Wonderfull tuto by mylove : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276481
There is also one in all badadroid thread, but some links are dead (you have to use their manifest.xml though)
You need : linux 64 bit=>64bit processor (all recent pc have it) (Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit work great)
Some 30Gb on your hard drive (there is 10 Gb to download for whole sources, less for kernel only, and lot of space for /out)
Patience, and knowing code

all recent pc have it

In theory... if you have only old Hardware for tests...
I need workaround for 32 bit...
Thanx.

Compile the compiler, smart
And another,maybe less easy https://github.com/yath/android_prebuilts_gcc_linux-x86-32_arm_arm-linux-androideabi-4.6

Hey benzoX
Step 3 : Preparing Repo
-Run these commands (each line is a command)
erorr not found link >> https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > repo
Please give me a new link

TIME TO MOVE ON
i wil be on xperia section
i am happy that i could help this section
Best Regards, Happy Cookling and Programing!
Hy all
I started this tread because the interest to android is growing
I invite all people with linux knowledge or C programing skills to join
If you know some hardware programing is better
We need
- developpers
- testers
i will not post an guide how to setup the compiler and set variables
if you dont know this stuff please stick to Google Android thread and dont post here stupid questions as IT IS READY / WHEN WILL IT BE READY
WE DO THIS IN OUR SPARE TIME AND WE HAVE FAMILY AND LIFE
So shell we invite the penguin to our phones?

Build Instructions for the ones that want to help
- Create working dir:
Code:
mkdir ~/android-kernel
- Go to the dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel
- Clone the Linuxtogo GIT:
Code:
git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git
- Go into newly created dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel/kernel
- Create a new branch, call it htc-msm and link it to the official htc-msm development branch:
Code:
- Descend into the "main" android dir:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel
- Get toolchain:
Code:
wget http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_too...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- maybe you need to rename the just downloaded file (because after .tar.bz2 wget has added ?lite=arm). (HINT FOR LINUX-NEWBIES: USE TAB TO COMPLETE KNOWN FILENAMES!! - In this case type: mv arm(TAB) arm(TAB) -> backspace till 'bz2' is the last word)
Code:
mv arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2\?lite\=arm arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- unpack the toolchain:
Code:
tar -xjf arm-2008q1-126-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
- ascend again into the 'kernel' directory:
Code:
cd ~/android-kernel/kernel
- make the kernel:
Code:
git checkout -b htc-vogue origin/htc-vogue
You also have to use
Code:
make vogue_defconfig ARCH=arm
- export path so the newly downloaded toolchain will be used instead of your default compiler (which would compile for your computer instead of your phone):
Code:
export PATH=~/android-kernel/arm-2008q1/bin:$PATH
- make the zImage-file:
Code:
make zImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
Now the zImage file is created inside the directory kernel/arch/arm/boot.
When uploading this to your phone, remember that you only have to replace the zImage after each kernel build - the Linux environment on top of the kernel can just stay the same, so initrd (which is the ramdisk filesystem) can stay the same.

when this kernel probelms will be solved i will release the new kernel

I have knowledge of both C and linux so I vollunteer

hi,
i can be a tester... also i have some little linux knowledge...

I have limited knowledge of both c and linux, so I possibly could help.
It seems useful however to setup an SVN or something, so even 'non-registered' developers can write patches and submit them for review. You can set up such an SVN for free at assembla.com, together with a wiki, TRAC and more. They even say you can ask for more storage space and stuff if your project is an open-source project.
If you have such an SVN developers like me can help without making any false promises of some sort.
I hope you know what I mean, it sounded better in my head

i know linux and i can do beta tester. i'm studying engineering too.

i also know linux and a bit of C...i can do testing too.

as you already know, I'm in too for development...

i will try the new kernel asap...

I tried this kernel and indeed, the keypad works on mine!
(touched the TS though, just because you said I wasn't allowed ) It froze, so reboot...

