[Tutorial]Buliding Firefox os form sources - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I NEED TO COREST SOME LINES SO PLZ DO USE IT STILL
For buliding Firefox os you need UNLOCKER BOOTlODER,andorid-sdk,linux ubuntu 12.04 64bit,for now only Arc and Ray are suported
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf2.13 bison bzip2 ccache curl flex gawk gcc g+ + g+ +-multilib git ia32-libs lib32ncurses5-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev make
also you need java jdk 6
Preparing source
To download as shown below source (depending on the environment, but it takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour).
Code:
$ Mkdir ~ / b2g_work
$ cd ~ / b2g_work
$ export B2G_WORK = `pwd`
(When you build the arc for you)
$ export DEVICE = anzu
(When you build for the ray)
$ export DEVICE = urushi
$ git clone https://github.com/neuralassembly/B2JC.git B2G
$ cd B2G
The following if you want to build a Firefox OS normal,
Code:
./config.sh
Chose your phone
Code:
./config.sh (device name)
(Arc is sc02, Ray is sc03)
When the download is finished, it is placed in the source tree dump-ray or Xperia arc of / system directory, but will sometimes use the file of pre-built CyanogenMod9 here.
Code:
$ mkdir $ B2G_WORK/B2G/backup- $ DEVICE
$ cd $ B2G_WORK/B2G/backup- $ DEVICE
If (arc, and place here to download the cm-9.1.0-anzu.zip from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=anzu,
If the ray, and place here to download the cm-9.1.0-urushi.zip from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=urushi)
$ unzip cm-9.1.0-$ DEVICE.zip
$ cd $ B2G_WORK/B2G/device/semc / $ DEVICE /
$. / Extract-files.sh
By the operation of the above, the following will be created.
(In the case of arc) $ B2G_WORK/B2G/vendor/semc/anzu /
(In the case of ray) $ B2G_WORK/B2G/vendor/semc/urushi /
[Optional]if you using japanise xperia ray you can use this to slove sensor problems.
Code:
cd $ B2G_WORK/B2G/vendor/semc/urushi/proprietary/etc /
$ wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69652790/patch/b2g-urushi-sensors-conf.patch
$ patch <b2g-urushi-sensors-conf.patch
[Optional]if you want japanise lang
Code:
$ cd $ B2G_WORK
(Arranged by downloading from the http://sourceforge.jp/projects/naist-jdic/releases/ naist-jdic-0.4.3.tar.gz)
$ tar zxvf naist-jdic-0.4.3.tar.gz
$ cd $ B2G_WORK/B2G/gaia/apps/keyboard/js/imes/jskanji/dict
$ mkdir ipadic
$ cp $ B2G_WORK/naist-jdic-0.4.3/naist-jdic.dic ipadic /
(This fails by the value of the environment variable LANG. It is sufficient to set ja_JP.utf8 This instruction) $ make json
some addons for fixing some bugs
Code:
$ cd $ B2G_WORK/B2G/gaia/build
$ wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69652790/patch/b2g-webapp-zip.patch
$ patch <b2g-webapp-zip.patch
[CODE$ Cd $ B2G_WORK/B2G/gecko/hal/gonk /
$ Wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69652790/patch/b2g-GonkHal.patch
$ Patch <b2g-GonkHal.patch][/CODE]
Make the environment variable settings
Code:
$ Export LOCALE_BASEDIR = $ B2G_WORK/B2G/multilocale/gaia-l10n
$ Export LOCALES_FILE = $ B2G_WORK/B2G/multilocale/languages-japan.json
$ Export PATH = "$ PATH: $ B2G_WORK/B2G/multilocale/compare-locales/scripts"
$ Export PYTHONPATH = "$ B2G_WORK/B2G/multilocale/compare-locales/lib"
$ Export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL = 1
$ Export GAIA_DEV_PIXELS_PER_PX = 2
Building the kernel
Code:
$ cd $ B2G_WORK
$ git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/semc-kernel-msm7x30-b ics
$ cd semc-kernel-msm7x30
$ export ARCH = arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE = $ B2G_WORK/B2G/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
$ make cyanogen_ $ DEVICE_defconfig
$ make-j16
$ cp `find drivers net-name" *. Ko "` $ B2G_WORK/B2G/device/semc / $ DEVICE /
$ cp arch / arm / boot / zImage $ B2G_WORK/B2G/device/semc / $ DEVICE / kernel
Compile source
Code:
cd B2G_WORK/B2G
./build.sh otapackage
Build is complete,
If out / target / product / anzu / full_anzu-ota-eng.username.zip of arc
If out / target / product / urushi / full_urushi-ota-eng.username.zip-ray
Because we can, and burn it.
In advance, so that you can connect with adb and fastboot to the terminal, please be sure that you install the driver.
First, you may want to place the SD card the zip file that you can try build.
In addition, it should remove the boot.img from the zip file in advance, and place it on the PC.
Then turn off the terminal, hold down the menu in the case of arc,
You will need to connect it to a USB port on the PC while holding down the volume up key in the case of ray.
Enter the fastboot mode, arc is the LED next to the USB port, around the home button should glow in blue ray. There
Code:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Run and burn the boot.img. Then, I will restart with the following command.
Code:
Fastboot reboot
In a state where the visible logo of Free Xperia Project, arc is battered the menu button,
ray will roll the volume down key. Both, LED home key surrounding lights and success,
I enter the CWM recovery.
In CWM recovery, after running the wipe data / factory reset,
from install zip from sdcard, please burn the zip file you created.
will add soon Work/not list

