Root [GUIDE] Setting Up your Android Environment

I'm trying to sync my repo with Mantera's source and I got an error on at least one of the groups.
Scratch that. My sync exited out due to fetch errors. What does this mean for me and would I be able to sync parts, or do I need to sync the whole thing?:confused:

And also, is there a log that I can refer to to see what may need refetching?

If you run repo sync again, it will just try to continue on where you left off.
 
What do I do when I get this?

Also, Could I just build parts of the project? Sorry if I'm too newb.
And how do I tell the system what I want built? Weather I want CM7 or CM9?

I don't see any problems in your given screenshot- it looks like it is syncing up just fine from those lines.

If you want to build CM7 then you have to repo sync from a gingerbread branch instead of the ics branch. So you could set up another directory, repo init it parameterized by gingerbread instead of ics and then repo sync from that branch. Then you can build each from their corresponding directories.

If the repo sync is just stopping there and not moving after you've waited a long time, then it sounds like the sync is hung. Do this:

1. HIt CTRL+Z on your keyboard.
2. Type and then hit Enter: killall -9 repo
3. Type and then hit Enter: killall -9 python
4. After doing step 2 and/or 3 above, you will see a message about the process that was killed. If you still don't see a message about the python process getting killed, then repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Restart the repo sync by typing: repo sync

In that picture, the curser just blinks. No more indication of progress after a couple of hours.

I've been reading this and other threads and I have been doing the copy and paste thing. I have noticed that under the part where I tell "repo" to sync it ends in ics. I would imagine that is for ICS Android. I also see that it pull everything from FroYo through ICS. That is unless I'm misunderstanding what I am seeing.

I've been able to change from mantera's repo to Whyzor's, but his seems to be incompleate. I guess he uses mantera's and his? I'm a little lost, just getting into programming. And like most people, I have a life too. Is there a guide where I can see what I am doing with "repo"? That way I can decode it to have a better understanding what to expect?

I'm not sure if it matters, but my system is running with with 2GB of RAM. More RAM on the way.
 
My repos aren't complete, I only published ones that I made changes to. Basically you have to sync with mantera's gingerbread branch, then add mine as remote, then pull from mine to merge into yours. Then in the future pull updates from Mantera & CyanogenMod & push to your own repo if you want publish it publicly (which I recommend).

Yeah, that's what I figured. I plan on researching all of that soon, maybe friday. Been busy at work and home lately, wich makes it hard to learn big new things. But at least I'm able to inch along

Thanks to everyone who is willing to take their perscious time to move us noobs to (probably) ROMers then to Developers.

man that learning curve is steep.:D
 
Hey guise, new here to Triumph. I've attempted building a ROM for the Optimus V before but my main question is.. even if I build the ROM, how do I make changes internally? Does this require programming experience? What I mean is, sure I could build the ROM using someone else's files but how would one actually contribute to the ROM? For example, how would I begin to attempt a fix for the camera? Do I test different files which have worked for previous versions of the Triumph or maybe pull it from different devices? I don't want to just build it; I want to help improve it ^_^

guys what does this mean ? root@ubuntu:~/android# repo init -u https://github.com/mantera/android.git -b ics

Looks like you don't have a good copy of repo. Make sure that you did this:

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

and that it downloaded correctly.

Edit: Oh and just so you know, the repo doesn't build correctly right at the moment. The last merge from CM broke something. I haven't had a chance to fix it yet.

That would explain a lot! I'll rebuild "repo" or download or whatever I'm doing:)
 
I don't know if you want to add it, but sense "repo" runs out of ~/bin/ it may help others to know that if they get an error that "repo" doesn't exsist, then they could move their focus to the "~/bin/" directory or change the command beginning to "~/bin/repo".

I get that a lot because I keep leaving and coming back after rebooting the computer.

No, it's not fixed yet. However, your error isn't because of that. Firstly, you can't pull the proprietary files unless you're using a FROYO rom which I assume you're not.

Secondly, you don't need to pull proprietary files anymore if you synced to my repos as that pulls the files down for you already.

Having programming experience would help... At the very least, it is usually a good thing to be able to read the code and figure out what the code is trying to do which would help if you're trying to get code from other devices/developers and trying to use it.
 
I kept getting fetch errors so I found a switch "-f" to force the sync. I thought I would post it to find out what everyone thought.

Edit: nevermind, I still get the fetch error. I'm going to keep running "repo" and looking for solutions until I get it.
