Is it possible to build an R rom on 8gb of ram
Silence is golden around here.
Honestly, have you utilised your free Google cloud credits?
See this guide if you haven't.

And if you don't want that, you could still code / build android apps (at least on linux. Windows with 4gb of ram barely opens the IDE).
Hmm

I'm not talking about building a rom. I would like to do that but my computer wouldn't make it.
Android apps can be build with 4gb ram on linux (They shouldn't be too big, though since 4gb is 4gb after all...).
Send thread wen?

I have made a build environment in VMWare. I have added all necessary programs to the Gnome menu. I spent a good 6 hours on making this and compressing this.
Before you use the VMWare image change RAM and CPU to your needings. I suggest at least 2GB RAM and 2 cores assigned for decent performance.
I have also enabled 3D acceleration for OpenGL developers or those who want to try making games.
Requirements
VMWare Player (FREE)
VMWare Workstation (optional, paid)
Features
- Everything is installed:
- Android SDK Tools
- Eclipse
- Android AOSP ready: tested with Jelly Bean
- CyanogenMod ready: tested with CyanogenMod 10 and later
- Developer links in Firefox to CyanogenMod and Android AOSP.

Can you upload on a mirror?
- No it takes too much time and bandwidth. I don't have the money to buy extra bandwidth.
Passwords?
- All passwords are: 'root'
Looks awesome! I just finished downloading it.. But whats the passwords? For the user anddev and root.

I would highly recommend each user and ESPECIALLY new users go through the process of setting up and configuring their own development environment. You will gain a lot of understanding on how Linux and thus Android operates by working with it yourself, and this really is important. This is great for a experienced dev who wants to have a backup of his own environment, but I think it's just adding one more crutch that the newbies really won't understand.
Password is 'root'
I thought this was a nice and obvious password to use. Sorry for letting you wait.

It's much more stable using VMWare. Many systems have trouble downloading the source code. Virtual Box gets the 'HTTPS ... not received' errors. Honestly I don't know how to say the error accurately because I simply skipped Virtual Box due to that issue

These issues are simple configuration mishaps and can be fixed easily. Nat tends to do this, I use a bridged nic. There are also a few kernel values you modify to fix any "download errors". I have never experienced any issues like you are suggesting using virtual box.

Kernel Source
Hi,
I'm new to android development.
I know that every ROM will have a Linux kernel, but where does this kernel come from?
I googled it, but I still can't figure it out.
I'll just take a wild guess.
Is it from
1. The source that you git from? (Ex: AOSP, CM10, AOKP)
2. The kernel of the Linux OS? (Ex: This VM's Linux kernel)
and by the way, am I able to change the kernel myself? (Ex: 2.6.35 to 3.0.8)
Thanks!

You get the kernel source from your device manufacturer.

Don't have a mirror, but why don't you just download a Linux ISO and set it up for yourself? Should be smaller downloads the whole way, everything will be up to date, and you'll get invaluable learning experience.:

hey guys, im good java programmer but i dont have any idea about android
so i was wondering what are the benefits of learning android developments?
, will it be easy since i'm good java programmmer?
if that idea is good then what android books do you guys recommend for me?
I've seen Android (presumably honeycomb) running on notebook computers alongside windows 7 or vista basic, and now that I've freed my second partition I'd like to try either android our ubunto on it, and if JB our ICS are possible I'd love that since I love JB on the phone.
I run I3 with 4gb ram on an acer aspire.
is there any way to do this?
cheers, D

Nice one mate Trying now
As long as it is a 64 bit system It should work. Won't work on 32 bit system
Batcom2
There wasn't a version that was compatible with my laptop afaik , I'm fairly noob though.
I installed Ubuntu on the dual boot instead in the end as it looks potentially amazing even if simple things like wine or Skype Dont work (apparently this awesome style interface broke compatibility with many apps?)
I'd never tried Linux before so its an experience , and android is loosely based in a Linux kernel right?
Looking forward to the Ubuntu mobile os now

Title says all. Comment with something under here if you have a GP 4.2. I'm making a ROM for it but, due to my network speed (slooooow), I want to know how many users will download it. Thanks in advance!
PS. If you know other users that have this Player tag their names into your reply!
I have one, but I've since replaced with with the 5 inch model. I still use it on occasion to test apps and things.
I have one, so does @SerkTheTurk @lets_zock and @ChaosChris
Sad that this is a very unsupported device (both by Samsung and developers)
No. I have not it. I leaved it to the samsung center with the latest hard brick. For now i only have a note 1 but i want to sell it to buy an iPhone 4 or a SGS 3.

