I was just flipping through a few pages of t'internet when I came across this. I saw a few posts in some kernel threads, but nothing substantial, so I thought I would share:
http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/2012/04/30/linaro-android-running-on-galaxy-nexus/
According to the website:
Developers are able to create optimized Linux-based devices with the support of Linaro. For example, Linaro uses the latest GCC 4.6 toolchain to build Android, enabling Linaro's Android to outperform standard Android builds in benchmarks and real-world tasks.
Would be really interested in seeing more discussion on this...
How does the GCC version make a noticeable difference?
Honest question.
To be honest I'm not really sure, and it's possibly just unsubstantiated claims...
Anyone install this? I am really interested in trying this. I can be a dummy if someone shows me what to install. Bunch of files that I am totally confused with

He gives you the commands to build the full package, just copy/paste...
I am still pretty confused. I am a noob and have no experience with those commands. I understand copy and paste but do i need to d/l anything? I tried just coping into terminal but didn't work. Sorry for being a noob. I searched Google and read a lot but still nothing. I would love to learn more, if someone could help and guide me a little bit more that would be awesome!

I will build it for you guys a long as that toolchain works under 64 bit.
Awesome dude. Thanks so much. What do you mean by build? (Scrub here) just something easy to flash?
Also, the one and only fransico is gunna look into the omap. I wish I was smart enough to he these awesome devs.

By build I mean download the source, compile it, and upload a flashable package. Give me a couple days though. I dont have my buildbox up to download the source at the moment.

Francisco Franco (franco kernel) has said he is looking in to this right now, perhaps as an additional tweak to his popular kernel
i feel retarded. can anyone walk me through how to get this on my phone?
it would be greatly appreciated
Well, i had seen this before, might as well give it a go tomorrow.
adrynalyne, when will be getting your build box again?
On a side note, fugumod uses 4.7 toolchain, which i think is a custom toolchain based of linaro's, but i could be wrong.

Building CM10 with extra patches from CM gerrit and using the Linaro toolchain. Roms were built with -O3 and strict-aliasing (for packages that were compatible).
Updates can be found on my Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/106870161233159147936/posts
Builds will be updated only when there are major changes to CM10.
First!

Uh, can you please explain more what this is? Look at other ROM OP's and then yours. Not all people are going to understand what this means. And if they don't understand it. Chances are they won't try out the ROM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Linaro creates a modified, more optimized android tool chain for compiling android kernels and ROMs with. They also commit fixes which allow other optimization flags like the ones I mentioned. All together, these optimizations result in what seems to be a slightly faster ROM, though it could all just be placebo.

On my last device, packages compiled with -O3 were noticeably improved.
I personally like the layout of the OP. No reason to list features that we all know are already present, or provide the same screenshots that are on every other thread lol.
Which packages were compiled with -O3?

Haha yea it's cm10, pretty sure we all know what it looks like...
Kernel and system were all compiled with -O3, not all system binaries were able to be compiled with strict-aliasing, I would literally have to go through all the make files to tell you which ones though.

It's all good dude. They were mature and respectful with what they said, plus they know their stuff. So I respect them 100% and actually took the advice to heart. I had them remove my thread because all it really was, was a tweaked kang. So I'm starting over. Going to make a unique one that'll be one of a kind.
Anyway, I apologize for talking about another ROM in a ROM thread and I mean absolutely zero disrespect. I, as well as many others, always love to see new ROMs

No problem, I don't really consider this my ROM. I just tweaked the build system a little, merged some patches and pulled some stuff off CM's gerrit because sometimes I think they take too long to ship features (though I don't blame them, its better to test and make sure things are stable).
I have been doing these for myself for while and some friends expressed an interest. They seemed to have good results, so I thought others might like to give it a try. This build does not include the string optimizations for bionic because they still break the camera, unfortunately those string routine opts are a lot of what makes the linaro builds a lot faster, but the tool chain and he other optimization flags seem to help anyway. Bero claims the camera works on his maguro builds with string opts, but I have tested them just about every way I can and cannot get it to work.
Anyway glad people are using the builds, I will be putting out new ones on an almost nightly basis hopefully. Follow me on Google+ as that is much easier for me to post notifications to.