better to use fxp nightly build rather than cm stable branch

Idea for Dual-boot option [Android and B2G]
I am not an expert kernel developer but :
We know that B2G requires only to modify ramdisk in Kernel right? [init.b2g.rc and init.rc]
an0nym0us_' MESA Hybrid kernel can change ramdisk based on some criterias:
Code:
# android ramdisk, decision to load which ramdisk is based on relevant string in build.prop and availability of semc framework
ICS="ro.build.version.sdk=15"
JB="ro.build.version.sdk=16"
JB2="ro.build.version.sdk=17"
if busybox [ -e /system/build.prop ];
then
if busybox grep -qs $ICS /system/build.prop
then
if busybox [ -e /system/framework/semcrilextension.jar ];
then
load_image=/sbin/ramdisk-stock.cpio.lzma
else
load_image=/sbin/ramdisk-cm9.cpio.lzma
fi;
fi;
if busybox grep -qs $JB /system/build.prop
then
load_image=/sbin/ramdisk-cm10.cpio.lzma
fi;
if busybox grep -qs $JB2 /system/build.prop
then
load_image=/sbin/ramdisk-cm10.1.cpio.lzma
fi;
fi;
In system.img for Firefox OS we only have B2G folder and some specific files right?:silly:
Then comes the Idea :
If we leave the entire Android system files and we make a CWM Flashable zip with all B2G specific files and another one with android files that are replaced(like usr, fonts folders etc.) we can change the OS without losing any data .(theoretically :laugh: )
And every Zip will include the right Build.prop to help kernel decide what OS to boot
Also i think that data files from B2G will not fight with files from Android :silly: They will ignore each other right? :fingers-crossed:
Steps will be like that :
==Flash Hybrid Kernel==
==Flash Full Android==
Boot Android,installing apps,games doing whatever you want then when you get bored :
-Boot into recovery flash the B2G Flashable zip
Boot into Firefox OS,play some HTML5 games,make pictures,anything you can then when you get bored :
-Get back in CWM flash the Android Flashable zip and start over again .
I know that my idea may be stupid but i really like to find a "viking method" to problems )

you can dowload my kernel then unpuck it with kernel kitchen and look inside ramdisk,then make same changes for your phone and recompile kernel

yup i need to update theard

a thought
@n1kolaa if i use your sources of firefox os and use device tree of cynogenmod (FXP) as base then will it able to run on 2011 mdpi ex . mini Pro ..?
cause devices have same processor and ram what say ...?:fingers-crossed:

Hello everyone.I want to build firefox os but I am noob.So my question is how difficult is to build firefox os for lww.I have built only stock based kernels so I don't know if it's difficult.And how much time the build will take in my pc with a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 Dual Core,3GB RAM,and 200GB 7200rpm hdd.And I have Ubuntu 13.04 32-bit
