Configure USB:



[code]$ gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

add this to the above:

Set proper permissions:

$ sudo chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

JAVA JDK Installation: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-downloads-1637591.html

$ sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*

install Java JDK:

$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/java/64/

$ sudo cp jdk-6u34-linux-x64.bin /opt/java/64

$ sudo su -

$ cd /opt/java/64

$ chmod +x jdk-6u34-linux-x64.bin

$ ./jdk-6u34-linux-x64.bin

$ exit[/code]




Add JDK PATH to .bashrc:



[code]$ gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc

Add these lines:

# Java PATHs

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/64/jdk1.6.0_34

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin[/code]




Android SDK:



Download the SDK here:



http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html



Extract the SDK and place it in your home directory.



Add AndroidSDK PATH to .bashrc:



[code]$ gksudo gedit .bashrc

Add the following lines:

# Android tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin[/code]




Add PATH to .profile:

[code]$ gksudo gedit .profile

Add these lines:

PATH=$HOME/android-sdk/tools:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH"

To use the ADB Update software (or to verify a working adb path), use the following command:

$ android

Install the Repo:

$ mkdir ~/bin

$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH

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

$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo[/code]




Initialize the CyanogenMOD 9 Repo:



[code]$ mkdir android

$ cd android

$ mkdir system

$ cd system

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

Finally:

$ repo sync -j16

next

~/android/system/vendor/cm/get-prebuilts

then

cd ~/android/system

. build/envsetup.sh

breakfast e400[/code]




this will pull down all e400 files and dependencies.



now connect your e400 with adb enabled and run



[code]/android/system/device/lge/e400/extract-files.sh

this will pull all props from your device run

brunch e400

[Guest sparhawk76]

In the process of getting my build environment set up ... following your guide and found one ommission.

Before running "breakfast e400", you have to do the following:

cd ~/android/system

. build/envsetup.sh

Thanks for the great guide.

you also need to run:

cd ~/android/system

you ran extract-files.sh yet?

[Guest sparhawk76]

Yep ... although think the files I pulled back from my phone weren't working properly as my stock rom is GB based.

Trying another build right now incorporating some of the libs you sent me as you say they are ICS versions. Instead of using extract-files.sh, I have been manually copying the libs into the proprietary folder, and have been modifying proprietary-files.txt and running setup-makefiles.sh.

Just trying to learn my way around the android build system ... made a separate branch for the e400r in my build tree, got "USE_CCACHE=1 brunch e400r" running as I type this.

Learning alot as I go, but it's an exciting journey. Hoping I get some results out of this current build, will keep you updated.

[Guest hecatae]

to get cm9 working for the e400r it "should" only need the ril libs replacing

[Guest hecatae]

anyone got the msm-3.0.8 kernel?

[Guest yayakuya]

i think not yet.... :(

if there's already, i can't wait to port PACman into L3

[Guest hecatae]

3.4 kernel, currently on irc.freenode.net #teamhacklg trying to make the l3 boot 3.4 kernel

 

l3 specific branch to try and get this working: https://github.com/TeamHackLG/lge-kernel-lproj/tree/l3/3.4/4.1
