Again, again…

Now following Chris Soyars’ guide on how to build Android OS version 1.6 (donut) ROM with some cyanogen modifications.

$ mkdir donut-build
$ cd donut-build$ repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogen/android.git -b donut
$ repo sync

Then I retrieved the following proprietary HTC files:

htc-adp1.sfx.tgz – HTC Proprietary Binaries for the Android Developer Phone 1 (ADP1). Put this file in vendor/htc/dream-open
signed-google_ion-ota-14721.zip – Recovery image for Sapphire. Put this file in your main donut-build directory.
signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip – Recovery image for ADP1. Put this file in your main donut-build directory.

Then let’s unpack the files for ADP1:

$ cd vendor/htc/dream-open
$ tar zxf htc-adp1.sfx.tgz
$ ./htc-adp1.sfx
$ ./unzip-files.sh

Then do the same thing for Sapphire/Magic:

$ cd ../sapphire-open
$ ./unzip-files.sh
$ cd ../../../

Then we load all the available targets, pick one of the targets, and start the build:

$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch cyanogen_dream_us-eng
$ make -j2

Now I’m crossing my fingers. Hopefully I’ll get an Android v1.6 ROM with cyanogen’s cool modifications!
