Overview
I. Preparation
II. Installation of the required packages
III. Installing Java
IV. The sources
V. Building the ROM
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
I. Preparation
Things you need for building:
A computer
An internet connection
An open mind
Time
Patience
First of all, you need a running up-to-date Ubuntu/Linux system. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.
Use the terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL EVERYTHING AS A USER WITH NORMAL RIGHTS. DON'T INSTALL AS ROOT!
II. Installation of the required packages (Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex \
g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf \
lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev \
libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev \
libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop \
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool \
squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
III. Installing Java
You need a version 6 Java Development Kit for building CM11.0. Usually, the SUN JDK 6 is recommended. But there is another way: you can use the OpenJDK 6. When you installed the required packages as described above, you will just need to configure your Java installation.
Check your Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the right Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
If they are pointing to the wrong versions you have to change that to OpenJDK6.
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
That's it.
IV. The sources
Install repo:
Repo is a tool that makes it quite easy to download and maintain the sources of Cyanogenmod.
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create the working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm11
$ cd ~/cm11
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
and enter your credentials.
Download the sources:
Code:
$ repo sync
Wait until it's finished - takes some time to download the hefty 12 GB of source code!
Have a break, have a KitKat!
If the process stops responding, use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
If you are running into a lot of syncing errors the reason might be that the 'repo sync' command is establishing four threads automatically. This might be too much. So try to change the command to run with one thread only by using
Code:
$ repo sync -j1
Initialize the environment
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
Obtain the files:
Add repositories for the MOTO G by creating two files in the local_manifests directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl-H in your file manager. If the directory isn't already there, create it with
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests
Use this code to create the file falcon.xml
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/falcon.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor (20140219: repos changed to CyanogenMod)
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_qcom-common" path="device/motorola/qcom-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="[COLOR="DarkRed"]CyanogenMod[/COLOR]/android_device_motorola_falcon" path="device/motorola/falcon" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="[COLOR="DarkRed"]CyanogenMod[/COLOR]/android_kernel_motorola_msm8226" path="kernel/motorola/msm8226" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="[COLOR="DarkRed"]CyanogenMod[/COLOR]/android_device_motorola_msm8226-common" path="device/motorola/msm8226-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display-caf-new" path="hardware/qcom/display-caf-new" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_media-caf-new" path="hardware/qcom/media-caf-new" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_fm" path="hardware/qcom/fm" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Use this code to create the file vendor.xml (in case you already have a vendor.xml file because you are buiilding for multiple devices, just add the project line to your vendor.xml file)
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/vendor.xml
Paste the following lines to the editor
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="vendor/motorola" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file.
Run
Code:
$ repo sync
again to get the files needed.
Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by running
Code:
$ cd ~/cm11
$ vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
And you're done syncing!
V. Building the ROM
Now build it:
Code:
$ brunch falcon
And the building process starts. Have patience now. Building takes around half an hour on fast systems and a lot more on older and slower machines.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/cm11/out/target/product/falcon
It is called cm-11-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-falcon-zip. You can flash it via CWM/TWRP as usual.
VI. Rebuilding with newest sources
Whenever you like to update your sources and build a new version you have to run these four simple commands:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm11
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ brunch falcon
Compiling again takes less time than compiling took the first time because it's only building new parts while reusing old parts that haven't changed.
Happy building!

Is it not necessary to also run this again?
Code:
cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../..
PS: At the end of part IV youve got "get-prebuilts" instead of "./get-prebuilts".

if you could add option to build with Linaro-Toolchain

It is the pre-built terminal program. You just need it the first time you build. Otherwise you would get an error message while compiling the ROM. It is unnecessary to get the program over and over again. Since it's pre-built, it gets its updates from the market/play store.

Something got mixed up there. Changed my lines. But your solution works too, of course. Thanks for pointing me to it.

Really depends on the time I will have on my hands and the interest the thread draws. Maybe I'll add some tweaks and tricks including a basic set of compiling against Linaro TC 4.8.x next week. We will see...

Is there an automatic way to have the build.prop file (the system/build.prop option ro.build.date) altered?
I have a script renaming the compiled rom - to make the filaname end with "-michalurban-$NOW" where $NOW is a variable containing date and time of creation. And I would like to remove the ro.build.date value and replace it with michalurban-$NOW so I would easily know if Im using Official NIGHTLY or my build ...
My Linux (Bash, whatever) skill is knee deep in manure Im afraid ... is this possible?

