Hi, has anyone managed to get ADB working with Jelly Bean? I'm running CM10 and I can't seem to get ADB working. I've downloaded the drivers from the SDK but windows still says it can't find the driver, even when I manually specify where the driver is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
Try 1wayjonny's Universal Naked Drivers over in his thread in the dev section. It's the best. Be sure to remove all traces of the old drivers first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Do you have a adb debugging enabled on the phone? CM10 has this disabled by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
And I'll add adb works when you are on booted and when you are on recovery.

Adb does not work on bootloader, fastboot works on bootloader.

Even today, a friend of mine installed the naked drivers, started adb, device found

I watched him as he did it, guiding him through the commands to push, reboot recovery, the works, and Windows 7 pulled it quite well.

I don't use windows at home, but he did it without troubles at all.

So yeah. ADB has been around for ages, and it will be coming back.

And it's the second proof I see: most of these so called issues with drivers, should be handled on <insert host OS here> forums and not on xda. Most of times, users just don't get it.

DO not use fastboot.

To install these leaks put them on your External SD card, and boot into Motorola Recovery. From there select "Install Update from External Storage " or something along those lines.

Remember my warnings... there may not be a chance of going back if you use these.

so, my problom is:

1. power button doesn't work everywhere!

2. in Fastboot: power button and valume buttons don't work and should remove battery! (and I can't rebooting with fastboot cmd)

I wanted to put a list together to compare results of build times (PLEASE, no fan boys here!). The more info you can list, the better visibility is into the amount of time it takes. I'll start with my machine, what I built and how long it took.

The important parts are processor, ram, operating system, what android os you built, any tweaks you used, and if you have a ssd hdd. And, of course total time! I will list mine in a format for easy reading:

-Sony vaio vgn-nr110

-2gb of ram at 533mhz (upgraded :D)

-Intel pentium dual core t2310 processor

-running ubuntu at the time. I want to say it was version 10.04(been a while)

-no ssd. Regular laptop hdd

-built cm7 for Optimus s

-used the -j4 flag on make

=approx 4-6 hours (was cleaning while it ran because I knew it would take some time)

Mine was a full build/compile from scratch. Please state whether yours is or isn't, and if you used any special tweaks, etc. Do not include sync time in the total time as that is dependent on the Internet connection and not the machine itself (most people won't, but wanted to have it in here just in case)

My purpose behind this is to get a good idea of what type of system specs perform best with building android roms. If there are any tweaks or tricks that anyone would like to contribute, that would be great too! Please try to stick to the format that I have listed for my machine to make it easier for everyone to read. :)

As a treat: I will have more results for everyone in a week or two on a new machine.

Amd X2, 2 gb ram, 1tb hdd... Build time 4-5 hours, for cm9 for sprint sgs2, and 3-4 hours cm7
[Android] justlovejoy:
Asus i5 normal HDD 8GB ram

cm9= 65 - 75 min _ simple mka bacon no -j

Cna = 75 - 90 min _ simple mka squish no -j

Aokp = 65-75 min _ simple mka bacon no -j

I try to not have anything else open not even file browser or chrome (usually it will add twenty to forty extra minutes if it's on) although these are my best estimate numbers, time results vary. I use cache and restart Ubuntu before building to let it take the lead over everything else. Building while the PC has been active for over a day seems to always take longer. Aokp has been the record holder for me. Slightly quicker than cm9.

CM10 for Nexus 7: 48 minutes. Compile options: make -j12 otapackage

Yes it is very important to not have any other programs open (I've even crashed my machine trying to do stuff while compiling with -j12), they will take up more RAM and more CPU time.
[Android] basketthis:
Thanks for the responses so far. I hope this can become a list that more people can use as a reference to tweaking their machine for building purposes. I haven't seen any sort of list around and when I do read about the amount of time it takes, I usually see an answer like "it takes however long it takes" which leads to no progress. And at the very least I believe it's cool to see what other's results are. :)

Gigabyte Z68 mobo

8gb 1600 ram

Ubuntu 12 installed on a 100gb partition with 8gb swap on a Seagate Green (5900rpm) 1Tb DRIVE takes about 90 minutes to build CM9 for my Sensation.

I ordered a 120Gb OCZ Agility 3 SSD from tiger for $85 hopefully that will cut the time down significantly.
[Android] trevd:
AMD 3GHZ FX8120 Bulldozer Black Edition ;

16GB (1600) DDR3 ;

Not Sure about the Motherboard without checking.

Linux Mint 13 ( 64 Bit )

EDIT: New build times.

aosp android-4.1.1_r4 ; removed previous out directory

full_panda-eng ; make -j12 49m6.429s

reboot

full_stingray-eng ; make -j16 32m47.270s

It came in around 38 minutes on a intial build of ICS time using make -j16.

Lately It's a little longer and I've been unable to get some fresh times because I don't have great cooling and it kept overheating and resetting because of hot whether.

It can be clocked to 5GHz with proper cooling and an SSD would bring the time down, I think, but given some reported times I am more than happy with that as it means I don't have to think twice about (re)building a rom.

In testing however I think this processor did fairly poor especially when up against similar Intel and looking at the couple of Intel times here I'd say they're the ones to go with.

Notes:

I always restart before building, I found it vital to restart after a repo sync as there seems to be a memoy leak in either repo or python, I don't know whether that has been fixed yet.

Incidentally I did Start a build on an Ubuntu VM which had 3 CPU Cores assigned and 4GB Ram, It was still going after 2 Days!
[Android] justlovejoy:
that doesnt seem right! lol.. really? not 2 whole days?

Yeah, like I put the Ubuntu VM ( Virtual Machine ). :) That's the day I learned to build on proper hardware, I tried the VM because I was on a later Ubuntu at the time and had run into a couple of issues so I wanted to follow google's aosp instructions to the letter and rule any versioning issues out..... schrooting is a much eaiser way of using a previous disto versions binaries, this is a great article on how build android using schroot. Good If you've ever get an urge for a cupcake or a donut one day :)

I do use ccache, but thanks for asking. Set in the bash profile so I never forget :). Not looked into whether it should be cleared down at any point, I am on a 500GB partition though so I've not hit any limits yet.

Setting up a box with the same processor. I expected to see better than 30 min builds for ICS. I will see what I come up with.

I am guessing that you were on windows and that's why you chose to go with virtual machine?

I have also read that different file systems read i/o faster/slower than others. Reference

[Android] trevd:
Maybe on JellyBean, On ICS i'm not so sure about, From my very casual observations JB seems to be use a lot less ram in it build process, ICS always just touched swap from a start of about 15GB .

Like I mentioned earlier, from the reviews I read the processor is out perfomed by similar intels and a bit a flop apparently. ( I reads these reviews long after I had bought the processor ). Although I'm happy enough with it. Also I've only got a generic kernel installed so there's probably some AMD optimization to be had there if I really wanted to get into it.

I wasn't on windows at the time. I was just young, foolish :) It was when I was just getting started with building the sources and really didn't know any better....I still am foolish, just not as young. :)

Right, I'll be back in ( just over ) 30 mins :laugh: I've got a full_grouper-eng to compile.

Thanks for the link, Phoronix are a really useful resource, It's one I stumble upon now and again but always forget the name of it when I want to remember.
[Android] justlovejoy:
Using virtual box on my laptop at the time I was solo boot on windows, longest cm9 ever took was about 3 hours with dynamically resizing and was using two cores with less than 2 GB ram. Still, many things differ, I shut the whole thing down so only virtual box was running. I noticed lag when I would go web browsing so figured, why waste ram and disk space.
[Android] basketthis:
Build a kernel :cool:

There are fx flags and optimizations....

Edit: If on ubuntu/Linux, you may want to check that your os is recognizing more than 3gb of ram also. I've been reading that anything newer than ubuntu 10.10 or Linux kernel 2.3.something are having issues with recognizing more than approx 3gb of ram. Also, there are issues with 10.04 and optimizations of ssd drives.

Also, I think it was 10.04 that is recognized as the better ubuntu version for building android. It is possible to use a newer (3.0+) kernel and back port it to the older ubuntu. This seems to give the best results...

Putting this info here for reference and to have it in a central location.

Lol, I've read many reviews. I am trying my hardest to keep any opinions out of here and keep it geared toward facts. It appears that Linux is better at multi-threading and we should expect to see gains when building a custom kernel (non-generic) and other things to come in the future. Whereas windows will need much more tweaking. Although I don't know why you would use windows to build android anyway....

I really must be missing a trick here and clearly haven't spent enough time on my considering the finer details of my hardware / kernel configuration.

Current Config is Linux Mint 13 x64 which is based off Ubuntu 12.04 with 3.2.0.26 kernel the Ram is Present and correct, However I have come across the 3GB Ram Limit previously so I am familiar with it. I think I must have been I had an 11.04 32bit on my machine.

PAE Extensions is the feature which needs enabling to get your full quota of ram on 32bit. Here's is an Ubuntu Help Page which gives a good explaination if any one is interested

I think there is some research followed by a rebuild on my horizon :) Thanks for the suggestions and the thread It's proving educational. I'll let you know how I get on, at the very least post some new build times

EDIT / UPDATE

I did some research and made some tentative first steps with my Kernel Configuration.

I decided to get on the mainline and build a 3.6-rc1. I removed a number of options I know to be redundant In my case, e.g Laptop Support, Intel Support etc

My research did throw up this Gentoo Wiki With Some useful "copy/pasta" compiler optimization, they also have a more in depth guide here.

After building this new kernel and clobbering my aosp tree I did

full_grouper-eng for JRO03L and a

make -j10 which resulted in

real 49m32.493s

user 312m45.481s

sys 17m55.599s

While this is still high, it's a step in the right direction, The times are around the same length I was getting for a full_panda with -j12 previously. I'll do a direct comparison also, Kinda Makes sense :o

I got quiet a lot of room for Improvement and many options, Only Clock at 2.8Ghz at the Moment.

AMD Provide an FX Bulldozer Specific GCC Toolchain which Is going to be employed when the I Rebuild the Kernel again

I Plan to tweak a bit, test a bit and see If I can get the performance some where close and hopefully learn some tricks along the way If all else fails I'll Surmerge the lot in a fishtank full of cooking oil and clock it to 5GHz :)

UPDATE 2
