0. Preparation
Things you need for building:
A computer
An internet connection
An open mind
Time
Patience
First of all you need a running up-to-date Ubuntu/Linux system. I am using Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL EVERYTHING AS A NORMAL USER. DON'T INSTALL AS ROOT!
I. Installation of the required packages (Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils schedtool pngcrush xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Set the links:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
II. Installing JAVA
You need a Java Development Kit for building CM10. Recommended is the SUN JDK 6. As of writing the most recent version is SUN JDK 6 Update 38.
1. Download the jdk-6u38-linux-i586.bin from the Oracle/Sun Java Download Area. If you are on 64-bit Ubuntu as I am, you should grab jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin.
2. Make the bin file executable:
Code:
$ chmod +x jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
3. Extract the bin file:
Code:
$ ./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
4. Move the extracted folder to this this location:
Code:
$ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_38 /usr/lib/jvm/./jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin
5. Install the new Java source in system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/java 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javaws 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javadoc javadoc /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javadoc 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javah javah /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javah 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javap javap /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/javap 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u38-linux-x64.bin/bin/jar 1
6. Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
7. Check Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
8. Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
III. The sources
Install repo:
Repo is a tool that makes it quite easy to download and maintain the sources of Cyanogenmod.
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm10
$ cd ~/cm10
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean
and enter your credentials.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync
Wait until it's finished (takes a lot of time!)
If the process hangs use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
Tip from ethansp: If you are running into a lot of syncing errors the reason might be that the 'repo sync' command is establishing four threads automatically. This might be too much. So try to change the command to run with one thread only by using
Code:
$ repo sync -j1
Initialize the environment
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
Obtain the proprietary files:
Create a file with the name local_manifest.xml in the .repo directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl-H in your file manager.
Create it with
Code:
gedit ~/cm10/.repo/local_manifest.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p990" path="device/lge/p990" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_star-common" path="device/lge/star-common" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star" path="kernel/lge/star" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project path="vendor/lge" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Run
Code:
$ repo sync
again to get the files needed.
Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by running
Code:
$ ~/cm10/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
And you are done!
IV. Building the ROM
Now build it:
Code:
$ brunch p990
And building process starts. Now have patience. Building takes around half an hour on fast systems and a lot more on older and slower machines.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/cm10/out/target/product/p990
It is called cm-10-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-p990-zip. You can flash it via CWM as usual.
If you are having trouble with the WIFI not working with your newly flashed ROM, check the FAQ section C below for the solution.
V. Rebuilding with newest sources
Whenever you like to update your sources and build a new version you have to run these four simple commands:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm10
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch p990
Building takes less time than it took for creating it the first build because it's only rebuilding new parts and using old parts that haven't changed.
Happy building!
VI. FAQ
A. How to tell how long it takes to build the ROM?
First, it depends on your hardware, second, whether it is your first build or a daily rebuild. To get a first number, you can use the “time” command and add the “brunch” command to it.
E.g.
Code:
time brunch p990
So the system will tell you how long it took to build the ROM. Then you know next time if it will be a short or long coffee break while waiting for your build to finish.
B. Is there a way to speed up the building process?
Actually, there are a lot of ways to speed up the process. Here are some of them:
1. Hardware:
When you build the first time it takes half an hour on fast machines and up to many hours on slower machines. What counts most is raw CPU power. Multi-core computers with a lot of fast RAM are recommended. The more cores the better. Memory-wise a setup with more than 8GB with aggressive but of course also stable timings is also adding to the building speed. A fast HDD or even SSD doesn't hurt either. When resourceful, you can use a system with multiple SSDs and gain more speed than single storage systems. But in most cases the CPU will be the biggest bottleneck. Check with tools, e.g. System Monitor in Ubuntu – and watch the resources tab to find out your bottleneck.
2. System-Software:
If you are using virtual machine software then try to optimize it. Look for “virtualization support” in the BIOS. Give it as much CPU power and memory as you can from your host system. Whenever it is possible it is recommended that you install the system directly, as the virtualization solution usually comes with a performance drop compared to a system installed and booted from directly.
3. The building software:
a. Out Directory
You can use a separate output directory for your builds, e.g. on a different hard drive with a fast file system.
Append
Code:
export OUT_DIR_COMMON_BASE=<path-to-your-out-directory>
to your .bashrc file.
b. Caching
You can setup Ccache, a system that acts as a compiler cache for all the parts of the building that are written in C. This is excellent if you rebuild often. But keep in mind that building the first time takes even longer when you have Ccache activated than building without it. So for first tests it is fine to build without Ccache enabled.
To enable Ccache add
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
to your .bashrc file
Optional: If you like to set the path, where the Ccache will be stored on your own, you have to add another line to the .bashrc
