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!

Failed. Get up…

Failed my first attempt of building OpenEclair ROM.

Fortunately, I went to the OpenEclair IRC channel and dostra pointed me to Chris Soyars’ blog post on how to build an Android ROM.

So I’m reading it, and trying to master the basics of git while I’m at it.  Let’s get ready for round 2.
