Guest targetbsp Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Oh I see! I'll abort my compile and put that bootanimation patch in then :D I'm not that fussed about boot animation, I just imagine the CM team would want a good looking full size one in anything official!

Guest sej7278 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Already done - http://review.cyanog....com/#/c/16056/ . As for official - first let the video recording patch be merged. Then I'll pull up the commit which adds the Blade for review. whilst this seems to make the clock app launch quicker without such a visible "squishing", i'm finding that in general this really slows down the app drawer (swipe between app screens to see) and even the notification power widget (click the wifi toggle to see) due to too much animation - its all fades and wipes. you seemed to have replaced both set to true to both unset (not sure what the defaults are) but here and elsewhere i've seen them set like this, never both the same: <bool name="config_sf_limitedAlpha">false</bool> <bool name="config_sf_slowBlur">true</bool> which concurs with the docs here as you want alphas but you don't want blurs. oh looks like your github and gerrit are different - you've got slowblur=true and alpha=false in github, methinks gerrit needs redo'ing.

Guest jventura Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Hi all, just made my first CM9 compilation today accordingly to the first post, by sej7278, and all went ok. I've got a Xubuntu 12.04 machine with the latest packages as mentioned in http://wiki.cyanogen...ogenMod_(Linux), sun's java6, only had to install lib32z1-dev because I'm on a 64 bits machine. I used to compile CM7 in Xubuntu 11.04/11.10 and everything works the same. Sej, can I suggest you to consider to add some things in the first post, when you change it? Some sugestions: - Packages you need like in the CM wiki. - Mention which commands do what. For newbies, copy-paste automatically make them learn nothing. For instance, separate the commands to download repo and make it executable from the ones which create cm9 folder and download cm9 source - When you download the zte proprietary libs, you have ~/cm9, I have ~/android/cm9, others may have other things. That rsync command to copy may be criptic, you could just use your File Manager to copy it. - You should mention that when you download cm9 first time, there is also no device trees (except common and 1 or 2 others). In cm7 you downloaded them all, glad they changed it in cm9. - Mention that when you start to compile first time, the zte blade tree will be downloaded as also the Kernel. My suggestions are just to make your excelent post a little bit more pedagogical for newbies, hope you don't take it bad!

Some sugestions: - Packages you need like in the CM wiki. i'd prefer that people refer to the wiki, although that's largely out-of-date, i've not really tracked which packages i've had to install, and i use debian/fedora not ubuntu. i might have something in the cm7 howto i did a while back, or the aosp one. - Mention which commands do what. For newbies, copy-paste automatically make them learn nothing. For instance, separate the commands to download repo and make it executable from the ones which create cm9 folder and download cm9 source maybe i should do that yes, i hadn't considered that people wanting to patch/compile android would have limited linux knowledge, that's pretty frightening. - When you download the zte proprietary libs, you have ~/cm9, I have ~/android/cm9, others may have other things. That rsync command to copy may be criptic, you could just use your File Manager to copy it. NO! you can't just copy the directories, you have to merge them (some add, some delete, some overwrite) so rsync is the only way. plus it makes it easier to manage when you get updates via github/repo. i don't use the directory structure in the howto myself. - You should mention that when you download cm9 first time, there is also no device trees (except common and 1 or 2 others). In cm7 you downloaded them all, glad they changed it in cm9. - Mention that when you start to compile first time, the zte blade tree will be downloaded as also the Kernel. that's true (both the same issue) i'll add something about that. it is a bit odd that you have to compile once to pull things down before you have the device and kernel trees, so you can't patch them first.

Does repo sync fetches also the proprietary files at github.com/koush? If not, if I git clone it directly to the target folder, will it mess with CM9 repo sync? Git cloning it directly would allow for git pushes directly, correct? - You should mention that when you download cm9 first time, there is also no device trees (except common and 1 or 2 others).

It is the only way that I could do.. Maybe there is another way? Like repo init -u ... device/zte/blade? But maybe it would mess with the git/repo tree, and mess repo sync's.. What I did was starting the compilation to download blade tree, then CTRL-C to stop it after download, so I could apply patches to the zte blade device tree..

Guest shezar Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Actually the needed packages are on the AOSP instruction site for Ubuntu (10.04-12.04 i guess). http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html And I'm with targetbsp: I myself don't know many linux commands. But I don't consider myself a total noob, I just rarely use linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest targetbsp Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 The AOSP site looks to have somewhere to grab java from. :) I'm a programmer, just in Windows. I haven't used Linux since my Uni days until I started compiling CM7! The downside is that now I keep typing ls into DOS. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shezar Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 And I myself am more into web programming but I'm studying as an electrical engineer and I'm eager to learn more about mobile device programming and such. Android isn't unlike what I do it's only on a much larger scale.

Guest jventura Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I've recompiled with latest patches, but is it just me or (stock) CM9 is still far from the fluidity of ColdfusionX? I'm talking mainly about the transition on the launcher and in the app drawer.. Maybe the default settings are different in ColdfusionX? João Ventura Edit: Maybe the comment in http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/16056/ is correct? Will create a branch to test it..

Guest shezar Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just a question: am I right that when I rebuild only by running make installclean beforehand only the changed parts will be rebuilt and the whole process will be significantly faster? I have made a new build in under an hour while the first one took about 6. In other words: Should I clear the out folder every time or running the cleaning script is enough?

Edit: Maybe the comment in http://review.cyanog....com/#/c/16056/ is correct? Will create a branch to test it.. yup, the new change is definitely slower in notification power widget and app drawer than cfx or cm9 have ever been, due to all the fading. whatever makes cfx app drawer seem faster than cm9's isn't due to this change as cfx had a faster app drawer for months not a few days since the github commit, however it does seem to fix the "exploding" clock issue (a bit, maybe not entirely, its just less noticeable as its faster, the screen still squishes). maybe the combinations need playing with - we've had alpha=false/blur=true (unset defaults as now) and true/true (before patch), maybe blur=false/alpha=true or false/false need testing?

Guest sej7278 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 You don't even need to run the cleaning scripts. you can't just say that without qualifying it. if you don't run make installclean a lot of stuff won't get rebuilt that you may expect (environment variables don't get re-read for instance) and even if you do run it the kernel binary doesn't get rebuilt. the safest, albeit slowest way is to delete the out/ directory entirely; but the minimum you should do is make installclean and be aware of the consequences, unless you're just rebuilding a framework for instance and not an entire rom.

Guest tilal6991 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 The easiest way to get a complete rebuild is by deleting out/target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm going to diff the cfx repo against the cm9 one and see if I van spot where the difference is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. When I was making frequent changes to couple of cpp files this was not necessary. Also kernel gets compiled without installclean if you make any changes to any of the c files. Anyway, builder should always pay attention to what is getting built and what not. The build output says it all. And timestamps of files in the output dir, too. This is very helpful and quick if you're debugging some libs. Because all you need to do is run the build after modifying source code and push new libs into the phone so you don't need to flash the whole thing again. I even push new built libs even before the build process finishes to save more time but this is something I do not recommend :) Edited May 17, 2012 by C3C0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) @tilal: yeah but it's unreal for some of us that have slow specs or running VMWare as compile times with clean out folder reach 3-5 hours.

False/False (Alpha/Blur) seems better than True/True and False/True.. Will try now True/False (I'm on vacation today.. :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
