Hi! I have built myself a virtual machine on my PC to try my hand at compiling my own rom. I went as far as adding the Slimroms repo and syncing it, but then, the tutorial was over and I was clueless.
I know I need to add another repo from git for my specific device (OneV) but I have no clue how to proceed from there to end up with a flashable ROM.
If any of you have any tutorial, forum, webpage, anything with OneV specific instructions, I'd be really grateful!
Many thanx!

First of all, I'm not a total newbie to this kind of stuff. I've already been creating firmwares for Different mobile Phones, some Linux-running routers and the Sony PSP, but this is my first try on Android.
At first I wanted to start off simply: compile the source on my Ubuntu and flash it - that's how I would start with any open-source 'from the scratch'-project. So I got repo, set it up and synced it, compiled it and created a zip with the rom kitchen to try if it even boots. Well it didn't (this is a bit more complicated than flashing a linux firmware to a router). Then I've taken a look a the update-script and modified it. The rom now installs successfully, but still doesn't boot. Wel my questions are:
1. Are there any guides on properly setting up the update-script? I didn't find anything, but maybe I didn't look in the right places.
2. I probably did everything wrong with the compiling. what are the options I get when I enter 'lunch' for? They should change settings for the compilation right? Am I good with the HTC passion option or do I need anything different?
Finally don't be angry because of my grammar/spelling, I'm from germany and don't get mad because of possibly 'noobish' questions, I promised I searched the forums and giyf.com

I too have searched for this with little to no success, so +1 on this...
Im also in need of a guide how to completely demolish/rebuild the update-script.
Someone who can point a finger?
Nobody? nothing?
hello every one
im new here and i really want to start developing my DHD
so if i wanna learn how to make a ROM, skins...etc
where to start and what do i need ??
learning Java script maybe ??!
If I'm not mistaken, themes/skins are done for particular ROM.
For ROM dev I'd start searching forum, and reading stuff like this:

Google itself has a good guide for building Android from source. Start with a working manifest.xml from a dev here. You need to know Java not Javascript.
If im not mistaken you need a environment built first. Something like whats described here http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

Hey guys!
I just got my serranoltexx and am fairly happy. However, I really would like to try and get AOKP running. Could any devs point me in the direction of where to start, you know, just bootstrap me with some reading? I have a background in Linux and UNIX, have developed some networking stack API projects on windows and have written a ****load of bash, perl etc. scripts in the past. I've also worked on the Matroska container format. Compiling etc. pose no challanges for me. However, I have never fumbled around with Android and I have no idea what drivers and other components might be needed. And how to start finding out what's missing...
I do know how to bootstrap my source repository and sync it... and in theory also how to compile AOKP - for supported devices, that is. What I don't know is: how do I start resolving unmet dependencies, and, you know, generally port a rom to a new device?
Please don't post if you haven't even compiled your own ROM yet. More likely than not, you'd be wasting your time.
I've posted on xda-dev as well, not sure which is the more suitable forum, possibly this one... Link to the other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501539
And please don't post me to this guide right here as it is only of limited help. As I said, I know how to do it in general... You know, this guide:
http://aokp.co/learn/so-you-want-to-build-aokp-jb-ubuntu-1204
I tried to build it, but many things are missing once i flashed the *.zip.
Maybe i messed up with sources and patches.
Tell us if you have success! :good:
Hi
I have asked this before but I haven't gotten the answer and some things have changed.
My goal is to edit the kernel of my device to include rtl8192cu driver.
I have the sources from http://gitgub.com/puresoul/android_kernel_lge_d605 (I hope I got the link right) I am currently stuck at creating the .config file and getting the right files to include the driver. Could anyone help me out, any links to tutorials that actually tell me how to? The guides online are almost all specific to a certain device or their goal is different.
Hi. As the title says, can anyone guide me on how to build ROMs and Kernels on Windows? I have searched and read articles on the net, and they just got me very much confused.
Steps that I took are:
- Installed VM and followed all steps and imported builduntu. This method seems to be not yielding anything.
- I also download Git Desktop for Windows. I have set up an account in Github, made a repo and synced with the desktop equivalent, but I don't know how to clone a repo.
- I seem to follow steps but does not yield anything.
So guys, please help me in this.
And Thanks in Advance!
@MitoTakatori first you should search how to install Linux on a Virtual machine. Which is, Linux running on top of Windows. From there you take the next steps as everything will be done in the Linux Virtual machine you install.
