[TUTORIAL]Setting up and compiling CM9/CM10 from source

Since I’ve seen many questions on how to build cyanogenmod 9 (CM9) from source for the Galaxy Nexus, but there isn’t a proper guide, I will attempt to write a small how-to. There already is a very good guide how to build ICS from source, but there are a few extra things you’ll have to do for CM9. I hope it will be useful, and if not, well, at least I’ve tried
LATEST UPDATE: August 20th - also added CM10
SETTING UP THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT
I highly recommend Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit for development or Linux Mint 13. It is possible to build on different linux distro’s, but I cannot cover all exceptions. (If you don’t have linux installed or are afraid to set up a dual boot, it is possible to build in a virtual environment –e.g. virtualbox-. Building in a virtual environment however, can be very slow. Also, 64 bit is recommended.)
Make sure java is installed! At the end of this post, I have written a small guide how to install java.
Set up adb and create proper udev rules
I will not write these steps down, but rather point you to some very nice and easy guides. It would be best to do this first, however, it is not completely necessary if you just want to build a fully functioning rom.
1) set up adb (follow this excellent guide)
2) set up udev rules which allow you to start adb without having to use sudo (follow this terrific tutorial)
Installing all necessary packages and set up repo (source)
Open a terminal and copy the following code:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev:i386 \
g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
WARNING: run the following commands as user (NOT as root) unless stated otherwise (e.g., when it explicitly shows ‘sudo’ before a command)!!!
Next, you’ll have to install repo to download the source. First we’re going to create a bin folder (1) in our home directory and include it in our path (2). Also, download the repo script (3) and make it executable (4). All from the command line:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Okay, we’re done with the first part. So far it’s been similar to building pure AOSP.For CM, there will be some additional things you’ll have to do.
DOWNLOADING THE CM SOURCE
Create a directory (CM9 -or CM10-) for your working files:
Code:
mkdir CM9
cd CM9
and then initialize the main CM repo (For CM10, just replace ics with jellybean):
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
Good, now you’re ready to download the source. This can take a couple of hours!! Run the following command from the terminal (Run the following commands in the terminal from the root of the directory that contains the source, e.g., ~/CM9/):
Code:
repo sync
Okay, the majority of the files needed to build CM are now on your computer. However, device specific files are needed. To get them, issue the following command in your terminal:
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch
After the lunch command, choose your device. If you have a GSM version, choose cm_maguro, if you have the CDMA version, choose cm_toro. Additional files needed for your device are being downloaded right now.
Before you can actually build the rom, you’ll need to run two more commands to get some proprietary files.
1) Open a terminal and go to CM9/vendor/cm/. Run the following command:
Code:
./get-prebuilts
This will download term.apk and rommanager.apk. You will need these files otherwise you’ll get an error while building.
2) Now we need to grab some files from your phone. Make sure you have a working build cyanogenmod version (just install a nightly) on your phone. Make sure adb is setup properly (see beginning of this post)!
Connect your phone to the pc. Open a terminal and go to CM9/device/samsung/(Maguro OR Toro)/. Run the following command:
Code:
sh extract-files.sh
BUILDING CM9/CM10
The building part is very easy. It just requires two simple commands:
Code:
source build/envsetup.sh
brunch
After the brunch command, choose your device. Again, if you have a GSM version, choose cm_maguro, if you have the CDMA version, choose cm_toro. Depending on your computer, hopefully you’ll have a fully functioning CM9 or CM10 in 30minutes-2hours (or even longer) . You can find the rom in: /out/target/product/(Maguro OR Toro)/
Next time you build, first clean your working directory. Enter the following command in the terminal:
Code:
make clobber
This will completely remove your output directory!
To update the source, before each build just run:
Code:
repo sync
ADDITIONAL INFO
Install Java
Installing java is very easy in Ubuntu 12.04. Java 6 is recommended. To install it in Ubuntu 12.04 or Linux Mint 13, download the most recent Java 6 SDK from HERE. To install, open a terminal and run the following commands:
Code:
$ chmod +x jdk-6u34-linux-x64.bin
$ sudo ./jdk-6u34-linux-x64.bin
$ sudo mv jdk1.6.0_34 /usr/lib/jvm/
$sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/java 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/javac 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/javaws 1
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javac
$ sudo update-alternatives --config javaws
NOTE: after each 'update-alternative'-command, choose the correct (new) java version!
To check if you have the correct java version, type in a terminal:
Code:
java –version
I also added JAVA_HOME to my path; I don’t know if it is still necessary, but it doesn’t hurt either. First, check where java is located. In a terminal type:
Code:
which java
In my case the output shows /usr/bin/java, but it could be located somewhere else. Write down the path minus '/java'. Then open /home/USERNAME/.bashrc and add the following line to the bottom of the file:
Code:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin
Of course replace /usr/bin with your path. Then save and close, and in a terminal run:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
Odexed version
Some people like their rom to be odexed. There are multiple ways to achieve this (special thanks to Planet X for helping me with this):
1)Instead of ‘brunch’ do the following (if you are building for toro, replace maguro with toro):
Code:
source /build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_maguro-user
make –j4
(Note:
taken from source.android.com: GNU make can handle parallel tasks with a -jN argument, and it's common to use a number of tasks N that's between 1 and 2 times the number of hardware threads on the computer being used for the build. E.g. on a dual-E5520 machine (2 CPUs, 4 cores per CPU, 2 threads per core), the fastest builds are made with commands between make -j16 and make -j32.)
2)If you want to build an odexed version every time and just want to use the brunch command, do the following:
-Open build/core/main.mk
-Comment out (place a # at the beginning of the line) lines 240, 241, 245, and 246. Thus, replace:
ifneq (true,$(DISABLE_DEXPREOPT))
ifeq ($(user_variant),user)
Ifeq ($(HOST_OS),linux)
WITH_DEXPREOPT := true
Endif
endif
endif
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
# ifneq (true,$(DISABLE_DEXPREOPT))
# ifeq ($(user_variant),user)
Ifeq ($(HOST_OS),linux)
WITH_DEXPREOPT := true
Endif
# endif
# endif
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you can use the brunch command to build an odexed version with insecure boot image.
Hopefully this guide will benefit some people, if not, it kept me busy for a while. Enjoy building!!
(btw, I'm not a native english speaker, so excuse me if I made errors in grammar )

