Problems building cm-10.1

Hi everybody,
I am trying to compile CyanogenMod for my Galaxy W. I cloned using
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1
and am using the following local_manifest:
Code:
<manifest>
<remote name="arco" fetch="https://github.com/arco" />
<remote name="ralisi" fetch="ssh://[email protected]/ralisi" />
<project path="device/samsung/ancora" name="android_device_samsung_ancora" remote="ralisi" revision="cm-10.1"/>
<project path="vendor/samsung/ancora" name="android_vendor_samsung_ancora" remote="arco" revision="cm-10.1"/>
<project path="kernel/samsung/samsung-kernel-msm7x30" name="samsung-kernel-msm7x30" remote="arco" revision="cm-10.1"/>
</manifest>
My own repository is a fork of arco´s, but I added the automatic build of the kernel.
Additionally I cherry-picked two commits in /frameworks/native: (sorry, no links because forum does not let me)
hxxps://github.com/camcory/android_frameworks_native/commit/7818c36a19e190f2ba1358b317bd036a78e53b54
hxxps://github.com/camcory/android_frameworks_native/commit/b52dca3e5a9f67feb94b91c3aa88496a7d6b43c3
Everything compiles and an image gets generated. However, when I flash my Image, the phone does not boot. After the initial Samsung-Screen with "Cyanogenmod" on the bottom, the screen turns all black with the backlights turned on. I have also tried compilation using the prebuilt kernel-Images with the same result.
However, I managed to test my kernel: If I flash the recently posted ROM AOIP v1.6b4, and then flash my Kernel onto it, my phone boots and show my newly built kernel in the properties.
Do you have any hints how to build a working image?
I assume the issue is with the userland. Do I need to cherry-pick any other commits for the repositories.
Already thanks in advance

Just in case there is anyone wondering how to do it. I gave up worrying about 10.1 and checked out cm-10.2. I am using this local overlay.
Code:
<manifest>
<remote name="arco" fetch="https://github.com/arco" />
<remote name="ralisi" fetch="ssh://[email protected]/ralisi" />
<project path="device/samsung/ancora" name="android_device_samsung_ancora" remote="ralisi" revision="cm-10.2"/>
<project path="vendor/samsung/ancora" name="android_vendor_samsung_ancora" remote="arco" revision="cm-10.2"/>
<project path="kernel/samsung/samsung-kernel-msm7x30" name="samsung-kernel-msm7x30" remote="arco" revision="cm-10.2"/>
</manifest>
I cherry-picked the two already mentioned commits and I can build cyanogenmod and run cyanogenmod.

To be honest, I dont know. I have also experienced this problem and I tried a rebuild a couple of days later and it seemed that the issue got fixed in the meanwhile.

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 was able to Initialize the ParanoidAndroid Repo but now im stuck on adding the specific device trees for the S4. how do i find it and where? im confused

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.

Attempting to build Liquid Smooth ROM for captivate glide

First off i'm going to say, I know SOME BASIC CODING (I developed some for windows and a little bit on android)
I decided to TRY to build our Captivate glide users more KitKat roms!
So basically I have the source for liquid smooth but I don't know what to do from there (Remember I'm new so don't blow up on me,I'm trying!)
If there is a guide on how to build or you guys can help me on this that would be great!
I was following this guide:
[GUIDE][AOSPA:v3.+] How to Compile AOSPA from Source : + Support and Maintenance
Instead of compiling PA, I decided to use Liquid Smooth (for the life of me couldn't find PA android 4.4.2 REPO!)
did what the guide said and now i'm stuck here:
VERY IMPORTANT: Now, before the final stage sync, make sure there's no code referring to 'ParanoidPreferences' in manifest.
To check that
1) Open your File Browser,
2) Press Ctrl+H (to show hidden files/directories)
3) Navigate to android/system/.repo/manifest.xml
(Right Click & open the XML file in text editor)
*REMOVE ANY 'PARANOIDPREFERENCES' CODE FROM MANIFEST*
*REMOVE GROUPER DEVICE TREE FROM MANIFEST* (This'll be useless, unless you're compiling for Grouper: Nexus 7)
-> Now, Lets add the device specific trees:
Add your own device tree, kernel tree, hardware source tree, & vendor proprietaries tree in the local manifest.
For this, create a new file .repo/local_manifest.xml, & use something in similar terms:
For example, I'm using all corresponding trees for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 - International
Following is just an example, not what you should copy/paste. SEARCH & USE YOUR OWN DEVICE SPECIFIC TREES