export CCACHE_DIR=<path-to-your-cache-directory>
Now run this command once to initialize the Ccache
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 15G
C. I built the ROM successfully. I flashed it too, but the WiFi is not working anymore. What can I do?
The efforts of the CyanogenMod devs can be considered work in progress. And so it happens that features get broken while trying to fix others...
If you suffer from this then take the file 'wireless.ko'. You find the file below as an attachment. Push or copy it to '/system/lib/modules' and overwrite the file with the same name there. Change the rights to 644 or rw- r-- r-- It's the same as read/write by owner, read by group and read by other.
Without reboot, you can switch on the WiFi now. And you should be back in the game. Thanks to p.valenta for confirmation that it is working.
D. I checked the free space of the system partition. There isn't any. What can I do?
Without changing the size of the system partition not so much. But you can squeeze out a few MBs by removing some files from the created ROM image:
E.g. all the videos in /system/media/video can be deleted.
You can erase the /system/media/bootanimation.zip if you want.
Check /system/media/audio/, there you can delete some ringtones you are not using.
And if you know what you are doing, you can even get rid of some .apk files from '/system/app'.
For example LiveWallpapers.apk, VisualizationWallpapers.apk, CMWallpapers.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk are expendable.
E. I don't want to use Sun's/Oracle's Java Development Kit. Can I use another one instead?
Yes, you can. But using Sun's version is recommended by Google and CyanogenMod for building ROMs. So consider yourself warned. You can use the OpenJDK 6 that you will find already on your system if you installed the necessary packages as shown above. What you finally need to do is checking which Java version is active.
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
Each time choose the OpenJDK6 variant.
Verify the symlinks: Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
When everything you see says 'OpenJDK6' then you can build your ROM with the usual commands.
VII. Build your own ParanoidAndroid ROM based on CM10 for LG P990
IMPORTANT! THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP GUIDE THAT REQUIRES A WORKING BUILDING ENVIRONMENT.
Preparation
You need a tested and fully working building environment (Ubuntu 12.04/12.10, Java 6, etc.). If you do not have one already, please follow this guide throughly first and build a normal CM10 ROM from sources as a test. If everything works as it should, then you can proceed with the following lines.
ParanoidAndroid Environment
Let's start.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
Create a directory named 'paranoid' in your home folder
Code:
$ mkdir ~/paranoid
Initialize the Repo in your newly created directory:
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ repo init -u git://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android.git -b jellybean
Before downloading the files you need to edit a file. One line leads to sync errors and has to be deleted from the file. Edit 'default.xml' in /paranoid/.repo/manifests/
(Hint if you can't see the .repo directory: it's hidden, so to make it visible press Ctrl+H) or use this line
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/.repo/manifests/default.xml
Search (Ctrl+F) for 'ParanoidPreferences' and remove the whole line. Save and close the 'default.xml' file.
We need to add some LGE (P990) specific repositories as well. You can either copy the 'local_manifest.xml' file (it's the same!) from your cm10-build-environment or create a new file in /paranoid/.repo/
To create a new file use
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/.repo/local_manifest.xml
Insert the following lines
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge.git" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p990" path="device/lge/p990" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_star-common" path="device/lge/star-common" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star" path="kernel/lge/star" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="jellybean"/>
</manifest>
Save it.
Sync the repositories (takes time!)
Code:
$ repo sync
Take a looong coffee break.
A few files
After the successful sync process go to 'paranoid/vendor/pa/products/'.
Create a new file with the name 'pa_p990.mk'
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/products/pa_p990.mk
Insert these lines:
(lines changed, xhdpi to hdpi, thanks rugglez)
Code:
# Check for target product
ifeq (pa_p990,$(TARGET_PRODUCT))
# Define PA bootanimation size
PARANOID_BOOTANIMATION_NAME := HDPI
# OVERLAY_TARGET adds overlay asset source
OVERLAY_TARGET := pa_hdpi
# include ParanoidAndroid common configuration
include vendor/pa/config/pa_common.mk
# Inherit CM device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/lge/p990/cm.mk)
PRODUCT_NAME := pa_p990
GET_VENDOR_PROPS := $(shell vendor/pa/tools/getvendorprops.py $(PRODUCT_NAME))
endif
Save it.
Open 'AndroidProducts.mk' in 'paranoid/vendor/pa/products/' with
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/products/AndroidProducts.mk
and add these lines to then end of the file:
Code:
ifeq (pa_p990,$(TARGET_PRODUCT))
PRODUCT_MAKEFILES += $(LOCAL_DIR)/pa_p990.mk
endif
Save it.
Create a file called 'p990.proprietaries' in 'paranoid/vendor/pa/vendorprops/'
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/vendorprops/p990.proprietaries
Code:
[
{
"account": "TheMuppets",
"repository": "proprietary_vendor_lge",
"target_path": "vendor/lge",
"revision": "jellybean"
}
]
Save it.
Open 'vendorsetup.sh' in 'paranoid/vendor/pa/'
Code:
$ gedit ~/paranoid/vendor/pa/vendorsetup.sh
Add this line
Code:
add_lunch_combo pa_p990-userdebug
Save it.
Get CM Prebuilts
Now go to
Code:
$ ~/paranoid/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
Building ParanoidAndroid
Ready to go! Build your ROM now with
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ ./rom-build.sh p990
The compiling takes around the same amount of time as when building CM10. Half an hour minimum, up to a few hours on slower systems. You will find your CWM flashable zip in 'paranoid/out/target/product/p990/'. It is called 'pa_p990-version-date-time.zip'
Rebuilding
Everytime you want to rebuild or build a new version, just change to the directory, resync the sources and start building:
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ repo sync
$ ./rom-build.sh p990
If you haven't enlarged your system partition yet, you have to delete some files or the ROM probably won't fit.
Deletable files
/system/media/: delete bootanimation.zip, saves 9.4 MB
/system/media/video/: delete all files, saves 6.4 MB
/system/media/audio/ringtones/: keep one or two, delete the rest, saves up to ~8 MB
You can even delete some system apps (.apk) from '/system/app/' like LiveWallpapers.apk, VisualizationWallpapers.apk, CMWallpapers.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk

