HOW-TO BUILD:

This short guide assumes you're on Ubuntu 11.04

Getting the (right) source

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 git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread

$ repo sync -j16

Depending on your connection, this might take awhile.

Getting the device configuration for the Huawei U8510

We need Makefiles and other stuff for the device. Take it from the repository

$ cd ~/android/system/devices/huawei/

$ git clone git://github.com/supertoast/android_device_huawei_u8510.git u8510

or download the tarball https://github.com/supertoast/android_device_huawei_u8510/tarball/master and extract it to ~/android/system/devices/huawei/ and name the new directory u8510

Extract necessary binaries and proprietary files

We will need to reuse some proprietary files from the stock ROM:

$ cd

$ cd ~/android/system/device/huawei/u8510/

$ ./extract-files.sh

Building CM7

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 cyanogen_u8510-eng

Installing CM7

If the build was successful, you can now take the update zip found in out/target/product/u8510/ and flash using a custom recovery. Make sure to grab the latest Gapps to complete the experience.

Before you syncing to the latest CM src remove the changes in vendor/cyanogen that was made from the script setup-makefiles.sh.

$ cd ~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen

$ git reset --hard HEAD

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
