is there one? because all the one's i have seen run under the windows command. I recently switched to linux (which is miles better than XP ) but i can't carry on my theme without an auto-signer, or at least, knowing how to sign the apks manually.
cheers!
anyone got any info on this yet?
im interested in this as well. i use linux as my main os.

Dear community,
I made a AOSP developer environment for VMWare Workstation 8 or latest VMWare Player (free).
You can easily compile AOSP ROMs without having to set the whole thing up.
You can use this VMWare image as a base to build AOSP ROMs. Imade it for those having trouble getting it to work or maybe if you don't have time to set it up properly. Well if you are downloading this you might have a good reason!
This kit is Google Nexus ready! You can easily compile a AOSP ROM without knowing a line to code.
This VMWare image is:
- ICS ready
- Gingerbread ready
- Fully updated
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Eclipse SDK + ADT
- Android Kitchen
- Froyo and lower is not supported.
PASSWORD: root
Download link:
Part 1 - Stable v1
Part 2 - Stable v1
Part 3 - Stable v1
Image is extracted, where do I start?

Donations are always welcome!
Really really really thanks to you
Great idea. Only one issue.
Any chance we can get some other mirrors?
Oh come on, you asking for donations for this? you looking to buy a nexus and need help?
"Compile a rom without knowing a line of code?" Things can get messy with building you know.
How about informing people what branch is the repo tracking, or what commits will they have to get to sucessfully build..like oprofile (if not on master branch), gtest, slang..not to speak how to use gerrit or git..
It's great you spent time putting all this together, uploading it.. but there's really more to it than just linking to source.android.com.
Also, one last thing, why did you pull gingerbread tree when this is a sub forum/thread for galaxy nexus, which is ICS native?
FYI, Google says that to build AOSP in a VM, at least 16GB of RAM is recommended.

I managed fine with 4gb on my work machine, for some reason though Virtual Box wont build it on my laptop at home
Going to try this method, op thanks for this do I need all three links? or is that three mirrors?
Huge thanks, will definitely help lots of people get started in ROM development.

On your work machine, are you doing the build on the bare metal or in a VM?
I've kind of suspected that Google may be overstating things a bit when they said 16GB minimum for a VM, but never had a chance to test it out myself...
Can you please upload to Megaupload or Multiupload please??
It's not hard to set up an environment....a quick google will give you about 5 commands that you can run and you're ready to start syncing with the AOSP repository. And tbh, I personally prefer VirtualBox over VMWare.

I assigned 4GB and 8 cores to my virtual machine and it was done in less than half an hour on a 2630QM
More mirrors are coming. I am currently working on making the VMWare image smaller in general!
I will possibly take out most applications which are not related to development. I might also take out libreoffice and other big softwares as most of you can install libreoffice etc on your host machine.
I promise I will make everyone happy here! But understand why it's taking so long. I am currently having exams in university. You have to understand that comes first!

This would be useful if you didn't have to wait 12 hours (literally) to download it. Can't donate or download when 12 hours is the price tag. It's too much time. Get the files up on a faster file share and I'll download and donate for sure. It's a great idea and I appreciate it, but 33k a second xfers isn't going to cut it for me

No, I build it on my machine with 4GB of ram (and no swap due to an error ). Haven't tried it in VMware or Virtualbox though, but you don't need 16 GB of ram.

Loading the drivers doesn't mean anything, show me working hciattach and I'll believe it.
If someone wants to donate a broken KF I can find if it's connected in a useable way and if so make it work. Really broken is ok, as in mauled by wild dogs and drowned in the ocean broken. All I need is the mainboard to be physically intact even if it doesn't work.

That looks like output from the diagnostic boot mode (bootmode 8000, DON'T DO THIS WITHOUT FFF INSTALLED). Not sure if BT is in the kernel out of laziness or if there's something else to be found...

Considering bt hardware is on board and in kernel, would be nice if it could be easily enabled/used
Would running a Linux distro on the device pick up Bluetooth hardware and allow you to do something with it? I have Debian running via debootstrap loop file (installed with app called Linux installer on market) but i don't use any ui and don't know how to check for it in a terminal
I'm trying to get up to speed to look at bluetooth too - from what I understand of what I've found so far, it seems like it kinda has to be there and be usable unless they went out of the way to disable it. I suspect making hardware changes to disable something they could just not build into the OS to disable would have been unnecessarily expensive.
I am thinking this because:
1) Wikipedia shows the Kindle Fire is based on the OMAP4430 PandaBoard
2) Pages 36 of the PandaBoard System Reference Manual:
The PandaBoard provides a module (LS Research Inc. P/N LS240-WI-01-A20) that provides a Bluetooth interface, a 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n interface, and an FM interface. This module may be found on sheet 14 of the schematics (reference designator U4). It uses Texas Instruments’ WiLink TM 6.0 solution.

3) According to the Mouser page for part #LS240-WI-01-A20, they share the same antenna:
Both WLAN and Bluetooth share the same antenna port.