I would personally love it if people included instructions for other distros. Not everything uses apt-get. That's kind of just me being nitpicky, but I've compiled CM9 on Archlinux with substituting a few things.
Also, what happened to the month of letting RC shine?

Google their advice is to use ubuntu if you want to use a distros if your own choices you are probably advanced enough to change the instructions to your needs
And about Ricardo his month it is only a tut to compile it yourself you don't have to share it

I guess I could always post my own adapted instructions! Maybe some day. Ahah.

As funny as it may seem to u, instructions to compile CM10 on different distro than Ubuntu would be highly appreciated. Not everyone uses Ubuntu (I do actually), so u may help someone trying to set it up on their distro...
Just my 2 cents....

Hi, i'm trying to build following your guide.
I have a little problem with step 5.
When i put the line exactly like your
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac
I get fail, system told me they need prority in entire numeric. I get it work with this:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac 1
Have to do the same with the other 2 commands.
Hope this help someone stucked.

As owain already said, we devs have decided to wait for 3-4 weeks before using his work and releasing it as an "own" ROM.
This does only affect releasing a ROM, not building it.
I will always encourage everone to build their own ROM for their own purpose, there's nothing wrong with that. And you will learn a lot

HerrKuk is right. If you try to compile it on a 32-bit system you will see a lot of errors. As JBQ stated here, a 64-bit OS is mandatory.

Is not working. I have too dead wifi. Stucks "activating WI-FI..."
I going to see logcat later and share here.

Good, thanks, was just wondering if I had to make a new build-system from scratch, I've re-used my old CM9-builder.

We all understand rest of the devs here are waiting for RC Shine, thats fine. But as these nightly builds are having too many annoying bugs liek slow battery charging, wifi-battery drain issue, screen wake issue, power button issue, which makes it impossible to even test, forget making it daily driver. In fact even some pals are not able to install it properly (4,5 builds). I dont understand why rest of the devs are not making fixes to these various issues in this nightlies. Other devs are expert who can understand this seperate issues and can make patches till a month, before actually making own custom roms.
Uptil now the fixes suggested by some members are either not working or even making it worse sometimes.
Devs, Please think again for your strong valuable expert fixes. How about a single file parmanent patch with all possible fixes? Will appreciate. Sorry if asking too much or out of protocol. I dont know much what you devs have decided long time back.

Was on the latest build from RC and on bb v20c and the ril which came with the build....wifi was working perfectly and I confirm without a big drain of battery....it was richly smooth

