I wanted to add to the distro discussion here. I'm pretty new to building and my build machine is low on muscle... dual core with only 2gb ram so I had to add a swapfile and increase the size of my /tmp folder. That said I tried Ubuntu 14.04, Mint 17.1, and BBQLinux... all work fine but as far as getting up and building, BBQLinux builds straight out of the box, no need to install anything else. Just sync your Lollipop repo (it has openjdk7 set to default) and brunch away.

And I second the /home partition suggestion... thanks to [MENTION=2143933]martinoff[/MENTION] for the tip (like I said, I'm new to this :D)... So before I moved any further, (I only had one repo synced on my drive,) I went ahead and reinstalled BBQLinux with separate / and /home partitions. It makes changing distros like flashing a rom! I should have thought of that before.

So for anyone building on a system with limited cpu cores/ram... this info might be helpful to you... these are my specs:

Intel Core2 duo @2.66

2gb ram

2T hd

No swap partition... I made a 16G swapfile instead.

Increased /tmp in fstab to 2gb (it defaults to half your ram)

BBQLinux will build SlimLP out of the box in 3.5 to 4hrs
[Android Builders Collective] :
Thanks, that's a distro I haven't considered before at all. I'll get myself acquainted :)
[Android Builders Collective] martinoff:
Yeah, go guys for archlinux

You will learn how to train your system :p

One you go arch you never go back

As for debian yea it is rock solid but if you will need something outside of repo you will need to do make install (or checkinstall for a little better way to keep things inside package manager) but you will get tired very soon

Debian is the distro which I start from but android it's not a server thing, you need to live in cutting edge and this is what archlinux can offer

You will need to mess a lot with it when you start but later you will appreciate it

I haven't try bbqlinux but as it full compatible with arch repos go for it if you think pure arch is headache to install and get things ready for buildings

Yes lol confirmed :D

Here's why (in the comments):

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/c/19703/

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/c/19733/

There have been an issue on the Slim github so me (and maybe other builders) have it in the log but the file is not updated.

Building again with the fix, i'll push the new build soon (you can dirty flash it over the existing one). Thanks for the report ;)
[Android Builders Collective] pkelly517:
Just to add one more thing to Linux and partitions: put /var on its own partition. There might be some day you make a mistake, and /var/log gets a file spammed. You can recover from a full /var directory. A full / directory is more troublesome. And maybe put /boot in a smallish ext2 partition, so any kernel can read it. Then you can experiment with other filesystems.
[Android Builders Collective] reS28raM:
I was talking about Debian

testing

not stable as you seems.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Builders Collective] martinoff:
And? What's the difference? It is far away from arch

Also you know that right now debian is already in freeze until the next stable release comes out, which mean no more new package even in experimental for at least one year

Until the stable release comes out there will be only bug fixes, if you are lucky maybe you will get some backport new futures or version :p

Another thing is that right now debian community and the devs are confused for which path well they get with systemd (which I don't like very much)

Don't tell me for debian, I was there for years

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

For all the new pc's the /boot can live with the EFI partition which must be fat32

For the /var you are very right and we can put that partition in hdd instead of ssd for better lifetime of ssd

Definitely, I will move to oms7 whenever [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION] give the green light.

On a side note I am currently using screwd beta. Loving devs base
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
OK! :angel: Hi [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] I've been reading...ok, OK. Even I'm not that spammy. :) Hope all have been good.

Building for HTC might be hard. Because here I am just trying to build something that works for flounder which is a nexus so it shouldn't be as bad but it is.:(

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

Sorry if this is really really really off topic. But [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] are you guys planning to move ABC to devs base? I don't even know if I should ask this. But just had to ask. I don't mean to say that ABC in XDA is bad [MENTION=2888538]letmedanz[/MENTION] [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION]

Me personally, I like the layout of the forums a lot better. Very easy to see which group are doing what for what devices. Don't need to go digging through threads to find something.
[Android Builders Collective] Garrykd:
Are you proposing that a 2+ year old thread here should switch? Or should everybody post to both? Or is there another reason to go there? (honest, serious question)
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Not saying this thread should switch. Just wanted peoples honest opinions on what they think about the new site. That's all. I probably asked it in a very bad way lol.

Posting to both would make things worse by dividing everybody in this thread and create more work needing to check both.

