Hey Guys,
I've noticed many other phones have guides explaining how to download and compile Android for their phones including proprietary drivers and misc files. I know CM6/CM7 and MIUI all are very clearly doing this but I was wondering if we could get any kind of documentation like that for the Epic? It doesn't have to include any super detailed coding information other then how to download AOSP, Samsungs required drivers, and build them into a "working" rom of some kind..
The drivers and kernels you guys have been using so far must be available via some kind of git command..
I'd love to be able to compile a ROM just to learn about it lol.
Think a quick and dirty write up for compiling a rom could happen? I think it would really help incoming developers and newbies alike.
+1 on this.
+1 as I would like a good starting point...
Samsung Epic using Team Viper's latest ROM and kernel
I'm glad to see some support for this. I sincerely hope a developer takes this seriously enough to help us out!
I'm answering my own question here
Check it out... it's how to build CM for the epic. Anyone interested in learning the process could probably follow this guide and accomplish it. Took it from the CM post in General.

Thank you! That is very interesting. I must try it!

I'm trying it now for fun... still downloading the source... the first repo sync takes a while, I believe it's a few GB's in size..
I don't believe this includes the kernel though... I'm sure it's posted somewhere for those interested in looking at it.. just gotta dig around.

Steps seem to be broken.. the ./get-rommanager and ./getgooglefiles -v HDPI or whatever both don't work because of broken web links.
Seems this hasn't been updated in a while..
I tried to go on without them following the directions but it doesn't work, says something about the vibrant? idk.. I think the directions would need updating to work properly.. at least the code was fun to look at.
Still hoping a developer can teach us how to compile lets say just 100% AOSP for our phones using our progress so far with the drivers.. i think the drivers need to be their own branch of code so all devs can use them for their own roms.. maybe it's already like this? Idk pretty new to rom compiling.
I have learned over the last month a whole lot about modding, flashing, tweaking, etc.... What I am looking into now is a good place to start as far as contributing (dev type). There are a lot of forums here (obviously), that have some good tips and tricks, but I wanted to know from the source(es). Where is a good place for me to start, as far as tools, building environments, etc..?
So far I have hit up almost every android forum there is. I found a lot of tools from code.google.com, have sdk installed, have formatted my mac osx for HPS+ (case sensitive), installed developer tools for mac and macports, but I am stuck here. Any sort of guidance would be greatly appreciated.

yea no need to install seperate drivers for each phone
WOW. I didn't know how much of a pain in the @$$ it was to triple boot a macbook. It took me 2 days to get this thing running the way I wanted it. So now I have my all purpose machine...... I have found an open source training center located here: http://marakana.com, if anyone is interested. I will be reading, typing, etc... for a while, then testing, testing, testing.
I would like to thank all of you who pointed out some good tools and places to learn from. I will be checking back in, as I have become addicted to this forum, but as I said, nose will be buried figuring this out.
And also, to all you DEVS, thank you for all the effort, time, dedication, and sleepless nights coming out with ROMS-Kernels-Themes etc..... I for one can now truly understand what is put into these.
HELLO EVERY BODY I was just wondering if it is possible to do a port of benjamingwynn's super awsome .sense rom to the mytouch 3g slide?
It's just a really great rom that might just bring the mt3gs back for one last time.
Just don't want to give up on this phone, I love it to much.
well, i might, but, im more focused on getting WiFi to work in ANY sense 3.5 rom
Well that is important and I thank you for working on it! I
I just wanted to know so I can give porting a rom a try. Want to contribute something instead of just using.

well, start by setting up either a linux partition, or install cygwin (you need the custom one in the dsixda kitchen thread) and setting up your kitchen, but for the most par, just make sure you are trying to port a non-sense rom with a sense base, or vise-versa
Also, always replace /system/usr and /system/bin/akmd
but you will figure out what else on your own

Dont know if this will help or not. You may or may not be aware of it. I checked out the thread a little, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445517 and development has been suspended. Apparently there were some problems with wifi and cell service on the latest version 3.0 from the little bit I read there. I did notice a few people saying that v2.0.1 was working pretty good for them though.
It also appears that they had it working for the Legend in v2.0.1 so that could be the easiest port if you do decide to tackle it. (The Legend is nearly identical to our Espresso if I am remembering correctly)
v3.0 was available for the Wildfire and the Salsa, and since we have a working port of Salsa, that may help as well (for either the 3.0 or 2.0.1).
Sorry I can't be much more help than this right now. Hopefully this can help give you some ideas.
Note: the download links do not work at all, but i did find them all here.