[GUIDE] Build CM10 kernel from source + wkpark's RAM hack

For any CM10 ROM, except new bootloader one, hackfest, and CM10.1
This tutorial shows you how to build CM10 kernel from RC and the CM team's source(it is their work), and using wkpark's ramhack patch or other patches
If you are uncomfortable in building the kernel, you use my flashable sample kernel at the end of the post, which uses 56 MB RAM hack.
Pre-requistes:
A Linux system
An internet connectionc
Some time and patience
But the time required for downloading resources, and building once everything is set up, is only a fraction of the time required for a full CM10 ROM
You can follow this guide, with or without having built CM10 following Raum1807's excellent CM10 building guide. At one of the places, the difference occurs whether you had built CM10 before or not, and I have listed it at that place
For a first time build, you need to follow all the steps, but 2nd time onwards, you can skip to the build step or RAM hack setting step
Instructions:
STEP 1: SETTING UP THE ENVIRONMENT
Install any CM10 ROM on the device (old bootloader, non-hackfest, non-CM10.1 one)
If you already have CM10 environment set up, skip to "Create an environment variable..." part
Install development support packages:
Debian based Linux distributions (like Ubuntu)
64bit systems:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils schedtool pngcrush xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
then
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Red Hat based Linux distributions
32bit and 64bit systems:
git gnupg java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel flex bison gperf SDL-devel esound-devel wxGTK-devel zip curl ncurses-devel zlib-devel gcc-c++ glibc-devel
64bit only:
glibc-devel.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib-devel.i686 ncurses-devel.i686
Setting up Java (thanks to Raum for the java setup guide)
You need a Java Development Kit for building CM10. Recommended is the SUN JDK 6. As of writing the most recent version is SUN JDK 6 Update 37.
1. Download the jdk-6u37-linux-i586.bin from the Oracle/Sun Java Download Area. If you are on 64-bit Ubuntu as I am, you should grab jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin.
2. Make the bin file executable:
Code:
$ chmod +x jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin
3. Extract the bin file:
Code:
$ ./jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin
4. Move the extracted folder to this this location:
Code:
$ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_37 /usr/lib/jvm/./jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin
5. Install the new Java source in system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javac 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/java 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javaws 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javadoc javadoc /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javadoc 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javah javah /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javah 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javap javap /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/javap 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin/bin/jar 1
6. Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
7. Check Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
8. Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the new Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
Now,
If you have CM10 source fetched already (if you have built cm10)
If the directory name where the cm10 source exists is "cm10" (as in Raum's building guide)
Create an environment variable denoting the location of the android toolchain as follows:
Code:
export CCOMPILER=${HOME}/cm10/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
Or else, replace the path/name if yours is different
(If your arm-eabi version is not 4.4.3, check the folder name and change it accordingly)
If you do not have cm10 source on your pc, then you need to download the ARM EABI Toolchain separately
Download link, ready to extract
If above does not work, download from official site here
Download and extract then, create an environment variable denoting the location of the toolchain as follows:
Code:
export CCOMPILER=[extraction directory]/bin/arm-eabi-
Download Kernel Source Code:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/kernel
cd ~/kernel
Now download RC's CM10 kernel source
In terminal, do
Old bootloader:
Code:
git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star.git -b jellybean
New bootloader:
Here, pengus77 has made the necessary changes in his repo, so we fetch from that
Code:
git clone git://github.com/pengus77/lge-kernel-star.git
Thus, there should be a folder named "lge-kernel-star" inside /kernel folder
Then in terminal, cd to that directory "lge-kernel-star"
Code:
cd lge-kernel-star
Getting the config file
The next step is to copy the file "/kernel/lge-kernel-star/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_p990_defconfig" to "/kernel/lge-kernel-star and rename it to ".config"
using the command:
Code:
cp arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_p990_defconfig .config
(Thanks to tonyp for the tip!)
STEP 2: CONFIGURATION
Configure the build:
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER oldconfig
If it happens to ask anything, just accept the defaults at every step by pressing enter.
STEP 3: APPLYING PATCHES
Applying patches like wkpark's RAM hack patch
If you skip this step, the kernel will work, but you'll have a completely stock kernel without RAM hack or other tweaks
Download wkpark's two patches from here and here, and put them in your /kernel directory
Code:
cd ~/kernel
Now to apply the patches, we use the patch command like this:
Code:
patch -Np1 -d lge-kernel-star < patchname.patch
(replace patchname with name of the patch file)
Here, -N is for ignoring patches that seem to be already applied or reversed
p<num> Strip the smallest prefix containing num(here num=1) leading slashes from each file name found in the patch file
In this case, num=1 according to the path names in wkpark's patch, and in a lot of cases, the value of 1 is common
-d is to change to the directory immediately, before doing anything else
You need to apply wkpark's two patches one by one (0001-..., then bootloader-...)
If you get errors while patching, if they are basic errors like file not found etc. then you should manage to fix it yourself.
But if you get errors like "HUNK ... failed",
try
Code:
patch -Np1 --ignore-whitespace -d lge-kernel-star < patchname.patch
A "HUNK ignored" is ok, if patch was attempted previously, since that file might have been successfully patched last time
if a HUNK still fails, then read the troubleshooting guide
Setting RAM hack size (If you skipped the above patching step, dont do this)
wkpark's patch makes it possible for you to set ramhack size in kernel command line parameter.
The cmdline parameter has to have the full boot.img command line parameters, which you can obtain from dmesg. I have done it for you, so you can save time on that
Here's how it looks for the old bootloader: (for the new one, ignore this)
Code:
<5>[70:01:01 00:00:00.000] Kernel command line: loglevel=0 muic_state=1 CRC=10203036179a93 brdrev=1.0 uniqueid=37c7006421f6097 video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:35e00:2800:800,linux:34700:1000:800,mbr:400:200:800,system:600:2bc00:800,cache:2c200:8000:800,misc:34200:400:800,userdata:38700:c0000:800 [email protected] vmalloc=128M androidboot.mode=normal androidboot.hardware=star androidboot.serialno=37c7006421f6097
Paste the line starting from loglevel=0 till the end (serialno) into .config file in lge-kernel-star folder in
CONFIG_CMDLINE="<here>"
Insert a carveout size in between vmalloc and androidboot.mode
Determing carveout size: carveout=<152 - RAM hack size>M
For example, if RAM hack size is 56, then carveout is 96M
So in that case, the cmdline is like this:
old bootloader:
Code:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="loglevel=0 muic_state=1 CRC=10203036179a93 brdrev=1.0 uniqueid=37c7006421f6097 video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:35e00:2800:800,linux:34700:1000:800,mbr:400:200:800,system:600:2bc00:800,cache:2c200:8000:800,misc:34200:400:800,userdata:38700:c0000:800 [email protected] vmalloc=128M carveout=96M androidboot.mode=normal androidboot.hardware=star androidboot.serialno=37c7006421f6097"
new bootloader:
Code:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="tegraid=20.1.4.0.0 [email protected] carveout=152M android.commchip=0 vmalloc=128M androidboot.serialno=037c7006421f6097 video=tegrafb no_console_suspend=1 console=ttyS0,115200n8 debug_uartport=lsport,-3 androidboot.mode=normal usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 [email protected] [email protected] muic_state=0 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:35e00:2800:800,boot:34700:1000:800,mbr:400:200:800,persist:600:2bc00:800,cache:2c200:7f00:800,misc:34200:400:800,userdata:38700:c0000:800,bcttable:0:600:800,bootloader:100:300:800,data/ve:f8800:1400:800,system:34c000:40000:800 "
and save the file
Dont set carveout too low, or else some gpu-intensive stuff may not work properly.
STEP 4: BUILDING THE KERNEL
In terminal,
Code:
cd ~/kernel/lge-kernel-star
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CCOMPILER -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`
This step may take a while, depending on your computer. Took ~5-10 mins for the first build for me, and ~1 min for the second build onwards.
If it asks in the terminal "use default config?" then say "y", if not, then ignore this
If you get some error and the building aborts within a few seconds, try the "Create environment variable part" again, and then return back directly to the build step.
After it is done, you should have a kernel stored in ~/kernel/lge-kernel-star/arch/arm/boot/zImage
Preparing the flashable zip for the kernel
Some compiled modules need to be included so that problems like wifi not switching on dont occur.
They are:
drivers/misc/bthid/bthid.ko
drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/wireless.ko
They will be used while preparing the flashable zip below.
Thanks to feav's compiled modules and benee's anykernel updater for star, all this is ready-made and you can simply:
Download the sample kernel zip attached below and replace /kernel/zImage and and the above modules in system/lib/modules/hw in that with yours, edit updater-script if you want.
Your flashable zip is now ready
STEP 5: FLASHING AND TESTING THE KERNEL
Put the sample kernel below as a backup in case your kernel does not boot and you need a working phone immediately.
Flash the kernel in recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache and reboot.
If the phone goes past the LG logo screen(s) and into the bootscreen of the ROM, then it should work
Then you can check "kernel version" in settings->about phone to see your kernel information,
and you can see the new RAM size (which should be 342 MB + RAM hack size) in some app like battery dr saver, or antutu benchmark's system info.
If it doesnt work, make sure you have followed the entire guide properly and then ask queries
If you want to revert to another kernel, flash that kernel in recovery, or for stock kernel, flash your ROM.
Keeping kernel source up to date (for building again later after RC has made changes to the source):
Code:
cd ~/kernel/lge-kernel-star
git pull
This will update your source with the latest commits by RC. Then you can rebuild the kernel by doing the "create environment variable" and then skip directly to the build stage
Standard disclaimer:
I am not responsible if anything goes wrong with your phone or anything else.