I usually change the build.prop indirectly before the building process.
I delete a few files before rebuilding. E.g. the old build.prop with
Code:
rm -f out/target/product/falcon/system/build.prop
Whenever I am setting up a new build environment I edit the file common.mk in /vendor/cm/config
In line 317 or 323 you could try to change the value of CM_DISPLAY_VERSION or ro.cm.display.version to suit your needs.
Or you can do what I am doing - I usually add a time value to my ROMs (Rom-name and CyanogenMod-version under 'About phone'):
line 288 reads:
Code:
CM_VERSION := $(PRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR)-$(shell date -u +%Y%m%d)-$(CM_BUILDTYPE)$(CM_EXTRAVERSION)-$(CM_BUILD)
and I changed it to
Code:
CM_VERSION := $(PRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR)-$(shell TZ=":Europe/Berlin" date +%Y%m%d\-%H%M%S)[email protected]$(CM_BUILDTYPE)$(CM_EXTRAVERSION)-$(CM_BUILD)
I also added [email protected] You can change practically everything here.
Then save the file and rebuild.
The CyanogenMod Version in 'about phone' should look like this when you flash the ROM:
Happy building!

Is it possible to do this on a NTFS-formatted drive? Im running low on space on my linux /home directory but Ive got plenty of space on my Win7 NTFS drive ... Im just afraid of file permission troubles ...

you can make an image file on the NTFS partition loopmount it, then format it to ext4.

You mean to create a file on the NTFS partition, format it as EXT4, mount it somewhere and then use it for compilation via Ubuntu but "on" the NTFS drive? Wouldnt it mean a hard hit to the performance? I suppose it wont but as my PC is not high-end everything matters ...
BTW I found some guide on the Net and Ive modified it for my needs (probably lol). Is it ok?
Code:
# Create file to store EXT4 partition on NTFS partition (100GB)
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/media/D/linux.img bs=2048 count=50000000
# Create and format loop device (of the EXT4 file)
losetup /dev/loop0 /media/D/linux.img
mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/loop0
# Mount the new EXT4 file
mount -o loop /media/D/linux.img /home/michal/NTFSdrive
EDIT: Script tested and running fine (I got so excited I wrote this edit in czech not english the first time lol).

yeah I meant exactly that. This guide seems ok. The performance won't be as good as with a native partition, but won't be terribly bad either

Another weird question of mine:
I deleted all files, set the CCACHE to be 100GB using command "prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 100G" which was confirmed and started the whole process. But after successfully finishing compilation the directory is again "only" 50GB ... why? I expected it to be twice as large ...

You have to inform the compiler that the cache will be used first, then config a directory and last, set the cache size to xx GB which creates the hidden dir. (to see it, use Ctrl+H)
Code:
$ export USE_CCACHE=1
$ export CCACHE_DIR=/your_path_here/.ccache
$ prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 100G
Btw: it's a good idea to use a 'make clean' first...
To see what's going on while caching, open another terminal, go to your cm11 root dir and execute
Code:
watch -n1 -d prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -s

Now, Ive got a script building the ROM for me. It usually works fine for first sync and compilation as well as for any secondary syncs. But sometimes it returns a message that something isnt present in some file (it differs) and the compilation ends with "Error 1" which I found to be "Out of memory". Now, the guide at CM web says that I should
Code:
edit: system/build/tools/releasetools/common.py
change: java -Xmx2048m to java -Xmx1024m or java -Xmx512m
BTW the right file path is
Code:
build/tools/releasetools/common.py
But Im curious if this change could be done in an automated way by the script (and Im not really familiar with sed, awk and all this regular expressions) ... If not, I guess Ill put some READ command before the compilation itself, giving me time to change it - or just add "nano system/build/tools/releasetools/common.py". But still, automatic way would be better.
EDIT: Solution (with JAVAMEM being set in the beginning of the script):
Code:
sed -i 's/Xmx2048m/Xmx'$JAVAMEM'm/' build/tools/releasetools/common.py
ADD:
Weird, when I try to set the directory and size for CCACHE, nothing happens - it stays at /home/michal/.ccache and 100GB ...

About two days ago a new problem emerged. I followed the guide exactly but in the end, after "brunch falcon"
Code:
make: *** [/home/michal/Build/MotoG-CM11/out/target/product/falcon/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/hwcomposer.msm8226_intermediates/hwc_utils.o] Error 1
It happened before so I erased all content of the directory and did all the commands from scratch. But its the same ... even after changing Java memory something (Xmx2048m) to 1024, which was recommended in the CM guide.

