[HELP]ROM build successful but very small zip package - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello developers,
Please help me.
I am compiling Resurrection Remix Pie ROM for Samsung Galaxy Grand (GT-I9082). The build completed successfully but the ROM zip is very small in size(~45mb). So I think I'm doing something wrong. I suspect that the apps are not compiled with the ROM and I think it(the compiled zip) only has the minimum stuff. The command I issued was "brunch i9082". I read somewhere that adding full- to the make command compiles the rom with the apps included. But when I give the command "make full-rr_i9082-userdebug", "make full-i9082-userdebug" or "make full_i9082-userdebug" as well as all other combinations...(even with aosp_arm-) I always get the invalid device error.
What should I do to compile the complete ROM.
Hoping you would help me.
If you want me to attach anything or want more information...please let me know!!
With Regards,
Shamil

Come on guys.... Somebody please help me!!

VM env. for Stock ROM and Mod

Hi,
I'm currently woring on creating a complete VM and a document with instraction of getting from compile to flahsing from begining.
The complete enviroment will be set and ready with the Stock ROM (currently targeting 4.0.2.A.0.58) and the Android OS.
This will allow users to be able to take this VM and start right a away to change the Stock ROM and integrate changes for that from other modes.
will update this thread when it's done. and links for download (unless someone will be faster the me )
18/12 Update:
Just now finish creating an working and compiling enviroment with 2.3.4_r1 of Android
now working on making it to work with the Sony Ericson source code...

Hi,
I need a little help here... i have followed the steps in Google:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
and also the Journal:
http://journal.tianhao.info/2010/12/compile-android-gingerbread-on-ubuntu-10-10/
i have compiled the code and got it up and running and also in emulator with the command line that was written in the Journal and the Android is working..
now i try to understand the Sony Ericson guide:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
I have downloaded the ARM cross-compiler and installed it, was really bad instructions on how to install it. but just need to run: sh ./the_downloaded.bin
and installed it correctly
after installing the ARM cross-compiler successfully done a make to the kernel but only after fixing the symbolic link that from some reason was attach to 0x86 arch and not arm.
the paths where different since i used the default installer path and match the same version that they used: 2010q1
so first done this for the .config :
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then run the make:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now i got kernel compiled!
the question is:
i know that with the Android compiling i got 3 files in the /source_android/out/target/product/generic:
1. ramdisk.img
2. system.img
3. userdata.img
do i need to use the ramdisk from the Android for the next steps of SE guide ?
1. Getting a RAM disk and extract it
2. Re-package it with all of the kernel of SE that we just compiled
3. Assembling the boot.img using the mkbootimg
moreover, after i assemble the files i want to make a really clean installation and cleaning all the flash and installing all in a vanilla mod.
what should be the next steps ?
Regards,
LaBBa.
I thought that the community here will help in this small matter so we will have more pepole that could join the efforts of making brtter and cooller roms... I guess I was wrong. All I wanted to do is help the dev community and create the full step by step guide to starting developers in the android world....
Sadly I'm forced to end this thread due to lake of knowledge...

im sorry i would help but i dont know much lol srry no one that knew could or would help
hi,
I hope that you are able to get this working.
i will use it when it is finished
Edit: what have you exactly done?
Maybe i can help
all i wanted to do is to download all the source codes and compile it and then creat the same version (for this case the .58) manually and get to the same images that need to be flahed.
i wanted to create from this a complete tut that others that have allot of knowladge in development could start working without the stragling of setting up an eviroment or all the issues about how to get from compiling to acctuall creating an .img to flash it on your device.
just a simple "out of the box" solution so pepole could get and work right a way without wasting time in assembling the source codes and setting then env.
ok, and where are you?
I mean what have you done for now??
please see the second post.. it's all there..
yes you need that ramdisk for the kernel.
but you need to edit the ramdisk to work with the xperia play.
i can do that, can you upload it??
what i'm going to do now is, i'm going to upload all the VM to the web and write the complete tutrial for all the steps i have done so far and then we could continue. thank you for trying to help!
ok,
if you need some help PM me!

[Q] Is it possible to build kernel with cygwin?

