Hello guys, first of all let me clarify that im a noob, but what the hell. i decided making my first steps into android development,
so i decided first of all i ll try make a build of my favorite rom (pacman rom) from their source.
im following this guide : http://opensourcegangster.com/blog/...d-your-own-cyanogenmod-custom-rom-from-source
and the videoguide related to it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAyxypK7_K8
but obviously replacing the cyanogenmod github used in the guide by pacman's github.
well lets get started, i set up a virtual machine using virtual box and ubuntu, and i got till step 5 without issues.
its repo sync time, i initiallise the repo, start repo sync, and here is the first problem i encountered.
at 32% more or less, i starting getting errors(couldnt resolve host,url return error 403,could fetch something) finally after a few minutes the repo sync ends with the message " stop sync due to fetching errors". looking up on the internet i found a way to solve this.instead of using repo sync. i had used repo sync -f . this makes the repo continues syncing although fetch errors.with this modification repo sync finish correctly
the first question is: is this well done or my source ll be incomplete because of those thing it couldnt fetch?.in case its not well done what should i do?.
once i solved this doubt i ll continue explaining other problems i had after this one.
thanks a lot guys

Hey XDA, no time no speak,
After writing a story about it, I went and purchased the HiSense Sero 7 Pro (I recommend you go buy one), and I decided to do a source build of CM10.1 on it. There is a problem though, the manufacturer is not responding to my request of releasing the kernel source (even though I know that GPL requires it), so an issue there obviously.
Moving on though, I decided to go ahead and sync the repo. The only problem is, I am at the part where I need to make the local_manifest.xml (which I have), but because I don't have kernel source, my directories on github (located here) are empty.
I think it's worth noting that I am on an OS X system (only got 500GB, gave 75 of it to a windows partition and its already slow, couldn't imagine fighting with a Ubuntu partition), and I read the CM wiki top to bottom, spent hours upon hours googling, and no luck. Another issue I have is that when running this command:
$ ./build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh samsung i9300 ~/Desktop/i9300boot.img
I get errors with it questioning whether or not my environment is correctly set up. I also try saw that it said "Create extract-files.sh and setup-makefiles.sh scripts" but I cant run the scripts because they arent available for mac! Sooo im in a rock and a hard place man, any assistance??
Im very much welcome to giving any additional information that you may need Thanks in advance for help
Im building cyanogenmod 11 for the htc dna, this is my first attemt into building my own rom however I seemed unable to get a bootable zip until now.
I captured a screen.log to scan for any errors later (NO clue what im looking for in here)
So I searched the log for "waiting for unfinished jobs" because this is always what seems to happen to me and this time i was ready to find the errors. Well lucky for me every job finished so what I am wondering is does this mean that my build compiled correctly even though i have warnings like crazy in the 140000+ lines of the screen.log
as for the second question. Is there any easier eay to scan a screen.log for where the build errors are or do i just have to run through all the line blind because im not exactly sure what to look for yet (one day i plane to have more of an understanding this is just early in my rom building career.)
EDIT~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Okay new problem. When i originally synced my repo to cm11 i was on python 2.7.4 and thats how i tried the first build on this ubuntu and it failed. I updated to python 2.7.6 because every time i grabbed 2.7.5 i kept getting unsuspected End Of File errors. So I installed 2.7.6 with (sudo make install) instead of (sudo make altinstall) like some guides read (This is because when i used altinstall brunch always gets to waiting for unfinished jobs.)
What i was getting at was now that im on python 2.7.6 when i try to initialize another repo to another folder I receive this error.
fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error unknown url type: https

There are a ton of warnings, one error (failing to build modules, which you can ignore). The last thing printed is the path to the zip. If it printed that, the build completed successfully.
To find the errors, try searching from the end for Error (capital E).
@crpalmer
Yea I just found the zip its booting as we speak.
Thanks
So excited this is finally working I been messing with Ubuntu for like 2 weeks

I'm not expert so crpalmer or someone may be able to tell you more directly. But here is a few things:
Did you install SSL for python?
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0=1.0.1-4ubuntu5.3
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Try reinstalling Python. I installed it the simple way and its working fine for my builds.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install python
What repo were you trying to initialize?

