[GUIDE][DEV]Compiling CM9/10/10.1 for ZTE Skate

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Based on sej7278's blade guide

Make sure you have set up your build environment first.

Ok, first you need to install repo, google's git script.

mkdir ~/bin

PATH=~/bin:$PATH

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo

chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Now you need to initiate git and download the CM9 source. use

repo sync

to download source and update.

mkdir - p ~/cm9/vendor/zte/

cd ~/cm9

repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogenmod/android.git -b ics

repo sync -j4

Next step is to download our device config.....

mkdir ~/cm9/device/zte

cd ~/cm9/device/zte

git clone git://github.com/ColdFusionX/android_device_zte_skate.git skate

......and ZTE proprietary files

cd ~/cm9/vendor/zte/

git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_zte.git -b ics

Downloading Kernel Source (skip this step first time, if you get stuck on the kernel error because it didn't download automatially then follow this and skip to the last step)

cd ~/cm9

mkdir -p kernel/zte

cd kernel/zte

git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/zte-kernel-msm7x27.git -b ics zte-kernel-msm7x27

Update prebuilts (ROM Manager, Terminal Emulator)

cd ~/cm9/vendor/cm

./get-prebuilts

Now to compile...this will download the kernel source first time round, As far as I know CCACHE is optional...

cd ~/cm9

export USE_CCACHE=1 CM_SNAPSHOT=1

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch cm_skate-eng

make bacon -j4

Good Luck! This will show you how to build ColdFusionX 2, I have'nt gone to in depth, so if it's a bit complicated mix and match instructions from the CM9 tutorial above :)

mkdir cm10 && cd cm10

repo init git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b jellybean

Download local_manifest.xml and move to .repo/

repo sync

Apply patches from here and here To apply Konsta's patches cd to bionic and frameworks/av respectively and apply like this:

git am *.patch

To apply C3C0's patch:

gedit kernel/zte/zte-kernel-msm7x27/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4319

Add this line:

-Wno-array-bounds

underneath:

-Idrivers/net/wireless/bcm4319 -Idrivers/net/wireless/bcm4319/include \

Get prebults:

 vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

Setup build, lunch and compile:

export USE_CCACHE=1 CM_EXPERIMENTAL=1 CM_EXTRAVERSION=[yourname]

. build/envsetup.sh

lunch cm_skate-userdebug

make bacon -j4

CM10.1 (rough guide) Initialise the env.

repo init -u https://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-10.1

Download the cm10 manifest above and replace all projects with these.

<project name="androidarmv6/android_device_zte_skate" path="device/zte/skate" />


<project name="androidarmv6/android_device_zte_msm7x27-common" path="device/zte/msm7x27-common" />


<project name="androidarmv6/android_kernel_zte_msm7x27" path="kernel/zte/msm7x27" />

Sync with the sources

repo sync -j32

Build.

. build/envsetup.sh

brunch skate

[/code]

Please post any errors you get while building. We will be able to help you.

well done mate. can't see any immediate errors.

but prepare for a shite load of pm's with people having problems and asking for you to sort it out ;)

you might also want to do a quick guide on how to add in new features from gerrit that have not been fully merged. as that question is bound to be asked below :)

[Guest tilal6991]

cd ~/cm9/vendor/zte/

should be

cd ~/cm9/device/zte/[/code]




And you're missing:

[CODE]cd ~/cm9/vendor/

git clone git://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_zte.git -b ics zte[/code]


Apart from that looks good.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

OK thanks.

Shouldn't we use the props from your github, I didn't think koush's had the skate in...

[Guest tilal6991]

OK thanks.

It didn't. Until 3 days ago when Tom accepted the pull request to merge the Skate.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Ah right.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

I've updated hopefully that's right now

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

thanks a lot guys!

this recipe brings me much further

but, it seems I need to configure something to be able to download the kernel

have a nice day

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Try

lunch cm_skate-userdebug

[Guest XMasterNinni]

That shouldn't be the error. Try another prebuilt kernel (device/zte/skate/prebuilt/..)

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

Hi razzmataz1478,

After 'lunch cm_skate-userdebug', 'make bacon -j4' first cleans up things and then gives same error.

Hi XMasterNinni,

How do I 'try another prebuilt kernel'? device/zte/skate/prebuilt is a bit skinny:

~/cm9$ ls device/zte/skate/prebuilt/

skate_keypad.kl start_usb0.sh synaptics-rmi4-ts.idc synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.idc

Thanks!

Take an existing boot.img and place it there?

And then try and compile again

[Guest XMasterNinni]

Would be nice if it's just as easy as replacing a boot.img...lol

Try another device tree (maybe AOSPFX one...). Although I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't work. But worth a try :mellow:

[Guest tilal6991]

cm ~/cm9

mkdir kernel

mkdir kernel/zte

cd kernel/zte

git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/zte-kernel-msm7x27.git -b ics zte-kernel-msm7x27

[/CODE]


And then run lunch and make again.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

mehhh, i can't download the kernel source automatically now, same error

[Guest razzmataz1478]

updated to include kernel source downloading

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Now I'm getting this:

make: *** No rule to make target `device/zte/blade/releasetools/extras.sh', needed by `out/target/product/skate/system/bin/extras.sh'. Stop.

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

Hi tilal6991

make now continues (after adding kernel source tree)

btw: 'cm ~/cm9' almost bit me ;-)

thanks all for your kind help!

ps: perhaps soon I can change my profile 'Member Title "Newbie"' to something else, if only I knew how ...

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

would there be an issue with 2 makefiles below?

~/cm9$ grep device/zte/blade $(find -iname makefile -or -iname "*.mk") | grep -v proprietary_vendor_zte/blade

./device/zte/skate/device.mk: device/zte/blade/releasetools/extras.sh:system/bin/extras.sh

./device/zte/skate/BoardConfig.mk:TARGET_RELEASETOOL_OTA_FROM_TARGET_SCRIPT := device/zte/blade/releasetools/ota_from_target_files

thanks

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

and with device/zte/skate/releasetools/ota_from_target_files itself?

~/cm9$ grep blade device/zte/skate/releasetools/*

device/zte/skate/releasetools/ota_from_target_files:EXTRAS_FILE = 'device/zte/blade/releasetools/extras.txt'

[Guest tilal6991]

I've fixed it. Just do a git pull on device/zte/skate and it should work now.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Now there's no rule on how to create ROM Manager.

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

there is another reference to device blade in device/zte/skate/BoardConfig.mk

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

after editing

device/zte/skate/device.mk

device/zte/skate/BoardConfig.mk

device/zte/skate/releasetools/ota_from_target_files

(replace blade with skate)

my build finished

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Thanks man I'll try that now
