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

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

hey all, what is your build setup?

mine is 64bit up-to-date (k)ubuntu 12.04 with openjdk-6

is that supported (in particular not sun|oracle jdb 6) ?

thanks

64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 VM

Oracle JDK 6

6gb ram

thank razzmataz, here is where I am confused, my latest 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 just does not seem to have oracle or sun as alternative for jdk.

did you install oracle (aka rip sun) manually or via apt ?

what does

update-alternatives --query java

and

dpkg -l '*' | egrep '(java|jdk)' | grep ^ii

look like?

reason to ask is that I wonder why own built ROMs do not work as they should, perhaps my specific java env?

I installed it manually. You can't use the openjdk.

[Guest muhahahaah]

Can you upload .repo/local_manifest.xml please?

Okay, here it is.

local_manifest.xml

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Okay, here it is.

local_manifest (1).xml

[Guest muhahahaah]

local_manifest (1).xml

Thanks, I'll try it again :)

** Do you have the right repo manifest?

[Guest tilal6991]

Woah. You're using the CM skate repo. You should not do that.

[Guest tilal6991]

Woah. You're using the CM skate repo. You should not do that.

[Guest muhahahaah]

Woah. You're using the CM skate repo. You should not do that.

How can I change that? Changing it in local_manifest.xml doesn't help, it always downloads it from cyanogenmod...

[Guest XMasterNinni]

@muhahahaah

I'll help you today ;)

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Woah. You're using the CM skate repo. You should not do that.

He's not.

[Guest XMasterNinni]

Sorted out.

He used the JellyBean device config. This uses the common msm7x27 config, which wasn't given.

@razzmataz1478

thanks! having used OpenJDK may explain why my own built ROMs did never work reliably, I recall it is in some FAQ to use Sun/Oracle SDK 1.6 (not 1.7), but, since OpenJDK is based upon Sun/Oracle JDK, I let ubuntu 12.04 choose.

I have now manually installed Sun/Oracle SDK 1.6 (+ integrated and set in update alternatives) and just built a ROM which I will soon try.

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

With my own builds (this time latest cfx cm9), even with sun-oracle

1.6 jdk, I have 'trebuchet launcher' loop stopping, and, next, after

cleaning dalvik, cache and data factory reset, I have 'setup wizzard'

loop stopping.

I am starting to believe skate android building is not meant for me

...

In any case, one can experiment and always recover so it is fun.

My goal is to see DVB-T TV on galaxy s2 in CyanogenMod using VLC one

day, this might be an utopy but still, one can try.

[Guest C3C0]

Looks like you are using incorrect adreno libs...

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

@C3C0

nice catch!

I do have correct ones in ~cm9/vendor/zte/proprietary_vendor_zte/skate/proprietary/lib/egl

(coming from 'git clone git://github.com/tilal6991/proprietary_vendor_zte.git -b ics')

But they are not in the system/lib/egl directory of ~/cm9/out/target/product/skate/cm-9-20120910-UNOFFICIAL-skate.zip

meaning: somehow they did not make it into the ROM zip

(I will look around a bit in the makefiles and build logs how that is possible)

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

here is a fix for the recipe

% mkdir -p ~/cm9/vendor/zte/

% cd ~/cm9/vendor/zte/

% git clone git://github.com/tilal6991/proprietary_vendor_zte.git -b ics

% ln -s proprietary_vendor_zte/skate # <<-- new because build system looks in vendor/zte/skate

the ROM now has the egl (and perhaps more missing proprietary stuff)

thanks all for help

[Guest C3C0]

Or...

% cd ~/cm9/vendor/

% git clone git://github.com/tilal6991/proprietary_vendor_zte.git -b ics zte

This will clone into zte directory - no need for symlink.

[Guest Nofan Tasi]

OK thanks

this ROM runs fine

(latest cm9 CFX)

... time to impress some friends ;-)

Hi devs, I need yr help :-) I managed to port many many gb roms from blade, ace & optimus one, all working great. But I got one problem when porting cm9 based roms, I hv 2 now, one XperiaICS from optimus one, & one SkateSIII from Samsung Gio, both smooth but USB mass storage not working

I think Ceco had that problem with paranoid. It may be related.

[Guest C3C0]

Yes. You need to decompile framework-res and adjust skate related parameters in xml files under values and xml directories

Use framework-res from working ICS rom as a base for config values.

And check your mic during call - this is often problem when porting ICS roms. Other side can't hear you.

This requires config changes in Phone.apk. Again you must decompile and change values.

[Guest razzmataz1478]

Just seen a tweet by Dazzozo that says AOSP r4 has broken compiling, sigh.