It was every repo and I tried the normal way I must have started from a fresh Ubuntu install once every few days figuring out where I went wrong. I'm going to check on the ssl for Python. So far this is the furthest I've made it. One built cm11 rom and I'm only learning more every day I research

Im trying to make sure my precise repos are in place for apt-get however im still getting this message.
*update* Building successful. Help no longer needed,
Hello there
I'm currently attempting to built aospa and it keeps failing while loading settings for my phone d802 (lg g2) it claims the repo doesn't have information for this phone or manifests etc., I decided to look this up on the repo and discovered it only has d801 and d803, I figured not a problem so i set out to searching forms upon forums and google searches that just angered me more and more because either I was doing it wrong or it was just loading the wrong information,
I Finally gave in and decided to load the Proprietary_vendor_lge from muppets repo which includes d802, had to alter some file names with the pa_prefix and finally it starts the build process but then stops shortly after with cannot find config errors. I also tried this using my cm repo's lge device settings and this causes more errors than is good.
I decided to now start a fresh, new build environment with a fresh aospa 3+ repo sync for 4.4 android. and would like help on where to go from here, even if just suggestions on where I can look myself, what terms to use to do my own research or if you feel like giving the answer's please feel free.
In the past I've not had such issues but that results I guess from usually owning a nexus. (off topic)or the dreaded i9500 ubuntu errors that caused my system to overheat and die on compile(off topic)
I have setup a build environment in linux (ubuntu for ease of use) i decided this time to go with a pre-built one mentioned from the news page (in case of my own setup errors)
I have repo synced with aospa-legacy
I am awaiting further direction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* Update*
Fixed the problems,
In case interested, also please tell me if there was an easier way....
I repo sync'd with aospa-legacy,
I then oulled the d802 files from cm11 repo and copied into the device and vendor locations (as needed)
Then pulled the kernel for my device from cm11 repo and copied to the root under kernel
repo synced again and it filled in the gaps (not sure if this was needed)
got device proprietary files by linking phone and using ./extract-files from the d802 folder
then built the rom.
New error
no rule to make target vendor/lge/d802/proprietary/lib/libacdbloader.so
* Update * fixed libacdbloader.so by getting file from "TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge/d802/"
-----------------------------------------------------------
thanks
Thank you
Also please if in wrong section i tired to locate correct place
Added my spelling is flame worthy as is my grammar, please be lenient with this.

The screenshot is attached! Got this error after the download was complete!
Syncing work tree: 58% (268/462) error: in `sync -f`: revision refs/heads/cm-11.0 in CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base not found
Anyone has any idea what can be wrong? Or any solution?

it looks like you initialised your repo to 'refs/heads/cm-11.0' when it should just be 'cm-11.0' but I can't be 100% sure.
Try just 'repo sync' rather than 'repo sync -f'
is it the first time this has happened? Is it the first time you have done a repo sync?

I have tried that too -f gives some other error in fetching some project. I have deleted everything and restarted. I hope error will disappear. Its so huge download anyway. And yes, its my first time trying to get code. Wanted to start development.

It's good you're wanting to start developing! Maybe give it a day and try again, it may be a CM side problem.

Here in our country, internet connection is slow. It took like 3 days last time to sync all the code. I am doing it again. I'll keep in touch! I am very much hopeful I won't run into any problems this time. Thanks!

Found the issue. It had something to do with the file system. Some error occurred. A directory was not accessible neither could delete nor read. I checked the file system from windows. It was actually an NTFS drive. I mount it on Ubuntu. Then I was able to delete it and now started from scratch.
I wanted to ask if it is OK to use NTFS file system? Or it might cause some issues like if file names become very long or any other issue?

Hi everyone !
After spending a lot of time trying to fix this error while building AOSP lollipop 5.1.1, I found a "magic" solution, that I was unable to find on xda or stackoverflow. Thus, I want to share this "fix" with you today, because I realized that a lot of people were having the same trouble without finding any solution.
So, what's the problem ? You want to build AOSP lollipop 5.1.1 for your device, for me it was a Nexus 5 (hammerhead). This is what should be done :
- repo sync google source
- download Nexus 5 binaries
- execute extract-*.sh files so that binaries are extracted
- source build/envsetup.sh
- lunch and select aosp_hammerhead
- make updatepackage -j# (# corresponding to the maximum number of jobs, according to your CPU)
Yet, after doing lunch, no include was done while doing "make". Therefore, there were lots of errors like "no rule to make target mkbootimg".
Then, I realized the problem was the "lunch" command. So, I opened a new terminal, and I only did the "source build/envsetup.sh" without the lunch, and then I exported the target like that :
> export TARGET_PRODUCT=aosp_hammerhead
And thanks to that, make udpatepackage worked !
Last tip, if you get some weird compiling error, after loosing your mind trying to find the solution, close your terminal, open a new one, source build/envsetup.sh and re-make again. Sometimes it does the work, don't ask me why
That's it ! Hope it helps =)
PS : Sorry if my English is bad
Thanks, bro... U saved my day