I believe by the end of this year or somewhere in the beginning of 2009 Google is making a system for creating software input methods, which would theoretically allow us to write an application that would reroute direct hardware input. I think. We'll have to see what the future will (or the talented developers here) bring.

man, awesome!!! good job, jerpelea. keys work great!!

Jerpelea: Why do you want Ubuntu as dev os? I'm using OpenSuSE and am able to build the kernel.
I am thinking (since 2 weeks) to try Ubuntu again (used to use it), but may take while before I get to it...

I wish to become a developer for our O1's!

Hi guys, I would like to ask you what IDE's and other software I need to make and modify android roms. I am particularly looking at helping with ICS production. I know java and some C++ if this helps, I am unsure of what to use whether that be eclipse or some other IDE/SDk. Also there are a few file types I am unfamiliar with and want to know how to edit those such as .so's and other files. Thanks P500 community you guys are awesome D

If you haven't already, I'd highly reccomend setting up a build environment and trying to sync the cm repos. Once you have the code, you can play around and see what you need from there, in terms of an IDE.

Fantastic, I shall get onto that right away.

Read some android books.you already know c++ and Java so you will become good dev.
For playing with code you need.
Ubuntu.
Notepad.
sdk & adb.
And this "good luck!"

Yeah! Actually even i am interested in learning.
I know c/c++. No java yet
I'll be finishing my exams on the 3rd of may and would have around 2 months of vacations to learn
So guidance would really be appreciated. Do we need a separate sdk for linux based os? I have sdk on windows, isnt that enough?
What is the advantage of using linux for android development? I have backtrack(ubuntu based) on vmware. Will it do?

Essential Software:
Ubuntu 11.10 (dual boot not virtual machine, it's too slow)
Eclipse IDE with the Android plugins
Meld (for easy directory compares)
Mastery of the terminal especially git / repo commands
Github account
CyanogenMod gerrit account
Google Plus account
I'm assuming you're coming from Windows since you don't know what a .so file is (like I did when starting). .so files are android's versions of .dll files. 'executables' don't have a file extension. Kernel modules use the .ko extension.
(I think .so means shared object, .ko means kernel object. Makes sense to me anyway )
The worst thing about starting is simply the sheer size of the project, it is a whole operating system we are dealing with here!
Start simple and easy, follow the instructions on how to make your own build and flash it. (and feel proud you have your own build string in about phone!) Then do it again without the instructions. (harder than it sounds )
The programming side may not be such a problem for you if you already know it. I didn't know anything. reading library files written in c++ ain't so bad, but getting used to how an android app is written in java was a huge mindf**k for me at first.It still is actually
I'm really just your average code hacker, I just hack based on educated guesses but I have taken copious notes on what I do and how things work. Seriously, I have two A5 notebooks full of lists, commands, file locations, diagrams and other tips I've found over the past 6 months.
Prepare to read a lot, be confused a lot, say WTF?!?!?! a lot, delighted when you make your first changes and they work, a ton of waiting for builds to finish and perhaps a bit nervous when you are ready to submit your first commit to CyanogenMod...

Can't we practice on something less taxing than the the whole cyanogenmod, like maybe some prebuilt system apps?
I have allocated 2.9gb of ram and enough cpu to my vm for it to run smoothly so speed isn't really an issue here
Will backtrack do or would ubuntu be better(backtrack is a network security related os based on ubuntu only)
And how important is java. I have two months of almost pure vacations(just have to make a project) so time wont be much of an issue and i'll anyway be doing java in a year or two at college so starting now wont be any harm.
BTW just curious why is g+ account an essentiality here?
Edit
Oh and yeah ill be switching from win to linux and that IS going to be a pretty big problem :/
I don't even properly know what a kernel is and what it does.
Edit2
Iv added you to my circles adfad please add me.

These guides could help!

