This short guide assumes you're on Ubuntu 11.04
First, we need to create directories for the build:
$ mkdir -p ~/bin
$ mkdir -p ~/android/system
Now we'll need repo. Let's download it and make it executable:
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Log out and back in so the changes take effect.
Now initialized the repository and pull the source (with my repos attached):
$ cd ~/android/system/
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AkshayBz/android.git -b gingerbread
$ repo sync -j16
Depending on your connection, this might take awhile.
We will need to reuse some proprietary files from the stock ROM:
$ cd
$ cd ~/android/system/device/micromax/a70/
$ ./extract-files.sh adb
Once thats done you can start compiling.
Follow the aosp instructions on setting up the build environment. - http://source.android.com/source/download.html
When the environment is setup, we need to grab a copy of Koush's ROM Manager. This is necessary to build CM7.
$ cd
$ ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
Now, we build:
$ cd ~/android/system
$ . build/envsetup.sh && brunch a70
If the build was successful, you can now take the update zip found in out/target/product/a70/ and flash using a custom recovery. Make sure to grab the latest Gapps to complete the experience.
When you want to rebuild with new changes or after syncing to the latest CM src make sure to do the following before you recompile.
make clean clobber
