Tired of using someone else wrapped up Android OS? If you are like me, you probably would like to take control over what you are using on your device. There isn't any Market or any Google Applications on this. This is intended for developing applications and have a working phone using the latest Android OS for HTC Magic/Sapphire's.
The recommended system for downloading and compiling Android OS from source (AOSP - Android Open-Source Project) is Ubuntu. I have a Mac with Snow Leopard, so I use VirtualBox to run a virtual machine that has Ubuntu installed on it. Once you have Ubuntu installed on the virtual machine, you need to prepare it so that you can download and compile successfully AOSP.
First, make sure your OS is up-to-date, by running the Update Manager from the System>Administration menu. Once that is completed, go to Applications>Accessories and open Terminal.
Type this command to install all the needed libraries (this is all one line) - Ubuntu 10.04 64Bits:
Type this command to install all the needed libraries (this is all one line) - Ubuntu 32Bits (thanks to Szusz!):
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines on the end:
Prepare the OS to run Java 5.0, which is the only compatible Java version for compiling. Recent versions of Ubuntu don't need this step (10.04+).
Fix a dependency with X11 (64Bits):
Fix a dependency with X11 (32Bits):
That's it for the Operative system. Now the tool that Google uses to control the source files is Repo. To install type this:
Now to download the source files, compile etc, all you need to do is to copy this text to a file in Ubuntu (to create one, just type "gedit android.sh"):
Save the file and make it executable with:
To run it, just type:
That's it! Now just follow the instructions. It should ask for your name, email and then later to what device are you compiling. The script that you put on the text file is meant for Sapphire, so you should choose option that has sapphire on it, US version or EU version, with ENG on it, which will make the compiled OS with root access.
In the end, you'll have a set of .img files, ready to be installed on your device.
Using your favourite recovery, wipe everything before flashing the OS and then boot into fastboot. I'm pretty sure that if you really want to compile your own OS, you already know how to use fastboot. But anyway:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Reboot your device and enjoy your own OS.
If you run into trouble, let me know.
Some fixes you might be interested:
Enable JIT on DalvikVM
Edit dalvik/vm/Android.mk
Edit vendor/htc/sapphire/BoardConfigVendor.mk
Add support for audio+video recording on camera
Another property that needs to be active: Thanks to Jubeh
If you want to run this on 32A's, you need to replace the kernel for a 32A one and you should be good to go.
Fix the prelinks issues. Make sure to make a backup of the file (build/core/prelink-linux-arm.map) because I'm almost sure it will get officially fixed in the future.

AOSP FROYO 2.2 v3.1
v3.1 - thanks to Jack for debugging it!
- Bootanimation is working!
- Wifi + Kernel from Cyanogen, as mine went boggus and I can't test it if it works without a device.
- Full APN list
- Known bugs: camera onscreen controls do FC sometimes. Switching from camera to camcorder works, but fc when reverting back.
v3
- Live wallpapers support.
- Sound recorder is now visible to the user to use.
- All available languages are included.
- Fixed missing sound files.
- Cyanogen's camera fixes are included. Really a pleasure to learn from what he has done!
v2.1
- Fixed camera - Use v2 and replace the boot.img with this one
What's on it:
v2
- Fixed GPS (was missing gps.conf + libgps.so was being allocated to wrong prelink).
- Fixed all prelink errors by mapping all the libraries to the correct mmap banks (edited build/core/prelink-linux-arm.map).
- Replaced Gallery3D (not complete at sources) by old enhanced Gallery (multitouch working!)
- Added the Text-To-Speech libraries from source (got those from sdk.mk)
- Fixed missing sounds (Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg in OriginalSounds.mk)
- Camera still not working, but now we don't have a prelink error, so should be fixable by replacing liboemcamera.so by one that works - maybe Cyanogen's??)
- Bootanimation still not working... (i've looked into it and I can't figure out why it doesn't!)
v1
- AOSP 2.2 Froyo
- WiFi + Kernel 2.6.32 up and running.
- 3D Drivers
- JIT + JIT JSC enabled
- Multi-touch zoom on browser
Doesn't work:
- No boot animation, screen stays blank while booting but you can check it out using "adb logcat"
- Camera
- Gallery has missing mdpi graphics, I'll fix it later

AOSP FROYO 2.2 v3.1
v3.1 - thanks to Jack for debugging it!
- Bootanimation is working!
- Wifi + Kernel from Cyanogen, as mine went boggus and I can't test it if it works without a device.
- Full APN list
- Known bugs: camera onscreen controls do FC sometimes. Switching from camera to camcorder works, but fc when reverting back.
v3
- Live wallpapers support.
- Sound recorder is now visible to the user to use.
- All available languages are included.
- Fixed missing sound files.
- Cyanogen's camera fixes are included. Really a pleasure to learn from what he has done!
v2.1
- Fixed camera - Use v2 and replace the boot.img with this one
What's on it:
v2
- Fixed GPS (was missing gps.conf + libgps.so was being allocated to wrong prelink).
- Fixed all prelink errors by mapping all the libraries to the correct mmap banks (edited build/core/prelink-linux-arm.map).
- Replaced Gallery3D (not complete at sources) by old enhanced Gallery (multitouch working!)
- Added the Text-To-Speech libraries from source (got those from sdk.mk)
- Fixed missing sounds (Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg in OriginalSounds.mk)
- Camera still not working, but now we don't have a prelink error, so should be fixable by replacing liboemcamera.so by one that works - maybe Cyanogen's??)
- Bootanimation still not working... (i've looked into it and I can't figure out why it doesn't!)
v1
- AOSP 2.2 Froyo
- WiFi + Kernel 2.6.32 up and running.
- 3D Drivers
- JIT + JIT JSC enabled
- Multi-touch zoom on browser
Doesn't work:
- No boot animation, screen stays blank while booting but you can check it out using "adb logcat"
- Camera
- Gallery has missing mdpi graphics, I'll fix it later
