Building your own ROM

[tdm]

Sun Java 6 isn't working with Ubuntu now. There was some licensing issue I heard. You can still get it from other sources. Just not from sun. If you Google it, you will find one somewhere. I will try to find the one I used later on

I created deb packages and left them on LesleAnn's build server in /usr/local/src. Just copy and install them. If you don't have a login, I can toss them somewhere for download.

im getting repo command not found

root@alexandra-desktop:~/android/system# repo init -u git://github.com/inferiorhumanorgans/android.git -b gingerbread
No command 'repo' found, did you mean:
 Command 'rep' from package 'rep' (universe)
 Command 'repl' from package 'nmh' (universe)
 Command 'repl' from package 'mailutils-mh' (universe)
repo: command not found

Jerry's curl stopped working when kernel.org got hacked do this and rebooted after chmod just to be safe
sudo curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > /bin/repo
sudo chmod a+x /bin/repo

That should get your repo working, I'm a little rusty sorry if I'm wrong

If it synced, you'll see the Android file tree in the folder you synced to.

Looks like you may have a problem with repo init. While you have the folder open that you did the repo init command in, press cntrl+h. You should see a .repo folder (starts with a period). Delete that folder and do repo init again. Then do repo sync

i followed your placing direc tions on the orgional post i cant find the folder anywhere?

 

[JerryScript]

When you run repo init, you are in a directory. It creates a hidden folder called .repo, to see it you have to press cntrl+h when viewing the folder on your desktop (not in the terminal window).

It looks like you have your build setup in the root folder. " repo initialized in /root/android/system". That's not a good place to put it. I'm on my way to work now, so no time. If you don't get it by the time I get home I'll try to help.

This is correct. Do not sudo or gain root access because it just doesn't work. Your probably going to have to go through everything again WITHOUT having root access. Hope this helps

[jack454]

I'm willing to try to help. Where did you put the android sdk folder when you extracted it?

 

[cammykool]

[jack454]

Ok Let me know when you get it.

 

[LeslieAnn]

Android SDK is kinda important. LOL

 

[cammykool]

extracted it to the home folder no avail

 

[rukin5197]

extracted it to the home folder no avail

Try doing it through terminal

sudo tar xf /your/file/path /extration/path/here

I made my sdk path in /android/sdk

 

[jack454]

What? You can't get it to extract?