So the functionality is there - it's all on the same chip and uses the same antenna as the wifi...
What I'd like to do is get to where I can build CM7 and poke around the code - I've got an OS dev (Windows) background but I've never done anything on Linux so it's taking some time to get the build setup. I've got ICS (not for the Fire) setup to build, just because the directions I was following were for that. Now working on CM7 for the Fire.
If I can get where I can build and flash my own CM7, I'm willing to spend some time doing some trial and brick/fix and trial again...
sweet @LanceDiamond looks like you did some homework
so you have a linux distro up and running with stock asop synced?
cyanogenmod has a wiki on how to compile from their source http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source its pretty massive and as far as i know, you need the whole frigging thing. as far as I can tell, the info for each device is pretty much the same until it comes to specifying which device your building for. you will probably need to git clone extra stuff into the source and probably edit... something in order to build specifically for the kindle fire... its been a while sense I messed with the source and I never manage to make it to these forums until im tired, so sorry if im kinda all over the place

Well....yes and no lol.
I have an Ubuntu VM using VirtualBox with somewhere around 30GB of stuff. I think I actually built some form of stock (non KF non cm7) Android. Then I started reading up on CM7 and Jackpot/Whistlestop work. Git cloned CM7KF tree from Whistlestops Git page. Followed directions to link in directories in spite of being a Linux idiot.
I now have a build that builds a bunch of stuff but eventually stops with a multi paragraph message about how my code is including something not normally included or something like that. Not home again till Monday so can't get the exact error... I may rebuild the VM from scratch when I do get back to it just to eliminate any weirdness from my not knowing what I was doing first time.
Also got a little sidetracked playing with cm7 once I flashed it
One slightly strange thing - in whistlestops cm7 directions for linking in the CM7KF tree, if I follow those steps to the letter I wind up with a dir like this:
/vendor/amazon/amazon/blaze
I assumed that was wrong and I want the tree to look like the others there, ie:
/vendor/amazon/blaze
So I didn't mkdir amazon first and that seems to give me the desired structure....

Really ?? I dont know KF has bluetooth. Why Amazon put Bluetooth there without software to use ???
I've got my build working and I've spent a lot of time digging...
It looks like, as someone said up above in this thread, the kernel needs to be built with bluetooth enabled. And you need the driver and the firmware files put in the right place in your android build tree. Then you'd need to do something to cause the driver and firmware to actually wind up in an image when you build.
I have the files and I have a working CM7 build. I *think* the CM7 kernel has bluetooth enabled so I am thinking it might be possible to hack this around to work without having to actually build the linux ARM7 kernel.
I'm at least encouraged...
FYI, I found the driver here - not sure if it'll work, but easy enough to try - the hard part is going to be figuring out the editing to get it in an image...
awesome work, thank you
Bluetooth would be awesome!
Hopefully the driver is compatible with wiimote and similar programs.
Lance you are teasing me! i like what i am hearing... if theres anything i can do please let me know got a research junction you want to pass off let me know im good with rooting people on...
well you should definitely toouch base with Whistlestop the dev running the cm7 build if you didnt know. im going to google my eyeballs out on your details. This thing has bluetooth i can just smell it.

So let me get this straight? Bluetooth is possible, but not supported by the kernel?? This is simular to the iPhone 2G/iPod Touch 2G having bluetooth radios. But no supported by the kernel.

Kindle Fire Bluetooth
someone asked why Amazon would put bluetooth in the Fire but not have it active? i think the answer is simple. "introducing the KF2. one of the new features is bluetooth". i'm sure Amazon has other features built in but not turned on. would make bringing in the next version cheaper for them, imo.
Yes i know there are ubuntu forums just bare with me please.
So i just got a decent spec computer and saw that you could easily dual boot ubuntu and windows 7 via Wubi. I have a laptop and apprently too many drives and wubi fails. So went and made a usb bootable and it works goes the to proper boot screen and i choose to install ubuntu but it boots to a black screen. Ive searched for a solution and found way to many. Also i didnt quite understand them all to well and have seen that some of them dont work. My laptop specs are
Hp Pavillion dv6z-c600 Quad Edition
AMD A8 3550-mx with Radeon HD discrete graphics.
6GB of RAM
Windows 7 64-bit.
Ive read there is a problem with radeon drivers especially those with discrete class graphics. And there is a solution but it turns the resolution down and it looks terrible. I hope someone smart enough can help me out and possibly give me a visual fix not just a list of instructions.
Or if you can suggest a different flavor of linux that works for laptops and radeon graphic drivers.

Thank you for your reply! Is there a place I can start for a tutorial on how to do this? I really enjoy a puzzle!!
OK I have some experience with this but it's a bit different for mobile devices. Lookup a basic tutorial on Google for compiling a Linux kernel. And what I would do is install a Linux distro, like Ubuntu 13.10, and download the cm sources for cm 11 following hashcode's instruction on his post cm 10.1 post, but use the cm 11 and such repos instead. You will need I would recommend around a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu if you plan on doing this, because the source code of cm + the device tree is at least 15gb, probably bigger for cm, I am compiling a different ROM so it is probably less in my case, anyways the compilation of the ROM takes up a huge amount of space, but I'm a but unaware of the kernel compiling process for android devices in one sense, I am not sure if the kernel is recompiled by the ROM compilation or if you have to do it manually. If you have to do it manually you will want to load up a custom defconfig that hashcode made for our device then check off the otg support before compiling. If you never have compiled a Linux kernel before, I recommend trying to compile one for your PC first to get the hang of it.

After doing all the reading I can, I'm of the opinion that it just won't work. If it was as simple as enabling it in the kernel, I would bet that it would be done by now.

The question is whether OTG detection is implemented for this device, there are two power controllers on this device that may handle ID pin of a USB port, and can handle power output for connected device. First twl6030, I believe it is used just as multi-channel power controller for SoC an other periferial devices, it also has OTG module and may supply power to connected device.
Second smb347, is actually a battery charget and I believe VBUS is connected to it, it supports USB power output of up to 750mA, but I am not sure if there is a driver in linux kernel that may use this IC to output this power.
So I believe it's possible to have OTG wokring, but it may need some R&D and not just enabling it in config.

Why would this be "disabled"? It looks like everyone wants this.. Did someone really "turn it off"? Doesn't make any sense.