Added, but still no boot. You can DL in OP
the problem is that everything 4.2 related on aosp, cm, and on code aurora for qualcomm SoCs is all based on the msm8960. I played around a bit before I went out of town for the last 2 weeks. I posted some info that might be useful in the Skyrocket forums here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990891
I don't know if the issue is with the device repos, the kernel, or both, but as it is now, none of the msm8660 drivers/libs are getting compiled during the build (display, audio, bluetooth, among other stuff). Adding them in from a cm10.0 build also did not work. I'm also not sure if the current msm8660-common device repo or msm8660-common kernel repo is compatible with the current implementation of "ion" rather than pmem and ashmem. My best guess is that the device_samsung_msm8660-common, device_samsung_celox-common, device_samsung_skyrocket, and device_samsung_hercules all need some significant refactoring/hacking to get it inline with 4.2 and that's beyond my knowledge in this area. I also dont know if it might be possible to incorporate the device_qcom-common repo and trim redundant/conflicting code in those other repos, but like I was saying before, that repo currently just supports the msm8960.

What's the status now bro
Ok, about a year ago i decided i wanted to try out building from source for my phone. Well that was all fine and dandy, but i didnt know how or where to start. I eventually learned and it turned out to be simpler than i thought! Although rather daunting at first i began to grasp the concept after awhile. So then i figured, "there ought' to be an easier way to do this". And here i am, putting all the things i learned over the year together, to create a guide to encourage everyone to give it a shot!
If you have any questions, or would like to contribute. Please post in the thread for everyone else to see. Thanks Also, i will eventually include text based guides as well.
Can you build?
To start building, your computer has to meet certain specifications or it may not work out. If possible try to meet the minimum requirements listed below. I will list my specs as well for those who may be curious
Minimum- May take hours to build (2-3)
Processor: dual-core 2Ghz
RAM: 4gb
HDD: 100gb free space
My specs- Takes at most 1hour and 15mins
Processor: AMD Phenom X6 1090T 3.5Ghz (6core)
RAM: 8gb DDR3
HDD: 1TB
Step 1- Select your distro
Alright, there are HUNDREDS of distros to choose from. For ease of following this guide i recommend staying with a debian based distro. Since commands tend to vary between Redhat, Gentoo, RPM, etc...
Some distros i recommend:
Ubuntu 12.04+ <--- my favorite
Elementary OS (latest)
Linux Mint 14+
Crunchbang Linux
Now after you have selected the distro you would like to use, install it! It's fairly straight forward, just follow the install wizard and you should be ok. (i can help you if you need me to)
Step 2- Setup your computer
So you've installed your OS of choice? GREAT! Now its time to configure everything to run the way its supposed to. Sound hard? Well trust me, its a piece of cake
Start with adding this line to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc with the commands below and then watch the video following that.
Code:
cd
Code:
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
now add this to the bottom
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Step 3- Gathering the Source
Your done setting up your computer? Wasnt as bad as you thought was it? Well since your done with that we may as well grab some source while were at it.
.
mine!
back off! this is mine too
i know, i know... but just incase ANOTHER! :3

if you know that it has nothing to do with this thread then why ask? And if your asking about a touchwiz 4.4 no one knows samsung usually takes forever to do this. For example they just started rolling out 4.3 for the note 2 so my guess would be about a year lol. And as for a AOSP KitKat...yet again no one knows btw never ask for ETA's

I downloaded this from Sammy a few weeks back, and I was struck by how little is there. Yes, the full kernel sources are there - though of course a lot of stuff is still hidden in binary firmware blobs (presumably the TIMA/KNOX interface falls in this category). What struck me though was how little *platform* stuff is there. Is anyone else surprised by this? I would've thought they built more of their work on open-source foundations, but maybe not.
Is becoming more TizenOS with each new phone if you ask me

I can agree with this.

Well you have to remember, 4.3 Samsung is 4.3 samsung. If you ever looked inside the apks, there is a ton of stuff not used. Reason that's so, it's more generic across devices.
The only real changes are drivers/libs. A lot of those get pulled from the device when building anyway.
As far as I've ever seen, an individual cannot build a lib. You cannot reverse engineer them. Nothing.
If the specific libs needed to make things work are not available, then they just won't work yet. It's that plain an simple. I've helped out a lot in source building threads.
I wish it was easier, but sadly it's not.

Yeah, I've done a lot of work administering standard linux machines and it's a completely different world. They may be using an open-source core OS, but it's clear that none of the vendors treat their development itself as a process that contributes to free software.
By libs, do you mean the kernel modules and/or binary firmware blobs that are needed to support different bits of hardware? Or actual system libraries? I guess in this case, both are frequently closed. I heard a couple months back that the Android lead engineer at Google actually stepped down over the issue of OEM-supplied firmware blobs - specifically how un-transparent the process is, and how it's hard to even get access to the binaries for distribution, let alone the source D:
I have 4.4.2 source. Github. Linux building environment. Now I'm making a stock ROM to upload to XDA. Anyone with time to explain how to do so. All info accepted (-_-).