I think it can't know I've added another device. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? I'm sure it's something pretty stupid...
P.S. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10
EDIT: Ok, I think I've done something wrong syncing androidmeda sources.
What I've done is:
Code:
[email protected]:~$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ repo init -u git://github.com/androidmeda/cm_device_lge_p500.git
repo initialized in /home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY
[email protected]:~/WORKING_DIRECTORY$ repo sync
Fetching projects: 100% (248/248), done.
Syncing work tree: 100% (248/248), done.
I've done this for git://github.com/androidmeda/cm_vendor_lge_p500.git and git://github.com/androidmeda/lge-kernel-msm7x27.git too. I can't see them though.
Solved the problem. Cloned androidmeda's device folder into device/lge/p500
EDIT2: FINALLY COMPILING!
EDIT3:
Code:
make: *** Nessuna regola per generare l'obiettivo "device/lge/p500/init.p500.usb.rc
It's 'No rule to make target'. I don't know what to do, I can't even find that file, but I've got a file called init.thunderg.usb.rc
Solved renaming init.thunderg.usb.rc to init.p500.usb.rc. It's compiling now

I'm assuming you're coming from Windows since you don't know what a .so file is (like I did when starting). .so files are android's versions of .dll files. 'executables' don't have a file extension. Kernel modules use the .ko extension.
(I think .so means shared object, .ko means kernel object. Makes sense to me anyway )
The worst thing about starting is simply the sheer size of the project, it is a whole operating system we are dealing with here!
Start simple and easy, follow the instructions on how to make your own build and flash it. (and feel proud you have your own build string in about phone!) Then do it again without the instructions. (harder than it sounds )
The programming side may not be such a problem for you if you already know it. I didn't know anything. reading library files written in c++ ain't so bad, but getting used to how an android app is written in java was a huge mindf**k for me at first.It still is actually
I'm really just your average code hacker, I just hack based on educated guesses but I have taken copious notes on what I do and how things work. Seriously, I have two A5 notebooks full of lists, commands, file locations, diagrams and other tips I've found over the past 6 months.
Prepare to read a lot, be confused a lot, say WTF?!?!?! a lot, delighted when you make your first changes and they work, a ton of waiting for builds to finish and perhaps a bit nervous when you are ready to submit your first commit to CyanogenMod...

Thanks man Your work has really inspired me and yes haha I am moving from windows all though I have had some experience with ubuntu before. It makes sense about the extensions. Thanks for your advice Will ask questions if I need to

I'm having problems compiling using make -j4
Code:
make -C kernel/lge/p500 O=/home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY/out/target/product/p500/obj/KERNEL_OBJ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- cyanogenmod_p500_defconfig
make[1]: ingresso nella directory "/home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY/kernel/lge/p500"
make[1]: *** Nessuna regola per generare l'obiettivo "cyanogenmod_p500_defconfig". Arresto.
make[1]: uscita dalla directory "/home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY/kernel/lge/p500"
make: *** [/home/francesco/WORKING_DIRECTORY/out/target/product/p500/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/.config] Errore 2
make: *** Attesa per i processi non terminati....
'No rule to make target "cyanogenmod_p500_defconfig". Stop'
Any idea?
When I've used make -i I haven't had this problem
EDIT: Solved moving cyanogenmod_p500_defconfig in p500 folder
Ok, I'm trying to tidy up everything a bit. I've noticed there is a new github. I've seen this:
Code:
LG P500 ICS Setup
Copy/paste it WORKING_DIR/.repo/local_manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="device/lge/p500" name="p500/cm_device_lge_p500" remote="github" revision="master" />
<project path="vendor/lge/p500" name="p500/cm_vendor_lge_p500" remote="github" revision="master" />
<project path="kernel/lge/p500" name="p500/lge-kernel-msm7x27" remote="github" revision="android-ics-msm-2.6.35" />
</manifest>
I have no local_manifest.xml. Do I have to create it? Or do I have to add these three lines to manifest.xml (which is in .repo folder)? And do I have to add toolchain too?

Question: if installing Ubuntu with wubi on Windows XP, will it show the dual-boot screen on every boot?(or else what shortcut?)
And does it need to defragment, or is it safe just like that?