Tips & Trics
Removing CM apps:
To remove roms manager terms or torch:
Edit the file: vendor\cm\config\common.mk
And remove
vendor/cm/proprietary/<App Name>.apk:system/app/<App name>.apk \
Removing other apps:
Edit the file : build\target\product\core.mk
Edit the file : build\target\product\full_base.mk
Edit the file : build\target\product\generic_no_telephony.mk
To change the name of the zip and some info:
Edit the file: vendor\cm\config\common.mk
And change the else part in the file:
ifdef CM_RELEASE
CM_VERSION := $(PRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR).$(PRODUCT_VERSION_MINOR).$(PRODUCT_VERSION_MAINTENANCE)$(PRODUCT_VERSION_DEVICE_SPECIFIC)-$(CM_BUILD)
else
CM_VERSION := <Enter new zip name here>
endif
Editing LCD density:
Edit the file device\samsung\n7000\n7000.mk
And change ro.sf.lcd_density to whatever you like.
a hint 320 is default
213 is nexus 7 mode
160 is tablet mode
Editing Trebuchet Settings:
Edit the file packages\apps\Trebuchet\res\values\config.xml
Edditing normal Settings:
Edit the file packages\apps\Settings\res\values\bools.xml
Finding out what went wrong:
./build.sh n7000 2> error.log
This means all errors and warnings will be logged to error.log
To find the actual error, you could use "grep -ins error error.log"
Moving the source:
Copy all the files to there new location.
This can be done with cp -rf old location new loaction
The force option is to avoid can't find .git errors
Warning the next part requires to be done all together without interuptions!!!
On the new loaction use rm -rf to remove the files. // I know this will delete the files. Force option is to avois sym link errors.
Now curl the repo to the new location using the steps in the first post.
Repo init as described in the first post.
Repo sync -j16 //The tric is it will restore all files that are still usable and redownload all corrput files
Changing to new kernel thanks to utacka:
local_manifest.xml - to use the latest 9100 kernel update // this file can be found in the .repo dir
change from teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210 to teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210_new
Also you may temporarily need to remove it from cm.dependencies in device/samsung/n7000, it'll do weird stuff (like syncing two different kernel repos to the same place) if you don't make that change.
Changing bootanimation:
Copy your new bootanimation zip file to: vendor\cm\prebuilt\common\bootanimation\<Your zip file>
Now make this change in vendor/cm/config/common.mk: //this wil be around line 46
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/cm/prebuilt/common/bootanimation/<Your zip file>:system/media/bootanimation.zip
endif
The Cm10 bootanimation can be found here: http://goo.gl/x2KC8

Just curious if you have any tips on building on OSX?? I have tried several times and cm10 just will not compile..
I commented out the quemu stuff.. but I still end up failing somewhere along the road. No problems at all on ubuntu VM, just takes 150+ minutes :crying:

I can't really help if i don't know the issue. The problem is most likely related to missing packages.
Could you try building with ./build.sh n7000 2> error.log
And then uploading/posting the contents of the error.log file.
The 2 means log all errors and warnings to the error.log file.
Some VM advise for the best speed:
Use a headless ubuntu server. Login trough ssh. \\The ssh part does not increase speed, but it allows copy pasting.
Give it all you're cores and a lot of memory in the VM settings.
Finally don't use the computer while building it slows the building down
Thanks, didn't even think about how many CPUs I gave to my VM.

Thanks for the guide.. It was really helpfull to me, but I faced some problems, so I think it need an update in the following areas:
1 - Your config builds using the old Kernel... To build with the new one (Preview#4), you need to edit local_manifest.xml , and change teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210 to teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210_new . You also need to edit cm.dependencies in device/samsung/n7000 , the same way...
2 - Sun Java is no longer in Ubuntu repositories, so the instructions in: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html will not work properly, and by following them you will end up building with OpenJDK, It will probably work, but is highly experimental and can result in inexpected problems.

Thats the official building manual from google which also states that openJDK is not expermental for ICS and JB (different page).
This is also confirmed in the android-building group ...
Also OpenJDK 6 builds CM10 without any issues.
The sun java 6 can't be installed headless (if not in repository) because you need to click accept at the official download side....
Kernel is at 3th post bottum (Tips and Trics):
It will not be in the official manual because if it gets stable enough it will get merged in the CM10 repo

[GUIDE]Compile CM 11 on Ubuntu 14.04 for Moto E

How to build your own CyanogenMod 11 ROM from sources for the Moto E
As you all know inorder to compile any rom based on source codes we need a linux environment. We can also use Virtual Machine on Windows but i find it slower when compared to a linux dual boot or linux os totally! So for budding developers i shall write this guide on how to setup Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr 64 bit version to compile android roms. Please note that 32 bit is not supported to compile roms. So, lets get started!​
Requirements:
PC with
4gb RAM(minimum)
i3 or above processor(i7 recommended)
Ubuntu OS (installed)
Moto E
Good internet connection
Knowledge of logcat and debugging