I also didn't download the repo into /android/system like it says, I put it into /liquid (followed this) How to compile liquid smooth
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm eager to learn how to do this!
My setup
Ubuntu 13.10 x64

did you read that?
Any error message?
wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo
chmod 777 repo
./repo init -u git://github.com/LiquidSmooth/android.git -b kitkat
./repo sync
Than you should have source.

Well this attempt to develop is on stand still until I go off on my ISP for shutting off my services because we "apparently" did't pay enough when we did!

[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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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:

</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.

Is Anyone Building Other ROMs Not Posted?

The choice of ROMs has slowly been dipping since Lollipop as more and more ROMs no longer have Official support for Galaxy Nexus.
At the same time, newer ROMs are popping up for other devices and they look quite interesting.
Ones I have been looking at are Dirty Unicorns, Screw'd, AICP and OctOS.
However, building an unofficial ROM has been troublesome for me.
I have been focusing on Marshmallow since there are still some bugs with AOSP/Unlegacy nougat.
My main issue is that it isn't clear which gnex repos I should be adding after I have sync'd the main ROM source.
There are lots of different forks around and it isn't clear which one to choose.
Which repos do I need to add for AOSP based ROMs?
What is the recommended way to add them?
Does it make any difference if the ROM uses Cyanogenmod or Omnirom as a base instead of AOSP?
Has anyone built these (or any other ROMs) privately and would like to share all the commands necessary for a successful build?

Take a look at this backstage development
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=18435
SAOSP has more nougat builds,
Then Dirty Unicorn and Pure Nexus.....
Thank him -> @voidz777

My present time is 5 o'clock in the morning.
In other words, it is before going to work.
So I can not write much.lol
Hi, opticyclic
I did not ignore you.
I have been working forever since I got your email.
Because I can not tell the right way unless I port it before telling you.
I was doing screwed work for a while.

But I can not boot it.
Probably, I think it is due to more optimizing.
I got tired because I got tired.lol
After a while, delete https: //github.com/voidz777-crewd.
It is another addition.

If I could write in Japanese here, I can tell you a little more about the way of port.
There is no time now.
PS.Ah, oct could be pored immediately.

@voidz777 No apologies necessary!
Your posts about different ROMs on Google plus are actually what prompted me to try to build some myself!
Thanks for the info.
I'll post back after trying out a few different ROMs and give an update in the OP on any successes.

I tried to build octos with
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/Team-OctOS/platform_manifest.git -b oct-mm
and this in .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<!-- Remotes -->
<remote name="unlegacy"
fetch="https://github.com/Unlegacy-Android/"
review="gerrit.unlegacy-android.cf"

<project remote="unlegacy" path="vendor/ti" name="proprietary_vendor_ti" revision="stable" />
<project remote="unlegacy" path="vendor/widevine" name="proprietary_vendor_widevine" />
</manifest>
However, they are doing something funny with the build/envsetup.sh and it isn't picking up the vendorsetup.sh so the device isn't picked up by brunch/breakfast etc.
As far as I can tell, there is no specific info on GitHub, GooglePlus or any posts on xda on how to add a new device for their ROM.
On to AICP....