I only have some questions:
1) Is it true that I need to have a 64 bit CPU? If yes, I have not, but in a VM is it possible to have it?...
2) What Linux OS is the best to get a fast compilation time? (My VM: 2Core, 1.5GB Ram, HDD USB 2.0 to host it (only used for the VM), 128GB of virtual HDD)
3) With Mint 15 64bit VirtualBox crashes on boot, is this a problem of the "64bit" version or is a problem of the small quantity of RAM?
I have it! It will be really, really, really great to have a new ROM, since we've got a few numbers of developers for this device. A CM7 or CM9 ROM, like u said u're going to try to do, would be really great for future developers and a future Jelly Bean ROM. ( Nowadays, I'm using ChaOS ROM v1 + S3 Modpack made by @ChaosChris )

1)I believe you can build CM7 with a 32 bit OS (that requires only a 32bit processor) but for CM9 onwards you need a 64 bit version of Linux (which requires a 64 bit processor)
2)You can use Ubuntu 10.04 (as recommended on the official Android developers website) for maximum compatibility and less compilation errors.
3)Yup, you cant use 64 bit OS'es on 32 bit processors, neither with VMs nor by actually installing it on another partition.

1) So for 3 or 4 years (I haven't enough money for a new pc and my parents will never buy another one only because "the cpu can work with the double number of bit in the same time" (Yes, my father were born with the "linux inside" signature, but with a 16/32bit brain))
2) Ok, I'll try
3) Damn!
4) With this post I can now post in the dev section! So when I'll fixed all bugs with current rom I will open a thread for it! Thanks!

I think you can compile cm7 with 32 bit Ubuntu because AFAIK, @SerkTheTurk has a 32 bit CPU (intel centrino) but he has compiled CM7 (though not booting ) successfully for our device...so you can try

Ah. I will try. Thanks! For now with my rom I am at the same point of 3 days ago. Bootloop, bootloop and more bootloop. I think that I will restart from 0 adding one feature every flash and then when I will have enough features and stability I will relase it.
I have it, I love it and I heavily use it everyday... I hope this device can get more support, but it's wishful thinking...

Great idea! Building a ROM in this way would be really useful to have more knowledge about what you're doing. This will help you to, if there is an error, find out exactly where it is, so you can fix it. Good thinking. Good look, maybe we finally got a sucessful CM7.
I am talking about my modded stock based rom... the cm one will wait because i need to fix some errors with the vm.

lol Got it. Will you try to develop themes for your custom ROM?
Yes. But not now. I'll make themes after I have modded all the Rom because if I mod a part of the rom i need to mod all themes so when i end the modding-time i will start with all done and the theming process will be more faster.

Hi
Maybe it's a stupid question, but I have thid doubt. I have bought a new ssd 250gb for my laptop and I have to partion it.
I want create a dualboot system Window 8.1 + Ubuntu to learn to develop kernel and android rom.
Oh my lapton I will install a second mechanical hard disk (500gb) where I will put photo and data .
My doubt is : how much space is recommended for develop Android kernel and Roms ?
I have thought to give 220gb to window and the rest to Ubuntu and use the second mechanical hardisk to put the rom and kernel source.
Do you have any suggestion or advice to give me ? Tomorrow I would install the new hard disk and I think all of you are the best people to ask

It's up to you. If you want use CCACHE, you need more space.
It is advised to have about 100gb set aside to build. With source code expanding every day you will always want to have extra.

Thank you so much. I do not have that much space on my Mac currently. So to confirm, if I disable CCache, 90GB should suffice right?
The only downside from what I read would be that it will compile every time so the build will be slow. Is that correct?

Ok lol
does anyone know how to modify the stock os file running 32 to 64 bit please help? because there is no android version that supports 64bit released by samsung, so it has to be customized, i just need how and where to customize the latest rom version. The help is to install android with 64bit support when there is no version released by the manufacturer which is a silly answer. I think 64bit support but running on 32bit makes the phone run faster and svae batery, and 64bit on that phone may slow down your phone and only using some 64bit apps can be smooth. As for 64bit applications that require powerful processing, even if you can install them, you will have problems with lag and overload
