Good thread, you should add this information to the Wiki.

Hey there,
Long time reader, first time poster.

I had an idea that relates to Location and Security. In particular, the unlock patterns.
Ok, so what if we could set multiple unlock patterns (or PINs, Password etc.). Each new pattern, you could assign a function. So, you could have a pattern to jump straight to compose an SMS. Or, another unlock pattern to go straight to your music player.
I went as far as installing the SDK, but haven't been overly successful in attempting to complete any code whatsoever. I'm confident that I could do it, but, just need to be pointed in the right direction.

Regards, heardamir

That is undeed a really good idea.

CM could implement that easly I think.

Agreed. I do believe this exists in some form already in cyanogenmod 6.1. It wasn't an "unlock pattern," rather gestures in the lockscreen you could define in settings. Not sure if this helps or not

JBQ has just pushed an update to the "official" build instructions at http://source.android.com/source/download.html

lol....here we go again:

Honeycomb SDK

Rusty! · Jan 28, 2011

SDK is not AOSP.

Hi, can you add some tutorial about how to add root permission to AOSP? Thanks

^^^ That is how I managed to do it on froyo. The info is a little dated, so you'll need to replace "eclair" with "gingerbread", but I believe it should still work.

Basically, here's how you'd do it:

1. You need to clone ChainsDD's Superuser.apk into your source tree

Code:

cd ~/android/system/packages/apps
git clone -b gingerbread http://github.com/chainsdd/android_packages_apps_Superuser.git Superuser

2. Next, you need to disable the original su binary from being built. In a console/terminal, type

Code:

gedit ~/android/system/system/extras/su/Android.mk

Then replace all text in the file with this

Code:

ifeq ($(BUILD_ORIGINAL_SU),true)

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_SRC_FILES:= su.c

LOCAL_MODULE:= su

LOCAL_FORCE_STATIC_EXECUTABLE := true

LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := libc

LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_OUT_OPTIONAL_EXECUTABLES)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := debug

include $(BUILD_EXECUTABLE)

endif

That's it. Superuser.apk and su binary are included in every build after.

Thanks for the contribution, I'll post it in the op soon.

Understood...could've picked a better thread to post that. Appologies

mordokak · Feb 6, 2011

Since http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/RomManager.apk is down (get-romanager script), compiling cm7 will fail if you dont allready have RomManager.apk downloaded, therefore you'll get this error.

Code:

make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/cyanogen/proprietary/RomManager.apk', needed by `out/target/product/passion/system/app/RomManager.apk'.  Stop.

To solve it, just place RomManager.apk in /vendor/cyanogen/proprietary folder, and compile

(you can get RomManager.apk here http://www.multiupload.com/HZID4H1XL0)

I feel like I should already know this...

So you get synced up, and you get a few builds under your belt and now you want to start dabbling in editing some of the source files. What is the recommended way to do that? I have had a couple builds that didn't go so well, so I wanted to start over but I couldn't find a repo command that would not only sync, but replace any changed files.

I read a little bit on "branches" at source.android.com, but I'm afraid I didn't exactly follow....is that what I'm looking for?

Thanks

Rusty! · Feb 25, 2011

Well the sources are basically text files, so fire them up in gedit and change values to suit.

Assuming this is what you meant and I haven't got the wrong end of the stick

Hi Rusty

No that's not what I meant, but that's my fault for not describing it better. Ill try again....I've found myself in a position where I've made several changes to the source code (camera experiments, adding other stuff to the build, etc) and after all is said and done i end up scrapping the build, and want to start over. What's the best way to replace he files I edited with new ones and sync?

What I have done a few times is just toss my prior working folder and start a new one, but I know there's got to be a better way

Jack_R1 · Feb 27, 2011

I believe you can just erase the files you've modified and don't want to keep, and execute "repo sync" again.

To the OP: the direct links to battery percentage scripts from Lenny don't work anymore.

elegos · Mar 1, 2011

May you please update the rooting part? It seems it won't work anymore, as I don't find both su executable and Superuser.apk in my final system (no errors though besides some strings I had to reformat).

gerard_f · Mar 1, 2011

Hi all, I have a question.
I have compiled a master anroid branch with the dferreira tutorial.
How can I add the (for example) trackball wake mod in the stock aosp ROM?
Thankssss

ardatdat · Mar 1, 2011

Feel free to add my AOSP PureGinger Kernel:

Apart from the existing kernel, I am planning to build a new 2.6.37 kernel