I wont be doing through on how to dual boot or install Ubuntu there are many videos on youtube so search them up and get Ubuntu installed! Now open a fresh terminal and do the following:
1) Copy and paste it into a terminal window:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
This will remove OpenJDK if you have it pre-installed.
2) Copy and paste the following into the terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
This will add the correct PPA to your system for updated builds of Java 6 JDK that are compatible with Ubuntu 14.04.
3) Now you need to install the package. Copy and paste the following into the terminal:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Wait.
Follow the on-screen instructions. You must accept the Licensing Agreement to complete the install.
Press Enter to acknowledge the "OK", then tab over to "Yes" and press Enter again to accept the license. The installation will continue automatically.
4) Make sure the correct version of Java is activated. Run the terminal command:
Code:
java -version
You should see or something similar:
Code:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)
Close and open a new terminal.
5) Install the main build tools with this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git gnupg ccache lzop flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32bz2-1.0 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc libreadline6-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool dpkg-dev
6) When they are installed, run the next line in your terminal window:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
That's it packages are done! Now for the sources!
7) Install "repo" using this command:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
8) Now open .bashrc using Nano:
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
9) At the end of the page paste this code to a new line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
10) Save it using Ctrl+O and then Enter. Then Ctrl+X to exit.
11) Restart bash using this command:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
11) In the terminal, navigate to where you would like to download the Android source code. I will be placing it in "/home/user/" modify according to ur wish.
Code:
mkdir ~/cm11
cd ~/cm11
Now configure Git using:
Code:
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Replace "[email protected]" with your mail id of github
and also
Code:
git config --global user.name "name"
Replace "name" with your name
12) Now initialize the repo using:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
The above command is for CM 11 you also do it for other flavours of custom roms too! I will add how to initialise repos for other flavours in second post soon!
13) Now start downloading the sources!!
Code:
repo sync
It takes around 11gb so here is where your internet connection plays a major role!! Sit back and do your other works till then!
And your ready to compile your rom when the sources are fully downloaded!!
14) Initialize the build environment:
Code:
$ .build/envsetup.sh
15) Add repositories for the MOTO E by creating two files in the local_manifests directory. To see this directory, you have to press Ctrl+H in your file manager. If the directory isn't there, create using
Code:
$ mkdir ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests
16) Use this code to create the file condor.xml
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/condor.xml
17) Paste the following lines using an editor to the name.xml:
Code:
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_qcom_common" path="device/qcom/common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_qcom-common" path="device/motorola/qcom-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_name" path="device/motorola/name" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8210" path="kernel/motorola/msm8210" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_msm8210-common" path="device/motorola/msm8210-common" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_display-caf-new" path="hardware/qcom/display-caf-new" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_media-caf-new" path="hardware/qcom/media-caf-new" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_qcom_fm" path="hardware/qcom/fm" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file and exit.
18) Use this code to create the file vendor.xml using the command:
Code:
$ gedit ~/cm11/.repo/local_manifests/vendor.xml
19) Paste the following lines using an editor to vendow.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="vendor/motorola" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
</manifest>
Save the file and exit.
20) Now copy paste the command in terminal:
Code:
$ repo sync
To get the files needed.
21) Download the necessary prebuilts from cyanogenmod by copy pasting in terminal:
Code:
$ cd ~/cm11
$ vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
21) Now building the rom:
Code:
$ brunch condor
For any help or issues you can post your issues/doubts at this thread and people there will help you!
Congrats!!!You are now set to become a Developer soon!!
First building process will take from 3 hours to12 hours based on your computer specifications. Later builds will take lesser time!After the ROM has been successfully compiled you will find your new ROM in ~/cm11/out/target/product/name. It will be as cm-11-DATE-UNOFFICIAL-condor-zip. You can flash it via CWM/TWRP. Use adb and fastboot to logcat and debug your issues!

Thanks for the guide...:laugh:
So..... Nice guide that points to a device with no published sources yet...
It's not on cyanogenmod yet
The common folders won't be called 8210
This is a general waste of time. It's pointless having guides on every single device section for building.

well not exactly, the part of setting up environment on Ubuntu 14.04 was referred from various guides and made noob free. Building part is my work. You can check around xda if you feel it is copy paste. Am building for Moto G and believe both processes are same so made a thread for people here to help develop easily.