Troubleshooting guide:
1. Patch failure
HUNK failed means that a particular file was not patched to some problem. In this case, a .rej file is saved in the same folder as the file to be patched, and it contains the stuff not patched.
Do not neglect "failed" hunk since it means a partially applied patch(some files patched, some files not), and may cause problems. "Ignored hunk" is ok, if the patch had been attempted before on a file and had succeeded on that file last time.
To manually patch the failed hunk, go that file where the hunk failed (has same name as .rej file without .rej extension)
For example, if .rej file is board-star.c.rej, and it contains the following sample lines (look for lines beginning with '+' and remove the + before adding, similar for -) go to board-star.c, and add the lines manually like this:
Code:
#if defined (CONFIG_STAR_REBOOT_MONITOR) || defined (CONFIG_BSSQ_REBOOT_MONITOR)
#define RAM_RESERVED_SIZE 100*1024
/* Force the reserved_buffer to be at its old (Froyo/GB) location
for reboot to work with the older bootloader */
if (strstr(saved_command_line, "brdrev=")) {
extern void *reserved_buffer;
pr_info("The older bootloader detected\n");
if (memblock_end_of_DRAM() > 0x17f80000) {
if (memblock_reserve(0x17f80000, RAM_RESERVED_SIZE)) {
pr_err("Fail to get reserved_buffer for the older bootloader\n");
} else {
pr_info("Change reserved_buffer for the older bootloader\n");
reserved_buffer = phys_to_virt(0x17f80000);
}
} else {
pr_info("Change reserved_buffer\n");
reserved_buffer = ioremap(0x17f80000, RAM_RESERVED_SIZE);
}
}
#endif
This was in the .rej file, and is to be added immediately after
Code:
#if defined(CONFIG_LGE_BROADCAST_TDMB)
star_dmb_init();
#endif /* CONFIG_LGE_BROADCAST */
in board-star.c (and before the next #if defined or closing bracket)
Similarly, the - lines to be deleted and + lines are to be added in that failed hunk file
(do this manual stuff only if hunk fails)
2. If ramhack kernel fails, but normal kernel works:
From your pc, in terminal do
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
or from your phone, in android terminal emulator, do
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
Copy it from your dmesg.txt starting from loglevel=0 till the end (serialno)
Look for a line in dmesg.txt which resembles this:
Code:
<5>[70:01:01 00:00:00.000] Kernel command line: loglevel=0 muic_state=1 CRC=10203036179a93 brdrev=1.0 uniqueid=37c7006421f6097 video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 tegraboot=sdmmc tegrapart=recovery:35e00:2800:800,linux:34700:1000:800,mbr:400:200:800,system:600:2bc00:800,cache:2c200:8000:800,misc:34200:400:800,userdata:38700:c0000:800 [email protected] vmalloc=128M androidboot.mode=normal androidboot.hardware=star androidboot.serialno=37c7006421f6097
Use your own phone's parameters instead of this and then set carveout size.
3. Problem with config file:
Pulling kernel config from device:
You need to retrieve a working kernel config from the device, and unzip it.
For that, connect your phone to your pc, enable USB debugging if it was disabled, and then in terminal
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz ~/kernel/lge-star-kernel-jellybean/config.gz
cat config.gz | gunzip > .config
Alternatively, you can pull the .config from the newest boot.img
Code:
scripts/extract-ikconfig boot.img > .config

