Hey all, new to here but not new to android. I wanted to try to build AOSP (not CM10, or AOKP) from source so that I can have a pure Google AOSP ROM to play around with (never built from source before) . I've gotten the source for 4.2.1 from Google source and everything is setup in my virtual Ubuntu machine, but I don't know what to do about the proprietary binaries for the 747.
Can someone tell me which files I would need from say, Cm10's github and where to put them?
Thanks.

First off, I would like to say that I love this phone. I've built a couple takes of CM using the Cyanogenmod source, and am quite aware that it is based off of AOSP along with other custom modifications etc. I may be wrong, but from what I can infer, the buildspec.mk file that you must copy to the root of the source folder determines the build when you make. If CM is made from AOSP, and already contains a full working AOSP setup/configuration, how would I go about building a straight AOSP rom from the source without any external additions?

Everything is based on AOSP. Everything. If you want to build pure AOSP, you need to download AOSP from AOSP. You can't build pure AOSP from source that IS NOT pure AOSP because it HAS BEEN CHANGED.

Well, I pulled the files from AOSP git but I have no other build/make files to go off of other than Cyanogen's. How would I know what lines to comment out and what lines to keep?

I think you will have more to do to get something built from scratch. From a software engineering perspective you will have to use some code that was built to bridge between the hardware (G2 specific) and the stock operating system. This is a classic UNIX paradigm - the source is portable, but you have to have the interfaces to the hardware to hook in and create a complete set.
I'm finding that my phone has a Froyo WiFi calling app, and this is being used under Gingerbread because I'm using CM7.0.3 (Gingerbread based ROM). Not a clean combination.
I'm working from the CM source tree... Take a look here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Vision
Tommy.
I'm working on my first android build for toro using the CM10 jellybean branch. I'm able to get everything to build, including the four proprietary binaries provided by AOSP, but am obviously missing the camera, gps, and nfc binaries which AOSP does not distribute.
My question is, what are other ROM developers using for these? Will the 4.0.4 binaries for this hardware work? What about the binaries from maguro?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
I came from black berry so little confused on everything. Can somebody help me understand some of this.

They're branches of ROM development. Different individuals and teams work on their own ROMs and distribute them regularly. They each have their own features, looks and performance tweaks that they think are best.
As a quick start, "AOSP" is the Android Open Source Project. Google maintains the open source Android code, and individuals can pull from it and build their own ROMs off of that. So when someone says their ROM is "AOSP based", they're saying that they pulled the source from Google then modified it.
And like-wise with CM10/AOKP they provide their own source code.
CM10 = Cyanogenmod team. A very popular ROM. They do have their own ROM but also provide their own source code for those wanting to start with an already modified base. As an example CM10 based ROMs usually come with certain additional features like the CM kernel, profiles, etc.
AOKP = Android Open Kang Project. As the name suggests it is also the same idea. A source code provided by a developer of a Popular ROM (AOKP) for other users to use. Also comes with features not included in the base AOSP ROM
If any of that is wrong someone will correct me I'm sure
I just got my new laptop, however, it has a UEFI bios, and grub doesn't play well with my computer so I haven't been able to set up my Build Environment to start compiling AOSPA, which has been my favorite ROM since the beginning of time Anyways, I just got my S2 as a backup phone, and I'd like to start making things from source as soon as everything else gets setup.
Would anyone care for AOSPA?
Yes AOSP ...
You can start a hybrid rom android 4.1.2 to start and then jump to 4.2.2 would be great ..

Yes. The more roms the merrier:good:
Hey guys,
can anyone compile this Rom with the latest Linaro? Or can i compile this?
I was googlin and found out thats possible to Build a Rom with linaro.
But it seems to working with Linux. My System is Windows -.-
Please.
I love the settings from these Rom's
Have you gotten in touch with the ROM developer to see if they are interested in maybe building a linaro version? Also this is the wrong place for the question.
