I made a tool to install recoveries-custom/stock, lock and unlock bootloader.
Its for Linux.
If on Ubuntu do
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot git-core
To install
Code:
git clone https://github.com/akhilnarang/sprout-tool.git
cd sprout-tool
./sprout-tool.sh

Compiling Gummy
All work here is done from Ubuntu 10.04.. Newer releases may require slightly different packages.
Installing dependencies:
Install Ubuntu 10.04 and install all updates
Install Java SDK (type or copy the commands into the terminal exactly as you see them here )
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Install Git
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core
Install the rest of the needed files
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils pngcrush
Setting up and syncing Gummy’s Repo
Enter the commands in the terminal exactly as they are displayed to setup your PATH
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
Code:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Code:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create your Gummy source directory and then go to that directory
Code:
mkdir ~/Gummy
Code:
cd ~/Gummy
Initialize and sync the Gummy repo (where X is put the number of cores for your CPU such as “repo sync -j4” for a quad core)
Code:
repo init -u[url="https://github.com/teamgummy/platform_manifest.git"][color=#000000] https://github.com/teamgummy/platform_manifest.git[/color][/url] -b master
Code:
repo sync -jX
Take a break and enjoy an ice cold beer
Go to the fridge
Pull out your favorite brand of beer
Open with care
Drink with pleasure
Otherwise its going to take a while ( a long while )
Preparing to Gummy and compiling
Get prebuilts (Term)
Code:
cd ~/Gummy/vendor/Gummy
Code:
./get-prebuilts
Code:
cd ~/Gummy
Compile (dont forget the . and also make sure you again change the X to the number of cores you have)
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && lunch Gummy_crespo-userdebug && make gummy -jX

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------
i have Ubuntu v11.10 so what the different packages i have to consider ? and i will be thankful if you mad another tutorial for compiling cyanogenmod 9 or refer to the link that has made this tutorial
*If you find this Guide Thread helpful, feel free to hit the "thanks" button below!
I'm doing this guide because when I switched to arch linux ,I found no guides to setup sdk in it.Arch is a beautiful OS, but for newcomers like me ,I took some time to get used to it.So,In this guide, we’ll take a look at how to set up a development environment for Android in Arch linux(or Arch based Linux Distros) so you can start working on your Projects.Most of the Arch Linux are pro linux users so there is really no need of this guide, but this guide is meant for those who are switching from ubuntu/mint/fedora/any other disto which are not based on Arch, to say it in short its meant for new users of Arch Linux. Anyway Let's set up.
First let's set see how to install Platform tools.
Setting up platform-tools in UBUNTU(or Ubuntu based distros/Linux Mint)
In ubuntu platform tools can be setup very easily.
1.Open terminal(Default shortcut is ctrl+alt+T)
2. Type "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb" (this will install the adb)
3. Type "sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot"(this will install the fastboot)
Step 4: Check whether the above tools are working by typing an adb command. For e.g. "adb devices"
Now its time to install SDK in Ubuntu and set it up but before that let me tell you there is already a great thread by matt95.You can see the guide and thank him herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302780
Fedora/CentOS/RedHat
First lets install Eclipse[You can also use Android Studio if you want]
Code:
sudo yum install eclipse-jdt
Now lets download the sdk from here. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Its about 500mb , Just wait and let it downlaod. Once the download is done extract it wherever you want.
For newcomers I recommend to extract it to 'home'.So the file is now extracted inside /home/user/AndroidSDK .
Now lets setup .bash_profile file so that we can access adb anywhere or else you have to type the whole location again use the adb command which is lot of work . So let's shorten it up.
Type "sudo vim .bash_profile"in terminal.
Code:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/AndroidSDK:$HOME/AndroidSDK/tools
export PATH
# For SDK version r_08 and higher, also add this for adb:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/AndroidSDK/platform-tools
export PATH
Now lets install android plugin for eclipse.
Open Eclipse and click on Help.Select Install New Software. Then click Add, at the top right of that window. Type in Android Plugin for the name and https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ for the address.
Once this is done, click on the Available Software Sites hyperlink below the Add button, then highlight the Android Plugin source and click on Reload. Now exit this window, and choose Android Plugin from the “Work with” dropdown menu. Choose the developer tools option that you see here and Proceed with the installation.
After the installation configure your Android virtual devices.
ARCH LINUX(or Arch based Distros)
Lets install android sdk
Open terminal and type
Code:
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/an/android-sdk/android-sdk.tar.gz
Note:- If terminal shows wget is not found. Type this in the terminal
Code:
pacman -Suy && pacman -S wget
Once it fetches the tarball, lets extract it by typing
Code:
tar -xvzf android-sdk.tar.gz
wait for it to finish. Change the directory to android-sdk by using the command
Code:
cd android-sdk
.
Now lets make the package by using the command
Code:
makepkg -s
now lets install it by typing
Code:
sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.xz
Platform tools for Arch
Let's install platform-tools now.Just like above steps ,well get a package and install it.
1. Type
Code:
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/an/android-sdk-platform-tools/android-sdk-platform-tools.tar.gz
2.Type
Code:
tar -xvzf android-sdk-platform-tools.tar.gz
3.Change directory.
Code:
cd android-sdk-platform-tools
4.
Code:
makepkg -s
5.Install it
Code:
sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.xz
All the files are installed in /opt/android-sdk/ . Just like we had .bash_profile in FEDORA, we use symbolic links in Arch linux to use commands from anywhere .
Code:
sudo ln -s /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb //this one's for adb
sudo ln -s /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot /usr/bin/fastboot //This one's for Fastboot
sudo ln -s /opt/android-sdk/tools/ddms /usr/bin/ddms //This is for DDMS
sudo ln -s /opt/android-sdk/tools/android /usr/bin/android //This is for Android
Now run android by typing "android" in terminal. :good:
Simple as that. If you are yet to switch to Arch linux then I recommened you to use "BBQLinux " its an Arch linux for Android developers. It comes with most of the things needed for android development. You can download it from Here.
Thanks for reading this. Help me by giving me e-books.:angel:
PM me or post here if you have any doubts. :victory:

Thanks for the reply, I havent tried pacaur repository though. Will give it a try soon.:good:
sorry, I made an error:
Code:
pacaur -S android-sdk android-sdk-platform-tools android-udev android-studio android-sdk-build-tools
you dont need both platform and build tools, it looks like build-tools is more recent. if you want eclipse instead of android studio, just use 'eclipse-android' instead of android-studio

I've had some people PM me for guidance building CM12 from source from the Atrix HD. There are currently no device specific guides, so this will help those of you who want to get their hands dirty with development but don't have a place to start.
Please note that I am writing this from memory as I don't feel like wiping my build environment and setting it up again for the purpose of this tutorial. That said, this *should* be accurate, but if you hit any snags comment and we can try and sort them out.

Overview
I. Preparation
II. Installation of the required packages
III. Installing Java
IV. The sources
V. Building the ROM
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
I. 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 used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit from within a VirtualBox VM.
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!
II. Installation of the required packages (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex \
g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf \
lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev \
libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev \
libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop \
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool \
squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
III. Installing Java
You need a version 6 Java Development Kit for building CM12.0. Usually, the SUN JDK 6 is recommended. But there is another way: you can use the OpenJDK 6. When you installed the required packages as described above, you will just need to configure your Java installation.
Check your Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the right Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
If they are pointing to the wrong versions you have to change that to OpenJDK6.
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
All done.
IV. 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 http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create the working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm12
$ cd ~/cm12
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.0
and enter your credentials.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync
Wait until it's finished - takes some time to download the many GB of source code!
If the process hangs use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
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:
First get missing repositories for the Atrix HD by running
Code:
$ breakfast mb886
Then create a file with the name local_manifest.xml in the local_manifests directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl-H in your file manager. Use this code
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm12/.repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola.git" path="vendor/motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Run
Code:
$ repo sync
again to get the files needed.
Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by running
Code:
$ cd ~/cm12/vendor/cm
$ . get-prebuilts
$ croot
And you're done!
V. Building the ROM
Now build it:
Code:
$ brunch mb886
And the building process starts. Now have patience. Building takes around half an hour on fast systems and a lot more on older,slower machines and VMs.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/cm12/out/target/product/mb886
It is called cm-12-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-mb886-zip. You can flash it via CWM/PhilZ/Cyanogen Recovery as usual.
VI. 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 ~/cm12
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch mb886
Compiling takes less time than it took for creating the ROM the first time because it's only building new parts while reusing old parts that haven't changed. Occasionally you might want to wipe your output directory and build completely anew. To do this:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm12
$ repo sync
$ make clean
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch mb886
Good luck!
Thank you. Great work!
Awesome work mate
How can we build aosp for atrix hd?

almost the same, just you have to download aosp source insted of cm's.. give the aosp link while initialising the repo.. google it, you will find it
I have the aosp source, but I dont think the "brakfast" and "lunch" command will work till I edit/add few files, I have added the local_manifest file, and given path to muppets repo.
Still few more things would be required. any links to read would be great help.

try this..
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 .