There are always some things worth experiencing once in life, like if you are an Android user, building a ROM and a kernel. You have experienced it with your wonderful AF kernel, thats important

USB works fine, both adb and mass storage
This guide may seem intimidating, but trust me, once you complete it the first time, you'll find it really simple from the next build onwards.
Uploaded a slightly modified version of wkpark's 2nd patch (bootloader one) which may possibly fix one of the errors and may remove need for manually adding some lines. Updated link in OP and attached here too.

I tried the sample kernel and my camera stops functioning and so with other apps such as contacts, they don't start at all. Im on dec 20 nightly. Could it be the ramhack size? Maybe 32mb will suffice. Just saying.
Thanks to this, will probably try this next week..

Uploaded 32 MB ram hack kernel for those having problem with camera, try it out.
Download link 32MB RH
Update:
Added 24MB version too. Here you go:
24MB RH kernel

Thanks rugglez, 32 mb rh is ok so far, cm10 is way smoother and can still play nfs most wanted. Btw, can you apply the patch for double lg logo too by wkpark?
Sent from my P990-CM10

After installing the new kernel, if some apps still don't work or there any lag, disable "force gpu rendering" and "disable hardware overlays" in developer settings.

Thank you for your work! Just flashed the 32mb version without any problem. On cm7 the 48mb ramhack was the biggest without breaking 720p recording. Maybe you should give it a try!

Hi rugglez, got the ff. error when installing the required packages, Im on ubuntu 12.10 x64.
Note, selecting 'libsdl1.2-dev' instead of 'libsdl-dev'
Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'sun-java6-jdk' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package libwxgtk2.6-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libwxgtk2.6-dev'
How to fix? Thanks.

Can you install the dependencies from Raum's CM10 building thread here?
Follow steps 1 and 2 there.
Let me know if that works, ive updated the guide's step 1(setting up environment)
Installing the dependencies from this guide was the only thing i didnt test, since i had the CM10 environment set up already

a step is missing from this guide.

then

if you don't make the default config the compiler throws out some errors.

Just use "git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star.git", it should give you better download speed than for the zipped archive.
I synced the whole CM10 source tree on the remote buildbox in about 5-10 minutes - so github does provide great downspeed
@rugglez: You should add to the OP that you don't have to use adb to get the kernel config, it's already there
arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_p990_defconfig
Please refer to the old cm7 kernel how to by pastime: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227241
I really like the fact that more and more building guides get posted here - and that more and more people are building their own ROMs and kernels these days.
After building (which already is a great start) many people even want to learn more about android development in general. That's the true xda spirit!
Kudos!

[Guide] to Build your KitKat ROM (CM-AOKP-Carbon-Slim) x N5 from source (Ubuntu14LTS)

