[ROM] Gingerbread-2.3.4 (Codename Phoenix, released on 2011-10-20)

---

Hi @all,

This is a unofficial ROM of gingerbread for use in LG-P500 mobile devices.
NO Support by LG and after flashing you can't connect with this ROM to the LG PC-Suite for updates. If you want update a original firmware, u have to flash
a original ROM deployed by LG.

Please, do not ask when i release a build. If a build is ready to test, i upload the ROM and you'll see a download link in THIS post.
For general questions, please look here

ooh, nice to have someone interested of doing that!

It's nice to have some people interesting in developing a gingerbread custom rom for our optimus P500. I would help if i knew what you need. I don't know what you are talking about so... Sorry

Hi,

i'm talking about to bring up a gingerbread installtion to our mobile.
All what i have is a ready compiled android 2.3.1 without a kernel and without LG addons, there are (possibly) required to boot the phone to gingerbread.

i've tryed yesterday and today to boot with a mix from froyo, but this does not works - even if i disabled some hardware, the system needs some information from modules build by LG - it boots only when gingerbread is flashed over froyo without a complete wipe, nothing but the launcher is working

After a wipe, the system loops around while booting and bringe lot of permission errors in logcat.

Did you look in this thread : ?
There is a kernel and it could help you

Thank you dark-k, but i don't search a kernel but peoples they are interested to help building

i am not a dev but i know how linux works and i got a p500 so if u need help u can count with me buddy.

hi can you tell me how to i can compile a clean complete version of android without kernel?
thanks

How about this kernel? The dev says it's supposed to be compatible with any rom.

How to compile android 2.3.3:

1.) If you use a windows system, install VirtualBox 4.x and than Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition as guest OS (its the smallest version and is enough for compilings)

Attention: Android compiling requires lot of free space.
My Ubuntu virtual harddrives size is 30GB, partitions are 10GB, 512MB (SWAP) and 19.5GB. During install, mount the 10GB partition on /, the 19.5GB partition on /home.

1.1) Prepare user
to have easier system access, we act as root - so set a new password to root and change the current user:

sudo passwd root

Enter the new password to root and change user:

su -

1.2) change the shell to bash
Ubuntu 10.10 has a symlink in /bin/sh - this links not to the bash which is required by android to compile:

rm /bin/sh && ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

2.) Install required compilers and software:

apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf binutils libncurses5-dev xorg-dev git-core gnupg flex bison gperf zlib1g-dev

3.) Prepare home directory

mkdir -p /home/android/bin
cd /home/android

3.) Install JAVA
- Download latest java-1.6 (it's required by gingerbread to build java apps) from Oracle site:
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP...-CDS_Developer and select Linux (not Linux64!!!)

Copy file jdk-6u23-linux-i586.bin to /home/android and exec the file:

./jdk-6u23-linux-i586.bin

and type "yes" to accept the license.
After install, move the new directory to /usr/lib/jvm:

mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm && mv jdk1.6.0_23 /usr/lib/jvm
rm -rf jdk1.6.0_23

4.) Adopt JVM and user's bin path to all users env:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/android/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_23/bin' >> /etc/profile
echo 'export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_23' >> /etc/profile
echo 'export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME' >> /etc/profile
source /etc/profile

5.) Download Android 2.3.3

curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > bin/repo
chmod a+x bin/repo
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync

6.) Compiling Android 2.3.3
To build a final release on a 32bit machine, we must modify some files and use the target option "user" (default is "eng", which is only a debug build for the emulator).
Attention
following code must be run in root of your repo:

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch thunderg-user
make -j2

After a build time of 1-2 hours, we have in folder out/target/product/generic our images: system.img,ramdisk.img and userdata.img and in folder prebuild/linux-x86/toolchain our android arm-eabi to compile kernel and so on.

If any goes wrong, please post here - it's possible that i have forgot to post some...