Check vendor / rom - name or device / other - device /.
If oct it will be platform_vendor_to.
Let's see the commit log.
Is there any device added?
For example, let's look for mako.
https://github.com/Team-OctOS/platform_vendor_to/commit/d30dd90c018ca521d458c939a2c56ffc5a97741d
Mako has been added by this commitment.
Create the tuna file in the same way.
Well, will you continue your way of thinking? Or do you want to know the answer quickly?

Thanks for the tip.
If they are going to use a different build structure, it should really be on the README or a FAQ somewhere.
It's bad programming practice in general to expect people to search through commit logs just to try to work out how a project works.
So instead of just adding a local manifest, OctOs requires the following:
to.dependencies (same as local manifest but in JSON instead of XML)
to.mk - same as the device board (aosp_tuna.mk)
extra line in vendorsetup_community.sh - it ignores your vendorsetup.sh
Then do lunch aosp_tuna-userdebug.
Then do mka bacon
However, the first time I did this, it overwrote my .repo/local_manifest/roomsevice.xml with a generated version that contained octos revisions instead of the aosp revisions, which obviously failed as there is no octos revision in unlegacy!
Weirdly, after reverting the roomservice.xml and running lunch again didn't overwrite it.
AICP was more straightforward.
I just added the roomservice.xml and ran lunch aosp_tuna-userdebug and mka bacon.
However, both failed with the following error:
Code:
build/core/base_rules.mk:157: *** packages/apps/Nfc//nxp/jni: MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.libnfc_jni already defined by packages/apps/Nfc/nxp/jni/. Stop.
What is weird about this is that it is the same module defining the library, however, the first one has a double slash in the path!

Probably revert this commit
https://github.com/Team-OctOS/platf...mmit/1b8ed2250fc89adce8e0b0dbb6c5ca4d82705ccb
Sent from my Nexus 5

Good catch.
I wonder how that didn't cause a build failure on the build servers.
The next failure in both was:
Code:
build/core/base_rules.mk:157: *** hardware/invensense/60xx/mlsdk: MODULE.TARGET.SHARED_LIBRARIES.libmlplatform already defined by device/samsung/tuna/libsensors. Stop.
That was resolved by removing the Cyanaogenmod project and using the unlegacy one instead, so the local manifest now looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<!-- Remotes -->
<remote name="unlegacy"

<project name="proprietary_vendor_ti" path="vendor/ti" remote="unlegacy" revision="stable" />
<project name="proprietary_vendor_widevine" path="vendor/widevine" remote="unlegacy" />
</manifest>
I chose revision="stable" for android_kernel_samsung_tuna", although there is also "aosp-6.0-sound" but I just wanted any kernel to allow me to compile at this point.
The next error (both ROMs) is this (maven 3 is installed)
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target '/home/buildbot/android/aicp/out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/ambientsdk_intermediates/aar/classes.jar', needed by '/home/buildbot/android/aicp/out/target/common/obj/APPS/messaging_intermediates/AndroidManifest.xml'. Stop.
This relates to this dir https://github.com/AICP/vendor_aicp/
Interestingly, ambientsdk dir existed all thoughout the n7.0 branch and only got removed recently in the n7.1 branch
https://github.com/AICP/vendor_aicp/commit/8f150895f8b361480ac91ef0ace941e06e9f548e
I also don't see any maven messages in the build log and com.cyngn.ambient/ambientsdk/ is not in my ~/.m2/repository which makes me wonder if I am missing a project.
The only similar errors I see online are if people don't have maven installed.
I tried removing the files like the 7.1 branch even though it felt wrong,
Code:
rm vendor/aicp/overlay/common/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/cm_arrays.xml
rm -rf vendor/aicp/ambientsdk
Not surprisingly, it seems like something else is calling it as the same error pops up 25 mins into build.
repo grep ambientsdk shows ContactsCommon, Trebuchet and ContactsProvider using it in the Android.mk files and grepping for ambient shows lot of java imports.
So now I am stuck again.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting to have to deal with errors like this as they don't seem to be device specific.
i.e. there are builds for other devices so how did they compile?