One more question what are the minimum requirements for a PC, I have 4 gigs of ram two hard drives one with 250 gb the other with 1 tb and a pentium core duo processor I think. (Not sure on the processor, been a while since I looked)

I would say that should be plenty. I have not yet attempted compiling or porting myself but i use a much weaker machine for a lot of my android stuff and it has been pretty good for the mods and such ive been working on. Search google or xda for android development min requirements and you should find some info on recommended specs for what u want to do.

one more thing I tried to plug my mt3gs to my pc but neither my wife's laptop or my desktop wont recognize my phone neither htc sync or as a mass storage device, as I am going to start my little project on saturday. So just want to know if there is a solution for this? Can someone please help me your help is very very appreciated.
Have u tried a different cable? Does the phone start charging when u plug it into the PC? if u just want to transfer files u can try an app like SwiFTP from the market. I believe there are also ways to run adb over wifi, but ive never looked into it so not totally sure bout that. Did u check to make sure in settings that its not set to Charge Only?

This all started to happen with the original cord that came with the phone but I will try different cords just too see if I can get it to work. And if not I will look in to that adb through wifi thing, but most likely if a different cord works I will still research that whole process. I thank you for your help and advice. :thumbup:

Developers Support Thread
What does that mean?
Quite literally, this thread is intended to support developers. I intend to help out anyone who needs a hand in an attempt to develop for the Galaxy Nexus, or any other phone but I'm going to reference my website with step by step instructions to get you through the beginning stages and comfortable with development. This will also cut down on the number of "noob questions".
Background:
My private messages and e-mail stay filled with usually the same questions. There are lots of people who have android phones and the excitement of owning them doesn't stop there. They want to learn how these other people are creating custom roms on their phone. Some people want a minimalism rom, pure AOSP with maybe one or two mods, such as reboot and status bar toggles, but otherwise want a stock setup. They browse around all these great roms but they are just too many mods for their taste. What do you do from there? You can request a developer release a version with only those two mods, and then wait for the end of time because it's not coming. Or you can compile your own rom from source code and have whatever mods you choose.
Rules:
1) No trolling. If someone appears to be a troll and everyone agrees they are a troll, leave it at that. NOT responding to a troll is the only way to defeat them so practice that rampid in this thread.
2) Anyone who knows an answer to a question posted, feel free to join in, the entire community including current developers should participate. This will only serve to strengthen the development community.
3) No question is too small. Everyone starts somewhere so if someone post asking what a terminal is, or how to find usb debugging in settings, do not discourage them from continuing to learn. There is no place for that and you will have become a troll. You will know it too because everyone will ignore your comments .
Get your start here:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
This is google's own instruction but it's hard for some people just starting off to feel comfortable with. I have elaborated on this guide with an entire website aimed at educating people. Please visit here: http://www.dreamsforgotten.net Understand the site is very new, I have been working on it for a month or so, but it will grow and evolve as does this thread. Any questions that get tackled here that are repeated, and seem to affect many people, I will add the resolution to the website as well.
I do have ad sense on the website in an attempt to cover the hosting fees, there is no option to set up an account @ dreamsforgotten.net. Anyone is free to stop by and view it, and take from it what they need. So far I have enough instruction in place to get anyone who is using a supported development device (as well as sprint and verizon galaxy nexi lol) compiling from source rather quickly.
Please leave me feedback on what you would like to see addressed in the future, and consider this the support thread. Dreamsforgotten.net is for you to get a step by step instruction on setting up an environment, this thread is for you to expand that and get assistance when you hit a snag in the road. Thanks guys and I'll be responding to questions as I get time. Enjoy.
Okay im planning on Porting Rasbean Jelly to the Toroplus variant as Dreams and others from the Black Bean thread know. Just some questions.. Ubuntu 12.10 was just released and that is what i am planning on installing since it now supports my laptop. Will that be sufficient? I remember hearing some issues with compiling on it. Also how much space should i dedicate to the install? I planned on dedicating around 250GB but all im doing is syncing Rascarlo's git with his permission of course and then adding the necesseties for the toroplus (if thats even what im needing to do). And compiling? Do i honestly need that much space? Also will i need Swap to help my Laptop build? It has 6GB's of RAM and i hear the Minimum for building is around 16GB's otherwise it will take quite a while. Any insight would be great

I already spoke with you but i recommend two hundred gigs really two fifty minimum hdd. I roll with 8 gigs but compile time is horrendous since jelly bean. I'm sure almost all distributions can be set up to develop debian arch mint ubuntu etc but each have to be done so desperately. I'll work on write ups for each java 6 being the biggest hurdle for most new developers.

Yeah on the build android page there are directions for setting up ccache you have to add a line to your bash rc and run a command before you build. When I head home, I'll add a page in tutorials explaining that further, it was next on the list.

Galaxy Nexus, I'd say don't do that. If you have a machine even remotely capable put you a linux partition, through VM if you must , and compile you a version from source. With step by step instructions those too mods wouldn't be that hard. First off, by decompiling you have to decompile both stock rom and a rom with the features you want. Then you have to put those changes in your file in smali which is bytecode aka machine readable. If you know my history, you know I have done this before with the Nexus S because the mod I wanted to copy was samsung proprietary code but in no other circumstance would I want to do that. You need to sync google source, add in the files for your phone, and then do some searching on github to find the two mods your wanting. You copy that code into your source and compile. It's more difficult than that and I just hit you with a lot so start at it, and when you reach a snag come back for help. But...if you must do this in smali...this is what you missing based on what you say you already started. decompile systemui.apk decompile frameworks/base decompile settings.apk. Find (whatever rom you find source for your mod) their version of the file rom control.apk. Copy that in your zip (obviously last step). Diff merge your stock decompiled 3 files against the rom's smali files. Same way as source, use github to find the affected lines of code. Copy over all code, all images, all xml files that are missing. Fix what's there and altered. Settings.apk is going to have a file in src/com/android/settings/foo/foo/ called settings.smali. This file is where your mods in rom control are going to be able to speak to mods you just did to the frameworks/base.

