[Q] AOSP Builds keep freezing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I'm currently in the process of building AOSP to just flash a basic image onto a Nexus 7.
I've done the "repo sync" to get all the relative files, and have initialized the build environment exactly as the tutorials on the Android development site asks, including downloading proprietary drivers, however whenever i'm trying to do my first "make", it either gives me an error saying a random make file received a kill signal, or my machine just freezes.
As of writing this a build has been going for 7 hours (Is this normal?) and the machine just freezes up.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, i'm unsure of how to try and fix what's happening

Build PA for M7ul -> permanently reboots

Hi there,
trying myself on compiling my "own" PA Build for my HTC one.
Basically i found everything i needed and get the build completed.
Compared to the builds from @slick_rick, my look very similar.
But after installing the rom on my One it reboots after a couple of seconds while updating the apps.
So i wiped the one and tried again. I could select the language and hit next. Again reboot.
Already switched from BBQ Linux to Ubuntu, but the problem stayed the same
Any help is appreciated. Maybe someone can point me a direction where to find somekind of logfile,as adb does not seem to be activated that early after device boot/initial setup.

Android Logs for finding boot issues

Hey guys,
I was wondering what kind of logging the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 does and how can I access it.
I found some logs once; but I can't seem to get back to the the menu. Only the recovery menu button combo {down volume, home, power}
Also I could not figure out how to copy those logs off the device.
Really want to have the ability to get to those logs even if the device is crapping out. Any one have any ideas?
Verizon Samsng S4 on Android 5.0.1 (LRX22C)
some back story:
I have Maas360 and a Kiosk policy applied to about 70 devices. Some have been getting stuck in a loop; phone restarts for no reason, stays up for about a minute than reboot.
So I figured I had pushed out a bad policy. I made a new policy minus the changes that correlated to the reboot loops and things seemed to be ok.
Since the phone wouldn't stay on the network long enough to grab the command to remove the bad policy, I wiped the phones with Samsung Kies firmware updater.
But now some of the phones I wiped are back to the reboot loop. Maas360 wasn't a whole lot of help, but since it doesn't stay on long enough i doubt they have any logs either.
thanks guys

"Adb logcat" is definetely what you are looking for:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238
It is basically kernel output.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567955
If you are on Ubuntu, you can get the latest version with
Apt-get install android-tools-adb.
That works with my S5.

Wikipad 7 Stuck in Setup Wizard Loop (More Info In Thread).

I have recently purchased a Wikipad 7 tablet and have been using it for a few weeks. I rooted the tablet using KingoRoot and the root was successful. Using a app included with the root called Superuser I deleted some system files I considered safe to do so in order to speed up the tablet and free up some space and the tablet worked fine after doing so. A couple of days later, I decided to perform a factory reset in order to get rid of multiple large files I had downloaded but could not have the effort to find. The reset went as normal until I tried connecting to wifi in the setup wizard. A screen showing 'Connecting to wifi' appears for some time before the message 'Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.' appears and I'm taken back the first screen where I have to choose my language. I have tried multiple times to connect to wifi successfully but to no avail. I have tried things such as turning off the router in order to bypass the process but the screen that appears after skipping wifi configuration (the one which asks permission to let google access your location) shows the same message after tapping on the left or right arrows located at the bottom to let me proceed through the setup or go back.
I have tried to search the internet for a solution to this problem, but the solutions were unexpectedly complicated for me to get around as I not understand some of the terminology used and the steps to fixing the problem seem to be specifically for one kind of device.
If anybody could have any knowledge on how to solve this problem then help would be greatly appreciated. It would be preferable if the method to fixing this problem would be as simple as possible to perform and understand. If you would like any additional information regarding the tablet in order to help with solving the problem, please to not hesitate to ask as I will provide all I can.
Yet again, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

ADB doesn't work on custom rom?!

Today I build my first (working) android rom based on CM.
When booted up the process com.android.phone keeps on crashing every second or something, I tried to use adb logcat but it keeps waiting for a device.
In the windows device manager I don't see a new device and when connecting over the network I get an error: protocol fault (status read)
Any suggestions at what it could be?
The rom that is currently running has been continued from where it errored out, I am rebuilding it now.
I will keep you up-to-date
Thanks,
Tim

Need help please

Hello there.
I got a BP-2 from a friend, which runs on Lollipop 5.1 with a baseband .2.0.2.ci-00017-M8935FAAANUZM-1.
The Model Name is unknown and so it the build number. Certain built-in apps in the phone simply does not work and some android features such as accessibility option or date and time option, when clicked just closes down the settings tab. Moreover, the phone also has issues connecting to PC and Wifi.
Before posting my request, i did all available options to upgrade the rom to latest available on forums. I was able to flash original recoveries and TWRP. I could use ADB and Fastflash tools to experiment sideload options. Nothing seemed to have worked for me. In almost all attempts, the progress just stops at "Patching system image unconditionally......" indefinitely.
I have also tried for days to get past the issue but my bad.
I will really really appreciate, if someone can give me an idea here on what possibly could be the problem and how to address it. Once again, I am thankful to the immense help i am getting from respected gurus here.
Thanks