Please pm me if i forgot someone or if have to take this down!
Overview
1: Preparation
2: Install the required packages to build
3. Install & setup Java
4. Initialize repo and sources
5. Building the ROM
6. Renew sources and build again
I recommend you to read the whole guide one time without doing anything. Then you can start over and mimic the steps.
1. Preparation
Things you need for building:
A computer
An internet connection
An open mind and common knowledge
Time
Patience
First of all, you need a running up-to-date Ubuntu/Linux system. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit. I am running this in a Virtual-box over Windows and it is working fine for me. You can find simple guides on how to setup your Virtual-box on Google. I recommend using at least 100 GBs of hard drive space.
Use the built in terminal to make the steps. A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Every single command for the terminal is marked with a $ sign. Just paste every command (without the $ sign) to your terminal window and there shouldn't be any problem.
IMPORTANT: INSTALL EVERYTHING AS A NORMAL USER. DON'T INSTALL AS ROOT!
2. Install the required packages to build (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit)
Install packages:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install bison build-essential curl flex \
g++-multilib gcc-multilib git-core gnupg gperf \
lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev \
libesd0-dev libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev \
libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop \
openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre pngcrush schedtool \
squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev
3. Install & setup java
You need a version 6 Java Development Kit for building Paranoid Android. Usually, the SUN JDK 6 is recommended. But there is another way: you can use the OpenJDK 6. When you installed the required packages as described above, you will just need to configure your Java installation. I use OpenJDK6 and it is working just fine!
Check your Java version:
Code:
$ java -version
Verify the symlinks. Javac, Java, Javaws, Javadoc, Javah, Javap and Jar should all point to the right Java location and version:
Code:
$ ls -la /etc/alternatives/java* && ls -la /etc/alternatives/jar
If they are pointing to the wrong versions you have to change that to OpenJDK6.
Select the default Java version for your system:
Code:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javadoc
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javah
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javap
$ sudo update-alternatives --config jar
That's it.
4. Repo and sources
Install repo:
Repo is a tool that makes it quite easy to download and maintain the sources of Paranoid Android.
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ cd ~/bin
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create the working directory:
Code:
$ mkdir ~/paranoid
$ cd ~/paranoid
Initialize Repo:
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/AOSPA-legacy/manifest.git -b kitkat
Here you will probably get an error. You have to enter your credentials
Run these two commands to setup your crendentials.
Code:
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]
Setup sources:
Now you will download the source code.
Code:
$ repo sync
You can make some customizations to these commands, for example you can download more items parallel. Of course this will take more bandwidth so it’s up to you.
Code:
$ repo sync -h
Usage: repo sync [...]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f, --force-broken continue sync even if a project fails to sync
-l, --local-only only update working tree, don't fetch
-n, --network-only fetch only, don't update working tree
-d, --detach detach projects back to manifest revision
-q, --quiet be more quiet
-jJOBS, --jobs=JOBS number of projects to fetch simultaneously
-s, --smart-sync smart sync using manifest from a known good build
repo Version options:
--no-repo-verify do not verify repo source code
So for example if you want to fetch 10 jobs at the same time use this command.
Code:
$ repo sync -j10
Wait until it's finished - takes some time to download the hefty 12 GB of source code!
Take a break, have a KitKat!
If the process hangs use Ctrl+C to break out of it and resume the download with another
Code:
$ repo sync
If you are running into a lot of syncing errors the reason might be that the 'repo sync' command is establishing four threads automatically. This might be too much. So try to change the command to run with one thread only by using
Code:
$ repo sync -j1
5. Building the ROM
Turn on caching to speed up your build.
You can speed up subsequent builds by adding
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
to your ~/.bashrc file.
To access this file run the following
Code:
$ gedit ~/.bashrc
Then, specify the amount of disk space to dedicate to ccache by typing this from the top of your Android tree:
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
where 50G corresponds to 50GB of cache. This only needs to be run once and the setting will be remembered. Anywhere in the range of 25GB to 100GB will result in very noticeably increased build speeds (for instance, a typical 1hr build time can be reduced to 20min). If you're only building for one device, 25GB-50GB is fine. If you plan to build for several devices that do not share the same kernel source, aim for 75GB-100GB. This space will be permanently occupied on your drive, so take this into consideration.
You have all the standard sources ready but some specific sources for your device are still missing. Luckily they will be downloaded when you start to build your rom. Again be sure to be in your top directory.
Now build it:
Code:
$ ./rom-build.sh honami
And the building process starts. First it creates a new manifest called roomservice.xml then it downloads the device specific kernels and such.
If it gives you an error, try to CTRL+C and run repo sync. Then re-do the previous step.
Now it’s time to practice your patience again, the first build will take a long time. A couple of hours depending on your machine setup.
When everything worked as it should you will find your new ROM-image in ~/paranoid/out/target/product/honami
It is called pa_honami-4.4-BETA x-DATE .zip You can flash it via CWM/TWRP as usual.
6. Renew sources and build again
Whenever you like to update your sources and build a new version you have to run these four simple commands:
Code:
$ cd ~/paranoid
$ repo sync
$ ./rom-build.sh honami
Compiling takes less time than it took for creating the ROM the first time because it's only building new parts while reusing old parts that haven't changed.
Good luck and have fun while building!

