JDK

$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/jvm
$ cd ~/Downloads/
$ chmod +x jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
$ ./jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
$ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_45 /usr/lib/jvm/
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javac 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/java 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/jar 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javaws 1
$ java -version

Now a restart is recommended before installing git.


GIT

$ sudo apt-get install git
$ y

PYTHON

$ cd ~/Downloads/
$ tar -xzvf Python-2.7.5.tgz
$ cd Python-2.7.5/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make altinstall

GNU

$ cd ~/Downloads/
$ tar -zxvf make-3.82.tar.gz
$ cd make-3.82
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

[Do not use make 4.0]

OTHER PACKAGES

sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32stdc++6


ANDROID SDK

$ mkdir ~/development
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ tar -zxvf android-sdk_r22.2.1-linux.tgz
$ mv ~/Downloads/android-sdk-linux ~/development/



SETUP ADB/FASTBOOT

$ cd ~/development/android-sdk-linux/tools
$ ./android



SDK Path: Tools (Tick All)

Extras (Tick All)

[This process will take time depending upon the internet bandwidth]

$ sudo gedit .bashrc (ignore the error)


Now paste this at the end of the file:

#Android PATHS
export PATH=$PATH:~/development/android-sdk-linux/tools
export PATH=$PATH:~/development/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

Save the file.

Now in a terminal window type


$ adb
$ fastboot

Both commands shows list of attributes.

Connected Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (I8552) to Workstation through USB Cable.

$ adb devices

Successfully Shows Device Number (Device is attached).

You are done!

The intention of this thread is to help newbies step by step to become an entry level developer so each one can contribute their ideas and opinions inspired by hands on experiment so as to share and increase the vast knowledge of Android

How To Create CyanogenMod For Galaxy Grand Quattro

Before I start writing this tutorial please visit the following website:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

Here look for Model Number MSM8225 (Snapdragon S4).

Galaxy Grand Quattro use this CPU.

Also you can visit : http://system-on-a-chip.findthebest.com/l/265/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-MSM8225

Note that Samsung Galaxy Core GT-I8262 uses the same processor.

After careful observation I found that Galaxy S Blaze 4G (Codename t769) is one of the Samsung product (Though different CPU used, MSM8260) whose CM 11.0 is created successfully and it is a stable release.

Fell free to visit : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_t769

Give special importance to 'helpful tip' and 'note'.

A 32bit latest Ubuntu Linux version is recommended.

We all knew that our device code is I8552.

Hopefully with a decent internet connection (4 Mbps recommended) and 50 GB Hard Disc space for a VM enthusiastic person will be able to build the CyanogenMod for Galaxy Grand Quattro.

If needed before repo sync one can take help of my earlier posts.

Do not use any device tree created by others (with all respect to them). You can create the tree alone.

Tips: The Kernel of an OS heavily depends on the CPU architecture and Motherboard used.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

Vikas,

You are welcome to show developments in Windows. In-fact personally I feel that we can approach mass if Window is used as the development platform as newbies are much more accustomed with Window OS.

Also let me share my plan for this tutorial.

I started with ADB, the first step to connect Android based Smartphones to any OS based Workstation where Android environment is created. Then I discussed about Repo, the prime base for Android development.

Now the future plans are as following:

1. How to built a Device Tree for any new devices.
2. How to built CWM.
3. How to built Cyanogen Mod.
4. Tutorial about Eclipse.
5. Android Kitchen Setup.
6. Building Custom ROM.

The only condition is that all these steps must be shown in details for newbies in a step by step approach and it must be a generalized approach so that any devices developement can be done through these set of tutorials.

Don't rely on Arnav. He is the biggest noob you will ever get. He hasn't made a kernel yet. Let alone a rom.

Now, what help do you guys need with the recovery? I just saw the message you left in my thread.

Edit : Please tag me in one response when replying.
