Compiling CM 10.1 toro?

Hi, I was trying to compile CM 10.1 for toro and was following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_toro
I couldn't find extract-files.sh so I skipped it and used the blobs from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#toro
It compiles all the way through and generates a zip file but it just causes a blank screen when it tries to boot.
Does anybody know where I can find extract-files.sh? I did repo sync a few times and even deleted my entire directory and started over. It never shows up in the directory stated in the guide.
I'm also using ubuntu 12.04

Have you completed every step successfully before you are supposed to execute the extract-files.sh?
Also: which java version and toolchain do you use for compiling?

If it still fails after that, just get the google android NDK and use the provided 4.6 toolchain. Also, do not use Java 7 for compiling, use Java 6 instead (oracle Java always worked good for me, dunno about openJDK).

BUMP, having the same problem with the blank screen after building. No problems with completing the guide. Everything is as it should be
just get the blank screen after the google splash.....

What Java and GCC toolchain are you using?

Java 6, not sure about the toolchain. Kinda of frustrating cause my grouper builds boot fine...

I'm also using Java 6. And when I enter "gcc --version", I get 4.6.3
I tried using the blobs from the link above and still getting the same black screen.
I had also tried manually running generate-blob-lists.sh in devices/common. it took forever but it created extract-files.sh. It didn't even compile after that so I deleted my source directory again and used the blobs from hiepgia's link.

lunch a eng build, then LOGCAT! You'll know why it's bootlooping. And you know you need to run extract-files.sh from a toro running CM right? 'make clobber', then brunch.

Looking at the source tree at github, I see an extract-files.sh for maguro, but, no such file exists in the toro branch.
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_maguro/tree/cm-10.1
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_toro/tree/cm-10.1
After my repo sync finishes I'm going to go thru the steps again, if there is still no extract-files.sh (which I'm sure will be the case, unless it get's generated somehow), I'll try copying the maguro one in (with requisite changes)...

I assume it doesn't exist due to toro officially not being able to be above 4.1.1 with OTAs. Making CM10 and CM10.1 problematic with the older binaries...etc people potentially would be pulling from their device with the script.
https://github.com/TheMuppets <-- as mentioned previously that is what I use to get the proprietary stuff for my toro. You can make a local_manifest.xml in your .repo directory, then a repo sync with download them all for you.

[GUIDE][Step-by-Step] Build ROM from source

I put this tutorial together in an attempt to create the most complete and easy to follow guide for building a ROM from source. Including steps for adding apps to your build, changing toolchains and more... The entire guide uses a single Linux terminal window from start to finish in an attempt to keep everything as user friendly as possible. Please feel free to PM me suggestions on where changes need be made.
If you find this guide helpful please press the Thanks button on my posts and rate the thread a 5.​
Prerequisites​1. This guide is for Ubuntu 12+ based machine, I run Linux Mint 15. Follow links at end of OP for alternate directions
Windows Users: Setup Ubuntu in Virtualbox Instructions
2. You need to know the location for your device, vendor, and kernel repos. This can be found fairly easily in the forum for your phone. Also take note of your phones codename.
For example the Optimus G is the gee and its repos can be found here https://github.com/TeamPlaceholder
Note*All terminal commands will be in Code boxes*
Part 1 - Setting Up The Build Environment​
Install Java JDK
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Installing required packages
Code:
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Set-up ccache This Is Optional
Code:
nano ~/.bashrc
Add these two lines
export USE_CCACHE=1
export CCACHE_DIR=<path-to-your-cache-directory>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save and exit by pressing ctrl+x, selecting Y then enter.
Install ADB & Fastboot This is optional, as you may already have them working. If not, they're a good thing to have.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Setup Repo
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
Code:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Code:
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
Code:
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create working directory
Code:
mkdir [I][B]working-dir[/B][/I]
(Replace working-dir with whatever you'd like to call it, ie. aokp)
Code:
cd working-dir
Part 2 - Get Source​ROM Source
Choose which custom rom you are going to build and initialize the repo for it
Code:
repo init -u [I][B]chosen-manifest[/B][/I]
(Replace chosen-manifest appropriately from the list below)
AOKP: https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b Branch
Cyanogenmod: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b Branch
CarbonDev: https://github.com/CarbonDev/android.git -b Branch
Liquid Smooth: https://github.com/LiquidSmooth/android.git -b Branch
Replace Branch with appropriate branch from github repo ie cm-10.2 or jb3
If unsure which branch click the link above to locate appropriate branch
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Device Source
Go HERE and follow instructions on obtaining your device specific repos.
Sync the repo
Code:
repo sync
This will take a while as it downloads all the required source
Part 3 - Preparing Source​Before you're ready to build your source needs to be configured to include your device. This preparation varies slightly for different custom Roms.
Go HERE and follow instructions for your ROM choice
Part 4 - Edit Source​This Is Optional​This is where you can make edits to the source before building to suit your needs.
Go HERE and follow the instructions to tweak source
Part 5 - Building ROM​
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
Code:
lunch
Locate your device on the list and enter appropriate number
Code:
make -j[B][I]# [/I][/B]otapackage
Replace # with the number of cores in your system (Is the number of jobs that will be done at once, more cores means more jobs)
Build Errors​
This can be hard, especially if you're new to programming languages and building. Meet Google your new best friend.
Here is a basic overview to get you started, and if no more at least googling in the right direction.
Finished​When it's done you're rom will be in working-dir/out/target/product/codename/
Enjoy.
I used these sites while making this guide
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/oracle-sun-java-6-installer-available.html
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html

