How to compile AOSP for Nexus 5?

bariz143 · Apr 17, 2014

Hi guys after many years i have decided to make my own AOSP source build.

I have googled it and tried many but im getting stuck on every one. All the guides on google is different from each other and its quite anoying.
Many are for other devices to. Would love to find one for Hammerhead.

Someone who managed to build a aosp source build with one guide ??

I have looked at some youtube videos to but i get acces denid on some parts and fetching issues and so on.

Would appreciate if someone could point me to right direction.

And im running UBUNTU 12.04 LTS as OS and not in Virtual Box

Best regards.

How are going to compile a rom if you can't read the stickies that say not to post questions in the general forum?

Here's a great guide by reddevil.

I tried that but it got stuck in fetching the repo. tried re sync the repo like 15 times. always stuck on the same place

12.04 is what most people use to build so that's not it. It could be your build environment. What is it failing on when you repo sync?

It just stops after 30 min when im doing a repo sync. I tried to stop repo sync with ctrl+z and restart but it just stop at exactly same place

Strange. Could it be your ISP cutitng you off for excessive bandwidth? Have you tried syncing any other repos? CM, DU, PA? Just to see if they finish or not?

I have no idea how old that guide is but I'd just follow the guide for hammerhead from CM themselves:

If you're talking about repo sync getting stopped. That's because of your Internet connection being slow or the github servers being loaded or you might have not set the correct j flag..

Which processor/ram so you have? Try something like: repo sync -j4 (where 4 indicates the number of threads used)

Repo sync -f -j4

I was having the same problem 2 days ago.This may sound dumb but I actually speed tested my connection and found my modem was failing on me and my tower was lava melting hot.I had my ISP replace my modem and I got 2 new fans now things are smooth.

bariz143 · Apr 17, 2014

Hmm sounds interesting but i think its me doing something wrong. Will look and see how it went with sync when i get home
