How to build CWM Recovery

You may also use http://builder.clockworkmod.com/, there you can build touch and non-touch version. Always latest version.
Files needed for this you can find within device files: AriesVE Dev Connection Team github


File location:
/recovery.fstab
/recovery/graphics.c
/recovery/postrecoveryboot.sh
+ any recovery.img, which works on your device​


Manually build CWM (non-touch)
(Base is arco cm9, other possible sources and their included CWM Version second post)
  1. Install android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
  2. Install Java
    http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Java/Installation/Oracle_Java
  3. Install needed libs (Ubuntu 13.04)
    Code: 
    sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs 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
  4. Create Directories
    Code: 
    $ mkdir -p ~/bin && mkdir -p ~/android/system
  5. Install repo
    Code: 
    $ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
  6. Add "~/bin" to PATH of execution
    Code: 
    $ gedit ~/.bashrc
    add:
    Code: 
    #Android
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
  7. Initialize Repo & sync
    Code: 
    $ cd ~/android/system/
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
$ repo sync
  8. Add device files //possible sources on second post
    Code: 
    $ cd ~/android/system/device && mkdir samsung && cd samsung
$ git clone git://github.com/AriesVE-DevCon-TEAM/android_device_samsung_ariesve -b cm-10.1
  9. Add vendor files ////possible sources on second post
    Code: 
    $ cd ~/android/system/vendor && mkdir samsung && cd samsung
$ git clone git://github.com/ivendor/android_vendor_samsung_ariesve.git -b jellybean ariesve
  10. Prepare device specific code
    Code: 
    $ cd ~/android/system/
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch //choose -> cm_ariesve-userdebug
  11. Compile recovery
    Code: 
    make clobber && make -j[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR] recoveryimage  //[COLOR="Red"]#[/COLOR] CPU-Cores+1

I'll do my best :p.
In fact i hope that we can get more stability if more people know how to compile. Especially twrp has some interesting flags e.g. TARGET_PREBUILT_RECOVERY_KERNEL := path/to/kernel -- use to specify a kernel specifically for building recovery.

I would like to say that you can use CWM 5.5.0.4 for Gingerbread, ICS & Jellybean without any problems. Its more reliable than any other CWM or TWRP we have. :good:

Only the usage of the volume rockers for going up and down in the menü is a little bit annoying and not that good for the device.

    Has anyone explain for me this command ( make clobber && make -j# recoveryimage //# CPU-Cores+1 ). Thanks so much.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    make clobber && make -j# recoveryimage //# CPU-Cores+1
    make clobber - clean build directory
    make -j# recoveryimage - make cwm img where "#" is the number of jobs, usually 4
    //# CPU-Cores+1 argument - tells "make" command to use "#"+1 cpu cores.
    You can make cmw only with:
    Code: 
    make clobber && make -j4 recoveryimage

    fs.tab
    graphic.c
    recovery.img

    how to find this file in android or by pc, adb etc
    please I want too know that
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    you may find fstab and graphics.c and postboot in official repository of cyanogenmod for your device . or if you do'nt have CM for you device :

    fstab -> use adb in recovery and dump it from /etc/
    postboot -> use adb in recovery and dump it from /sbin/
    graphics.c : this has been compiled so you have to rewrite it or use the one from a device with exactly same framebuffer format .
