In case anyone is having trouble finding toro as a device target when trying to build from the list of targets from the 'lunch' command... Toro didn't show up in the list but I was able to manually specify it rather than selecting a numeric option.
Devs probably know that works, but amateurs like myself might benefit from that tidbit. Jellybean seems to be building OK for me now.
EDIT: I was asked what I did, more specifically, so I'll put that here in op:
Rather than enter a numeric choice, I entered 'full_toro-userdebug'. Apparently this was a valid response and the build proceeded.
Mind explaining how you manually selected it?

Not at all. Rather than selecting say, 11 or another choice, I entered: full_toro-userdebug. Apparently this was a valid response and the build proceeded.
question... not much into actual developing here but i know my way around the inside of a rom or two... once you compile. will it be a fully capable rom? as in (what the OTA will be like without VZ apps)?

It's not as 'polished'. There are no gapps, the dictionary is not complete (need a version from a factory image/rom), there are extra keyboards (Japanese?), maybe a couple other oddities as compared to a stock ROM. It will certainly be more capable that porting a gsm rom to toro, that's for sure .

You edit the source files. The goodies you want are in the res folder of most applications. /packages/apps in the source code. Here's my question, when I boot it gets to the Google screen and then a black screen. I suspect this here. When I start the build I see this:
Code:
find: 'src': No such file or directory.
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES device/generic/goldfish/data/etc/apns-conf.xml:system/etc/apns-conf.xml ignored.
... Many more of these Product copy ignored things...
And then it finishes compiling. What's up here, I'm pretty sure it's missing drivers and stuff!

Did you install the binaries for toro? There is also a script that will pull them from your phone (so a stock rom is best), which may be better because Google can't give you everything you need for a functional rom (GPS for example). I ended up copying those files from a stock image to my compiled rom.

For future reference, what he's referring to is the extract-files.sh script included in the CM source. If you cannot find the proprietary binaries for a certain device you wanna build for, plug in the phone via usb, cd to the directory with the script and execute the command.

I also got version 4.0.9.99.999.9999.99999 when I synced to the master branch. Thanks for mentioning the workaround to sync with 4.1.1_r1 .
Did you figure out if it's a problem to sync 4.1.1 into a directory that's already synced with master (4.0.9.99...)?
--------------------------------
Update: I think I can answer this question based on JBQ's response:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-building/rtH5ZbJC7qU/-N1lr9MqexYJ
"You can also switch in place: just run "repo init -b <new_manifest_branch>; repo sync" in your existing client."
Sounds like syncing to a new branch in the same working directory should work just fine.
I have a method to install the aosp browser without any root privileges at all and no modifications of the system partition. Just involves installing 2 or 3 apks (depending if you want bookmark syncing). This should work on any of the other nexus devices that came without stock browser. This is also an improvement over the root method as it does not break OTA updates even on rooted devices.
Please don't repost this yet. I want to add in the other languages to browser.apk for the "find on page" button in the menu. I fixed English. The stock nexus roms don't have the string in framework-res for this one button.
Download zip (this is not a cwm package/just extract it or open the files from inside)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/sp3778itcps5iq1/aospbrowser-noroot-blackhand1001.zip
Steps:
1. Use es file manager to browse to system/app and install browserproviderproxy (it will say app not installed, don't worry it worked)
2. Reboot (it will not work without rebooting first)
3. Install Browser4.3_blackhand1001.apk
4. Install ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter_blackhand1001.apk (this will give you bookmark syncing)

Thanks for this. Works very well on my devices.
Updated it so the autocomplete dropdown no longer has the blue line glitch. The style definition for the dropdown is missing on the stock nexus 7 rom so I copied it and put it in the browser itself and pointed to it there.
Added User agent selection in advanced preferences.
Full screen option in labs.
when u say install browserproviderproxy in system/app, do you mean install the one found in the nexus7 directory, or the one in your zip file?

The one on the nexus 7 directory. I updated the download link. It now has user agent selection and a fullscreen mode in the labs menu. The link was pointing to an older version that still had the browserproxyprovider file in the zip. You need to use the one on the device already.

THANK YOU. This worked PERFECTLY on my new nexus 7. I love the tablet but for me Chrome is nowhere near as good and useful as this stock browser, so thanks a lot.

Does this work on all devices as well as previous version of android say for example Sony Xperia S running 4.1.2 (comes with stock browser version 4.1.2-N7_zg)?
yep working fine on my nexus7.. though there's no option for full screen.

dumb question, but since this is going in the system folder, will it affect our ability to receive OTA updates?

Its not going in the system folder. You navigate to folder and open the existing apk to install it. It does not effect OTA updates. I just included another copy of the file for those who don't know where that folder is.

Now we have a fully working (?) cm11... the problem is that there are a lot of gapps packages and no one is "the final" one...
The point is, why we must release updated gapps every time google release new stuff... when there are other people that are already doing that?
The answer is: gapps packages for other phones break panorama on maguro
So I think that would be a good thing if I create a zip package with ONLY GOOGLE CAMERA for maguro. And i created it, picking the necessary files from dhacker29 (thanks!) 20131207 gapps.
So... WHAT DO YOU NEED to have a fully working cm11?
∗ = recommended
1) ROM
Official CM11 nightlies --- changelog ∗
PlayfulGod CM11 (may include addition features!)
2) GAPPS
Nexus 5 gapps (Standard or Core) ∗
ParanoidAndroid gapps
CM gapps
3) KERNEL (optional)
Mpokang_kernel-v10_1080p --- info
4) PANORAMA AND MMS VIDEO FIX
Panorama and mms video fix v4 (~0.4mb) by Suxsem
INSTALL IN THIS ORDER:
READ NOTES BELOW
WIPE DATA IF YOU ARE NOT YET ON CM11
FLASH ROM
FLASH GAPPS
FLASH KERNEL (optional)
FLASH FIX PACKAGE
NOTES
If you get errors while flashing be sure to be on latest recovery... you can use this one: TWRP
Not all gapps packages include Google camera! (for example Nexus 5 Core gapps doesn't include it)
If you have chosen a gapps package that doesn't include it, you can download it from here and flash after gapps: Nexus 5 Google camera
If you need Face unlock feature download it from here and flash after gapps: Nexus 5 Face unlock
Fix package must be last to flash because some kernels include files that would overwrite the fixed ones
that's it. you will not have any more problems with sound search, panorama, face unlock, play store, ecc ecc... and all this stuff is compatible with ART.
most important thing: I didn't test all this really deep. I just tested with a limited types of configurations (didn't tested with pa gapps nor with cm gapps nor with different kernels ecc ecc), i only tested with PlayfulGod cm11, GApps Standard 4.4.1, mpokang kernel and ART... so please let me know if this works for you (and please test this with PA or CM gapps, also with ART)!

So I just rooted my Nexus 7. I am not interested in changing the ROM, unless I really should, since I really like the Stock ROM. What are some good things to do while rooted?
A side note: I called Google before I did the procedure and they said unlocking the bootloader would not void the warranty. So, that is interesting.
... now you search and find cool things to do with your rooted tablet.

I'll toss you three other subjects related to Xposed - MoDaCo, GravityBox and App Settings You'll come a long way with those!
Also, the first things I install after updating firmware are ROM Toolbox, Root Explorer and Xposed. Then you can do anything!

Install busybox once you rooted, if the root process did not install it.
I have a version of busybox (1.21.1) compiled using the android-ndk
As some of the google search pages do not tell you, that if you don't use the ndk it breaks busybox's wget, traceroute, ping etc.
I know their are apps to install busybox, but they want a "donation" which usually I don't mind doing, but not for something I can compile on my own.