Dear devs, is it possible to build kernel like new Amin or Scritch based somehow with cygwin?
Because i tryed yesterday and gives error`s and i am totally new too building and i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686310
the only part which i dont have in that is the adb pull /proc/config.gz because we dont have that file in our proc folder in the cm10based roms.
And used the make semc_es209ra_defconfig which gave errors about main.o file afterwards i tryed the semc_es209ra_capk_defconfig which turned out the same... What am i doing wrong here. I hope someone like Amin or Scritch can make a guide for the kernels like every step they do that would be realy awsome. I found many differnt ways on google but i am unsure now how to do it now. Because in mind i now we use kernel.sin or zImage and maybe those guide is for .img or something. I hope someone can give a nice detailed guide on this. Because i want to try eventualy to help the community to test new thing or port or something like that.

REVOLT ROM Building HELP!!!

hi
i am trying to build REVOLT ROM (the Jb 4.2 version for now) from source for my device - Xperia LWW (WT19i/coconut)...nd i am using UBUNTU 12.04 LTS 64-bit environment...
i am facing an Error during the final ROM.zip creation...so i request:fingers-crossed: any1 with knowledge on ROM building or anything...to help me solve the Error wich iv'e posted here... http://pastebin.com/gqzphg4f
The ROM works fine from the emulator as is obvious from the screenshots i've attached below...
ABOUT THE ERROR (what i know/got to know from others) :
its something wich is got to do with the ota packaging file which is not compatible with coconut source
the --no_assert parameter in the Revolt Rom's Script is causing the error...
the file(python script) wich contains the above mentioned parameter is here... https://github.com/ReVolt-ROM/andro...ba29/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files or http://pastebin.com/zmi6zN9X
( location of this file on my PC - mydir/build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files )
the file(python script) in wich the above mentioned parameter is checked for, is here... https://github.com/LegacyXperia/and...-10.2/releasetools/semc_ota_from_target_files or http://pastebin.com/7VC38Cxx
( location of this file on my PC - mydir/device/semc/msm7x30-common/releasetools/semc_ota_from_target_files )
the --no_assert parameter required by the "ota_from_target_files" script checks for the parameter in my device's script "semc_ota_from_target_files" but as it does not occur in my device's script the error occurs nd the build stops...
WHAT I HAV TRIED:
i hav tried commenting out (inserting a '#' infront of the line to make it unexecutable by making it as a comment) all the occurences of the parameter in the "ota_from_target_files" script but it was in vain as i got the same error again:crying:
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG ANYWHERE...
PLS PLS DO HELP ME ON WHAT SHUD I DO TO SOLVE THE ERROR??

sorry my bad...i v'e reported the thread (but somebody already reported it)...hope the moderator moves it...
Why don't you just use a file from XperiaLegacy and remove the assert check manually (if it's necessary, of course)?
Where are the device trees you are using ? I want to check the sources ...
Update : Now I can see it .......
Try checking the device tree you use in that file and compare it with a similar device ...
I don't build for that device so am not fully aware of it ..

Problem when trying to build Android from source

Sorry if it is in wrong section but...
I have got a problem and I can't find a solotion for it. I have a Xperia Z Ultra and I am trying to build AOSP Android using the guide Sony provided, but when I hit "make" it gives me an error that I have wrong java version, it looks like this (pic in attachment). I have tried different versions, added them to PATH but it still isn't working properly. Could any of you guys help a 15 yo student to learn that things? Thanks in advance!

I would recommend checking out the first step of this guide here on compiling AOSP that deals with setting up JDK specifically it recommends using Open JDK 7 instead. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance in solving your problem.
Okay thanks a lot, I have managed to do it yesterday but now I'm stuck with compiling, it gives me an error when I try to build it, some conflicts in libnfc-nci, trying to cherry-pick some needed fixes also succeed in error, I'll do a screenshot when I come back from school but again, many thanks
Regards
Okay, now when I try to compile I have some errors, when I do repo sync it tells me at the end that some files need to be merged, like in pic 1. When I try to compile it gives me an error that a separator is missing in a file, like in pic 2. And when i try to cherry-pick the fixes (as in pic 3) it throws me another error, as in pic 4. My main question is: how could I merge files and what is it? Thanks in advance!