It's just that I was really surprised by the shear amount of ROM groups that left XdA to go to dev base. AOSiP, DU, Screwd, etc.
[Android Builders Collective] Garrykd:
Yup

Lol, they left xda... but they need xda, so they created a new one....I'm sure the new one will go much better :rolleyes::D
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Hopefully
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
What G said. Repo init the oms7 branch and sync again :good:

I build only 6p dude :D And i've no clue about building for htc devices, so i don't know if anyone can make an abc build for it :silly:

Domination and Magpie for example. And now that OMS has been fixed, a lot of themes will be updated for sure.

If you sync now, everything should work well (but i haven't tested it).

Tomorrow, if everything is fine, i'll push the new build. If using dark themes, just be sure to disable color inversion in the Ambient display settings if you use Ambient.

Maybe this one?

But atm in this thread i have everything i need: good people to enjoy and share some free time ;)
[Android Builders Collective] johnb380:
Thanks!

Hey bro was wondering if you were planning to build one up for us Free Willy Lovers with the new OMS7 magic in it? I'm kinda curious to see how the new stuff works on themes and such! Either way thanks man.
[Android Builders Collective] kantjer:
I did, 30 minutes ago. Build without errors

You'll beat SELinux, I totally trust you on this :cowboy:

[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Yes, I will build with OMS7. probably discontinue the league shamu builds. Once [MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] says that all small bugs with OMS are fixed. I will put out a oms build.

Good news! I figured out how to fix the kernel problems that my shamu are having.
[Android Builders Collective] DroidIt!:
You guys can't leave XDA!...that's just not allowed. :p Eh, I'm with [MENTION=2640853]Garrykd[/MENTION], if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
Awesome, do you think you'll continue to build it with the flash kernel?
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Yeah, sure why not. There is a new kernel called magikernel based of flash kernel, so I might give that a try. But I am mostly going to stick with the base flash kernel.

If I have problems building with flash kernel. I will have no choice but to switch to purenexus kernel to get it to build correctly.
[Android Builders Collective] fKm:
Hey mate. Is it possible to update YAOSP to the latest 6.0.1 update and the hammerhead device fingerprints/blobs too? I am not that happy with N on my hammerhead and want to build YAOSP with the latest source ;)
[Android Builders Collective] Yank555:
Well tbh, given I still have a lot I want in my daily (aka. N), and I have less time than I'd like, I won't have time to keep MM updated :(

And unfortunately, for the same lack of time, I don't think I'll manage to bring up N for HH either...

[Android Builders Collective] docck:
[MENTION=2095315]ezio84[/MENTION] can you say will next ABC builds on 7.1 or it'll continue 7.0 branch?
[Android Builders Collective] kantjer:
My guess, Android 7.0/oms7
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
And November security patches have priority :P
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Probably 7.0oms with Nov security update.7. 1 isn't officially released for shamu. What's out right is just an incomplete version derived from the pixel from what I've heard something like that. So it's better to just wait for the stable/officiall versions to release for the shamu next month.

You can use whatever bootloader and radio use that you want. It's not Rom and Android version dependent so yes, dev preview bootloader and baseband are ok.

Anytime I hit a build error, fix the error and try continuing the build, it fails instantly. However, if I clobber first, it can build successfully (as long as I fixed the error). Anyone know what might cause this? In the past (before N), I could fix an error and continue & finish a build with no problem.

[Android Builders Collective] JaylanPHNX:
Spectrum seems to work just fine.

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[Android Builders Collective] johnb380:
You have to make sure the theme you choose or rather the colors have no transparency in notifications. That makes the system ui FC non stop too! Background has never done it to me it's always been the notifications from the system ui overlays if your theme has it separate or fixed like CrystalTronikDark does it works good the way he does it is the background is transparent but the notifications shade for the N system is black.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Oms7 has exposed every font color and icon in system to be able to be themed and colored and much much more its gonna take awhile for themes to build all the frameworks and selections for this. It's a BIG update.
[Android Builders Collective] :
Bad ars update! Gonna have to install. Thanks guys!!! :angel:

Edit added: Just saw 10/30 and downloading now. This is a good thread to unload them "thanks" on. Haha. I was set back another week or two to purchase another computer due to my kiddos needing some things but I'll be at it soon and look hella forward to taking a crack at building. One last thing and I'll def try and add it in my future unofficial builds when I begin what about adding long press power for flashlight? Ive gotten used to it on Pure Nexus and can't hardly live without. Just a thought. Thanks again fellas!!!

