Re: What is the best way to install a current (trusty) build of Ubuntu Touch?

 

Hi Ricardo,

thanks for the help, I will try that out.

Wonder if we still have old instructions around, as the CM10.1 build
is not supported anymore.

Well, that's what you get automatically when you follow the instrucations at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Building or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/AndroidDevel. It seems that starting with the Ubuntu Wiki was a terrible mistake, at the end I have just wasted several days following outdated descriptions and now I'm back to zero.

To fetch and build the latest image for mako (AOSP 4.4.2 based):
repo init -u https://code-review.phablet.ubuntu.com/p/aosp/platform/manifest.git
-b phablet-4.4.2_r1
repo sync

I assume that until that point this is the part usable for every device.

<download the binaries from google website>
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_mako-userdebug
make -j10

That will get you the images as we currently use.

I'm using the Nexus 4 build just as an entry point, I first want to learn about the build process and later on see if I can port Ubuntu Touch to another Android device.

So any documentation (of course only the not outdated one ;-)) would be welcome. As it seems, I will have to learn how to get the blobs for my device and how to actually carry out the build then, as "lunch aosp_mako-userdebug" sounds like this is something customized for mako.

Regards,
Mathias
