To compile Gingerbread on Ubuntu I'm going to first give you steps to set up your computer to get this thing rolling. This will NOT make a fully functional ROM, but give you a place to start.
Note: The source is approximately 2.6GB in size. You will need 10GB free to complete the build.
These instructions are compiled by me from different sources such as source.android.com and Cyanogen Wiki.
1) You need the following:
2) Install required packages.
3) Configure your USB.
Inside of this blank text file insert:
4) Save the file and close it and then issue this command:
5) Download the repo:
6) Initialize the repo:
7) When prompted, please configure Repo with your real name and email address. To use the Gerrit code-review tool, you will need an email address that is connected with a registered Google account. Make sure this is a live address at which you can receive messages. The name that you provide here will show up in attributions for your code submissions.
8) Gather the files:
9) Verify and insert public key block:
10) After copying and pasting the public key block press Crtl+D to end the input.
11) Compiling:
Or:
12) Issue:
13) Pick your poison.
14) Now issue:
15) Now just cross your fingers and hope it all works out!
16) Issue this command to create a flashable zip:
Or if you want to test on an emulator:
17) If all went well you can either run your build on an emulator or flash it on a device.
~How To Add A Device To The List~
1) Find the github for your device you wish to add. (For me it is the HTC Hero CDMA)
2) Now navigate to the location you are going clone the device tree to:
3) Clone the github device tree from remote to local: (The heroc would be whatever you want that folder to be named so make sure it is whatever standard name would be for your device, example: Nexus One [passion], Nexus S [crespo], Motorola Droid [sholes], HTC Incredible [inc], etc.)
4) Now navigate into the folder:
5) Connect phone to computer and enter this code:
6) Prepare To Compile:
Or:
7) Get your list of devices:
8) Pick your poison.
9) Now compile:
Or if you want a flashable zip:
Note: The source is approximately 2.6GB in size. You will need 10GB free to complete the build.
These instructions are compiled by me from different sources such as source.android.com and Cyanogen Wiki.
1) You need the following:
- Python 2.4 -- 2.7, which you can download from python.org.
Or:
Code:$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install python2.5
- JDK 6 if you wish to build Gingerbread or newer; JDK 5 for Froyo or older. You can download both from java.sun.com.
Or:
Code:$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner" $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
- Git 1.5.4 or newer. You can find it at git-scm.com.
Or:
Code:$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get install git-core
- Valgrind, a tool that will help you find memory leaks, stack corruption, array bounds overflows, etc. Download from valgrind.org.
Or:
Code:$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get install valgrind
2) Install required packages.
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib64ncurses5-dev \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib64readline5-dev lib64z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib tofrodos
3) Configure your USB.
Code:
$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

10) After copying and pasting the public key block press Crtl+D to end the input.
11) Compiling:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
12) Issue:
Code:
$ lunch
13) Pick your poison.
14) Now issue:
Code:
$ make
15) Now just cross your fingers and hope it all works out!
16) Issue this command to create a flashable zip:
Code:
$ make otapackage
Code:
$ emulator
17) If all went well you can either run your build on an emulator or flash it on a device.
Code:
Please note that you have already selected your build target with lunch, and it is unlikely at best to run on a different target than it was built for.
~How To Add A Device To The List~
1) Find the github for your device you wish to add. (For me it is the HTC Hero CDMA)
2) Now navigate to the location you are going clone the device tree to:
Code:
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY/device
$ mkdir htc ; cd htc
3) Clone the github device tree from remote to local: (The heroc would be whatever you want that folder to be named so make sure it is whatever standard name would be for your device, example: Nexus One [passion], Nexus S [crespo], Motorola Droid [sholes], HTC Incredible [inc], etc.)
Code:
git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_heroc.git -b gingerbread heroc
4) Now navigate into the folder:
Code:
$ cd heroc
5) Connect phone to computer and enter this code:
Code:
$ ./extract-files.sh
6) Prepare To Compile:
Code:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
7) Get your list of devices:
Code:
$ lunch
8) Pick your poison.
9) Now compile:
Code:
$ make
Or if you want a flashable zip:
Code:
$ make otapackage
