I'm just gonna say f it and start from bare scratch... Starting with installing Ubuntu 12.04 instead of 13.10

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatimus:
I've tried the repo sync again to try and fix my mistakes but doesn't always seem to work. I tried adding the linaro toolchain which I messed up. But a repo sync didn't fix it. I found the easiest and quickest way was to just reinstall Linux and set up the build environment again. I don't mind doing this as each time I do it I'm getting more and more familiar with Linux and I had no experience with it when I started a few weeks ago, now I feel quite comfortable with the bits I've learnt so far. But I would be interested to know the best way to 'clean' up and start again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Go to the root of your source folder. Press Ctrl + h to show hidden files. Then select all of the folders EXCEPT FOR THE .REPO FOLDER, and delete them. Now you should only have the .repo folder left. Then run repo sync. This will bring your source back to an untouched state (and the repo sync won't take as long as it does the first time)

I ended up replacing my windows and Ubuntu 13.10 partitions and my whole 500gb laptop is now running Ubuntu 12.04 and that's it. I ran this awesome script that installs everything you need to set up the build environment. I synced the repo and I think it all worked out right. Now I just need to eat some "lunch" and hope everything builds right.

The goal here is to build an aosp ROM with status bar, notification tray, and nav bar mods. Let's just try and get this pure aosp built successfully first :)

I built an aosp ROM successfully but it wasn't as a cwm flashable zip I loaded it through adb. My next step is figuring out what parts of separate repos do what and how to add them. Are they added through the local manifest???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csrabear:
When you built AOSP did you "make otapackage"? That command will make a flashable zip that can be flashed from recovery (CWM or TWRP.) I have built several roms from source (AOSP, Beanstalk, RastaKat, and SlimKat) If the rom is based on CM you can use brunch to build a flashable zip. If it is AOSP based use "make otapackage".

The local manifest is like an addition to the default manifest. You can use it to add and remove projects from the default manifest. Look around XDA. There is a wealth of information to help as well as willing people.;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatimus:
Yeah I found the otapackage command after I built it. What I always worry about with asking questions on xda is all the trolls that will shoot you down for asking a question in the wrong place. It kind of ruins the fun of it, so I tend to read a lot and not ask much. This thread is OK because I created it and no question is too noobish here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csrabear:
I hear ya. I like to find the answers myself and then ask for help if I don't find what I need.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatimus:
Currently building cm 11.0 using latest linaro toolchain and a mode to the volume of the speaker and headphone output. Hopefully all will work.

EDIT- failed something to do with toolchain anyone got any advice I followed a guide by mithun46.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatimus:
Where did you get the script from that would be great if it works ok.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalUnderground:
It worked awesome. I got it from another dev in the s4 forums that does aosp ROMs. I'll upload it after getting his permission. It sets up the whole build environment (everything except the 3 binary scrips needed for our device). U can go from fresh Ubuntu install to a ready build environment. I got my ROM built but the only issue I'm having is in recovery its giving me this error

symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip

However it boots with philz touch so I'll have to figure that one out

Just bringing this back from the dead. lol Hope everyone's builds are going well. I found out that a lot of issues I was running into where from trying to build with java7 on ubuntu 13.10. I installed java6 and have been having much better results. Building AOKP as I type and will let you guys know how that works out. I've been able to build official bean, CM, and [MENTION=5307816]soupysoup[/MENTION]s bean. Honestly so far soups has been the easiest. It's almost idiot proof. He's a great guy who helped me a lot with some building reading stuff via PM. So if you happen to have the time throw that a guy a thanks or two. It's all about the reading. Then understanding what you've read. I'm still in the understanding phase but it's coming along nicely.

Thought I'd give Ubuntu 13 a try but can't seem to get it to recognise my graphics card. All very annoying as I can't further any building without a stable computer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatimus:
Right, I went back to mint for my build after ubuntu went weird on me, have managed to get a working AOSP build done (didnt actually realise AOSP was so different to stock).

So anyway getting the hang of building from source, not to difficult really, I want to go slowly step by step on this, as i think by trying to do to much at once is what has been stuffing things up for me.

My next step is to build with root built in, I've found a couple of things on the web but to be honest they are a little confusing to me. One of them referred to making a make file and building su but still left a lot for me to figure out, so any help would be appreciated.

Hey, another budding dev chiming in, first off, thanks to all of the experienced devs chiming in, reading everything you guys have said has been really helpful. And thanks to OP for starting this thread.

Second, I ran into an issue installing the proprietary binaries. The Qualcomm and LGE binaries are fine, but when I try to run the extractor for the Broadcom binary(wifi, nfc, bluetooth) my terminal exists after I type 'I ACCEPT' at the end of the license. I've already checked the md5 and sha1. I'm running Kubuntu 13.10, and everything up until here has been smooth.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
I usually just get proprietary vendor files from TheMuppets. Just clone the lge one and put the contents in /vendor/lge/.

Found this thread today after completing my first bootable build of Rastakat. I used Arch in a VM on OSX. I had some crazy java issues that set me back a bit but if anyone wants to try:

Core 2 Duo 2.26

I gave my VM ~5.5gb of ram(top of the green)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goatimus:
I've just built aosp successfully using the same files but had no problems other than I kept missing the 'I ACCEPT' and had to go t&c's again. I can't think of a reason it would do this other than a bad download. The only problem I have is a green line down the side of the camcorder.

I've tried building it with root embedded and it fails. I seem pretty good at doing the build but only because I follow a good guide. When it comes to anything else I feel well over my head and can't seem to get to grips with it all. Not that it matters I prefer my ROMs close to stock I just wanted to understand this whole process better so I know the effort and time devs put into their work, and its a lot.

Piggybacking off this thread since it seems to be about what I have been working on this week.

I have been using this guide. . .

