Some additions (again) ;)

Differences between make clean and make mrproper (if you need to clean the sources after a failed build). The make clean command delete the most generated files and builded objects, but keep the .config file (what contains the changes of actual defconfig) and keep enough informations to build external modules. The make mrproper command delete ALL generated files/objects, after this command you need to configure the kernel config again (make blabla_defconfig and make menuconfig for example). If you use alfsamsung sources, never use the mrproper command, because this source not contains defconfigs, only a predefined .config, the make mrproper delete it, and need to extract this file again.

About the Image and zImage: the difference between these files is only one, the Image contains the raw kernel code, the zImage starting with a decompressing code and the compressed image. When build the kernel.sin, you can use the zImage too, just rename to Image. The result is a smaller kernel, you can attach bigger ramdisk. The maximum size of the kernel (the complete kernel.sin) is around 8.300.000 byte. A typical kernel image is around 5,5MB (you can use ramdisks with maximum 2,5MB) the compressed image size is less than 3MB (you can use ramdisks around 5MB size)

As sgt. meow wrote: "Linaro just seems cool and that's why everyone wants to use it." This is the general problem in the development section, every "developer" want to make "cool" things, I think better if they concentrate to make "good" things, instead of making "cool" sh!ts...

Some tips:

If you make a kernel, never post it: based on LATEST xyz source. The latest is relative. Write a correct commit version, if you don't know what is it, need to learn before publish kernels.

To the members who have low bandwidth. Download sources as zipball, it needs less data transfer than a repository sync (when you sync a repo, you download a lot of deltas, additional files too), a typical kernel zipball is around 90MB. This method works with rom sources too (but more complicated, because you need to download and extract manually more than 200 files), for example the minicm7 sources with manual download as zipballs is only 600MB (without the prebuilts what is around additional 700MB).

If you want to be "cool" and use linaro, use the standalone linaro gcc (the arm-none-eabi version) instead of the linaro toolchain (arm-linux-gnueabi version) it will give less compiling errors.
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
true dat, brother.

and is minicm7 really about 1.3GB in size as zipballs? one more thing i heard (read, probably) that the zImage is the compressed version of the Image with a decompression code. so if we use that, won't booting time be a lil bit slower?

added all your suggestions bro. thanks a lot for helping out. you should apply for RC.
[XPERIA X8 General] pilu1978:
No, the compressed image not give significant slower boot time. All nAa kernels use compressed images, and boot faster than the alfs (the alfs8 use normal image, the alfs9 use compressed).

Yes, the minicm7 source only 614MB if you download as zipballs. For example: the settings app size is 3,5MB if you download as zip, but the git repo is around 90MB (this is an extreme example, with some part of code you can't decrease the download size).

Tips to use this method.

Make the repo init, but not start the sync. Check the default.xml in .repo/manifests, and you can see all needed repo.

You can make download links from this file in this form:

https://github.com/"name value"/zipball/"revision value"

Concrete example:

You see this line:

<project path="bootable/recovery" name="CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery" />

The link what you need: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/zipball/gingerbread

(the most line in default.xml not contains revision, if you not see it use gingerberad for minicm7, or ics for minicm9)

If the download finished, you must extract manually the downloaded file into the "project path". With this example: in your source folder you must make the bootable/recovery folder, and extract the downloaded zip into this folder (warning: the zip contains a folder named in this form - project name+commit number, you must extract the files into the "project path" folder WITHOUT this folder (you need the files INSIDE this folder))
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
gonna try that soon.

okay so the line has to be edited like this:

<project path="bootable/recovery name="CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/zipball" />

i'm trying it on the MiniCM9 source.

oh yeah android source from googlesource can't be zipballed that way.
[XPERIA X8 General] pilu1978:
No.

The correct method for get direct links:

You can see in the default.xml: <project path="external/compcache" name="CyanogenMod/android_external_compcache" revision="master" />

The link what you need:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_compcache/zipball/master

The text with puple color: need to write it manually :)

Text with green color: the repo what you need

Text with blue color: the branch name what you need. Usually you not see the revision in the default.xml, if not exist, use the default branch name (gingerbread or ics, depends on what source needed)

The downloaded file will be this: CyanogenMod-android_external_compcache-cm-7.0.0-0-g5fdea21.zip

Inside the zip package you can see a folder with same name, this folder NOT needed, go inside this folder, and extract the files into the folder what marked with orange colour.

You must do it with ALL project (over 200 files), but you need to download only 600MB, and not need to sync the repo (what is much bigger).

EDIT: You not need anything from google sources if you want CM7 :) (just the prebuilt binaries, but you can find it somewhere in the minicm nightlies threads, eagleeyetom uploaded it when the aosp servers was unavailable)
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
EDIT: what about platform/abi/cpp and some others?
[XPERIA X8 General] pilu1978:
Please explain it in longer form (I not understand what is the question) :)
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
i saw this line in the default.xml

<project path="abi/cpp" name="platform/abi/cpp/zipball" remote="aosp" revision="refs/tags/android-4.0.4_r2.1"/>

this is important. how do i zipball or tarball it?
[XPERIA X8 General] pilu1978:
Okay, understand :) I checked only the cm7 sources, what not contains codes from aosp servers (only the prebuilt toolchains, but this is available on mediafire servers, eagleeyetom upload it when the prebuilts was unavailable :)). So, at this moment no idea how to download code from google servers.

Try this: remove all minicm/cyanogenmod related lines from default.xml, leave only the lines that contains: remote="aosp", and sync the repo with only the aosp code. Or send your default.xml (just copy/paste the contents, and send it in a pm. :)

[Nexus 7 Accessories] thefever:
I know they aren't Nexus 7 specific, but I love mine, and I'm bored at work.

Here's what's in it now, plus or minus a few things.

1 Sandisk Clip Zip

2 Micro USB Cable

3 Nexus 7 Charger

4 Short Ear Buds

5 Cheap Monoprice Portable Charger

6 Micro USB male to Micro USB female for portable charged

7 Sony MW600 Bluetooth (Love it, you can use any headphone with a 3.5mm jack)

8 2 USB OTG cables with a 32gb Sandisk Cruzer Mini (I store ROMs, Movies, Videos, and Titanium Backup files on it.)

I was highly skeptical of it at first, but it's pretty inexpensive, so I took a risk. It definitely holds everything in there solid. This one also has a zipper pocket on the back where I put lens wipes, microfiber cloths, etc. It slides right into the laptop compartment of my bag, and doesn't add a lot of bulk.

The only 2 problems I had with it were first, I thought I'd fill it up quick, but that definitely wasn't the case... I'm not gonna put lame stuff like ChapStick and pens in it. Second thing is I can never remember exactly how I put things, so it takes some guesswork, but it still keeps everything snug as hell. A good component for the Nexus 7, even though it isn't actually made for the Nexus 7. :)

I got it here on Amazon...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djr83:
My internet connection is down and right now I'm using my Note as a modem for my computer. But when I'm doing this I cannot access my LAN (of course). Is there a way to use the Note as a modem for my router so I can connect my computer through the router and have both internet access and LAN access?

My router is a Cisco E4200.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprogurt:
Just checking, what were you using to connect your computer to the router before using the note, what other devices are there and what are they connected by?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djr83:

True. That is acceptable, but that would leave all the other devices without a connection. How do I connect through USB? I have activated USB tethering in the phone and connected it with a cable but nothing happens. I'm using OS X.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
not sure on MAC though

i am using W7 and when i connect the phone is usb tethering mode, it instals 2 drivers

Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device

RNDIS Communications Control

then it just connects to the internet. just like wifi tethering

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

or may be if your router has a usb to wifi capablity then may be.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprogurt:
Presuming DHCP is obtained through the router or manual and the router can handle switching an ethernet cable from the mac to the router would work.

EDIT

Just read up, you wanted to give all of the devices on your network an Internet connection through your note?

EDIT

It is possible to do it from the computer if that's the case but for the sake of simplicity let's first connect the note directly to the router.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djr83:
That would be nice, but mainly I want to be able to access internet and my LAN from my computer.

but man my phone does not show green led which is necessary for repairing using pcc :( help me bro
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
Now there is a trick to revive it..

Tested by me!!!

Dont skip this step:-

"Charge battery full and shut device down by pressing volume + and power key untill phone vibrates 3 times"

(despite your device bricked cause when u charge or hit power button there is a supply and your device hasn't shut completely)

"Don't connect the phone to desktop until the point no 3-4 below"

1)Open flashtool

2)select the files for flashing

3)when the Popup hits your screen to connect your device in flash mode wait for it to repeat 2-3 times and then connect it asap

4) you will see the device detected and flashing starts the green led goes red for flashing mode

The timing should be spot on!!! If you can't get in one go try a couple of times...

I got my friends Sola working like this!!!

Hold the power button down + volume up key at the same time until it vibrates once and then three more times, total 4 time vibrates. Now your phone is completely switched off. Now hold the volume key down while plugging in the usb. (first connect it with pc then phone).

This will make your phone to go into fastboot mode. Then using flashtool you can flash new kernel or rom for your phone. Hope it helps
