Building your own ROM

[thewraith420]

hmm well i've uploaded my build off jerrys github to mediafire. if anyone can help me figure out why i dont have radio functions, check it out. everything seems to work but the radio functions..

I read the OP and It makes sense to me as i am a linux user, but, once you actually create the rom, how would modify it and such? and how would you port a rom to the OV? like ICS, MIUI, or sense or something? links would be appreciated sorry If someone already posted this, I must of missed it :0

Well to modify the rom, you change the code that you compile and what files are or are not included, then you compile and you have your modified rom. As for porting... that's entirely different since source code is normally not included. Both gannon and theunknownartist have guides on porting.

Ohhhh okay :0 I think I'll try porting since there are guides to it XD anyways, I've been looking around for the porting guides but I couldnt find them could you please shoot me a link?

EDIT: I jusr found the search button for the forums XD nevermind, thank you though

All I can really say in the meantime is that Jerry's post on the first page works, as long as you eliminate the steps for 64 bit machines if you're developing on 32 bit. If you're having trouble during the repo sync, try lowering the -j number. If you are getting random errors when compiling and haven't made any changes, re-sync and try again.

Believe me, I know how you feel, I finally have a clean build (thanks to tvall!) but modifying anything flying totally blind has gotten very frustrating.

 

[thewraith420]

errr... extremely frustrated... about to break laptop over my knee and give up... no matter what i try: directions from op, other scripts, various other googlefu trys... cannot seem to make any progress... is there ANY up to date, step by step guide to build for the ov?... please forgive me... ill keep trying... thanks to everyone who has helped!...

Where do you get stuck?

i would suggest, to rule out issues with your setup, building from another dev's repo (bobzhome's, pure iho, mine, or another)

For anyone that gets the "waiting for unfinished job error 1.

Run this command in Terminal

[SIZE="3"]sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
  zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
  libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 \
  g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown \
  libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386[/SIZE]

Before starting the envsetup.sh, from the directory that you are building in, run "make clean" first then

. build/envsetup.sh.

AH SUCCESS @ LAST!!!...
finally figured out what was going on...
syncing now...
big THANKS to blarf, jerry, bob, tdm, tvall, sellers, anthony, pbaily, cole, wraith, and anyone im forgetting for the help they offered when i needed it...
sooooo relieved... lol
THANK YOU ALL!

 

[EarthnFire78]

im about to attempt to lunch... do i select vm670-eng or vm670-userdebug?... Anyone...

If you did not make any changes select vm670 or the changes you made were simple changing out the .png's. Use debugging if your made code changes that you testing out, or are unsure if the coding is right.

 

[EarthnFire78]

Well now I'm back to my old issue. I can get a working build with apparently no radio functions Click to view quoted image

I've made no changes just sync with Jerrys github and make bacon so it should work...

Try installing these files, after installing them I get no errors besides coding errors that I made.

i think i got hung up... this is what it finished with... i didnt see a .zip in /thunderc_VM670... do i need to compress these files and make the .zip myself?... or try to build again with -userdebug?... i chose -eng this time... thanks for any help... glad ive made it this far!...

Well you don't need to use the userdebug one I'd give it another shot and if it give the same error... I'd guess somethings up with your java jdk...

tab should bring it to "ok" and close it.

maybe control K+X will exit it.

 

[clodfelterac]

I was getting a build setup going again a couple months ago and I had the same problem, I figured it just didn't install properly or my pos computer, so I uninstalled all of vmware and started it all over from scratch again and still couldn't get the same prompt to go away. Do I feel stupid now after seeing it was something so simple.

Just wanted to thank everyone on this thread that has given advice. I've been following for a coulpe of weeks. (I'm a slow learner)lol And didn't think I would ever figure it out . But tonight I built my first rom following these instructions. Like "Earthfire78" said Linux mint requires some packages that ubuntu already have I guess. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks. Hope to keep following and learning!

Ok now I have a new problem. Forgive me if this has already been covered but I've searched for two days to no avail! I recently upgraded to mint 13(Maya) l have Java 1.7 so I get this error, (need Java 1.6). I've tried every way to get 1.6 with no luck. Can anyone direct me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. Sorry noob here.lol

Edit: I'm pretty sure I don't have the correct repository in my source. List

I think that's like only the second time I've been mentioned in a post

 

[pbailey212]

You have to get sun java6 from a different source, I can't remember if I used lucid or multiverse or both:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
// or
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse"

Use this to get java6, Java 7 won't work.