Device Source​ As stated in the prerequisites you will need a device specific Device repo, Vendor repo, and Kernel repo. You can find links to them in the threads for your devices. Also take note of your device codename ie Nexus 4 is mako, Optimus G is gee.
There are two options for adding in device specific source, local manifest and git clone.
Note: The local path for your phone's repos should be device/manufacturer/codename, vendor/manufacturer/codename, kernel/manufacturer/codename regardless of method chosen.
Git Clone
Git clone is a one time download of a specific repo to the directory indicated and is not affected when a repo sync is run. This is probably the better choice if you make edits to the device source as they won't be over written or cause conflicts when syncing.
This method is used AFTER the inital rom source sync. Preform a repo sync before cloning repos
Code:
git clone [B][COLOR=DarkOrange]repo[/COLOR][/B] -b [B][COLOR=Red]branch[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=Lime]destination-path[/COLOR][/B]
here is and example for the vendor repo for the E973 from TeamPlaceHolder
git clone https://github.com/TeamPlaceholder/proprietary_vendor_lge_gee -b cm-10.2 vendor/lge/gee
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Local Manifest
Local manifest syncs the device repos each time a repo sync is run. This is probably the better choice if you don't make edits and rely on the repo's maintainer for changes. Be wary making edits locally to the repos you list as a repo sync may overwrite your changes.
This method is used BEFORE the initial rom sync. This gets your device source during the first repo sync
Code:
mkdir .repo/local_manifests
Code:
touch .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Code:
nano .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
Add these lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="name-for-remote" fetch="remote-url" />
<project path="destination-folder-path" name="repo-location" remote="name-for-remote" revision="branch" />
</manifest>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
name-for-remote - Any name you want to give to identify the url where your repos are stored
remote-url - The url for the remote location your repos are stored
destination-folder-path - Where do you want this repo stored locally
repo-location - Where on the remote url is your repo stored
branch - The branch of the remote repo you are using
**You will need a project line for each repo you wish to add to the source. **
Here is an example for E973 using TeamPlaceHolder repos, adding all device/vendor/kernel repos.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="gh"
fetch="git://github.com/" />
<project path="kernel/lge/gee" name="TeamPlaceholder/android_kernel_lge_gee" remote="gh" revision="cm-10.2-update" />
<project path="device/lge/geeb" name="TeamPlaceholder/android_device_lge_geeb" remote="gh" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project path="device/lge/gee-common" name="TeamPlaceholder/android_device_lge_gee-common" remote="gh" revision="cm-10.2" />
<project path="vendor/lge/gee" name="TeamPlaceholder/proprietary_vendor_lge_gee" remote="gh" revision="cm-10.2" />

Preparing Source
Preparing Source​ROM specific setup instructions prior to building. All source should be downloaded already.
All ROM setup is fairly similar,
1. You must add your device to the ROM's vendor repo(vendor/cm or vendor/aokp) This process is slightly different per rom. Look at how other devices are added in the vendor repo and emulate those.
2. A ROM specific makefile, again look at how other devices are added.
3. If building AOSP based ROMs, a pre-built kernel is generally required. Look here for instructions on how to compile a kernel separately.
Here are examples of how to set up AOKP or Carbon to build. Device used in example is Optimus G.
Manufacturer and codename MUST be updated to reflect your device.
AOKP

nano vendor/aokp/vendorsetup.sh

# Inherit AOSP device configuration for geeb
$(call inherit-product, device/lge/geeb/full_geeb.mk)
# Inherit AOKP common bits
$(call inherit-product, vendor/aokp/configs/common.mk)
# Inherit GSM common stuff
$(call inherit-product, vendor/aokp/configs/gsm.mk)

Once your device has been added you're ready to build! Go back to the OP and complete the guide from where you left off.

good stuff haze

AGREED!!

