Help for Noob trying to compile first CM kernel. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
Like the title says, I am trying to compile my first kernel.
I really like the CM11 i9505 nightly kernel, but it would be amazing in my world if it also had voltage/overclock/and gov additions.
It is my understanding that if I compile the kernel myself adding these features would be easy as they mostly exist in a single file that I could copy from similar kernels.
I have been trying to build my first build environment, but it seems that I am failing in amazing ways by trying to follow the CM guides on the their wiki. :crying:
I have an i3 dell 6420 laptop with Ubuntu (installed and functional) that I am dedicating to this effort, but I seem to need spoon feeding on this first attempt.
Does any one have a good step by step guide that I could follow for building the CM11 kernel?
Failing that does anyone have the time to chat in a live state on a weekend or late evening to help build this?
Of course if someone has a CM11 nightly kernel with the added features, I wouldn't object to using that and not reinventing the wheel.

Wrong section,
Ask a forum moderator (any one) to move your thread to the developer only section(of this subfroum)[emoji6]

He could just read the kernel tutorials in the android or chef central sections

Need Help Compileing Linux Kernel

Hello,
I am wanting to learn how to build my own custom kernel and eventually rom.
I have done some "cooking" with kitchens but am more interested in complete build from source - This would include the kernel itself and stock set of apps that go along. I have googled many subjects but what I find seems to be outdated or just doesnt work. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
I have only built the kernel. Have not been able to build the whole ROM.
Look up the relevant stuff on Cyanogenmod wiki
I'll Give it a try. How did you learn to build the kernels?
Thanks

[Q] How to compile AOSP 4.2.2 for Nexus 4

Hi, I would like to learn how to build a vanilla AOSP ROM with ubuntu.
Is the first time for me, so I need a complete guide. :angel:
thanks
Or someone can compile it for me... Pure Aosp without any tweak or mod...
And of course future update of aosp.
There are several guides, no this isn't a LMGTFY link, but it is a Google link. The first two are good guides.
Point being, you may need to refer to more than one guide until you have your build environment set up properly, and all the other variables in place. Might take you some time before you've built successfully, but it's a worthwhile experience.
Edit: obviously the links above point to some 4.2.1 resources, you can work your way around that with additional Google Ninja stuff. Seriously, go for it, it's fun.
No one is going to write you a personalized step-by-step guide on how to do it you need to read up and learn to do it yourself.
Start here:
http://source.android.com/
This section will tell you how to set up you pc to run it
http://source.android.com/source/building.html
As an example here is a guide to setting up an AOSP build environment, yes its for another device but it will give you an idea of what is involved in setting it up.

Attempting to build my first ROM

Hello Everyone!!!!
As the title states I am trying to build my first ROM from source, I am wanting to build a PAC-Man variant for our phone (AT&T S4).
I am currently installing Xubuntu 13.04 x64 on a old Pentium D (2.4 ghz with 2GB of RAM) and I am reading over this post while it is installing.
I am also reading over this thread as well. I assume I can try to build a CM 10.1 build first, LOKI it, then get it working then add the stuff in for PAC-man after that, but I am not sure. I was wanting to know if any ROM developers can point me in the right direction for learning how to compile ROM's from source. I know the typical rule here is to search, search, and if lost SEARCH MORE but I feel that I am missing knowledge on what to search for in the first place.
I hope to spend the next few days on this little project and if all works well I will attempt to maintain a Dev thread with updates every few days to a week.
Thanks for any information you all can provide and I appreciate any guidance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798056 this forum gave me a lot on insight when I started building my own rom. Hope it helps, best of luck to you!
I figured out how to install the SDK, and start building things, Its currently building the release right now, lets hope it doesn't blow up
EDIT: Would anyone be willing to try it if I feel its good enough to test?

I'll try it out! I was going to build it, but I don't have enough hard drive space with my BeanStalk repo set up

Hey Developers,
I have already built a CM ROM from source for my LG Optimus L7, which wasn't that hard. But now I want to build a ROM from Android Source (AOSP). So my question is: Can somebody give me a guide for the L7 or some advice for building an AOSP ROM?
Thanks:good:

From AOSP you will have to take almost exactly the same steps. Basically there is nothing different to building CM, AOSP, PAC, CarbonRom, etc., but the source of compilation is different and also the thing you will have to do is add the device specific libraries etc. into the AOSP rom sources on your PC and then compile.

[DEV] Nixo Kernel Test Track Discussion

Dear fellow members of Galaxy S6/Edge XDA members,
I've created this thread to step back into developing a KANGed kernel once again. I have previously worked on the Galaxy Nexus 2 years back where I had the time to work on kernel development and was thus actively involved in the forums over there. However, after nearly one year, I had to put my kernel KANGing to a stop as I have my major examinations to focus on. Now, after almost finishing everything I need for my education, I want to step back into contributing to XDA with my very best that I've learnt from the Galaxy Nexus.
Here is the link of proof:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-s-k-p-r458-3-0-101-t2479983
However, I do want to voice out that I have never been correct in developing so I'll just let you guys know as well because I don't want to hide anything. I have failed my development on the kernel before when I expanded to the LG G2, and various other devices. But everything came to an end because I wanted everything to stop so that I can sort things out as I did not work on the kernel properly.
Alright, so off goes my introduction. Now I will be presenting on my goals on the kernel I will be developing for the S6.
First and foremost,
I'll implement things that I've learn though my course of studies, followed by the things the kernel users want or need.
Last but not least,
I need some testers for the kernel as I am unable to do so with my S6. (I'm currently on an F2FS setup and will be testing my kernel once I've reached the phase for implementing arter's F2FS if viable.)
Right now I need a few testers who are either on stock, or are NOT on any Note-based ROMs.
I will begin releasing the zips to all the testers in private.
All you have to do is just indicate your interest in helping me test out my kernel by posting on this thread
Thanks,
Nixholas