I'm trying to port the latest PA to nexus 10. I did the repo sync, it sync-ed for hours, now I'd like to fire ./rom-build.sh, the only problem is that there is no bom-build.sh to be found in my working dir.... How can that be?
Thank you!
How do I compile for x86_64? Really want to put it on a Surface Pro 6 (2018) and install the linux-surface kernel patches.

[GUIDE][Ubuntu] How to build CyanogenMod for the Alcatel Idol 3 5.5

Hello everyone!
I am pretty busy with my own life,and will most likely keep being busy until summer.
Until then,I shall provide you with the formula which will enable you to create primarily CM builds from source!
In this case,related to rom builders- THE MORE,THE MERRIER!
Take notice,this guide is pretty compatible with other roms like PAC,Slim,Bliss,etc. with just a few little changes.
Of course,many thanks to Unjustified Dev for teaching me all the things needed to build roms.
Also,a big thanks to the thread located HERE
First of all,let's begin with setting up the build environment.
REQUIREMENTS
- a highly functional brain which features excessive determination and highly logical thinking
- any Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit distro
- minimally 4GB of RAM
- minimally 150 GB for 1 rom directory
1. Install Ubuntu
-it HAS TO BE a Ubuntu distribution(I personally prefer Ubuntu GNOME,but Lubuntu is good for general speed)
-although one can install and use Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine,it's advisable to dual-boot it with Windows
2. Install Java 7 JDK(version 7 is for Lollipop)
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
3. Install other necessary tools
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg ccache lzop flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 libncurses5-dev lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool python
4. Then THIS
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
Now we will initialize Repo.
Repo is a repository management tool that we built on top of Git. Repo unifies the many Git repositories when necessary, does the uploads to our revision control system and automates parts of the Android development workflow.
1.
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
2.
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
This command SHOULD open up a text file(.bashrc) in order for it to be edited
Now,scroll to the bottom,press ENTER,and add these lines
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
export USE_CCACHE=1
Now press CTRL+O,press ENTER, and press CTRL+X
3. Refresh .bashrc
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
OKAY,now we should initialize git on your PC!
We will use the credentials of your created git account,so here are the commands:
Code:
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
You are officially done setting your PC up!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Oooookay,now let's get down to business!
PART 1
First of all,we will have to create a directory for rom build folders.
Here is MY EXAMPLE,you can name your folders however you want!
Then,of course,let's get our hands on the CyanogenMod manifest.
A manifest is a part of a rom's github directory network which holds the information which one uses to intialize a certain rom's build directory on his PC.
In our case,we need the manifest from CyanogenMod 12.1,which is HERE
There you will find this:
Of course,after you cd-d into your cm build directory,type this command in:
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1
Then navigate to the CM build folder,make hidden folders visible and open the manifest.xml in the text editor.
Find the "darwin" line,and delete the lines containing the darwin directories(the ones in the picture,there are other ones as well-delete them too)
This will reduce the download time by a decent amount. Those lines are meant for the PC to download files for MacOS,which we don't even need.
Now,let's move on to making the PC sync all the files for OUR device.
For that we need to create a file named "local_manifest.xml"
We will input the lines which will pull files for our device files from the repositories Unjustified Dev had made.
The final product is visible in the picture.
You most likely see an extra line on the bottom. That line is a MUST for CM,otherwise it won't build...
Here is it all in code,so you can just paste it. You are very welcome,by the way ;P
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>

Okay,now we can perform a REPO SYNC.
Type in
Code:
repo sync -c
Now,depending on your internet download speed,all the files will be downloaded to your PC.
Now we will set up ccache and prebuilt Webview.
Ccache is a type of cache. Without tiring you with the details,I will make it simple.
You do understand that a lot of tools will be working while making your build,right?
Ccache stores the data those build tools need,so after the first time,those tools won't need to load all the data yet again.
This saves a lot of time!
Now,we already did one part of this set up while editing .bashrc,but this is the main attraction.
Make sure you are in your cm build directory when typing this command,or you will get an error saying "no directory"
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 64G
Now,onto prebuilt Webview.
You see,this is only for those who have less than 8GB of RAM.
While being created,the Webview will hog around 7GB of RAM,overloading the PC and making it freeze for more than 8 hours until it force-stops the building or decides to pull it off after extra 6 hours,resulting in 14 hours for one single damn file.
Buuut,because
I will show you how to make the build finish in less than 12 hours at first,and then in less than 4 hours on "dirty"(aka stack builds).
1. Open up your manifest.xml
2. Find the line holding " webview ".
then,replace the line
Code:
<project path="frameworks/webview" name="CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_webview" />
with this line
Code:
<project path="frameworks/webview" name="arter97/android_frameworks_webview" remote="github" revision="cm-12.1" />
3. Go to " frameworks " folder and delete the " webview " folder
4. In the terminal(while in the CM folder,of course) type
Code:
repo sync -c --force-sync
and wait for it to do its magic
5. Open the newly appeared " webview " folder inside the " frameworks" folder, and open its " Readme.mkdn " file with a text editor
6. Follow its procedure,I present to you the pictures of things I changed!
7. Save the changes!
Woohoo,another step closer!
PART 2
Now the real party begins!
Make sure you are in your CM folder.
Type THIS command:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
Then THIS one:
Code:
lunch cm_idol3-userdebug
And finally,THIS one
Code:
mka bacon
Which, in the end, should look like THIS
The building procedure has begun. U.U

