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.

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.

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

Read the read me there,then add your device and kernel tress then.add the proprietary files (vendor tree)
Then you should be able to compile...keyword should...

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?

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

I guess you are supposed to clone only one of those repos listed, not the entire.
https://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html
Did you read it somewhere?
Still, I would advise to use repo utility.

I am trying to follow this guide:
Code:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_h901#What_you.E2.80.99ll_need
in order to build cyanogenmod for my H901, but after the initial repo sync "completed" without error, i follow the guide through breakfast and the the file extraction, and brunch fails to build all targets. after this, doing repo sync again gives me this:
Code:
Fetching projects: 99% (524/529) Fetching project CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display
Fetching project CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display
Fetching project CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/cm-13.0
error: Cannot fetch CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_pplus
error: Exited sync due to fetch errors
I want to say this is due to the v10 not being a "supported device" for CM13 yet, as it is not listed on the lunch menu. but i was running the test builds in the dev section just fine, and i'm sure it's a fairly simple matter to pull the right stuff from git, but i'm a newbie to this kind of development.
After successfully building from source, i want to build a custom rom based on CM13 and keep the LG stock camera app, and the LGSignboard second screen function, and gain all the Cyanogenmod goodies too. any help or guidance with that quest would be appreciated.
I really hope someone can answer this for you.. :/
I think, you are trying to sync cm-13.0 branch of cyanogenmod lge_pplus kernel repo in your local manifest. But this is not there. Its only the cm-12.1 branch there: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_pplus. For cm-13 you will need a different kernel source path. Hopefully there are already cm-13 roms for your device and with sources on github, where from you can sync?
Okay, that makes sense.
I was following a guide on CM wiki to build CM13 for the v10, why would that branch not be present on github if there is a guide to build from it?
I'll poke around github and xda for available kernel source.
