In my experience compiling AOSP from source and working with the source code you have to specify which branch of Android you want to download (Can't specfiy multiple banches to download at once) for example to download the latest version of Jelly Bean you would run the command "repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.3.1_r1". I would recommend creating two different directories to hold your ICS source code and your Jelly Bean source code, an example might look something like the following:
Code:
mkdir ~/android/jellybean
cd ~/android/jellybean
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.3.1_r1
repo sync
mkdir ~/android/ics
cd ~/android/ics
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.4_r2.1
repo sync
Let me know if you still have questions.
ok cheers, so i cant sync both at the same time into different folder?
edit: well thats a bit of a b**** then
also one other thing,, what changes to a CM device tree would i need to make to build a aosp rom

Xda university has a nice page with some repo tricks.
Shows
Code:
repo init --reference=~/android/cm -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb
for syncing files faster in the same android version but different sources.
But I don't think that's what you're looking for.
Btw, if you just want to simultaneously download both sources, why don't you just open another terminal window

I have only a little experience working with modifying device tree's but you shouldn't have really make any changes to the device tree to build AOSP. All you should have to do is download the Cyanogenmod device tree and use that as your device tree for compiling AOSP, what device are you compiling for?
im gonna be compiling for a couple devices,, galaxy s3 lte and huawei sonic u8650

compile aokp on galaxy ace
Hi guys, I'm new on deving and this is the first time I try to compile a rom... I'm a sensation user, but I want to make an aokp build for my friend that has a galaxy ace with a good working cm9 rom... now, can someone help me to understand which source use, which git sync, I am pretty confused... I have the aokp source here https://github.com/aokp and maclaw source (fixing things on cm9) here https://github.com/MaclawStudios I followed a classic guide to compile aokp/cm9 fron source and I already installed all the necessary stuff (sdk, jdk ecc) to compile. now I'm confused about how proceed with source and git...maybe if someone tells me what I have to type on the terminal and the reason why I am typing it would be great thanks for your time

ok! exactly, but I'm a bit confused about device trees, proprietary files....I don't know exactly what they are and what commands I should use to add them!... example: ok I add the aokp repo $ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b ics $ repo sync temporary fix to build: $ install -d prebuilt/android-arm/kernel curl -o prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/LINUX_KERNEL_COPYING -O now? what sould I take from here https://github.com/MaclawStudios and how do I add on the source? with what commands I mean... and I don't know which of them are the device tree and vendor tree...(but at least I understood which one is the kernel tree XD) thanks a lot for your help
I found this command to clone git from a cm9 source $ git clone https://code.google.com/p/cooper-cyanogen/ here https://code.google.com/p/cooper-cyanogen/source/checkout and what if I sync the aokp repo, than clone this git? if is possible to do, when should I add it?
[Q] Getting CyanogenMod source
Hi Guys, I've never used repo before but I am trying to get hold of a copy of the cyanogenmod sources (jellybean). I followed the instructions on this page (grr no links!) wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus_(GSM):_Compile_CyanogenMod_9_(Linux) down to this section: Code: repo init -u git:// github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics Now I changed "ics" at the end to "jellybean" as I assumed that was the latest branch for CM10. Then I've run: Code: repo sync -j4 Now I'm just wondering (as my sync has been going for hours) is this syncing all of the cyanogenmod sources? I've seen quite a lot of references scroll across the screen that relates to previous versions of android. Or is this actually just download the jellybean code? Thanks
Oh well, scratch that. It finished about 10 minutes after asking! Sods law eh?!
[Q] Help porting AOSP roms using source ?
Hi all.. I want to learn how to port an AOSP rom to my Sony Xperia S.. I followed this guide: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-aosp-roms-using-source-code But I'm stuck at this: Now once that’s done go to the github page of the AOSP rom that is being ported and also fork their vendor setup repo so we can add the device to the setup so it can be called later on when we run the . build/envsetup or source build/envsetup.sh command this allows us to compile the rom after when we have selected our target device. Click to expand... Click to collapse How can I find an AOSP source in github ? Yes I found this but I don't know how to deal with it. Maybe it's a noob question for you but really need help.. Thanks.

Repo sync and change of branches
Hi guys, I regularly run into problems when I try to resync custom rom repos after a while. Sometimes the intended branch in a git repository changes, but a repo sync won't checkout the branch. Is this normal behaviour or a specific problem of my roms manifest? D802 @ AOSPA 4.4