- http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763

things were going great but then I got stumped when trying to find the details that need to go into the local_manifests.xml file.

I'm trying to compile my first CM11 build on my spare Nexus 5 and I just don't know where to find the information for this file. I found this page. . .

- http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Hammerhead_Info

but it only gives links to the device and kernel. There's no mention of the vendor on that page.

If anyone knows what is supposed to go in the local_manifests.xml file, I would love to find out. But more importantly, show me where I should be able to find information like this in the future in case I want to build a PA, AOKP, or SlimROM for my Nexus 5 later.

Any help is greatly appreciated
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Local_manifests will change from ROM to ROM. Its used to sync from other repos in case your ROM repo doesn't have everything like binaries etc.

If you follow the cm guide on the cm wiki, you'll see that you actual extract all this stuff from your device using scripts so don't need an additional manifest
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morphvale:
For the nexus 5 it can look something like below. Basically you add the name of the git project you want to clone inside you repo, the location where you want to clone it, and the revision which you want.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<manifest>

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_hammerhead" path="device/lge/hammerhead" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0"/>

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0"/>

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_hammerhead" path="kernel/lge/hammerhead" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0"/>

<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="cm-12.0"/>

</manifest>
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
Thank you very, very much. I wish I could give you more than one thanks for this reply.

Now, if you allow me to pick your brain, where did you find this project name, path, remote and revision number? Is there a link to the github project that you found these at?

The guide I'm actually following is for CM11 so I would need this information for the CM11 one. Also, it only lists three items in the local manifest xml, why are there 4 in your example?

I'm sorry if this is too many questions, I'm just trying to learn as much as possible as I go along
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Project name is the repository name, path is where it places the files from the repository, remote is where the remote repository is located, and revision number is the branch of the repo that you want.

His one was an example, you need to modify it to use the ones that you want.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
So if I take the CM12 from those entries and change them to CM11, keeping everything else the exact same, will that work for building CM11 for my first time? Or will other things like the project name or path be different?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
I don't follow CyanogenMod too closely, check their Github for repo names and branch names. Path should be the same.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morphvale:
Sorry for the late reply. Lethargy is right with the explanation. I actually got my example from the One+ found somewhere on the web, adapted for the N5 and changed the revision to CM12 (it was CM11 in the example I had). Then I did a repo sync, and saw all files getting fetched as they should. Building went smoothly afterwards, and everything works as it should.

As for paths, just add https://github.com/ in front of the name, like this: https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge

Hi guys,

Yesterday, I was trying to root my 4.3 nexus 4 using the following link http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/11/how-to-root-nexus-4-on-windows.html

I followed all the steps in this tutorial and, I don't why, on bootloader mode after choosing "reboot the system now", the screen remained on the X screen. I tried everything that was said on the tutorial if I had a X screen, but nothing works. Moreover, everytime I tried to turn it off the phone turned back on and remained stuck on that damn X screen again. So what should I do? Is it hopeless? Is it fixable?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharu_IF:
Your phone came into a bootloop, for fixing this problem: download the wugfresh toolkit (link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015469) and after a full drive installation use the option "Flash stock + unroot" and tick the option "Soft-bricked/Bootloop".

For root your device again at the end of the previous process use the option "Root" and tick "and also flash a custom recovery".

Hello

i want to say on beginning that i spend whole day reading related topics so please read on before asking me to search the forum.

I had problem on i9003 with internal memory. It couldnt mount mmcblk0p3 if i remember well.

So after reading lot of topics i modfied vold.fstab and just changed

# internal sdcard
{
mount_deep = 1
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun0/file
asec = enable

{
mount_deep = 0
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun1/file
asec = disable
discard = enable
mbr_policy = skip
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc0

TO

# internal sdcard

mount_deep = 1
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun0/file

mbr_policy = overwrite
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host[B]/mmc0[/B]

# externel sdcard
{
mount_deep = 0
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun1/file
asec = disable
discard = enable
mbr_policy = skip
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/[B]mmc1[/B]

after few reflash and full wipes the phone started. It was in bootloop earlier. Now nearly everything is fine. But in settings>storage it shows both SDCARD and USB storage as unavaiable. It is logical as it is now mounted to the not-working internal storage. How to mount these two (usb storage and external sd ) to the 2 partitions on the sdcard? What format they need to be?

To sum up i have now phone booting from SDCARD which partitions looks like these:

I guess after flashing stock XWLF2 i lost root for now.

There are dozens of threads about "bricked" phones. It's not always clear if the OP(s) managed to recover.

Just out of curiosity. Did anyone manage to brick their phone? It seems like it's fairly difficult to do so.
[G2 General] fma965:
if you break the ROM. use recovery, if recovery is broke, use lg recovery or flash tool, if that doesn't work then you did something wrong or hardware issues

So afaik no hard bricks
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
Since I own android phones, I have not hard brick any. If you hard brick an android phone, you should not own an android phone, you A. did not read instruction B. did not follow instruction C. think your smarter than the instruction by skipping it.
[G2 General] rokfor2000:
I thought as well that it's not that easy to brick the phone. I am comming from GNex, there were not that many threads from people asking how to recover, so I thought that maybe something is different with G2
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
There is a HUGE difference between hard brick and soft brick. Most people soft brick their devices and that is normally pretty easy to recover from(if you can get into recovery just restore back up, or just use the native tool from your hardware manufacturer). Most posts come from people who soft brick their devices and don't know how to recover from it. The people who hard brick normally flashed wrong kernels(from other phones) or were playing around with something they shouldn't have been playing with. I have owned a lot of phones (see my sig) and hacked every one of them(well... the ones that could be, the dumb phones didn't offer much for hacking) and have not hard bricked a single one. I have soft bricked some and some took all night to recover from but never hard bricked