Hi, my name's Stefano I'm from Italy, and sorry for my poor english. This is the guide to build your own the KitKat (or whatever branch you want) for your HammerHead. We'll start, obviously, setting up your client (PC), and here we'll use ubuntu x64. Is possible to use almost any linux distribution (also MacOSX) but I prefer to stay on what is much supported and known (for me!). This guide is taken from internet and reading forums/blogs. I didn't invent anything, you can found a lot of guides like this. Just this is updated with last changes. For the setup part I read and paste a lot from here (thanks to sylentprofet).
Regard the hardware side you'll need at least of:
a Dual Core processor
4 Gb of RAM
80 Gb of hard disk for each repository (Better if SSD but don't required)
The Graphics Card don't care, we don't use to compile
A good internet connection, you have to download up to 40 Gb of stuff
A lot of patience, if you aren't go to download a ready ROM, it's better!
Time, time, time, time and again time!
How to Configure Ubuntu for Properly Compiling Android ROMs​
This guide applies to Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail 64 bit (but also down to 12.04 LTS which is the version that I prefer). Do not use the 32 Bit version. Also, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION when to use “sudo” and when to not. It can make things funky if you do something as root that you shouldn’t. During normal build you don't have absolutely need to use "sudo", just during the PC setup.
Much thanks goes out to Google, ProTekk, Canonical, and everyone else that I read a random paragraph here and snippet there.
First, let’s set up the correct JDK.
Many of you probably have some kind of wrong Java installed. Sad cupcake.Let’s get rid of that. Copy and paste this into a Terminal window:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
Back to the Terminal. Copypasta the following:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with 13.04 (or less). No more unrecognized Java version errors! Yay! And it’s self updating, so you don’t have to redownload binaries everytime they release a new version.
Next, we actually need to install the package. More copypasta:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Follow the onscreen instructions. You have to Accept the Licensing Agreement or whatever. Hopefully no human centipede clauses. Once that is completed successfully, you will have to restart any open browsers with Java content for it to display correctly.
To make sure the correct version of Java is activated, run the following at the Terminal prompt:
Code:
java -version
You should see something like the following:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)​ 
Ok, back to a fresh Terminal prompt. Time for installing the guts to build stuff in Ubuntu. Because (K)Ubuntu no longer carries ia32-libs-multiarch and ia32-libs (from Saucy onwards), it is necessary to install from precise repos:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
once is installed, you can remove repository:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository --remove "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse"
sudo apt-get update
Before start, install:
Code:
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python
And we wait. Don’t worry, this isn’t the crazy downloading part just yet.
When that is done, do this:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Now it's time to download and setup SDK Tools. First of all download Android SDK Tools for Linux x64. Extract the folder “sdk”, inside package, into your "Downloads" folder and rename it to "AndroidSDK" e.g..
Then come to your terminal and type:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/AndroidSDK/tools
and after:
Code:
./android sdk
You can now see the GUI that propose all installable packages. Install Platform tools and Tools for most recent Android (4.4), with the most higher API (19+) version. Flag "accept" and install.
Once is complete, you have you need the binary for repo that will let you talk to git servers and download all that precious source code:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Open "~/.bashrc" to add a line:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
At the very bottom, add the following line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Type to restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
Now you have all need to work (or play) with your ubuntu and it's time to give the sources (repositories) from your preferred Team (who share the source code for their rom). The most known host service for sources and projects is GitHub. E.g. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/
The point of start of any repo is its "manifest" (default.xml) where the team list all it's projects (here an example), only the necessary to the building process.
Until last year was necessary to compile (before begin and looking to platform manifest) an own local manifest where we exclude from download all the devices/kernel/vendor parts unnecessary for our device. This saves up to some Gigabytes of download.
Fortunately now the repositories will download itself the necessary devices/kernel/vendor parts when we'll choose ("lunch") the device to build ("make"). With the exception of AOKP who wanna know, before initialize your local repo, for which device/s you'd like build.
Now I'll write a section for each Team/ROM you want to initialize, that's for me has sense. How take a sense to put each "platform/project" in a different folder (e.g. CarbonDev in a folder and Cyanogenmod in another, both sons of your Home folder).
In the waiting to read next part, better familiarize a little with terms like "breakfast, brunch, lunch, make" into Android contest.

Building Cyanogenmod
In the terminal, now we'll make a folder where to store the Android source code. Typically will make it in your home folder, within a folder called like your projected ROM, to identify from other stuff, open your terminal and type:
Code:
mkdir –p ~/Cyanogenmod
cd ~/Cyanogenmod
Now we are going to initialize your local repository, with the "branch" cm-11.0 (KitKat), in your terminal:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
And now, the most long part of the story: you’re going to get the source. We have to download around 10-15 Gbytes. First of begin the process, you must to know that you can accelerate the process related to your processor and, obviously, to your internet band. You can choose the number of simultaneous processes to start. They depends from the "#" in the "-j" parameter. E.g. the option -j6 is related to a “normal” processor. If you have a performant processor and/or internet connection, try to increment putting –j10 or more. On terminal:
Code:
repo sync -j6
From time to time, check the situation on output, maybe occurs a pair of hours or a whole night. But when all will be done, you’re ready to build Android!
Once you finish your repo sync, you’ll ready to build. In your terminal, into your working folder type (pay attention at the initial “dot”):
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
The commands are loaded, now you can build (tune your -j# parameter as you want):
Code:
breakfast hammerhead && make -j6 bacon
At the end of all, your fresh ROM to flash will be in Cyanogenmod/out/target/product/hammerhead. Happy flash!

Thank you man I'm gonna try it out

I am getting a tone of errors while compiling. Is this normal. I'm gonna assume as long as it doesn't stop everything should be OK.

When u have warnings, it's all right.
When u have errors the building stops itself...

I was about to do the same guide . I have made the part for paranoidandroid and aosp yesterday, but I am now late. Btw good guide. Better than mine.

@PippoX3 I really appreciate this guide and your help. My phone just booted into my self comiled cm11. This is always something I've wanted to do since I flashed my first ROM a couple years ago. @Lloir it was actually one of yours "evervolv" for HOV I would like to thank both of you for your help thus far and look forward to continue to ask silly questions. To some this sounds like nothing special. But using a rom you compiled yourself for the first time is quite a rush. Thanks again...

