[DEV] Building AOSP for the Streak

---

OK so I noticed there isn't exactly a lot of development for the Streak, personally I don't like butchering existing roms, I would rather build from source, this is what I do for the HTC Desire and is hopefully what I intend to do for the Dell Streak.

Android has been built from source for a variety of devices within the XDA community so why not the Dell Streak? Well this is where I am hoping to change things.

I've started work on a vendor so we can build Android from source for the Streak.

My work is available here

If anybody else has experience and wants to contribute please let me know.

I estimate its about 80% complete at the moment and I'm hoping to get it provisionally finished by tonight or tomorrow, and then I will try and build Eclair as a first.

I'm trying a froyo build for the Streak now, wifi and bluetooth will probably be broke initially but I'm hoping that the graphics, sound and radioif will be ok.

Brilliant news! Let us know how it goes!

cool, a few of us have been trying with the codearoura git.

there's issues with building a valid boot.img and it looks like the 1,6 kernel is a mashup of various ones..

I think its time to start applying pressure to Dell to get them to release the source code now..

AdamG, I am using your custom ROM on HTC desire and its awesome. I'm really glad that you are gonna be working on Rom for dell streak which I'm getting in few days time.
Your work is awesome. Thank-you.

I wouldn't recommend using the codeaurora git, the people who work on that submit most of the patches to gerrit, so the AOSP git contains most of the enhancements of codeaurora.

Dell should of released the kernel long ago, all other major vendors have done it and I don't see what makes them any different.

Everything would be fine if Dell released their damn kernel source (like their lawfully required to)
Regardless, i'm looking forward to your work Adam! I'm having ROM-flash-withdrawal symptoms
