Hey there,
First if all, i'll explain what's in my head.
Use google's stock code for base, (Android 4.3)
Then add some features;
- Advanced Reboot Menu
- PA like "Clear All" button on Recents Menu
- Slim battery percentage
- Volume Rocker wake
For above those, i tried manual way but there are so many changes and humanity make the faults.
For this, i think if i migrate google's source code to my own github, and download it from github it will be easily to Cherry-pick and revert some kinda commits who makes errors.
I have a small info about building and editing. So please be clear.
So, how can i migrate googles source code for 4.3 to my github?

uh....there isnt a 'fork' option because google hosts its own code, it doesnt use github....
have you sync'd the AOSP repo yet?
if you have, then you know you already have the source code ON your computer.
at that point, you can create a project on github and push your repo to it

My upload speed is 80kb/sn. Pushing all of things takes nearly weeks, i guess.
Any suggestion?

From the link on that page (http://android.github.io/), it looks like it might be official; however, it is up to an hour late, is read-only, and holds only the most common repos.
Can i make successful build from there? For gnex?
I mean, build without any errors or something? Because i want the stability at the max.

I don't understand why you think you need github.
You build from source on your machine.

Well, whether you fork or download straight, you need to download whichever one you choose to your computer to build it. I don't know exactly what repos it includes, so I don't know whether all the required repos are there. Also, if you fork, you need to change your manifest to reflect that.

Er, if you have build errors, you won't have a ROM, stable or otherwise.

Yes. Github is just a place to upload your repos. You have your local repos on your computer.
I strongly advise that you research building Android a little more before you begin. Otherwise you'll probably run around in circles for awhile.

You should concern yourself with building a successful ROM first. Learn git and repo and then you can learn cherry picking. There are tutorials literally all over this very site that explain how.

What must i do from now?
You've made changes to the active branch. To cherry-pick now, you need to either commit these changes or revert them.
Never mess with the local master branch, instead create new branches for you to cherry-pick on.

yes, it is 1.2.
What I do is keep my main source as master, then just repo init. However, it should work the same for you:
Code:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.4_r1.2
repo sync
IMM76I is only real advantageous to GSM users though, keep that in mind.

This is just an extremely clean build based off of the Latest AOSP release. It's compiled with linaro. The only real differences from stock AOSP are that I added the embedded superuser. I figure that Android is such a good base to build other things off so of why not leave it be.

ill give it a run i been looking for a clean rooted stock with the superuser in the settings lol oddly enough no joke thankx

BAHAHAHA, yeah I usually flash CM or AOKP for a week and then say screw it I just want to go back to AOSP. Once I get back to my computer this week it'll probably be rebased on Master. It's not a complicated thing. Simply AOSP builds with LatinIMEGoogle being the only difference. ThinkFree is in there too I believe.

I don't have a GSM so I'm a little scurred about building for something that I can't test out myself. Sometime this week I'll have a ROM that's built off of the Master repo and I'll get the Maguro Proprietaries and build that if you'd like.
I may just build once and provide a flashable to add the CDMA or GSM Proprietary files depending on what the person needs.

I have the same problem. After it boots up, wait 1-2 minutes before starting any app. Then you will be able to start almost anything. Even the camera worked for me. But I am back on cm 10.1 because when the screen is about to turn off, I get the boot animation.

Well I tried to switch repos to newer _ion branch, but getting an error while compiling. I think that some kernel files are missing.

Firstly we must fix compile errors and then lets see it will boot or not so can you collect all compile errors and paste it to pastebin. Also did you try some spesific changes on board ancora file in kernel(i wrote in my previous post)

try post up what error during compilation..
normally kernel did not boot up because different ramdisk.. means you need to change necessary thing in ramdisk to make it boot.

Too bad.
But after reading the webpage, it did look too good to be true.
Yeah when I used to moderate at AF we used to see this a lot, reading it shows it talking about HTC specifics such as RUU which stands for rom update utility and s-off which toggles signature verification off so you can write unsigned code to the system. Really people, the ONLY way that the os can ever be updated is if B&N released source, that's not going to happen and even if it did it still might not be enough because of e-ink specific code that might be under a NDA. :banghead:

Thanks for reply, we could not organize a petition to convince B&N to release the source?

I'm gonna say definitely no, because Barnes and Noble is breaking away from Nook. They don't seem to want to have anything to do with Nook anymore.

No need for a petition. Here is the source for v1.2.
Nook2 1.2

Cool, but uh...
What do we do with this file?

A tgz file is a gzipped tar file (UNIX/Linux). I know Winzip will be able to extract it, though it takes two steps. Once you extract it you will have to source code for Nook firmware v1.2. What you do with that is up to you because it is way beyond me.

PS The file would be much easier to work with in Linux or you could extract it to your Window machine using cygwin.

Yeah, I know about the whole .tgz file thing. Been working in this department for a couple years.
But I also don't know what anyone's going to do with that source code!

I don't know either. helmen asked about the source code, I knew where to find it, so I posed it. Perhaps helmen or others might be able to do something with it.

I think he wanted Barnes and Noble to post a source code for the Nook Touch to use Android 4.4.
Am I right, or did I misunderstand?

Well, perhaps I misunderstood. There certainly isn't source code to use Andriod 4.4 on the Nook as B&N never intended that. However some android developers might be able to take the most recent source code, which I posted, and figure out a way to make a new version of Android run on it. (I personally think 4.4 would be a real stretch, but if somebody could figure out the eInk driver situation, 2.3 might be a possibility.) I don't know if the source for the eInk drivers would be in the source code (I doubt it) but if they are, someone might be able to use this.

Ah, I see. Well, thanks for the conversation and the source code (not that I can do much with it, though - ADB and modifying the framework-res.apk are more fun for me! )
