM and openjdk-8 for nougat builds but im only working on MM builds at the moment so your results may vary. Hope this helps a bit, just remember you can use sudo update-alternatives --display java to switch versions on the fly if needed and make sure you incorporate Google prebuilts as well. good luck ?

I recommend trying this keychain as it has full support for what you are attempting https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3606941 I have tried it myself but Id recommend cleaning your build folder before incorporating them, maybe even a reboot as well. i had forgotten about this but it has far more tools than the normal keychain.

So I downloaded the new toolchain/keychain/cross compiler (just to make sure - this is the same, yes?), but I cannot find how to choose it to compile android. The official post says:
Code:
# for arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=$(pwd)/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
but as I'm not compiling the kernel I assume it is not what I need (I think) and
Code:
echo $CROSS_COMPILE
does not return anything by default. If I should have used the export function then which file should I choose, because there are many (-strip, -strings, -size, -run, etc.).
There is a directory called toolchain (it contains only binutils) in the folder containing the source code. Should I add a folder called gcc and put the files there? Or maybe I have to run brunch with some options or change an entry in a configuration/make file?
I use the aarch64 version, but not the newest (20170515 not 20170520).

I do think as you said you will need to run brunch but resetting up your build & source environment to use the new keychain as you attempted to switch from one keychain to the other as well may help if this doesn't work as well take a look at your build configuration. rc file and make sure you don't have double entries or the new keychain missing i usually import the prebuilts i need as I am using arm architecture at the moment but i either download the individual keychain i need and place it in my source folder when i setup my build environment to be added to the build along with my sources before i run lunch because my source folder is untouched by me besides that at that point. I'll be home in an hour or so I'm going to see if i can track down some info to help you get untangled but i do recommend downloading the folder and making a gcc folder with the toolchain folder for arm64 as you said and and adding it to your build ensuring it is clean besides what you need and adding it then attempt to compile again.
I'm not sure if I should use aarch64. I have an armv7-a-neon (so 64-bit) and the internet says that aarch64 and arm64 is pretty much the same, but maybe I am wrong and I should use arm instead. But I think that does not matter until I put the new toolchain both to the aarch64 and arm directory (I guess the compilation process will choose the right one automatically). So I've put the compilers into prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/... folders, but should I delete the old compilers? And then run the environment setup again (all this stuff starts to make sense to me ?)

Yes you should delete the old ones and set up your enviroment again and it should include them. Also yes the compile proccess should pick the correct one in your case as long as you include them and you have, you are heading in the right direction for sure. :good:

So I deleted the old ones and I get this error:
Code:
ninja: error: 'prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-strip', needed by '/home/karol/android/system/out/target/product/coreprimeltexx/obj/lib/libdl.so', missing and no known rule to make it
I guess it's because somewhere in a configuration file there is an entry for the old compiler. I have deleted the out directory and played with the envsetup.sh file (about line 210 there is something about compilers),
Code:
# defined in core/config.mk
targetgccversion=
targetgccversion2=
export TARGET_GCC_VERSION=$targetgccversion
# The gcc toolchain does not exists for windows/cygwin. In this case, do not reference it.
export ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN=
export ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_2ND_ARCH=
local ARCH=$(get_build_var TARGET_ARCH)
case $ARCH in
x86) toolchaindir=x86/x86_64-linux-android-$targetgccversion/bin
;;
x86_64) toolchaindir=x86/x86_64-linux-android-$targetgccversion/bin
;;

toolchaindir2=arm/arm-linux-androideabi-$targetgccversion2/bin

;;

echo "Can't find toolchain for unknown architecture: $ARCH"
toolchaindir=xxxxxxxxx

esac
but this did not work either. The ninja files don't contain any gcc configuration. So where can I find the right configuration file? (I can't find the suggested configuration.rc file)

I usually compile using clang or maven as I only build AOSP atm https://ninja-build.org/manual.html this page includes directions that should assist you. Do you have maven or clang installed on your linux box?

So it seems that nor klang nor maven is installed on my machine (but as my computer claims ninja is not installed either I guess that they may be installed somewhere in the build directories). Should I try them instead of ninja?

So what I understand is:
(1) Install maven or clang (let's say clang because I found it in the official ubuntu repository)
(2) Configure brunch to use clang instead of ninja
So I checked the internet if there are any options I can use with brunch to run clang, but I didn't find any. Also looked through the envsetup.sh file, but there is nothing there, or I missed it.

tonight i will try doing some digging to see if i can help you. im away from my computer right now but ill do what i can. i would try would maven. clang assists with aosp primarily but maven should work for you as far as using a custom command to run maven, log out or reboot after you install it and run brunch as you normally would also please read this https://clang.llvm.org/comparison.html