Thanks for your Hard Work So i don't have time and i'm stopping to developping,when i have free time i will try to make newer builds...
Oookay...
It's complete as far as CM building goes.
When I get the time(not soon due to school and lots and lots of tests),I will maybe create a guide for the ones, who want to have a go at other roms and who want to experiment with the kernel.

After a lot of trying i tried with ubuntu 16,14,12 32 bit and 64 ,manjaro and other...but doesn't worked to set up the pc and i tried with gnome 64 bit today works so i'm going tomorrow to make new build with this guide because today i"m having the lowest speed of internet, at the moment i'm using the "old" pc WHO has 2gb ram 500 gb hdd and 2.2 ghz intel because my new pc was "dead":crying:Thanks for guide Alek Dev
2GB of RAM is not enough,it won't work.

[GUIDE] build lineageOS for titan in ubuntu 16.04 (or Debian 8) environment

LineageOS is in an official state, so that's for the ones with no patience, like me. I want my nightlies!! So DIY!!
This is not about flashing. Only how to build a ROM in an Ubuntu (meanwhile Debian 8) environment! So I have nothing to do with what you do with the finished Zip-file.
I am not responsible for your phone or your computer! Everything you read here resulting in taking action is at your own risk!
All credits go to all devs and supporters here on XDA, CyanogenMod / LineageOS for all their work they provide for free on github. We just take thankful the benefit!! Mainly LuK1337 provided the best hints and informations!

