[Q] Build Paranoid Android unofficially from source on HTC Desire?

[topgeardave]

Hey guys. I have a HTC Desire which is unsupported by Paranoid Android on it's list of supported devices.
Seeing as I've only got my feet wet in the world of android development by building CM from source.
I now want to build Paranoid Android from source on my HTC Desire. Seeing as it is unsupported from PA I have downloaded the PA source and I now need to merge it with the Evervolv source as the Evervolv source is the one built for Jellybean to work on the Desire!

Thanks for your help guys!

There's instructions on paranooid androids website or github...I don't remember which one....

Basically you sync paranoid android source then you add your device tree/proprietary/kernel

Then you build

It's the same process as cyanogenmod except you use PA source instead of CM source

This. Assuming they are setup like most other Android distros, you just pull their source, grab a device/proprietary folder for you device and you are good to go. You will of course need to fix any issues that arise while compiling but that is where you should start.

Thanks guys! You're the best! I'll try it and if I have any problems compiling I'll let you know

What would I do once I've cloned all necessary device files?

Hey guys, I've merged the cm10 files needed to get it compiling. When I tried compiling I've got this error whilst building. Any help would be much appreciated

Is your device support by CM9/in development for CM10? Can you add the inline kernel building feature? Also double check all the paths/filenames involved here to make sure they are valid.

It's not supported by CM themselves but another Dev has compiled it from source and I have cloned his repositories. Where can I place a kernel source inside my PA source? In the htc/bravo folder? And how can I add the inline kernel building feature?

Look at a currently supported device for details I'm how to do it, or maybe lithid can help you here. I currently don't have access to all my crap though, so I can't get the information. Have you checked to make sure your kernel is named appropriately and in the correct location? Even though it's deprecated that method should work.

Oh right ok, I'll try and ask a few HD2 devs on how they managed to build it from source. And how should I name the kernel source?

You can name the folder whatever you want, it just needs to match whatever you put into your BoardConfig.Mk.

You'll need to add the following lines to is:
# Kernel Config
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := path/to/your/kernel
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := your_config_defconfig

Thanks mate, I'll try that as soon as I get home as I'm at work at the moment. If I face any other problems, I'll let you guys know

I ran into that problem as well trying to compile PA for the Rezound, and it was just I had the kernel folder named wrong. I had to change /pa/kernel/htc/vigor to /pa/kernel/htc/vigor-3.0 but now Im running into more problems.
