Guest Wincik Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hello, I want find "clear" ICS build, but there is nothing. For the building (for example) CM9 devs used stock ROM or compile own from AOSP? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 CM9 isn't something "created" for this device, it's built off the CM tree which is based on AOSP. There's no "clear" AOSP builds yet, but they're not particularly challenging to do. You just need the hardware support and the device stuff.

Daz, what skills would you actually need to build from source anyway? I've always thought about doing it, but my laptop doesn't meet the requirements. I'm getting a new one though, so if building from source is doable, I might as well try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Skills to build? Very few, but it depends what you're building. At the moment ics is the only thing we can build without a bunch of patches. Building itself is entering a few commands and waiting a while.

Do you think a 14 year old would be able to do it, it sounds too easy to be true to be honest. And when I mean 'do it', I mean getting an actual booting rom. All the other stuff can be thought about later, booting is the most important step. Edited April 2, 2013 by kyan31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Most likely unless it's CM10.1, which is a complete mess at the moment because of the external repos and patches we need. CM10 needs some patches but it boots without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest raverrr Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The spec of your laptop doesn't really matter I've heard of it being done on a netbook. Any half decent computer running Linux will manage it. I'm trying to learn myself. I'm very close to an aokp build. Just a few things left to do. The lappy I'm using has 3gig ram only hour and 20 minutes or so to build rom and kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blademaster123 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hmm that doesn't sound too bad, I have 1 gig of ram though and a 1.86 GHz processor (dual core) is that enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your laptop will probably crash with only 1GB of RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thejaimes111 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Probably not. Your laptop will probably crash with only 1GB of RAM Yes, have 2Gb ram and it runs out of ram. Anyway creating a swap partition solves it, and I can compile :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blademaster123 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 So 3 or 4 gigs? Minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george109 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I have a 4 gb dell with windows 8 and that is fine with compiling ROMs even if it's a bit slow :) EDIT: I've made a silly mistake, ignore that!

Compiling from source means to make a ROM from scratch. That method is the easy noob method, which involves you grabbing some mods of XDA and putting them in a stock ROM. I wan't to move on with developing, so this isn't what i'm looking for. P.s I already have 2 ROMs out now, so I won't be needing the guide anyway :P Edited April 2, 2013 by kyan31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyan31 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have a 4 gb dell with windows 8 and that is fine with compiling ROMs even if it's a bit slow If your using a tool such as DSIXDA's tool, that's not actually the same as compiling a ROM such as CM. Compiling a rom with the XDA tool will take maybe, 7 minutes. Compiling a rom from source such as CM will take over an hour as it is not the same thing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest george109 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Actually it would be quite interesting to see if I can compile a ROM from source. I would be over the moon if it even booted! :P Edited April 2, 2013 by george109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 first thing you want to do is is get a Linux distro on your PC if your running windows best hassle free option (use 12.10) http://www.ubuntu.co...ndows-installer then set up your build environment, you can follow this Guide up to >> III. The sources http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971645 stop at this point, as things get specific for you and your device / what your building your build environment should be set up though, which is a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend learnt that the hard way and had to reinstall windows as I think it corrupts the bootloader... i wouldn't know about windows 8, but its what i use on windows 7 the link i gave also has instructions for what to do if your using windows 8, would be surprised if its dangerous ? Have a new PC with the Windows 8 logo or using UEFI firmware? Please use a 64-bit flavour of Ubuntu, installed directly to its own partition rather than using the Windows installer.

Guest Wincik Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) U can use Wubi installer. ;) But Wubi can use only 30GB and source AOSP download me 12GB :D U can have a problem with using Cache. Edited April 3, 2013 by Wincik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