What bout building ROMs based on LG source? I'd rather see more LG based ROMs because the camera quality is higher, and a lot of AOSP/AOKP ROMs feel more or less the same.

Seriously ? Find me LG source to build a rom and I'll make you one.
@moderator.
Btw, This post and the previous should be removed, that thread locked to prevent post like these and pinned. thanks.

Haze028 said:
Well I had put up build instructions for AOKP but thought I would generalize them so people could use them for other ROM bases. My therory is the more people that are trying to build, the more improvments/enhancements can be put forth to the OG community.
As I've stated before I do not consider myself a dev. So don't be afraid of giving this a try, even if you have little to no android building experience. The instructions are as step by step as I could make them, and I'll always try to help where I can.
When it's done you're rom will be in out/target/product/geeb/
I'm writing this now from memory, so if it doesn't work let me know so I may update accordingly

Why would want to lock the thread? How do we suppose to learning? I think @Haze purpose was opposite that you suggest, if we do not learn, we'll keeping ask you to change this, or do that instead to help you and even do some nice stuff.
Don't be like that be patience and share your great knowledge. I'm your fan. :good:

Yeah, I don't think it should get locked, I started it to try to help people out, so they can get assistance through this thread with their builds. Being new to building myself, I have found that the issues, and resolutions to them, in similar threads to this to be a wealth of knowledge.

getting error
build/core/product_config.mk:239: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[vendor/aokp/products/geeb.mk]]: "device/lge/geeb/full_geeb.mk" does not exist. Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'aokp_geeb'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
Any idea what i missed?

have you cloned the geeb device tree into device/lge/geeb? seems the error is saying that full_geeb.mk doesn't exist, so either you've not yet cloned the device tree, or you have it in a differnt folder name, I'm assuming currently.
let me know if that's not the case.

I know most people want to run latest and greatest but I'm curious if we could build a cm10 (4.1.2) using LG's released kernel sources?
Any thoughts??
Would be cool to get a 4.1.2 build without LG's proprietary software...
Hopefully you see my point in posting this here as building from lg's sources and either aosp or cm10 isn't the most straightforward.
I'm attempting but I don't expect to have much success...

It all depends on your internet connection, looking at around 10-20gb. I think my AOKP repo is 12gb...give or take

Why should we have to download all projects in AOKP, if I wont use it.
There is a way to choice between what to download and what to not download?

In the third post i show you how to use a local manifest to remove projects you don't want/need from the repo before you sync, linked to in the build instructions. I always remove the device tree and vendor for other devices before my initial sync.

Yeah, I tried that, but I got weird error. Something about manifest, once I removed the example line about Samsung groups, it worked.
Would you mind to share your local_manifest.

Hey Haze028, thanks for this great write up!
Anyways, im trying to build this for the Sprint LG OG. Do i need to sync with different device trees then this? Im very new at building from source, so, sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks!

I believe you will need different repo's, check out Team LGOG's github(https://github.com/TeamLGOG) They have device tree's for all variants, Chadouming is a member of that team and as such his CM10.1 uses those repo's. The local_manifest for Cyanogenmod in the OP should show you which repo's to use.... then depending on what rom you're looking to build some minor changes might be required.
I've not built using their repo's, but I'll help you in getting it all set up.

I will assume you followed the preceding instructions about installing Python and that it was configured correctly. I would say to "rm -rf ~/bin/repo", which will remove the folder /repo and all its contents... then to start back at #Install the Repo.

i did what you told me to attempt and still got the same error when try to #Install the Repo. Is there anything else that i can do. i just don't get what im doing wrong because i did it right when i did my own CM build, just attempiting now to make my own AOSPA ROM for the S4.