Wow great work. These tutorials keep getting better making it so easy to compile your own rom!

So what does that "brunch" command actually do?
Is it just a script that does the make otapackage commands and stuff?

Indeed! Brunch is actually a combination of 'lunch' and 'make'. Using the 'lunch-part' you choose your build (in our case the maguro or toro). Next, the 'make-part' actually gets things going. The nice thing using brunch is that it automatically detects the maximum number of threads it can use so that it will run at maximum speed.

Finally set my computer up to compile CM9 last night for the first time and after a few tries I finally got it going. The only problem is that I am now getting an error very close to this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25452343&postcount=3093
That poster says that it has been happening for a few days now. Is this a known issue with compiling CM9 or is this just user error? I have tried twice compiling now and have had no luck. Is it working for anyone else?
---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------
Here is the exact error that Im getting. I tried it again today just to see if it anything had changed.
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mark/CM9/kernel/samsung/tuna'
make: *** [TARGET_KERNEL_BINARIES] Error 2

Thanks for this guide. I just built my first CM9 kang. Getting ready to flash it. Now to find a guide on what I can and can't change and recompile or do I just remove stuff and use 7-zip to zip it back up?

Glad to hear you succeeded building your first kang. I don't really understand what you want to do next? If you want to remove stuff from the zip, you can. I for instance always remove stk.apk. But you can also modify the build files so that only things you want will be built. You can play around with the source code and things like that. Anyway, most of the answers you will find using google. I also very much like the development board on Rootzwiki; people are really helpful and friendly there. So if you have any specific questions, i recommend that forum as well!

Okay thanks. I was asking just what you answered. I want to be able to remove and/or add stuff to the zip for starters. I found the answer through Google, but I do appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'll definitely be visiting the Rootzwiki dev board. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have successfully compiled cm9 from source but have never tried to cherry pick or Kang anything yet. Could you quickly explain how you cherry pick with cm9?

That's a very useful link, thanks! In addition, if you want to cherry pick commits that haven't been merged yet -specific CM commits, such as navbar customization-, have a look here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/branch:ics,n,z
Now let's say you see something interesting that you want to add. Then look at that commit and you'll see a 'download' command, such as "git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base refs/changes/06/13306/15 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD". Just run that command and if everything works, you have succesfully cherry picked a commit. -of course, because these are not yet merged, there is the chance that no everything will work as it should-

There are also some GUI programs to manage git. I'm just about to try gitgui by all accounts it is very good.

