SiX ROM

Getting Started

---

To build SiX from source, you'll need to be familiar with Git and Repo.

To initialize your local repository, use this command:

repo init -u https://github.com/SiX-ROM/manifest.git -b n-mr2.1

Then to sync source, use this command:

repo sync

After syncing is done, use these commands to build:

1.) . build/envsetup.sh
2.) brunch xxxx yyyy

xxxx= device name aka shamu
yyyy= build type (user,userdebug,eng)*

*if no build type is specified "user" is default

12) Sync Repo:

repo sync

if you need to force sync

lunch

pick your device number from menu

make -j4 otapackage

14) Find the ROM:

Flash ROM & Enjoy

Extra Commands

to cleanup before build

make installclean

to delete output and more

make clean

make clobber

Jack issues

Having jack issues (ran out of memory), follow steps below.

open a terminal on your desktop and put this into your terminal,

substituting the # with how many GBs of RAM you have:

$ export JACK_SERVER_VM_ARGUMENTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx#g"

now go into the root of the source folder and type the following:

./prebuilts/sdk/tools/jack-admin kill-server

then

./prebuilts/sdk/tools/jack-admin start-server

now go back and do step 13) time mka nougat

JAVA 1.8 INSTALL

Add the repository and update apt-get:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

Install Java8 and set it as default:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

Check version:

java -version

JAVA 8 REMOVE TO USE 7 FOR MM

sudo apt-get purge oracle-java8-installer

Then type:

javac -version

The output must be:

javac: command not found

and to install java 7 in Ubuntu I use this code in terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

After that type the following to see if there is java installed:

java -version

The output must be:

java version "1.7.0_80"

INLINE KERNEL*

go to build/core/tasks

open kernel file

Internal variables

hash this one

#KERNEL_OUT := $(TARGET_OUT_INTERMEDIATES)/KERNEL_OBJ

add this one

KERNEL_OUT := $(ANDROID_BUILD_TOP)/$(TARGET_OUT_INTERMEDIATES)/KERNEL_OBJ

make sure this one is like this

KERNEL_CONFIG := $(KERNEL_OUT)/.config

now go to device/moto/shamu

open BoardConfig.mk

Inline kernel building

TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := six_defconfig < your config

TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/moto/shamu

BOARD_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME := zImage-dtb

KERNEL_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX := arm-eabi-

KERNEL_TOOLCHAIN := $(ANDROID_BUILD_TOP)/prebuilts/gcc/$(HOST_OS)-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8/bin

now grab the tool chain from source or uber

https://bitbucket.org/UBERTC/arm-eabi-4.8

now add the toolchain here

prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8

now add your kernel source here

kernel/moto/shamu/

to build just the kernel

make clean

then

make -j4 bootimage