## GIT and repos
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329228
## SET UP THE ENVIRONMENT
## Install (in VMware Player or Virtualbox?) 64-bit-Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS / 8GB RAM / 100GB HDD
## All following is done in a terminal
## These are the packets you need (if you use debian some will fail (e.g. JAVA) -take them out of the list manually):
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb automake bc bison build-essential bzip2 ccache curl dpkg-dev flex git gnupg gperf libbz2-1.0 libesd0-dev libghc-bzlib-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop make maven openjdk-8-jdk pngcrush python-networkx schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib lib32ncurses5-dev lib32z1-dev lib32readline6 lib32readline6-dev
## To install JAVA 8 in Debian:
Code:
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886
apt-get update
apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
## Add all needed paths and the ccache command (following two lines) to the end of ~/.bashrc
## copy the whole box to your terminal and the lines will be added...
Code:
echo "export PATH=~/bin:~/android/lineageos/toolchain:~/android/lineageos/external/v8/build/toolchain:~/android/lineageos/prebuilts/sdk/tools:$PATH
export USE_CCACHE=1" >> ~/.bashrc
## Maybe here is a good point to restart the Ubuntu machine once...
## I'm not sure if necessary you need an account at https://github.com but it complains when not...
Code:
git config --global user.email "your-GIT-REG-email"
git config --global user.name "your-GIT-REG-username"
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/lineageos/
mkdir -p ~/android/lineageos/.repo/local_manifests
## get the repo command
Code:
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
## The right git-repos to sync are in: ~/android/lineageos/.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml
## copy the whole box into the terminal and the roomservice.xml will be written:
Code:
echo "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</manifest>" > ~/android/lineageos/.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml
## Get the github to the machine
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/lineageos/android.git -b cm-14.1
## additional folders to put the repos and binaries for building
## O.K. lets start the first try
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/
source build/envsetup.sh
Code:
repo sync
## Wait VERY LONG (really hours) and IF STUCKS, press "ctrl+C" and once more "repo sync" again.
## Then Extract proprietary blobs from the phone
## the device must be connected via USB cable (adb has to be functional) and go to the TITAN directory:
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/device/motorola/titan
## and
Code:
./extract-files.sh
## and maybe (only once before the first time of building) configure the CCACHE, which makes compiling much faster:
Code:
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G
##WHEN ALL IS DONE
## we now can forget all steps before! ...Until we run in trouble - then look at the bottom or restart from scratch.
## In my experience now it shows, that the compiling processes recompiles and replaces "new synced packets" in the out-directory and leave the untouched untouched. So we can (nearly) always restart a broken build process... maybe the devs will VETO this. Some delete the whole out-directory every time - I think you can easily start over
## However, what we should do everytime before we start building is:
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/
source build/envsetup.sh
repo sync
## OKAY, lets build.... Nooooooo! Not yet!
## The most Important question now:
## "Do you want to have a ROOTED phone?" If yes, then you have to
Code:
export WITH_SU=true
## If you don't want root then just start with:
Code:
brunch titan
## Now you can wait again for hours and hopefully got finished
## ~/android/lineageos/out/target/product/titan/lineage-14.1-2017****-UNOFFICIAL-titan.zip
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
## TROUBLE with compilation stops / stucks with error:
## JACK-SERVER error:
## reinstall the Jack Server
Code:
cd ~/android/lineageos/prebuilts/sdk/tools
jack-admin kill-server
jack-admin uninstall-server
jack-admin install-server jack-launcher.jar jack-server-4.8.ALPHA.jar
## sometimes a permission problem:
Code:
chmod 700 ~/.jack-server
find ~/.jack-server -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 600
chmod 664 ~/.jack-settings
##Also helpful if Java stops compiling is to limit the usage of RAM:
Code:
export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G"
##NINJA error:
## increase RAM of VM, or you cant put
Code:
export USE_NINJA=false
command to the .bashrc
## APPS/org.cyanogenmod.platform-res_intermediates error:
Code:
javac: file not found: ~android/lineageos/out/target/common/obj/APPS/org.cyanogenmod.platform-res_intermediates/src/cyanogenmod/platform/Manifest.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
build/core/ninja.mk:151: recipe for target 'ninja_wrapper' failed
make: *** [ninja_wrapper] Error 1
make: Leaving directory '~/android/lineageos'
#### make failed to build some targets (25:19 (mm:ss)) ####
When this happens, give a:
Code:
mka org.cyanogenmod.platform-res
This also works for most other Errors, which stop the process... Find the line with "****_intermediate" and give the "mka ****" WITHOUT the "_intermediate".
After compiling of the single package is finished - once more:
Code:
brunch titan
## New one: *** This repo is now deprecated. Move your blobs to your device's vendor repo..
Code:
find: "~/android/lineageos/out/target/common/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libwifi-hal-mock_intermediates": Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
build/core/package_internal.mk:143: Empty argument supplied to find-subdir-assets
./vendor/qcom/binaries/Android.mk:1: *** This repo is now deprecated. Move your blobs to your device's vendor repo..
The solution is given here by mirkosrc:
Code:
~/android/lineageos$ mv vendor/qcom/binaries/Android.mk vendor/qcom/binaries/Android.mk.bak
Now we have the proper solution given by kessaras in post #37 (thanks a lot!!):
the solution is not to rename the .mk or even remove that repo since we ignore it by renaming the .mk.
The proper solution is to edit the .mk and remove the 1st line that redirects to an error on purpose because its depricated (old).
This way, IF the .mk is needed during the build, it will get called.
If its not needed , then the compiler will just not use it.
At least thats my point of view here. We dont just remove things by renaming. We add them properly in case they r needed. If they are not needed then they wont be used.

Click to collapse
## LAST OPTION:
When nothing works at all anymore you can delete the whole content of the out-folder:
Code:
rm -rf ~/android/lineageos/out/*
But then the first compiling last very long again...
## If the DISK runs full,
look into android/lineageos/out/target/product/titan/obj/PACKAGING/target_files_intermediates and delete the files...
## repo sync crashes with error:
Code:
repo sync -j1 -f --force-sync

Why not? As far as I can follow the scripts, the files will be extracted (in our case) to ~/android/lineageos/vendor/motorola/titan/proprietary/... (and maybe also to /android/lineageos/vendor/motorola/msm8226-common/proprietary...) I'm not sure if they are always the same for the different Android Versions, but I assume: Yes.
I put some more order in the guide and cleaned the chaos in case there is still interest in building LineageOS yourself. In fact preparing of the environment and the first setup and building of the ZIP lasts really (annoying) long but the following building processes are done within ONE and a HALF hours. So I enjoy immediately the last build when there has something good changed in the Repos: https://www.cmxlog.com/14.1/titan/
Have a lot of fun!

No, I didn't. "Shoot from the hip": Downgrade Java to 1.7 first. Maybe it's easier to building up Ubuntu 14.x environment as I don't know about gcc or other libs-things for CM13

I am getting the following error. I am not sure what to do here. I have been cleaning the build folder and ccache and trying to build. I keep ending at this error. Any help to solve this issue is greatly appreciated.

Did you try just "mka libart" to compile only the package with the error?
Usually then it's finishing without errors and you can brunch again.