Building cm9 for the Kindle Fire

BUILDING CM9 FROM SOURCE FOR THE KINDLE-FIRE
This is a guide to help with building a rom from Hashcodes source for the kindle fire.
I am no Dev so please go easy, and if you see any mistakes let me know and I will amend them, It took me a week of reading and asking numerous questions (to proper :angelev's:angel with lot's of mistakes to build my first rom.
Below is what worked for me in the end, (but from what I have learnt, every setup is different).
I'm posting this guide hoping it may help in someway, but please read and research as much as possible before starting
Please follow this guide at your own risk.
Please don't blame me if anything in this thread messes with your system.
I tried lot's of things and in the end I installed a new ubuntu 11.10 x64bit on a external 500gb hdd, (the nice thing now is that all my building etc is all done on a external hdd so I can not mess up my pc AGAIN
I tried 32 bit (but java didn't like that)
I tried ubuntu 12.04 (which is what I dual boot on my laptop)
and the one that worked for the following info was ubuntu 11.10 x64bit.
So here goes.
First you need the following installed.
sun-java6-jdk
android sdk (adb etc) (setup as normal for the kindle fire).
eclipse classic.
Then you set up extra build-essentials
Install the Build Packages
sudo apt-get install*git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
sudo apt-get install*g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
Install the repo
mkdir -p $HOME/bin
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > $HOME/bin/repo
Then add the following to your path (e.g. in $HOME/.bashrc)
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
Then onto the build setup.
mkdir -p $HOME/otter/cm9
cd $HOME/otter/cm9
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics
download the local_manifest to .repo
curl -L -o .repo/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.github.com/KFire-Android/android_local_manifest/ics/local_manifest.xml
at this point you should have a folder called otter inside your home folder and inside this a folder called cm9.
If you show hidden folders in cm9 you should also find a folder called .repo, inside you should have your local manifest, open with a text editor (ie. gedit) and make sure it looks like this.
(hashcodes manifest as of 07/03/2012)
**

Then sync your repo
repo sync -j4 (duel core)
(this can take a while (mine took 6 hours) (I have a laptop with dual core but only 1.3ghz).
this script uses ccache which will make subsequent builds at least two times faster.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "usage: build.sh "
exit 1
fi
device=$1
# ensure ccache is in the path
export PATH="$PATH:$PWD/prebuilt/$(uname|awk '{print tolower($0)}')-x86/ccache"
setup()
{
USE_CCACHE=1
CCACHE=ccache
CCACHE_BASEDIR="$PWD"
CCACHE_DIR="$PWD/.ccache"
#export CCACHE_COMPRESS=1
export USE_CCACHE CCACHE_DIR CCACHE_BASEDIR
if [ ! "$(ccache -s|grep -E 'max cache size'|awk '{print $4}')" = "10.0" ]; then
ccache -M 10G
fi
source build/envsetup.sh
#lunch cm_$1-userdebug
}
setup $device
LOGFILE=build_${device}_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M).log
START=$(date +%s)
#make -j`cat /proc/cpuinfo| grep processor | wc -l` bacon 2>&1 | tee $LOGFILE
brunch $device 2>&1 | tee $LOGFILE
END=$(date +%s)
ELAPSED=$((END - START))
E_MIN=$((ELAPSED / 60))
E_SEC=$((ELAPSED - E_MIN * 60))
printf "Time to compile: " >> $LOGFILE
[ $E_MIN != 0 ] && printf "%d min(s) " $E_MIN >> $LOGFILE
printf "%d sec(s)\n" $E_SEC >> $LOGFILE
grep "Time to compile" $LOGFILE
copy/paste the text in a file called $HOME/build.sh, make it executable (chmod 775 build.sh). The script also saves the build output to a file called build_otter_.log.
then onto the build.
cd vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
cd ../../
then onto buiding
source build/envsetup.sh
then this is the build command
brunch otter (this starts build)
Enjoy
To start over and wipe "out" folder
(from within /otter/cm9)
make clobber
or
rm -rf out/target
build.sh otter
(this can take awhile (mine took another 6 hours)
I had a few things missing and at various times throughout the setup/build I had to download some missing libs. etc (I was prompted all the way through, it would tell me I had so & so file missing and I just used the software centre to dl the missing files).
By all means ask me questions but don't be offended if I answer back “sorry I don't know” as I've already mentioned I am learning myself.
Cheers
Steve

[Q]Whats the OG HTC EVO 4G Supersonic repo for CM9

What is the OG HTC EVO 4G Supersonic source? Like if i were to build CM9 myself were can i get the source code and repo for building it? I what i want to do is try to build JellyBean from the source code thing. I finally got Ubuntu 12.04 working on my new laptop and I want to try and develope something maybe even continue AOKP.
For Example:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
enter sudo password here.. then:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
if you get an error, type
$ sudo apt-get -f install
say yes or ok to any prompts then install packages.
While still in terminal, type:
$ su
enter your password
$ sudo curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > /bin/repo
$ sudo chmod a+x /bin/repo
$ exit
$ cd cm7/system (Like I know I would have to change this but i dont know what to put there)
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.1.1_r1
Enter your name and email, then press Y, then type this:
$ repo sync -j8

couldnt find a direct link but try this http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P50 htc official developer site..the latest version i saw was 2.1
edit
sorry the latest version available is 2.3 http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/supersonic-2.6.35-gb-MR.tar.gz

