I want to build a rom from source for my xperia s
I searched in the forum but i just saw how to compile the source for nexus...etc
what is the most simple way to get the latest version of TextSecure installed on my Android Phone?
My solution was creating something using the sourcecode found here: [URL] But the question is, how can I get it working. I've tried multiple things, but it seems like it isn't as easy as I thought. Currently I am on Windows 8. My phone is an Xperia S without GAPPS flashed, so no Play Store. Only F-Droid with FOSS.
I want to build AOSP from sources. Specifically on the Nexus 10.
I downloaded the proprietary binaries from the Nexus Binary Download page. [URL] .....
I followed instructions how to set up the source code and build it but i am not too sure how to correctly extract the proprietary binaries. [URL] .....
I used the self-extracting shell scripts to extract the binaries in the root of the directory i executed "repo sync" in. (in my case: WORKING_DIRECTORY)
The binaries were put to "WORKING_DIRECTORY/vendor"
My question is whether i did it correctly and whether the binaries will be included in the build when i hit "make".
I want to build some apps (like Camera, Gallery, etc.) from source code of CM. But I don't know how to do it. I have the source code synchronized with CM git.

However, when I attempted to make a distribution release, the "make -j4 dist" failed. The following are the commands I used:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch aokp_p3113-userdebug
make -j4 dist
I got the following error messages:

By the way, I don't need to build OTA package.
How to build sdk from source code
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying for days to build the android source in Ubuntu. I followed all the steps outlined in "http://source.android.com/ download", but the actual make of the source fails. I captured the terminal output and saved it to Google Docs in the hopes that someone a lot smarter than me can figure out what I'm doing wrong :)

1. I built SDK Android on Ubuntu OS completely. But this SDK only for eclipse on Ubuntu OS. I want to create SDK for Window XP. How can I do that? Does it like how to built SDK Android on Ubuntu OS?
2. I download Apps in Android source code such as: Email, Calendar, Music, Setting,... but when I import them into eclipse, it have some errors: project Calendar requires "import android.provider.Calendar;", "import android.provider.Calendar.Events;",... So where can I download "android.provider.calendar", "android.provider.calendar.Events"... from? Or how can I set up environment?
I'm using Android SDK 1.5 r3. I have source code of Media Provider which i wanted to modify. My intention behind is: add http server files in the data base & Music application can list urls & can play on Media Player. So that i've created new project with package like com.android.Media & copied all the java files & related resource & manifest files in project. But Media Provider is using some internal packages like android.media.MediaScanner, android.media.IMediaScannerListener, android.media.IMediaScannerService, android.os.FileUtils, android.os.SystemProperties, etc. I guess these packages are not available in SDK. So my question is how do I build the Media Provider source code & do my task ? What is the alternate development method is available in Android for this kind of task? Is is possible to create SDK from Android source code which contains above mentioned packages ? and I can use this SDK in windows to build Media Provider application.

I was looking through my system files with root explorer and I notice in the build.prop file, I had the information for the Xperia Arc instead of the Xperia Arc S. I changed some of the info to the Arc S, like LT18i instead of LT15i. But I'm not sure if I changed everything correctly and can upload the build.prop file for the Arc S.

It appears the build instructions for Android open source project are out of date as they say to use JDK 1.5 but the master branch now depends on JDK 1.6. More info at this link:

So here I have a link to an x10 which has been run over by a 70 seater bus but the device still works. It maybe that the glass panel is smashed but at least it is still on to access your data and the touchscreen still works too. The build quality is very good and is something I would look for in a phone anyway. Here is the link
http://gadgets.apnafundaz.com/2010/09/xperia-x10-broken-touchscreen-touchpanel-survives-bus-run-over-amazing-build-quality/
Everyone probably has the exact same Build Number, but than again, maybe a couple don't. So after a search, I was not able to find a thread like this, so here it is. I just received my X10 yesterday and per Sony Support, my X10 has the current OS. So here is my info:
Firmware Version: 1.6
Baseband Version: 1.1.32
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-rel
Build Number: R2CA016
Does the phone have a light source? for instance if u wanted to take a picture where there is no light u would need a flashlight.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am in between phones right now, and no longer have a N1 and am looking to replace it with another Android phone without switching carriers from AT&T.They currently have the HTC Aria(I have no interest in), the Samsung Captivate(Galaxy S), and will soon be getting the X10.This phone has been out for some time in EU/Asia and Canada for a bit, and I am fairly familiar with it. It seems the bad points are no multi-touch ever, Android 1.6 with a who knows for sure on Android 2.x, but the rest seems fairly solid. Most of the reviews are from when it first came out, and generally complain about the GUI being slow.My questions are basically:
1. Is the phone solid hardware wise, with build quality etc? I know it's mostly plastic, but does it feel cheap, hold up well?
2. Has Android 1.6 caused you any problems app wise? I'm fairly certain google navigation works on 1.6, which is a deal breaker for me if it doesn't.
3. How is the GUI, do you enjoy it? I can't stand Samsung's TouchWiz, Moto Blur, and prefer stock Android, but don't mind HTC Sense.
4. I keep reading something about the screen doesn't have all it's colors activated or something? Others say it is amazing. Curious if it is the Super LCD Sony is selling HTC to replace AMOLED.
I know the Galaxy S has a better CPU, GPU(Android isn't much for gaming anyways), more ram, Super AMOLED, blah, blah but their software is terrible and I don't like their form factor.
For about 3 - 4 weeks ago, I had a problem with my phone after updating the firmware, that there would be some source code running in the right side of the screen, I wrote about it in here and some one told me that I should use pc companion to reset my phone, I did it and it helped or at least I thought it helped. The day after my phone ran out off battery, and when it was charged I turned on my phone and the proble was there again, and since then, every time the phone is turned off and back on again I can start with resetting the phone too get the source code away.
So what can I do? Can I restore to the original firmware again or is that impossible? Because I'm so close of throwing the phone on the ground from 3'rd floor and go back to my iphone again. Another problem, I use the program in the phone to backup all my contacts, sms, call info and so on, but when I restore after a reset ALL my contacts is gone, and yes I have marked the contacts to be backed up.
I downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?
I just bought my SE x10 mini pro and today I said that there was some firmware updates for it. Then I updated the phone through PC companion and followed the screen and after a while the phone was updated. But then my problem started, I have some source code / text running in the upper right corner of my phone screen all the time. Every time I'm starting a new program or returning to home screen I can see the commands the phone is giving. How do I get rid of it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of learning to build android from source. I've got my AOKP rom booting and am working on adding superuser to it, and am running into troubles. After much googling here is what I've done
Cloned Superuser source code
Code:
git clone git://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser.git packages/apps/Superuser
Copied the su binary from my current rom (/system/xbin/su) to my device tree
Edited device.mk
Code:
# Build superuser
PRODUCT_PACKAGES :=
Superuser
# copy su binary
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES +=
device/lge/E973/su:system/xbin/su
Everything built fine and Superuser is in my app drawer when rom boots. If i try to open Superuser it force closes. Root checker shows that i am rooted, and typing 'su' in terminal emulator gets root access. Neither will give me a dialog asking to deny or grant.
If i install SuperSuperuser from the market, it will present all the normal dialogs and everything seems as it should.
Here is a logcat of the failed attempt to open superuser
Code:
