Needing help to build AOSP for the HTC One. I figured I could set up a roomservice.xml like cm but idk if that's the case. Also how cm has a cm folder in the vendor folder how do I go about doing that for aosp besides already adding HTC vendors and qcom stuff. I'm lost on how to get this rolling. Much help thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
For the vendor setup, just add it to the source, and it will build with the correct .mk files added

as far as the HTC One, never tried before so cant help there.

after a long time away from tinkering with android, I was able to compile AOSP 4.3 from source. only one problem, I can't open the camera app. Logcat reveals this fatal exception:

I dunno how to fix this one. seems to be an error with the camera app, so I've redownloaded my gapps package but still no dice. anybody encounter this before? (BTW I'm working with the Gnex Maguro)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] something15525:
What kind of changes have you made to the source?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
no changes. just repo sync then build. that's why it bums me that there's this error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
bump. anybody?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
My bad I'm not getting notifications, are you using the correct drivers? In your vendor setup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
I think I am unless i've completely botched it and dowloaded the wrong ones. I got them off of this page:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

I downloaded the 4.3 binaries for the galaxy nexus maguro variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
Take a working Rom and extract it into a folder and then do the same with yours, finally get an app that can diff compare folders (diff merge app recommended from source forge) then compare the two pay attention to system/etc system/lib and all of the vendor ensure all binaries are in place them get back to me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daggerxXxsin:
I compared it to rasbean jelly which I am currently using now and these are the only mismatches under system/etc (no mismatches for system/lib or vendor):

Hey guys I got a question on github and roms .

I've build a lot of kernels and am familiar with the kernel side of it but how does it work when say I repo sync for a slimrom build , add some patches , then what ? All the gits I see are split into all the different folders so to speak . so do I have to fork each one that I'm syncing and patching then push to each one separate ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jboyer0000:
No, you just sync this https://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest :) and it'll pull in all the projects that are needed to build slimroms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Sorry , I wrote that late last night and should have said that after I add my patches to my local repo , how do I commit those to github ?

When I repo sync slimroms manifest , after I change it locally , how do I apply that to a git ? What it looks to me like I gotta do is fork whatever the manifest is pulling then do the commits there ? Hope thats more info on what I'm asking about . I'm used to cloning a kernel source and simply patching and committing .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Just to clarify, since I'm pretty new to git and repo as well-

Are you talking about how to save changes locally so a repo sync doesnt wipe them out

Or uploading patches to slimroms for review?

or something else entirely?

Speaking of which I also have a question about git and repo-

I'm currently building cm-11.0 and cherry picking a lot of different commits, and modifying the source myself but how do I save those changes locally so I dont have to constantly go back and re cherry pick and re-edit the source?

Right now the way i have to do it is a real pain in the you know what lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
edit your manifest to pull your local copy of the repo instead of refetching the unedited cm11 repo.

Has anyone embedded koush's superuser into their 4.3.1 ROM's, I cant get it to give me root access, but the app builds into the system settings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Hey everyone, I'm glad to see this thread is still going strong! Quick question... How are we (aspiring Galaxy Nexus devs) going about building 4.4? Ive got the repo synced, and I have the binaries for Toro, Maguro, Mako, Manta, Grouper, Tilapia, and Hammerhead, and I'm raring to go. I see that the GNex ROMs are being based off of KRT16S, but I'm wondering which device I should build, in order to have success (I'm building Toro).

Additionally, I'm assuming that all GNex ROMs are - essentially - ports... I've found a few decent porting guides that I can use, but I was wondering if anyone here had any up-to-date, Galaxy Nexus-specific information they'd be willing to pass on. Thanks for any/all information guys! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
As long as you have the right binaries, any of the mentioned should build. No not all Gnex roms are ports, I build mine straight from AOSP.

As far as 4.4 goes, I would hold off on building for the Gnex until the amazingly smart dudes working on the 3.4 kernel get it up and working because then we could experience 4.4 as it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
I completely understand your point about waiting for proper kernel support, but I think I'd like to compile and fiddle around a bit in the meantime, lol.

If you don't mind me asking, how are you building GNex from AOSP? It doesn't have binaries in the repo (4.3 is the latest)... I tried building Toro, and ran into an error regarding "no make file"... I'm really interested in knowing what process you used in order to get a successful KRT16S build, compiled and running via AOSP... I've been building for about a year now, but I admit, I'm a bit stumped right now. Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
You need to go to developer settings and set root access to apps and adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
If you post your build errors, we can help you out. It could be any number of things.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

I dont have that in developer settings, I have it in the Superuser menu settings and it is currently set to apps and adb. I have to be missing something because i can flash the zip in recovery and have root access
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
I don't even have real "build errors" though... Toro just isn't in the manifest for any of the 4.4 branches. That's why I was wondering how it's possible to build a Galaxy Nexus ROM from AOSP. If I need to edit files somewhere, that's fine... I'm just having trouble getting started. This is the first time I've had to deal with trying to build a ROM for an unsupported device. Here's what I'm getting though...hopefully it helps. Thank you for helping me troubleshoot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Try checking through this source, its basically aosp 4.4 to build for toro (and a few other devices)

https://github.com/ShinyROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Thank you!!! I was digging through my source, and found that I don't have any files for Toro under /android_source/device... So I was NEVER going to be able to build Toro, no matter how hard i tried. Looking through the Git repo you linked me to, there are clearly some files that would require editing, in order for Toro to be viable. This is definitely going to get me compiling... I'm still wondering why Toro didn't get pulled down, when I synced the Master branch. I had to 'repo init' back to a 4.3 branch, and repo sync again, for it to show up in my device tree, which seems a bit...counterproductive.

I'll hit up Baldwinguy on Rootz to see which directories I need to pull from his repo. Thanks again man! :good:

Hey fellas I got a question , I'm compiling a ROM on my computer , and I leave my scroll back in terminal to unlimited . if I have the same window open for a few days my laptop will freeze . I don't know what specifically causes this , was hoping someone on here knew
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
I'm guessing the terminal just doesnt like that many lines being left in it, have you tried simply trying to have everything be output to a file instead of keeping unlimited scrolling in terminal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsmitty83:
Yea thas what I figured , ill have to start dumping it to a text file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
lol can never blame dreams, hes only given me right answers :p. Come to think of it, I used his files on my stock aosp rom, but dont think i ever tried anything other than rear camera on normal mode and video recording.

Either way, Im setting up my git if you want to peak at it, Im not sure if its fully done yet, still playing with/learning git.

Adding theme chooser would be the same as adding anything else. You need to understand what you need to add. I don't like theme chooser, this is why I didn't push any files for it. But if you want, you easily can. Github history will help you to see which is which

What is the most common way of developing? Using Eclipse or manually doing everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Both.

You can't fully import AOSP into Eclipse without missing resources.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
Depends on what your developing really, simple mods to source code i use this feature filled app called gedit ;). When I'm done, i pass my file and stock through diff merge and it highlights my code lets me see it in the file yet at a distance. I compile until there are no errors. Eclipse i used to make an app and compile.9 images lol.

I have a question myself, i want input on the webpage, i know the bugs like currently broke nav bar etc but what content would you consider pertinent and what do you think of what's there so far? I'm missing boardwalk empire tonight to fix the nav bar :(

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Your website is off to a great start, I didnt even notice the nav bar was broke when Ive been there before haha. In my little experience with development, the only thing that I dont see on your website would be a tutorial for getting started with java, or C++ or other commonly used languages in android, but I think I may be one of the few to dive in with no java or C experience lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamsforgotten:
Thanks, I had an issue when you scroll the nav bar down (mostly on tablet/phone) the nav bar went behind the main content window. I fixed it last night. I'm making my way to programming language, git as well, but those are tricky, way more complex. Right now I'm trying to think about when I first started and knew nothing at all. Have I provided enough information to get someone who no experience developing by reading the guides. Uber proved I did a decent job, hell he read it and had a rom 2 days later lulz. The next guide will be to show how to track down mods and add them to your source. I did the e-bonics page to define terms and give details about where the terms come into play.

I have the European version of the phone amd seem to suffer from poor batery life. The phone can barely be used 3 hours continously. I didn't fully charge the battery the first time so is this the cause? If yes how do I fix it? Also I have everything like Wi-fi etc off so that's not the cause.
[Galaxy S III General] djkorben:
if you're comfortable rooting/flashing custom roms onto your phone I'd suggest trying that. I get twice as much battery life out of my phone with the omega 28 rom
[Galaxy S III General] Hamburgle4:
Give betterbatterystats a go..(free to xda members) and you'll be able to determine what programs etc are draining your battery.

Your screen time of 3 hours mind you is not too far off with what you can pull off with this device.. (4 hours tends to be a good number).. also taking into account the fact the device wasn't fully charged.

I`m on stock rom. I get more than 30 hours on one charge, internet, video, email normal use. Going through a whole day is absolutely no problem.

There must be a crappy app you`ve installed that is draining your battery. You will have to find out which one it is.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Are you playing games? They will drain your battery more quickly. Also, see if any apps are running in the background. After that, un-tick the location services in the settings menu. Change to a static wallpaper. Don't set very low sync times and turn your wifi off when you're not using it.

If you're on stock, you should have around 4 hours of screen time on.
