[GUIDE] HOW To COMPILE A KERNEL 5/22/2011

does this work with a ubuntu vm, or do you have to have just ubuntu?

 

Great write up. Anything you compile from LGs current source will not run on phones that came with 2.2.1. We need to modify an s or v kernel until LG gets off their lazy asses

 

@asadullah,
this should helpful to anyone who is looking to play with android.

@everyone else
from slower to faster
--------------
1)if you are a windows user you can use ubuntu in a virtual machine

2)if you are a windows user you can install ubuntu like a program with the ability to reboot your computer and use either windows OR ubutnu, this option is not as fast a real install, but at least you can control the system resources.

you can also uninstall it like a program this way.

3) install ubuntu
--------------
if anyone chooses to play with android I suggest not even asking for a pre-built environment. just follow the directions and learn what it is that you are doing.


....speaking of "prebuilt", i would assume that another option could be andLinux

 

I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE LOOPs!!!

the possibilities are endless after that! debian on android :3

 

@asadullah are you using 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu? I've been waiting for a 64 bit adb binary cause I've been having to vm 32 bit debian to run adb. You know if the release a 64bit version for Linux yet? Thank you so much for contributing to our community I know you don't even use the M so that's cool as shit of you.

 

you should be able to run 32bit with no problems, you should not need a virtual machine.

 

@reppard

even if you are still using slackware, all the big distros usually have everything you need in the repos, you just need the all the 32bit libs

these aren't neccessarily how-to's for you or anyone else to follow, but they are what you need to learn about

slackware
slackware multilib

ubuntu
64+32 bit, multilib or chroot and why? - Ubuntu Forums

 

Thanks man, I've built multilib slack boxes before but I just don't have the resources at the moment as I am tether only at the moment . Don't havevthe bandwidth and I can't find my 32bit slack discs just the 64 bit :/ just happy I've got virtualbox. You start that freenode channel yet?

 

no problem, i figure the irc can be a means of faster communitcations without the heavy resources. perfect of our 1x data streams

and I have not made the channel yet.. i don't want to name it on my own

at the end of the day, it's a group effort

 

Well I'm on freenode. Just fired up #optimusm for the time being.

 

Just for the hell of it I flashed an optimus s of kernel and it actually booted up....just had no display we should be able to port an of kernel fairly soon.

 

very nice! ... can you connect adb shell?

I'll be in #optimusm for anyone who wants to join.

 

I just wanted to clarify the importance of ending your command with ; if you want to pass multiple commands on the same line

Code (Text):

1. [FONT=verdana]
2. [/FONT]sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/lucid partner"; sudo add-apt-repository "deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner"; sudo apt-get update

also I want to mention that depending on which ubuntu distro you are using that command will be altered

where is says lucid you would replace with the code name for your release:
10.04 lucid
10.10 maverick
11.04 natty

also you can go here to get a visual how-to for those more inclined to see what is happening.

 

Yes I can. Well I didn't shell but I did adb logcat so I assume shell will work
