**Noob Alert**


So after I finally got a build to compile from source, (which took forever BTW), I loaded it up and couldn't activate it. I know the radios are not included in AOSP, so I was wondering how do I go about adding them to my build?

Im pretty sure the radios are not suppose to be in the zip right? What could be causing it?

hey adam,

i went through the process of building a ROM from aosp for my cdma galaxy nexus too.

i used the zip file from this post and followed the guys directions : http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1421188

i can confirm that my phone/data worked on the AOSP rom i built.

Thanks bro, i finally got it now i'm tring to get root to work and update through the superuser app

[sate86]

hey, i am having trouble with enabling root. i want to figure out how to include /system/bin/su and Superuser.apk directly into the ROM i build (as opposed to flashing it aftewards). can you please share your techniques/results with me if you get it to work?

cheers!

I've been asked this question before so this may help
check out the device/*/*/*.mk files, lets call this our device's make file (ie device/motorola/droid2.mk), this is where you include the SuperUser app , su binary and busybox binary (of course you can include it from anywhere, usually root stuff is in common.mk files, but this is easiest for our example).

ok so lets assume you keep the top of your source tree is @ ~/android/system so we set the TOP variable with something like...

export TOP=~/android/system

so lets navigate to the top of you build and get the SuperUser source

cd $TOP
git clone git://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser.git packages/apps/Superuser

I'm going to assume everyone can get the su and busybox binaries... moving on

place the su and busybox binaries in your devices prebuilt in the folder you intend it to be in on the system
so for this example we are going to use the path $TOP/device/motorola/droid2/prebuilt/xbin/su and $TOP/device/motorola/droid2/prebuilt/xbin/busybox

so in our device's make file we want to add a comment to note what we are doing, then tell the compiler to build Superuser.apk and copy over the required binaries
something like...

# Tell compiler where our prebuilt folder is
DEVICE_PREBUILT := device/motorola/droid2/prebuilt

# Tell compiler to build Superuser.apk
PRODUCT_PACKAGES := \
	Superuser

# Include busybox and su binaries
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
	$(DEVICE_PREBUILT)/xbin/busybox:system/xbin/busybox \
	$(DEVICE_PREBUILT)/xbin/su:system/xbin/su

# This is a script to automatically symlink busybox and su binaries on boot (the code for 91-busybox_linkage.sh is below)
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
	$(DEVICE_PREBUILT)/etc/init.d/91-busybox_linkage.sh:system/etc/inti.d/91-busybox_linkage.sh

Now we need to create the 91-busybox_linkage.sh file we can do this from this from the command line to make it easy so something like...

#make our install script in the correct file
echo "for cmd in $(busybox --list);do ln -s /system/xbin/$cmd $cmd; done; ln -s /system/xbin/su su;" > $TOP/device/motorola/droid2/prebuilt/etc/init.d/91-busybox_linkage.sh

#ensure that the script has the correct permissions
chmod 777 $TOP/device/motorola/droid2/prebuilt/etc/init.d/91-busybox_linkage.sh

EDIT: thanks nocoast
add these files to $TOP/build/target/product/security
https://github.com/C...eruser.x509.pem
https://github.com/C...y/superuser.pk8

if all goes well you should have a properly setup rooted aosp enviroment good luck guys