No problem, you start the work and I'll help where needed. Goto my website and use google for the VM. That should get you to where you are ready to build. Once you get there I'll help you with the options to both find the source code changes for your mods, and incorporate them into your source code.

Yeah that's what I feared... didn't feel like having to reinstall... I've been using 12.10 not .04 I know motcher uses 12.04 just fine. Going to get a bootable for it hopefully it likes my laptop.

I prefer debian over ubuntu now, with any distro that don't work with you pc out the box you probably need a proprietary kernel version. If you have a lap top that sound doesn't work you'll def need one. Additional files may need to be loaded for Wi-Fi support as well. All of these have pretty easy guides to get the job done. Be sure to set Linux up completely before establishing the build environment.

Okay, so I've had i317 for about 4 months now, its a great phone. I would just love to see an ics 4.0.4 rom, be it stock or aosp,, aokp, etc for this device. The reason being is that there are alot of apps I used to use, such as UMA and a few others I cannot remember as of right now. Forgive me if this isn't the correct area to post the question lol. But can anyone possibly help me with my issue I'm having? A. ort or something would be ideal if possible.
On a side note: I have some prior knowledge with developing roms and getting them to work fully and such, like betas alphas and what not. just haven't gave much thought as to post on the forum untill now. So I'm not completely of the noob calibur so to speak.
Lastly, my final question, would anyone be interested in deving up a 100% pure custom 4.3 rom that is completely Pokemon themed right down to the contacts and dialer. I will include more detail upon request, also one that isn't 10.1 based or cm in general. The reason I say non cm based is because volume+ sound boost breaks the speaker and crackles pretty badly, and i am partialy deaf so the apk is much needed. Any help would be be very appreciated and id be eternally greatful.

On a side note: I have some prior knowledge with developing roms and getting them to work fully and such, like betas alphas and what not. just haven't gave much thought as to post on the forum untill now. So I'm not completely of the noob calibur so to speak.
Lastly, my final question, would anyone be interested in deving up a 100% pure custom 4.3 rom that is completely Pokemon themed right down to the contacts and dialer. I will include more detail upon request, also one that isn't 10.1 based or cm in general. The reason I say non cm based is because volume+ sound boost breaks the speaker and crackles pretty badly, and i am partialy deaf so the apk is much needed. Any help would be be very appreciated and id be eternally greatful.

It's not going to happen. The note 2 was shipped with 4.1.1 (or higher) so there is no 4.0 source for devs to work with.
Also, since pretty much every AOSP rom uses the CM Theme Manager, it's not that common to see themed roms (there are exceptions, but they tend to be lightly themed). Either find a CM theme to your liking or learn to theme your rom.
Sorry my friend...
You aren't the only one wanting it...
I'd even take a nice CM6 ROM for this device...
But as mentioned... It's just a dream... g

Okay, well shoot. Could you at least tell me that the possibility to get an apk to adapt and work on a newer rom is possible? I ask this because the main reason for me asking a dream question is simply that I love the ultimate mobile armor apk. it is the best privacy apk ever thought of. It was removed for reasons unknown. Back when I had my S3 and I717, it worked on both. Sadly it will not stick on the rooms I run currently. (Cleanrom 5.0, lionrom 2.1, etc.) Could the scripts and such be altered somehow for it to be compatible? On the S3 I always ran cm10 and its stick. Any thoughts, ideas and suggestions that are helpful and or leading to an apk exactly similar to ultimate mobile armour would be greatly appreciated.

Apk alteration is very possible ...
The trick is finding a dev to work it out ...and since apps are owned by their respective creators ...you would need permission from him/her to use or modify the code...
And I've always said it ...
A few emails and pm's go a long way..
Hit up the dev and see what you can learn ...g

Ive looked and searched and I've found nothing from the devs of this apk. Its been completely stricken from the web. What are my other options here as far as these apk Modding concerns go? I've found nothing for secure mobile sadly.
I see...
That being said ...it appears the app has been killed off for legal reasons ??
And lookout mobile is inferior how ??
Most of these security apps are monitored via 3rd party in addition to device activity ...
So it stands to reason that if your service for the apk is dead....it won't work anyway..
Best advice...pick an alternate and move forward....
Lookout and AVG are both exceptional ...and many others are available ..
Norton or Mccaffe possibly too...
Happy hunting ...and sorry I couldn't be of more help...g