I assume there's a better way than mine, but I always go into <your source location>/.repo and edit manifest.xml to include CM's android_device_samsung_jf-common, android_device_samsung_jfltetmo, and android_kernel_samsung_jf. After adding them to your manifest, just do another repo sync and you should have everything you need to start cranking out a build...

That looks good, but I didn't even think that @ayysir has his PA tree on his github.
I've never built PA but I would assume you could use CM's tree with a few modifications here and there.

So would it be okay for me to put the CM trees that it in the local manifest? just making sure, and then do the repo sync sorry for the noobness just getting the hang of things and really intrested on building PA

[CM13] CM13 not building (libTimeService missing)

Hello,
I am trying to build CM13 for h815 myself, following the instructions from the CyanogenMod wiki.
When I execute brunch h815, after some time the build breaks with the message
make: *** No rule to make target 'vendor/lge/g4-common/proprietary/vendor/lib/libTimeService.so', needed by '~/android/system/out/target/product/h815/obj_arm/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libTimeService_intermediates/LINKED/libTimeService.so'. Stop.

I know that libTimeService was in the proprietary files list in CM12, but was removed in CM13 and is also not present on my device (I searched in each lib and lib64 folder I was able to find on the device running CM13).
Is there some option to disable libraries dependend on libTimeService being built or do I forget some other step? Obviously, it must be possible to build for h815 from source as there are nightly builds for the device, so I think there is some configuration missing on my machine, but I don't see which.
Kind regards
spainer

Did no one else have a similar problem when building for H815 yourself? Do you all have the library on your phone?
I would also be thankful for tips where to start trying to solve the problems or which components could be related to this...

you need to sync the proprietary files in vendor/lge
https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge

This worked, thank you very much.
So, if I see it right, the build instructions in the CyanogenMod wiki are wrong I the section to extract the proprietary blobs. Instead of executing ./extract_files.sh in ~/android/system/device/lge/h815, one should
1. create a local manifest to sync vendor/lge to the repository given above and
2. execute repo sync.
When you confirm this fix for the build instructions, I can change the CyanogenMod wiki, so that others can benefit from your solution...

Works for me apparently. As as newbie, it's not obvious how to create the local manifest.
I went with this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github />
</manifest>
in ".repo/local_manifests/mine.xml", leaving "roomservice.xml" alone. Not sure if that one would
be needed still.
Yours,
Kay

I ran into the same problem. I'm going to try your solution and see what happens. BTW I noticed your code has a couple of typos. This should work:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" />
</manifest>
Thanks

Also, does this mean we should throw out the proprietary blobs if we've already extracted them?

Got a successful build, gonna test it soon.

No .zip file after successful LinegaeOS 14 gtaxlwifi build

Hello Friends,
I am new to build LineageOS. Today I have successfully built a gtaxlwifi build but got no .ZIP file that I can use with TWRP in the 'OUT'.
Used Valera1978's "guidelines" of how to build it, can find it here at the bottom of the page.
Sorry but cannot link the page as I am too new to this forum...
Here is the guideline from his page:
Device configuration for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A

How To Build LineageOS for Samsung Galaxy Tab A
Make a workspace
mkdir cm14 cd cm14
Do repo init & sync
repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1
Create .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="Valera1978/android_device_samsung_gtaxlwifi" path="device/samsung/gtaxlwifi" remote="github" />

<project name="LineageOS/android_hardware_samsung_slsi-cm_openmax" path="hardware/samsung_slsi-cm/openmax" remote="github" />
</manifest>
repo sync
Copy proprietary vendor files
There are two options to to that. Connect your device with adb enabled and run:
./extract-files.sh
Or if you have the system image unpacked on your disk, then simply run:
STOCK_ROM_DIR=/path/to/system ./extract-files.sh
Setup environment
. build/envsetup.sh
Build cm14
brunch gtaxlwifi
Can someone tell me what can I be possibly doing wrong?
Many thanks!

I've never built a ROM before but, I believe that the following thread is one of the best places to obtain some member guidance with this.

Thanks for the answer, I never found out what the problem is, but managed to work it around.
1.: build with $ make -j4
2.: $ make clobber
3.: $ breakfast gtaxlwifi
4.: rebuild again with $ brunch gtaxlwifi
and voila the zip is going to be there. If I don't do the $ make clobber thing the $ brunch build will never produce the zip.
This is probably due to the lack of my knowledge in this topic, but anyway, it works now.

I faced the same issue.
Compiling using "m" or "brunch" didn't output zip, but mka bacon made it...