[Android Builders Collective] Tech_Savvy:
Ive been meaning to ask for a while, why are aosp/cm roms anywheres from 380mb to 560mb and google factory image based roms (abc rom, purenexus,etc) are in the 260mb area? is it just compression or is the aosp rom heavier/bloated for some reason?
[Android Builders Collective] johnb380:
There's only 1 rom I've seen that's 260ish mb that's Velocity but the dev of that strips it to bare essentials. ABC and pureNexus and roms like it are 360ish mb and up those are Aosp based then you have DU and others that are Cm based roms that are 450ish mb and up. But the size isn't necessarily because of compression its the frameworks and systems that are bigger or smaller that makes the sizes what they are and the included apps and libs. Cm has a ton apps included and the frameworks and all the features and system is huge compared to AOSP.
[Android Builders Collective] chrisexv6:
Latest build of ABC for Angler from Ezio/Kantjer is coming in at 268MB.

Last build of PN for Angler I used is about the same.

I wonder if Bullhead is bigger for some reason?
[Android Builders Collective] Tech_Savvy:
Well on nexus 5x its 260....some pure none cm based aosp roms dont have all those cm apps and yet there the same size
[Android Builders Collective] johnb380:
Well then I guess the size depends on the device. Lol
[Android Builders Collective] ezio84:
Consider that 6p has a separate vendor.img, so less files to put into the rom zip.

Then there are additional apps.

Then Gapps, included or not.
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Just synced and updated my ABC source to oms7. Going to start building for shamu soon.
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:
no luck without flashing kernel with it.

in recovery, wiped system & caches. flashed rom, gapps, the phh superuser zip & arise zip. It was stuck on google logo for about 5 minutes, booted back into recovery, flashed Flash kernel zip, wiped cache, after being on google logo for about 5-10 seconds, boot animation started right up.

Thank you for the update, I dont have any right for expecations, but hopefully you continue to keep this updated even if you're on other roms.

Thanks

Dan
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
Thanks for that info Dan.

I will definitely keep ABCshamu updated. Probally going to try to sync and release a new build once a week? Currently, my inner flashaholic has come out again, since there has been a huge influx of nougat roms for shamu. So I am flashing each one to see which ones I like best. But ABCrom has a special place in my heart. Its a rom that I can fallback on where everything will work and is stable.

I think I have an idea on how to fix the kernel issue now. I tried one methods that was suggested to me but it didn't work. So the other method is to change my gcc toolchain from 4.9 to 4.8, So I will try that on the next build and hopefully that will fix the issue.
[Android Builders Collective] rrrrrrredbelly:

Damn you just when I get a setup I'm happy with you post an update! Well if your gonna build weekly for us I may just stay on this Rom after all since that's about as often as I need to flash. Just enough to stay up to date and current! Thanks bro I appreciate your time and effort.

Pro tip:

Just for future reference when you post a change log in a thread (not complaining just trying to help) most use the hide tag for the change log part so it doesn't fill up the thread its just good thread etiquette lol!

["HIDE"] before and ["/HIDE"] after without the quote marks to have the change log in a spoiler button!

Or you can quote my post and look it and you will see what I mean!
[Android Builders Collective] harpin14789:
I actually hit the changelog. Xdalabs has a bug which makes hide tags not work. But it's hidden if look in the browser.
[Android Builders Collective] Weetbix:
Same here (for Angler). Since devs-base started up and teams like DU and Screw 'd released N roms I've strayed. I used to love DU on MM, but after 5 or 6 weeks of ABC I find myself thinking other roms just don't feel right.

There isn't much else I want in a rom right now (ie a qs tile for v4a). But I know that if I get off my butt I could even have those small things :)
[Android Builders Collective] limjh16:

Now that you spoke about DU: those guys really deserve a huge thank, they have made a great work on Nougat version of navbar and also they are pushing a lot of good things on the Gerrit.

It's really nice to have such great devs and persons like du guys, Yank, Nathan and Beans sharing their stuff.