Thank You and with the second link you posted i can also use ti to build CM9 right? Isnt that link the device files? Or do i suppose to use jmztaylors repo to build CM9? Does he even have one?

honestly, i have no idea about that one, you may have to ask a dev sorry

I don't know if you already found an answer to your question but.
JMZ is developing for CM9/CM10 and has been doing some amazing stuff.
Perhaps contact him?

Don't forget to replace the red marked text with your username from Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
When building a kernel, you only need to start from here. Pick the appropriate branch from the git manually. My example below shows how to download the required files to build a Jelly Bean kernel. What I did was visiting the git repository each time and picked the appropriate branch.
https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/maguro
$ mkdir ~/Documents/kernel
$ cd ~/Documents/kernel
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/maguro -b jb-release
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again pick the right branch from https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git
$ cd maguro
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git -b android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-pre1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ensure the toolchain is in your path.
Default, Easy solution
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt -b jb-release
$ export PATH=$(pwd)/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
$(pwd) is a variable holding the current working directory.
Bandwidth-friendly solution
You can also download the toolchain to another directory. Bit first write down the directory you are working at.
mkdir ~/Documents/toolchain
cd ~/Documents/toolchain
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt -b jb-release
export PATH=~/Documents/toolchain/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instead of specifying the location of the toolchain with a relative path, we must specify the absolute path here.
Now we go back to where we were working.
cd ~/Documents/kernel/maguro
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I hope you understand why I mentioned the bandwidth-friendly solution. With little insight you could have come up with it yourself.
Now let's build the kernel
$ cd omap
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export SUBARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
$ make tuna_defconfig
$ make
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[*]Now you need to put it in a flashable zip.
Possible issues, things to avoid, FAQ
- Avoid downloading the kernel sources to directories which might require root/superuser access. This is one of the reasons I downloaded all sources to '~/Documents'. This will save a lot of time messing with chmod or chown commands.
- What is 'tuna', shouldn't this be maguro? No, actually not. Tuna is the board name, while maguro is the codename of the Nexus. Something you might want to remember when building kernels.
Interesting files and locations

ICS didn't compile here on Ubuntu 12.04. I believe I needed to do some additional work. ICS was also released before Ubuntu 12.04 was released. Jelly Bean will compile just fine.
The only thing that was difficult to figure out was how to setup the Java 6 JDK properly which I had to figure out by trial and error.
The cherry-picking is handy when you want to 'steal' someone else his work. Let's say 99% of the developers do this all the time here on XDA. I wanted to explain how to cherry-picking because it's useful to know. I spent a long time getting here.

I think 4-5GB if you download everything. If you only download the Jelly Bean things by only downloading the branch you need you will use about maybe 1GB I am not sure. Try it out.
Download the toolchain to a separate directory. This will save lots of bandwidth in the future.

Good job on this guide. I learnt this ages ago though

Linaro is easy.
Google to download the linaro toolchain from their website. And then it's a bit trial and error to fill in:
CROSS_COMPILE line
it's not arm-eabi- anymore buy gnu-arm-eabi or something similar. It has to do with the directory structure or the filenames.
If you get a compile error about vfp or something you must correct this in a make file.
Take a look in francisco franco's github account or AIR Kernel. They have commit which describe what they did if they ran into compile errors. Normally you won't have to change anything I think.

Thanks OP. Maybe when I'm free I'll give this a try. I always wanted to try to make a stock kernel + colour tweaks + trinity contrast + 384 GPU for my own use. As this is considered I am "stealing" work, I wouldn't bother uploading this kernel I have compiled stock AOSP 4.0.4 (referring a guide) for the galaxy nexus. Except I didn't test out the rom as I didn't own a nexus back then.

thanks OP, but why apt-get install openjdk after manually install JDK 6? it is nothing about kernel compile but fail on the whole aosp compile.

I took the one in the 1st post :

It's arm-eabi-4.4.3

I tried with Ubuntu 12.04 to be exactly in the same conditions as described in the 1st post but I have exactly the same error...
That is really weird... Any ideas ?