You're welcome mate. I remember my first builded and flashed rom for HtcOneS and was a big goal for me. Then I understand you. A step away to grow again and learn more and more. Dig it! :laugh:

The only difference for aosp is just changing the link in repo init -u ? I wanna build a stock rom only with advanced brightness adjustment

Generally yes. Take a look to their readme into manifest platform, usually they explain there how to initialize your local repo. The rest is same for alls...

I'm getting this error while trying to install packages after the Java step.(Ubuntu 13.10)
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'lib32z1-dev' instead of 'lib32z-dev'
Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However, the following packages replace it:
lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0
I moved on to the next step and receive this:

[GUIDE] Android One (Sprout) Making Kernel's or ROM's in Simple Way [NOOB FRIENDLY]

Post is Influenced from @Anik_khan Kernel Post to make Procedure More Simple for Us All.
So Don't BE Shocked to see Things
Prerequisites:
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr 64 Bit. (Can be on VirtualBox or Full Install Your Wish.)
RAM Minimum:2GB Recommended:4GB
Around 100GB Space for ROM’s. (Kernels can use upto 1GB.)
Unlimited (Fast) LAN Connection.
More RAM, or faster CPU, or SSD will speed up the process.
A Brain (Most Important of All :v)
At the starting of the post I have linked a script by @akhilnarang which if run will automatically install all these programs for lazy people.
If you not interested to do all procedure from below just use the script. Simply it will automatically configure the build environment.
NOTE-------- some of these packages may already be on your machine. Obviously, if you complete a step and you have one of these installed, the machine simply will not do anything. So...it will not hurt anything. Some of the packages are different from Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 (use these packages for Ubuntu 14.04 as many of the old ones have obsoleted - these are new replacements).
So if you set up your pc with Ubuntu we are good to go.
All code will be in code boxes like this:
Code:
$
means you have to run that command in the terminal (don't type the $).
All commands with sudo, gksudo, or gksu means it requires root permission.
It will ask for password.
Once you type, then in that terminal session it will not ask you for a few minutes again.
Any time you make changes to .bashrc or .profile file, make sure to run
Code:
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.profile
Or exit and open new terminal else the changes will not take place
Setting Up Build Environment
Method 1:
So if you not interested in doing below all steps then simply use this script by my friend @akhilnarang
Open terminal and type:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core
then do
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/akhilnarang/scripts.git
$ cd scripts
$ . build-environment-setup.sh
This script will install all required packages
Method 2:
1)Installing Java JDK
Open terminal (CTRL + ALT + T)
Then execute the following commands in terminal one by one:
Download & install java
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre
CHECK if java properly installed or not
Code:
$ java -version
If you get output like
Code:
Code:
java version "1.7.0_79" or anything higher(in my case)
on the first line then all is good
Now JDK is configured!
Note: Only for Ubuntu 14.04 or higher
2)Installing Required Packages
Open Terminal
Now execute this command:
Note: This will take some time, has to download about 500MB or so of packages
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git-core python gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev openjdk-7-jdk pngcrush schedtool \
libxml2 libxml2-utils xsltproc lzop libc6-dev schedtool g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev gcc-multilib liblz4-* android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot ccache
3)Installing Android SDK
Download the SDK from here!
Accept Terms & download 64 bit.
Extract in your home directory & rename extracted folder "android-sdk".
Now, execute these commands in terminal:
Code:
$ cd ~/android-sdk/tools/
$ ./android sdk
At this point the SDK should come up and you will need to download at least all the tools and all the extras files (at least to 4.0, so select them and install them.When it finishes downloading & installing everything you have to run this command in ANOTHER TERMINAL:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install gksudo
$ gksu gedit .bashrc
And you need to add at the end of it your SDK paths these three lines (copy and paste them):
Code:
export PATH=~/android-sdk/tools:$PATH
export PATH=~/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save and close the file, then close terminal, or
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
Find your .profile file and add this at the bottom of the file
Code:
PATH="$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/plartform-tools:$PATH"
SDK is configured.
4)Configuring USB Access
Now we need to set permissions so that our USB ports can detect our android devices
Type in the following commands, it will download a file with the permissions, give it permission to execute, and restart the service.
Code:
$ sudo curl --create-dirs -L -o /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules -O -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snowdream/51-android/master/51-android.rules
$ sudo chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
$ sudo chown root. /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
$ sudo service udev restart
$ sudo killall adb
ADB & Fastboot are configured
5)Installing Repo Package
Open terminal and type:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
6)Configure Git
Open terminal and type:
Code:
$ git config --global user.email ""
$ git config --global user.name ""
Git is configured.
7)Configure ccache
Open terminal and type:
Code:
$ gksu gedit ~/.bashrc
Enter these lines
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
export CCACHE_DIR=~/.ccache
Save & close
Open terminal & execute:
Code:
$ source .bashrc
$ ccache -M 50G
I usually use 50 gigs. You can use more if you have more space, or build for many devices
Congrats
YOUR BUILD ENVIROMENT IS NOW SETUP .

Yes. But I think you'll need to apply the Vibration patch manually, as it will probably fail.
And, well, no need to apply all the patches, only vibration.
That's it.
