Building your own ROM

When i boot into ubuntu,there is a black screen with 3 different options. 1. Ubuntu 3.0.0.12 wich take me to a purple login screen. 2. Same but with recovery mode at the end. 3. Says windows xp bios boot screen. Im going to try again rightnow. Would really like some help from someone.
Went to the first option,i got a puple login screen. I put my username and password in,and still got a purple screen with cursor arrow on it. No luck now,got to go back to work,try later.
you might have to reinstall the ubuntu. when I tried to use that junk, it took forever to start up after login, probably because of the ridiculous amount of services it starts in the background. it just sits on the purple screen for a while, then makes some noise and goes to the desktop.
maybe log in and wait a few minutes to see if it gets past the purple screen of apparent death.

Switch to classic login, Unity interface has lots of problems.
Many are switching to Mint instead of Ubuntu over it.

Not within Windows itself, but you can install Wubi (Ubuntu for Windows), which intalls on a virtual partition so you don't have to manually partition your drive. This also means uninstalling is as simple as running the uninstall from add/remove programs in the control panel. See my instructions, post #3 of this thread.
I think the easiest & free route is install VMware Player 4.0.1 & download the Ubuntu .iso. Then partition 40 GB from your windows 7 64-bit OS, then you can use your windows computer like normal, and build & run Linux in a window.
When you sync with IHO, you will be at 7.2
There isn't much difference, it's a matter of CM saying this codebase is stable enough to be considered release. IHO is built from the current source, not the stable release. This means we have the latest bug fixes and code improvements, and any updates to the system/gui.
Just a quick FYI-
If you create a new fork of certain CM repos now, you will have to change the default branch according to your needs, some now default to ICS in github. This confused me when browsing source files recently on github (I find it's sometimes faster to browse on github than to open files in a text editor).
I am currently trying to clean up my repository and add the change I've made to BACKside. I thought I was looking at gingerbread source, and was confused by what I thought were new commits merged by CM. In fact I was browsing with ICS as the default branch after forking anew to prepare my own repo. Lost about 4 hours of work trying to fix up my repo for public use, because it never had any errors until I tried to do a repo sync from it, lesson learned.
To change the default branch in your own github repository, click on the repository in question, then click the admin button, then change the branch in the drop down menu to whichever branch you want.

I know everyone is busy trying to get ICS working, just wanted to give a headsup about a recent CM commit that breaks the video camera recording. It's a revert of the commit that fixed it in the first place, so just revert the revert and you should be good to go.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I've been through the first 15 pages and couldn't find anything on it.
Question is: Has anyone built in Arch Linux with any success?
If not i'll have to take a hit on Ubuntu.

haven't tried that flavor.
actually had problems learning to build kernels with the old recommended Ubuntu (10.04 i think) so i migrated to debian squeeze. that was before trying to build android.
i've successfully built iho with squeeze but have never tried Ubuntu to build android.

I tried Arch, if I remember right, it's missing several dependencies not addressed with the guides here, but I didn't dive into troubleshooting it.
Jerry, I think it was Ubuntu 11 that was problematic (and possibly the last 10.x).
Using the classic interface on 11 fixes some of the problems.
Regardless, you pretty much have to go through every page of this guide and still struggle to get a working build box at this point even with Ubuntu 10 or 11 (at least for me). Every time I got mine going again after we lost kernel.org it lasted about 3 days before another problem arose. I gave up for now, it's simply not worth the hassle.

Thanks for the info... Im gonna start setting up and see what dependencies are still missing. I'll list out the dependencies from Ubuntu and see where I can go.
At this point I have all the (most) of the libraries set up.
Gave up on Arch.
