[Q] Build From Source, Stock AOSP/CM Apps **UPDATE** Answer

I know, I used search...didn't find it
How I would build Email.apk from Src?
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email
I have android-sdk installed on my mac, but I must be missing some easy step! Thanks in advance

Firstly you'll need to post Questions in the Question & Answer section or else the builder will fail, then you'll want to use something like Eclipse to compile the app in.

can a mod move this question to QA then? I was going to look into making some enhancements to EAS, that's why I posted here. Thanks

Sounds Fun

that being said, no one knows how to build an APK directly from source? In the process of compiling all of CM, but haven't broken down the entire process yet.

so I created a build.xml, which helped, but I need help linking the libraries, since I get the following warnings when I run 'ant release'
Code:
droid/email/AccountBackupRestore.java:27: cannot find symbol
[javac] symbol : class Calendar
[javac] location: package android.provider
[javac] import android.provider.Calendar;
[javac] ^
[javac] /home/adam/cyanogenmod/android/system/packages/apps/Email/src/com/android/email/Utility.java:35: package android.security does not exist
[javac] import android.security.MessageDigest;

[javac] import android.provider.Calendar;
[javac] ^
etc...

in case anyone else cares, from main repo directory that you pulled down, just run make "system app name"
easy peasy

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

well, I followed all steps from the Wiki for pulling down source
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Supersonic
instead of doing this
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch supersonic
you can do
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh && make Email
Or separate those two lines, and it should make the Email app. I'm running my modified Email app on my Nook Color now, with no EAS security
**EDIT** To be clear, you have to pull down the entire CM Repo (or at least to my knowledge) just pulling down the Email repo isn't enough, because you will be missing a lot of library code

Toggle App

Well heres what I've been working on (Alot of it with Dougie, he has a git up for his version)
It is fairly complete, I'm posting it over at xda too. Alot of this could actually be modified for other android devices =]

And you may set app switch key to voice search, so mic key will work as voice search.

Didn't have time to test everything but gave it a quick spin but noticed something right away... Couldn't download from playstore. Gave some error about couldn't find information.
Had to go back to spykes last version which is dd, will try to play more later. for reference I don't have any playstore issue after restore.

kudos bubor !

Unfortunately it seems the same issues that Kick is having with calls is present here as well so it's definitely seems to be something from CM. I haven't had anyone try to call me but I made a test call and was unable to end the call.

Hey! I'm at work currently but got chance to test it so here it goes what I found.
Calls: ok. I did 2 calls, receive 2 calls, did 1 outgoing call and put speaker, and receive 1 call and also test with speaker. So far all calls had audio.
Skype, and this is interesting. I tested from the glide to my work skype account, and in the glide the audio is still broken:
- Calling from glide to pc: I could hear myself ok ON the PC (so lets say the other side could hear me), but not FROM the pc, I heard it was all all deep and slow (nothing new to me there). I could even turn on the video call and it worked.
- Calling from pc to glide, skype in the glide just dies and restarts.
I'm sorry I cannot test more, I'm at work. I was using CM 10.1 RC2 from spyke555 and dirty flashed this one (just cleared cache and dalvik).
Bubor, if you can think a protocol for testing specific things (for example 1-test X and note results, 2-test Y and note resulted, after all tests report back to forum with results) somehting like that that would be equal among all that we are testing and might give you insight of the problems or if you need to test just 1 particulare thing, well, for that thing.
Keep it up people, let's give the devs what they need, tests, reports, results, they give us their time doing this, we must at least do the same!

Bubor, its CM10.1.2 o 10.1

10.1.2, you can check in about phone -> "view changelog"
Skype doesnt work. This build should be same as before, same bugs.

Okay. Did full wipe of sdcard and all, now no issues with play store.
Now I have never had voice search work with hot word detection, and that is still the case. Am I just lame or is this the way it should be. I had heard people talk about it working before.
Calls work. Both directions 4 times each tested. can hang up etc.
Unless there is something else supposedly fixed I guess it works for me.

How did you include the kernel? Just put the zip in the kernel/samsung/i927 folder?
Also are you still using the proprietary vendor files from The Covenant?
I know libril is a library for radio access but can you help me understand which one we need and how to include it in the build?
Thanks for any help you can provide still working on my first build after hours of downloading cm repo.

this device tree including kernel binary and modules. It would fail to build, if you include kernel source with this device tree.
Both device and vendor files you can found http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/cm-10.1-20130726-UNOFFICIAL-i927.tgz
You need one more thing that is https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung (just change _ to / for correct path)

When you say kernel binary you mean the zip I download from kickass right? Are you saying I just put that in the kernel/samsung/i927 folder and it will automatically be included?
Just to clarify.
Get rid of device tree I got from spyke555's GIT and use the ones from your tgz. Now I assume I still put them in device/samsung/i927 and vendor/samsung/i927 right?
for the https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung
Do I just git clone that into the root? Or where should I be putting this?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to make sure I learn this and am a help later on.

Depend what is in your boardconfig.mk, if it has prebuild things, you would not put kernel source, but put kernel binary.
TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL := device/samsung/i927/prebuilt/kernel
TARGET_PREBUILT_RECOVERY := device/samsung/i927/prebuilt/recovery.img
If you use kernel source, it would be:
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/samsung/i927
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := tegra_bose_defconfig
Where keren source path, and the other is the defconfig what is in kernel/samsung/i927/arch/arm/configs
When you change _ to / in android_hardware_samsung you get android/hardware/samsung where android is the dir where you start, so you put to hardware/samsung. With command
git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung hardware/samsung

Or you can put to the manifest, so repo sync will update to you.
If you wish, I could put whole directory to somewhere, but it would be something like 30giga.

Thank you Bubor! Couldn't of done it without you!
It appears to be building. I guess I won't know for sure until it is done.

Bubor, local forum users say that GPS is finally fixed in your build. I can confirm that, now GPS status and toolbox shows much more sattelites than previous CM versions. Thanx for that!

[Q] Device name question.

Hi everyone. I am attempting to buld my first ROM and am following a guide to build beanstalk. I am at a point that confuses me. The comand is "breakfast (Device name)". Is this just looking for "n7100" or is there a speacial name I have to put there? Thanks!!
PS: Before anyone say this is not the place for this, Id like to say sorry first. IF i can get this to work and I get permision from scott this will turn into a new Beanstalk build thread.

It depends on the Beanstalk build environment setup. Your best bet is to PM someone that has already built for a device and ask them.
Just something to try, you could try the breakfast command without typing anything after it and see if your device name shows up then.
When I started building from source, I have never used the breakfast command, only lunch and make.

Thanks for the reply. I am running into another problem thats a step before that. I am trying to get the curl command to work. It creates a file called repo but when I try to do the next command repo init "blahblah" I get an error code saying syntay error Doctype HTML. The only thing I can think of is that the repo file should be a python script but is getting saved as html. I dont know how to fix this. Can someone post there repo file. This is the code to I am using to create the repo file.
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo

Yeah. I had a wrong link in the curl command. It was an old link. I googled it and replaced it, now everything seems to be working. Lets see though. Any help you can give though I would apreciate it.

Ok. Next question. Where or how do I get the device specific files for the note 2 so I can try to build the newest beanstalk. I thought they would automatically come from CM but the device isnt supported. Not sure if I mentioned this or not before but I have never done this before so it is a learning experience for me.
