Damn ten minutes... pretty quick, what are you running. I just finished setting up my old server last night. 2 dual core xeons with 16 gigs of ram and I'm interested to see how that cranks out builds

I build aokp on a old dual core with 4 gigs in about 4 hours with ccache about an hour. I usually make clobber before every build so it always takes 4 hours but hey at least it builds!

Damn that's some serious hardware tight there. I had a few servers set up but I'm in a apartment and was driving my girlfriend crazy with all the fans running so I've had to cut back... also gets old when you have to turn the TV all the way up to be heard over the fans lol.

I have another with 4 dual core xeons but can't run it cause I have no 220 outlet at my place other than on the patio in the laundry room and am to cheap to buy a power inverter.

But ya again. Props on the hardware and ill see how long my build takes tonight

This, I wouldn't be able to think sitting in the room with that much noise. I'd much rather ssh in and use it :p

Edit: Updated CSS layout on the website to make it more pleasant on the eyes. Will be doing more throughout next week, I'm most definitely not a website developer.

That's why I have headphones. Lol. My wife has her own home office and my kid has his room.

My home office is 9.5ft by 21.5ft with 10 foot ceilings and the servers are enclosed in a 32u rack. Its not that bad.

Let me know if you need help with website design, I can lend a hand here and there.

Thats a sweet setup! As far as the page I'm more interested in providing information and tutorials from what's there to using github, gerrit, etc. I'm only going my lack of website design doesn't get in the way while I'm building it I'm also studying css to think I got php and jQuery to go...head = explode.

At the end of the toroplus tutorial you say
There are still a few magical words you need to do before you type the magical "make" ....what are they? Do they vary?

Type three commands from platform folder,

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
(Then select your device)
Type make -jx (x = double number cores of your computer)

    Developers Support Thread

    What does that mean?

    Quite literally, this thread is intended to support developers. I intend to help out anyone who needs a hand in an attempt to develop for the Galaxy Nexus, or any other phone but I'm going to reference my website with step by step instructions to get you through the beginning stages and comfortable with development. This will also cut down on the number of "noob questions".


    Background:
    My private messages and e-mail stay filled with usually the same questions. There are lots of people who have android phones and the excitement of owning them doesn't stop there. They want to learn how these other people are creating custom roms on their phone. Some people want a minimalism rom, pure AOSP with maybe one or two mods, such as reboot and status bar toggles, but otherwise want a stock setup. They browse around all these great roms but they are just too many mods for their taste. What do you do from there? You can request a developer release a version with only those two mods, and then wait for the end of time because it's not coming. Or you can compile your own rom from source code and have whatever mods you choose.

    Rules:

    1) No trolling. If someone appears to be a troll and everyone agrees they are a troll, leave it at that. NOT responding to a troll is the only way to defeat them so practice that rampid in this thread.

    2) Anyone who knows an answer to a question posted, feel free to join in, the entire community including current developers should participate. This will only serve to strengthen the development community.

    3) No question is too small. Everyone starts somewhere so if someone post asking what a terminal is, or how to find usb debugging in settings, do not discourage them from continuing to learn. There is no place for that and you will have become a troll. You will know it too because everyone will ignore your comments ;).

    Get your start here:

    http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

    This is google's own instruction but it's hard for some people just starting off to feel comfortable with. I have elaborated on this guide with an entire website aimed at educating people. Please visit here: http://www.dreamsforgotten.net Understand the site is very new, I have been working on it for a month or so, but it will grow and evolve as does this thread. Any questions that get tackled here that are repeated, and seem to affect many people, I will add the resolution to the website as well.

    I do have ad sense on the website in an attempt to cover the hosting fees, there is no option to set up an account @ dreamsforgotten.net. Anyone is free to stop by and view it, and take from it what they need. So far I have enough instruction in place to get anyone who is using a supported development device (as well as sprint and verizon galaxy nexi lol) compiling from source rather quickly.

    Please leave me feedback on what you would like to see addressed in the future, and consider this the support thread. Dreamsforgotten.net is for you to get a step by step instruction on setting up an environment, this thread is for you to expand that and get assistance when you hit a snag in the road. Thanks guys and I'll be responding to questions as I get time. Enjoy.

    I will shoot you a pm later to hash out the info. I have a shared hosting plan going to waste right now. I can get you access to it for you to upload your site.

    I'm guessing if you remove the binaries from this tar http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=107, you shouldn't need to do the edits to source for the ril to function. I don't have toroplus anymore to test this so let everyone know.

    yes this is true. from 4.1 to 4.2 the telephony files were moved from frameworks/base to frameworks/opt/telephony. this is the reason why we needed the fix for data. the old binaries from 4.1 pointed to frameworks/base but with the new binaries they have been updated to point to the right direction wich is frameworks/opt/telephony. ypu can grab the new binaries from any new rom im sure has been updated with new binaries by now. im sure there is a deodex version of stock 4.2.1 sprint ota update somewhere or you can just use my vendor for toroplus which i have updated with new binaries already HERE.

    Hosting cost, I'm not really making up for it so I must cut it.
