Compiling Android versions and kernel to Tattoo

[filipepferraz]

Anyone knows where can I find informations about to compile CyanogenMod and kernel for Tattoo from source or other packages already configured for Tattoo? I want to help working in camera and FM development. I have a little experience in Linux, beagleboard and arm7 (lpc2368) programming, maybe I can help, but at first I need to learn the basics to help the working in camera and FM drivers. Sorry about my bad english. I have a lot o time disponible to help.

Take a look at CyanogenMod Wiki: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/wiki-page

I cannot find informations about the compilation process in HTC Tattoo. Can I use the process of wildfire as example?

The procedure is basically the same for all phones. You will need a vendor specific config for the Tattoo though. You can use mine from git if you want.

Thanks. I will try to compile your repository for learning. I need to download the android sdk for compile or just the 3 sources?

Follow the instructions in the CM wiki, and you will get the whole build environment, everything that's needed to compile. You will also need to download my files, either as a zip from github, or use git to clone it. And then put it in where the other phone vendor configs are - device/htc for HTC phones. Just poke around a bit and you'll understand it eventually. Takes a while to get familiar with how things work, what is where etc, so don't expect to master it in one day.

@arco: a little question, can I compile a rom and use your kernel without recompile it? I have a celeron processor and need 1 hr and half to compile a kernel

If you need one hour for kernel, Cyanogen will take 1 day. But yes, arco has kernel precompiled in his git

1,5 hours to compile the kernel? Takes about 5 minutes for me, and building the whole CM sources takes about 0,5 hours. I have an i5 [email protected], using 3 cores in an 64-bit Ubuntu Virtualbox environment.

There is any book about the android porting? I'm really confused about all the process necessary to work with the files. I never used git before, as I understanded it download just the modificated files right?
