Re: [GUIDE][Ubuntu] Compiling Android from Source
That's a good question. On my first build (I've done two with two different source compiles), I also had permissions problems with the drivers. I manually changed the owner and the permissions in terminal to each and every file/folder and that seemed to solve it. "Sudo" itself did not and it really left me perplexed...

Re: [GUIDE][Ubuntu] Compiling Android from Source
I agree; a lot of this process, for better for worse, takes some ingenuity. For example, on the second compile I ran into about ~6 fetch errors when syncing source. The first one, which was done minutes after JBQ gave the go ahead? None. Originally Posted by nmyeti Former moderator & advisor.

UPDATE:
I updated the second post with git tag verification. Some guides have this, some don't, but I think it's a good step and I have decided to include it for those who want it.Former moderator & advisor.

I'm running into an permission denied issue. Any ideas? I'm also not seeing an option for a toro build.

Re: [GUIDE][Ubuntu] Compiling Android from Source
I had that happen on my first compile--try changing the permissions of the vendor folder or try using "sudo su." Originally Posted by cj100570

And then after typing that, I dragged and dropped each folder/file on each level of the /vendor folder. Thankfully, that worked. I'm sure there's a way to do it quicker and more efficiently (it was very late at night, so sue me
), but that worked for me.
EDIT: I'm a dummy, you can do this as well and it should work (my apologies
)
You can also change permissions with chmod instead of chown.sudo chown -R dmmarck /vendorfolderhereLast edited by dmmarck; 07-14-2012 at 07:38 PM.

Here's my video how-to. Didn't go as in-depth as this tutorial (it rocks), but its at least a visual for those that may need something more like a class. I have other videos on my channel as well (shameless plug). Feel free to insert video wherever you like. - 07-14-2012, 08:52 PM #36 Re: [GUIDE][Ubuntu] Compiling Android from Source

Can the OTA package just be flashed over stock ICS and not lose any data like a regular OTA update?

Dafuq did I just read?
I'd like to take this moment to thank all the people who do the hard work of building custom ROMs so I can just download a single file and select yes to install it.
Thank you for making my life easier.

what this method compiles isnt an ota, it's a rom from source. (d - correct me if i'm wrong this isnt my area of expertise at all). Originally Posted by ttk1opc

It should. I'm going to do a video tonight in a vmware installation on installing java, I'll test a build afterwards.

You could theoretically try installing this on top of a stock ROM, but I wouldn't even try it without a lot of free time, backup on the phone and on the computer (just in case you need to restore using a stock ICS image).

I wouldn't even risk it. Test it properly and wipe everything including system. Originally Posted by Andrew Ruffolo

I removed the recovery folder, removed the 2 lines from the updater script that contained the word "recovery", put the su apk in /system/app, and replaced the su executable in /system/xbin, and then rezipped the ota.
But when I tried to flash with cwm, installation aborted. So I tried Nexus Bean instead and that works fine. - 07-14-2012, 10:37 PMThread Author #49
The best way I've done it is simply editing within the zip. Originally Posted by dually
