Okay so fare, so good. But question is this the "V" repo that Jerry posted about in the second post?

I'm also trying to figure out how to get my build tree synced back in time (say, to N days ago). But I'm enough of a git noob that I can't figure it out. I have a script that parses manifest.xml and runs through all the directories but I don't know the command to sync the git tree.

If you look in manifest.xml for CM9, for example, you will see the default revision is "refs/heads/ics". So let's take the first project entry, which is "build". It uses the default so...

$ cd build
$ git checkout refs/heads/ics
error: pathspec 'refs/heads/ics' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git show-ref | grep ics
569e20838ebaf6e7ce1fc517602a9976e67f6e1c refs/remotes/github/ics
569e20838ebaf6e7ce1fc517602a9976e67f6e1c refs/remotes/m/ics

So .. uhh .. where is "refs/heads/ics" and how do I sync to it?

I don't use the method often, but you can use git revert HEAD^^^ with the number of ^ equal to the number of commits you want to go back minus 1 (revert HEAD goes back one).

Thanks but I want a time based checkout. I know the syntax:

git checkout ...@{time}

My issue is finding the branch/tag or whatever. :/

Think I know why I'm having problems; the wireless card disconnects after a while. Is there a better Linux driver for the Realtek Wireless? I'm running 64bit Linux-Mint if that matters.

Only does this on Linux, in Windows the card works great.

OIC, couldn't you grep git log?

And what happens to commit history, merges, etc, if you checkout a previous date and then attempt to go forward with future merges?

I'm going to have to do some reading...

Type lspci -v in terminal and post the output for your wireless lan controller. We need to know the chipset it's using and we might find a better driver..

I think so as long as you use a git that supports it.

So I've finally had time to start up on the ROM building again, and I keep running into the stupidest problem. I forked the "android" and "android_vendor_cyanogen" repos and kept the rest pointing to IHO in the default.xml.

I changed PRODUCT_RELEASE_NAME in products/cyanogen_thunderc.mk from "IHO" to "something15525" and went to go make a build....it built fine, but the finished product zip is called:

update-CM-7.2.0-RC1-thunderc_LS670-KANG-signed.zip

shouldn't it be:

update-CM-7.2.0-RC1-something15525-KANG-signed.zip?

One more thing:

When I flashed it, I went to check the mod version, and it said:

CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-thunderc_LS670-KANG

Shouldn't the "thunderc_LS670" be "something15525"?

This is getting me really frustrated that I can't get past this simple problem and I was hoping someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the change: https://github.com/something15525/android_vendor_cyanogen/commit/e186ec8da6349b88df1f5dc4f3329530a688c7ce

Only so got repo to finally sync and now after selecting VM670 I got this.

[SIZE="2"]/bin/bash: prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-gcc: No such file or directory[/SIZE]

 

[KingPenguin]

Is it just me, or is the Wiki link in the OP broken?

 

[JerryScript]

Yeah, it's now under thunderc_common/wiki, Blarf had to reorganize the repository to prepare for attempted inclusion into CM.

question.. i added magpie apps2sd-ext into iho, everything seems fine, except i can't get the ext partition to mount... isnt that what 05mountsd does? or am i missing something?

 

[EarthnFire78]

For anyone that is using 64bit Linux Mint they need to do the following in Terminal.

[SIZE="2"]sudo apt-get install ia32-libs[/SIZE]

It is need for the repo to work right and to even build ROMS, plus adb well not work without those 32bit packages either.

Check your logcat to see if it's being mounted. How is your partition formatted?
