[Q] [REQ] How-to tutorial on building Android from google sources?

Hi.
I'm interested in building Android from Google sources and dropping in one the custom kernels available.
Problem is, I can't find any tutorials (or at least any valid links) to guides of this sort.
Can anyone help?

[Q] Enable Boot Sound in HTC Desire with Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM

Hello,
Somebody knows how to enable boot sound in HTC Desire GSM with CyanogenMod 7.1 ROM??
I was searching for a solution for our device but I couldn't find anything...
I also tried all the solutions that I found for the other devices but it seems that aren't compatible with HTC Desire GSM because nothing worked.
Please anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance!

This is so important it has to be in the development section. :banghead:
via xda app

a better question is how you are able to post on development section as this is your first post.

... ¬¬'
I was searching related information and trying to solve it the last 5 days.
It's obviously that isn't a very important issue, but on the other hand, I think it's a technical problem that cannot be solved by a normal user.
In XDA, I've readed the same thread in other sub-forums of other devices, thats why I posted my thread here.
I've also readed the BEFORE POSTING thread, and then I've decided that this is the better section to post. And if I've correctly interpreted the rules, this section it's for advanced technical issues (NOT FOR IMPORTANT ISSUES) related with development, or ROM development, in that case CM 7.1, because that only occurs with that ROM, with other ROMS the sound can be loaded on Boot Screen.
If I am wrong and this thread has to be posted on another section, please let me know, but it's not necessary to miss your education.

Sorry to say, but you are wrong.
As you clearly state in the topic this is a question and questions belong into the q&a forum. Please read the Forum-Rules.
The answer for your question is:
CM don't has a bootsound. And it's not possible to enable, but to add it.
You'll need an .mp3 , rename to android-audio.mp3 and put it into the same folder as your boot animation.

That is not working in case of HTC Desire GSM with CM and I don't understand why...
I put the same original android-audio.mp3 of the original ROM, or the "droooid" android-audio.mp3 and no matters where I put the mp3 file:
* /data/local
* /system/media
* /system/customize/resource
...
the audio never sounds when bootanimation is playing at the device's boot.

[Q] {-MyMiui-}-{-Port-MIUI-2.12.7-}

Regarding the {-ROM-}-{-MyMiui-}-{-Port-MIUI-2.12.7-}-{12-29-12-} rom...
Every time I hang up from a call I get a com.android.phone has stopped error.
Any thoughts?

might want to post it in the developers section, the section where you got the rom from so the person porting it can look at it and help you figure it out. and also could try searching thru that thread for any posts on similar issues.

[Q] verizon m7 sense 6 update caused root failure on weaksauce plz halp me justincase

What's going on xda? I wanted to post this in the developer forum, so that possibly Ya know, a developer would see it and read it but the site said "no" so I have to post here. I had my phone rooted with weaksauce I was gonna go all out and unlock the boot loader and s-off but weaksauce made it so easy to have root access I was pretty satisfied with just that for a little while at least. Then I got an update Download from Verizon. I pressed where it said update now. I was curious. I'm sorry, anyway now I have the Verizon version of sense 6.0 and weaksauce shows me root failure when it runs. It's been like this for quite some time now and I've been searching around for any info on it but I'm the only person who has made a post about it so far. Other people also have this problem, I made a post on android forums and many others are sharing the same issue. Developers please. Let me know if you share the problem or know the solution or if you are currently working on the solution because I am getting slightly impatient. Thanks

Why not post this in Verizon HTC ONE forum? There you will receive more help.

If it was actually that simple I would have already done that. I have a VERIZON m7. Weaksauce was the only root method I tried that worked, so it's not that I'm too lazy to search around for the correct thread, it's that that correct thread doesn't exist yet so I just keep making threads on different android forums until I flood the internet with my words and someone finally notices.

Whats Going on? What is going on is that you really didnt pay attention to the rules when you joined. Had you then you would know why you cant post in the Dev forums. You would also know that had you posted this in the dev forums, it would have been deleted on site.
Now I am gonna move this to the proper device forums and advise you to take another look at the rules before you post again.

Basically, you are SOL until Firewater/Weaksauce/Towelroot is made to work on our latest OTA.
Had you run Firewater when you had root, prior to updating, you would have been able to update and retain s-off and root.
Since you didn't, you are now stuck without root until/when/if an updated method/exploit is posted.

Dude, keep moving it if it makes you feel important. The rules really are not my main concern on this site, I had a question it got answered pretty directly after about 4 useless "this has to be moved" posts now I'm going to continue to wait. You guys are like maids for this site do they pay you well? Is it just fun for you to move threads to the correct place? pretty much: LOL @ false sense of entitlement thread police

Your thread got answered after it was moved to the right place, so that mod with "a false sense of entitlement" is the only reason you got a accurate reply.
Your call, but a bit of appreciation for those who keep this site running and volunteer to help is never a bad thing. Running a site of this size is not an easy task.

Wow so let me get this straight. You come to a development sight and want to ask a question? Tthen you post in the wrong section so you get the least amount of answers. So not only does a mod come along and move it to the proper place so you have a chance of getting an answer, but tells you where you messed up instead of just deleting your post. So you proceed to call names and insult me? Then break the rules again. Well how about this. The next time you decide to insult someone you will be banned from the site and then you be stuck with what ever simple minded questions you may have. Take this as your only warning. I would normally just remove you from the site for good but I am in a good mood today so I will let this one slide.

Carrier locked questions? Get in here!

I'll start. I always read through threads and usually find my answer, thus I can't post in developer threads yet.
Is Mike's ARHD 43.0 compatible with Sprint? I got through 63 pages before giving up.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that unless you found it within the Sprint M8 development section, it isn't compatible. If you have the Sprint variant then it's best if you remain within the Sprint M8 device section.
PS. I've moved your thread to the Q&A section, that's where questions go.

I found this on that thread .. how can you missed it ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62162382&postcount=26934

Unless the ROM explicitly states it supports Sprint, it will not be compatible.
You may be able to replace the kernel and mess with some other things, to get it to work on the Sprint M8. But I agree, it won't be compatible without some tinkering.
BTW, the title of this thread makes it sound like its about carrier SIM lock, SIM unlocking, etc.