No idea, never tried.
If you understand anything:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_(Ubuntu)
Why dont you use vmware instead?
Now someone help me with this:
Whenever i try to recompile the framework-res.apk(pasquale test)(even without editing) i get this error:
What can i do about it?

VM got me an error when installing saying it is incompatible with win xp (I could install, but didn't wanna risk, windows is harder to recover than Android)

try using virtual box.

yea I did that... but did anyone try it on XP, it says it failed incompatibility tests or something (same error I got when trying to install windows 7 video drivers on xp) and I don't wanna risk, anyone?

I don't think it's good to install ubuntu to compile android in a virtual machine, I think the compilation would be too slow. I'm sorry I can't help you, I've installed ubuntu from a Live CD and I didn't have many problems with the installation process.
BTW, added the three lines to manifest.xml synced repo. It's compiling well using make -j4

if you have enough ram and a good enough processor there shouldnt be any problem in using a virtual machine. i use backtrack with 2.9/4gb ram and am able to use both windows7 and backtrack simultaneously without any problems/lag
I have an i5 2.3-2.9GHz

Sure it depends on what you want to compile. It was just a suggestion to compile faster. You probably won't notice lag, but it will take more to compile everything.

extract kdz from e425/430/435 (lg l3 II)

Hello i have try the kdzextractor (source compiled for linux) but the python script say error about header. Any chanche for add or mod the kdzextractorz source for that ? http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=22

[Guide][Noob-Friendly]Building Kernel For Lenovo A6000/+

Building A Kernel For A6k
Hello Folks, Looks like A6000 Forums Are On Fire So Now I AM HErE TO POuR Oil In The FIRE
Lets Get Straight To The POint
This Guide Will Help you build a kernel for our little Precious One
Requirements:
Ubuntu[DOnt Ask How]
Required Libs like libncurses, and stuff [If you face any such error realted to libs, just google Once]
Good Internet
AT least 2GB RAM and a good processor
A bit of your time
Patience and brain
Steps:
1) Create A folder anywhere with any name you want and open it
2) Open terminal in that folder and Run This COmmand Which will install all required Libs
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2
3)After It gets done now we need a toolchain so now type " mkdir kernel" and "cd kernel" without quotes
4) Now we will dload toolchain so first install GIT and GCC libs for ex
"sudo apt get-install git"
Now Run This to clone the toolchain
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8
5)After toolchain gets downloaded now we need kernel sources, to simplify it clone the sources from my GIT using this command in terminal
Code:
git clone https://github.com/varunhardgamer/kernel_lenovo_a6000.git
6)After Dloading kernel sources open the kernel sources folder which may have name Semar Kernel or something like that and open BuildingKernel.txt and understand the way you need to edit Build.sh
Its not hard you just need to type the address to your kernel folder which you made
7)Now type
Code:
make ARCH=arm
and press enter
8)Then RUn
Code:
make wt86518_defconfig
9)THen Run
Code:
make menuconfig
and a popup will appear showing you all the tweaks that can be included in the kernel, select accordingly and save it
10)After you Finish tweaking it, open build.sh and edit it acordingly and then run the script by " .build.sh " in the terminal and wait till you get the zimage which is the kernel
8)Now download semar kernel r5zip and push your zimage inside it and flash your first Kernel
COmment here if you face any Errrors

The source you have mentioned isnt the proper source for Kernel and is Limpy when it comes to New stuff support better you link them to this repo :- https://github.com/dev-harsh1998/android_kernel_lenovo_msm8916
and GCC-4.7 is old and has regression bugs Better use gcc-4.8

WIll thanks Tomorrow

You need to edit build.sh
Change -j64 to -j4 or it'll mess up for everyone.

Welcome. Keep up the good work. :good:

Lol, just rechecked your git.
The kernel will not compile. You need to define the toolchain.

I myself used this method and compiled a kernel
And for toolchain
I already mentioned
export cross_compile in .sh