Remove from makefile this:

Otherwise you can use new toolchain from my github:

I noticed JZO54K has a crashing camera bug. I checked several times, redownloaded everything on different devices being maguro and grouper.
Has anyone managed to build CM10 or AOSP on Ubuntu 12.10 ? When installing the same packages I notice everything crashes. It's unclear if it's actually the packages or Google Chrome. I suspect one of the packages being the culprit.
I am going one by one through the packages in Ubuntu 12.10. Those willing to help me let me know. just install each package one by one.

[GUIDE] Compiling your own AOKP (ICS Branch) from Source

Hi! Here's a complete guide for people who want to develop AOKP from source. I havent compiled any ROM from source because my internet connection is too slow. This guide will work, as far as I know. So lets start off by seeing the requirements.
Requirements :
Code:
1. A 64-bit environment. (64-bit is necessary for android 4.0 and plus builds)
2. Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 (with 64-bit architecture)
3. 2Ghz Dual Core Processor
4. 2GB Minimum ram
5. 50GB File Space (For only one rom source)
The device tree can be found here : Link. (thanks to whitexp for the device tree and percy_g2 to provide the correct links in the replies.
Now Open the terminal (CRTL+ALT+T) and go ahead as follows :
1. Update your OS
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
2. Download the required packages :
2A. Installing JDK:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
Once its installed check weather its installed properly or not.
Code:
$ java -version
The output should be like this :
Code:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01, mixed mode)
2B. Installing required packages.
Code:
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev libreadline6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils xsltproc pngcrush gcc-multilib lib32z1 schedtool
2C. LibGL shortcut issue solver:
Code:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
3. Setup installing repo
Code:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
4. Create the working folder
Code:
$ mkdir aokp_ics
$ cd aokp_ics
5A. Making the directory for downloading the source
Code:
mkdir -p ~/rom/android/system
Now go into that folder by :
Code:
cd ~/rom/android/system
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
5B. Downloading the AOKP source:
Code:
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b ics
6. Sync repository:
Code:
$ repo sync
** Please note that this will take a long time. You need fast connection because the size repositories is 8 ~ 12 GB.
7. Setting up the source folder
Once the sync finishes without breaking all the folders will appear in rom/android/system folder, Execute :
Code:
mkdir -p ~/rom/android/system/device/samsung/totoro
and then for vendor, execute this :
Code:
mkdir -p ~/rom/android/system/vendor/samsung/totoro
8. Compiling
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_totoro-eng
brunch cm_totoro-eng
** Your build will be located at /rom/android/system/out
All the best.. ​

And how will this work again?
Without proper source implementations from the device?

i am not an expert in this so I have said that this will work "as far as i know". I have gone till the step in which you have to sync repo. So I thought that this will surely work even ahead of that step.
Ya sure. Some senior GY dev must verify this.
There is a file called default.xml in repo/manifests. You have to change it according to your needs.

LoLz... Let CM9 get stable! AOKP and other ICS based source compiled roms come after!!
Also PPA no longer exists! Java won't install with the method given in the guide!

Also, If you haven't tried on your own you can't say it works -_-
And you didn't mention which device config to be used -_- People aren't pros like you #LOL

Yeah, CM is AOSP with Major Modifications in Google AOSP Source for Performance!
Also instead of compiling ICS based roms you should first compile CM7/GingerBread roms! Coz if you directly start off with CM9/ICS I am sure you are going to get frustrated of the big big errors you are going to face!

AOKP or any aosp builds based on cm9 can be compiled but it will have same bugs like CM 9 and device tree can be found https://github.com/Whitexp/android_device_samsung_totoro/tree/ICS here for SGY .
Its useless until RIL is fixed

Also compiling isn't that tough!
But writing proper HAL's and fixing the bugs is tough!!

hmm thread is not a bit useful in this forum
aokp on galaxy y5360
make me laugh
we can dream for cm7.2 aosp is a milestone that cant be achieve

I am new here and not a professional.
I have tried this. But i didnt make the final build because my internet is too slow(256K modem). but i have reached the sync repo step successfully and so i thought i would share it. But now i see that sharing it was waste.
And yes, @Arnav.G its not a rule that CM must be maintained first and AOKP after that. Anyone can start the work of AOKP simultaneously. I was seeing your profile and i saw that you also have posted a guide on compiling CM, AOKP and all. I sincerely think that the guide is not so noob friendly, you should make it more simpler by separating the commands which you have pressed into one.
greetings.

AOKP and Galaxy Y look so funny together!
Btw you missed the major steps:
Setting up vendor
Setting up device tree
Setting up kernel source
And obtaining cm_totoro.mk
Anyways, its worth the try.. atleast you guys would be able to see AOKP
