Android from Source - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I am learning to build a custom rom. Does anyone have android from source ported to Nexus 7 that I can use to get started? Thanks!

You can download any factory image and use that to start ..... Might wanna do some reading or watch some videos ....

Learning ROM development ?

Hi Everyone,
I would like to learn Android ROM development, but do not know how it is done in Ubuntu.
I have build CM7 successfully on Ubuntu 11.10 and would like to proceed further to develop ROM, but do not know how to ? I mean I know if android apps is required to be developed, then ECLIPSE is used, but, if ROM is to be developed, then how it is done ?
I mean, is there any eclipse like IDE (Development Environment) exist to develop ROM ? Can anyone guide me or provide me link how to proceed further ?
I searched a lot in google, but could not find any site which gives details on it. What I am getting on search is only setting-up the envirnment and compiling the source code, but nobody deals with how to modify or develop further on ROM.
Any help on this regard will be appreciated.
Edit: I found it, we can use eclipse itself for the editing and I think to build the source code modified, we need to proceed in the same way. Below is the link:

Thanks

[Q] Project : Ubuntu Desktop Nexus 7 2013 (flo)

Hi guys,
have been thinking for a while now and decided to do a port of the Ubuntu Desktop Core for the new Nexus 7 one for the old one already exists so i propably only need to modify a existing kernel for the Nexus 7 2013 to work withe the Desktop Core of Ubuntu right ?
But i only have experience with linux already booted but not with its booting process and even not at all with android and its booting process. Therefore im asking you guys. Interested in joining my project ? I cant do it myself but together we can.
I think we need to look at both initramfs the one of Cannocial and the one of Google or Cyanogenmod to find the canges we need to make right ?
Is there any kernel you can recommend ?
Somebody interested in helping me out ?
Btw. I'm german
Thx

[BUILD] Galaxy S 5 - klte

Hi everyone
Well, I'm trying to build my first rom today, and after a lot of tutorial, still something I don't understand.
So, I want to start with the last AOSPA and for now, I don't really know how to put in the local_manifest file. I have found some Github with android_device_samsung_klte source (I guess ?), but I see a lot of local_manifest (for aospa) with vendor = pa_klte. Someone can explain me that ? x)
Other question, what's the command "brunch" is ? Seems to be used to build, but my Linux didn't recognize it...
So, to sum up, I looking for someone who had already build an AOSPA Rom, in order to help me to build the klte build !
I would like to see a version of Paranoid Android for the Galaxy S5 as well. I own the Verizon Developer Edition of the phone and am willing to test out Paranoid Android builds for it.
We will never officially support the s5
#stayparanoid
No problem about the "officialy supported".
Anyone to help me ?
After some tests... Same error...
Why will you never officially support the s5?

[Q] What is OS PORTING

What is os porting?

In simple word, porting means to make a application or patch or os compatible with some other hardware or on some other platform.
Example: You have Android L preview image for Nexus 5 and you want to install that preview image on Nexus 4 then you need to decompile the Nexus 5 preview image, remove modules or drivers related to Nexus 5 hardware and replace them with that of Nexus 4 and many more step so that in the end you get an image that is fully functional with Nexus 4. Then this is known as OS porting. If you made an exact replica of some application that is working in iPhone for Android Device then that is known as application porting
Senior member, please correct me if I am wrong.

Just compile AOSP :
- here are sources : https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-pdx213
- here are instructions : https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/
And please share some thoughts, I do not have the device yet so I could not do this myself

I managed to compile the sources but it doesn't seem to be enough.
Sony guide has a step to flash a vendor image:
Build AOSP Android 11.0 - Open Devices - Sony Developer World
developer.sony.com
There are no vendor images for 10 mark III yet.
I guess we need to wait till Sony publishes them. Please correct me if I'm wrong, it's a first time I compile Android

I guess we can create repo vendor and extract proprietary blobs from stock vendor...
I tested phh gsi lineage and its fully stable guy - in bonus green tint is fixed -
Nice
And it's good that there is no green screen in custom roms
I can't wait for DotOS or other roms. XperiaUI is boring.
@ada12 Are you also building recovery?

[GUIDE]Porting TWRP without source
Yes, I know XDA is filled with such guides. But you can only port a TWRP if you implement parts of all the guides. This guide is a summation of all those guides. NOTE: I would be using AIK-Linux in this tutorial, since I don't recommend Windows...

Hello. So is a custom ROM, or Lineageos now available for the Xperia 10 III? I know nothing about programming a phone, so this is something I may not do on my own. I really just need a new phone (still using a 2013 iPhone 5S) but refuse to use Google or Apple's ecosystem (anymore). I also refuse to use a phone made in China, nor lacks a headphone jack and the only other phones that meet these criteria are too large for me (even this one is on the large end). So does anyone have steps to degoogle this phone, as of the near future or so, so I may order this phone asap? I have Windows, Mac, and will be downloading a Devuan-based Linux distro on another computer soon. Otherwise, I know LineageOS has come out for the Xperia 10 II, but how does that one compare to this one?

At the moment, we do not have lineageOS and recovery. There are only aosp sources that we can build.
Ada12 is currently building a custom kernel.
We will have roms for sure in the future.

I'm sorry I have no idea what you're saying. There are already available custom AOSP roms, no? What a "lineage gsi" and how do I compile it (on a Windows)? All I need until a custom rom is released is too remove google from the phone entirely. This is possible?

GSI is no a custom rom its a Generic System image , its update only /system ( os framework ) and use blobs,drivers from your /vendor , GSI is universal and run in all devices treble .
They are no custom rom available in public actually for this devices , source for custom rom is availlable but unstable in use ( sound only in headset , ril bug ... )
actually if you want run lineage or other custom android os use PHH GSI , or wait for custom rom ( NO ETA ).
