Compiling Clockwork Mod From Source

[brando56894]

Edit: It seems like I forgot a major requirement: you need to have Ubuntu (or a variant of it) installed

After two days and countless hours spent I finally figured out how to make a custom version of ClockworkMod Recovery for the OG Droid. Everything will easily be done by two bash scripts.

The first script will set up the build environment by pulling the source tree from Cyanogens github and pulling proprietary files from your phone.

The second script will compile the source code and automatically flash the recovery you just built, then reboot into it for you to test it out.

The attached zip file has both of these scripts plus ADB. All you have to do is extract them, execute setup.sh, change whatever you want, execute flash_recovery.sh and then bask in your creation! warning: the scripts above are newer, use those

Note: the setup.sh only needs to be run once, each successive time just run flash_recovery.sh

Or if you want to take the easy way out heres the image I compiled. Put it on your sdcard and acquire root access in a terminal then type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img thats it! It doesn't like to flash some zip files for some reason.

Changes from stock
1. Removed Factory Default option and replaced with a complete phone wiping option
1. Wipe all but sdcard does what it says, wipe is done twice to ensure a clean partition.
2. Removed all the extra "No's" from the confirmation screens

Known Bugs
1. Wont flash certain zips, namely those that use the amend scripting language, which is no longer supported.

Anyone? I know I have to set up a vendor system or something (I know koush has one that everyone uses for roms but Ive never built a custom rom) but no idea how to go about it. Once I get it to work Ill upload it for everyone.

I wish I had the know how to do this stuff... I got linux installed, just need to start reading more! If you can't find any help here check out xda developers forum for some Q&A. Those guys have some good faq's to check out. I'm sure someone on here has the knowledge to help out though!

GL and keep us updated!

Someone on here (I forget who ATM) made a custom SPR so at least one person has to know how to do it, I'm sure its not that much different (if at all!).

I just learned Java and IIRC the code isnt java.

i posted on here earlier but didn't fully understand your question.. but could you post the source code or a link to where you found it? I've been looking all over for it

So does anyone else know how to compile the code and convert it into an .img file?

I dont remember where I got it from originally, but heres my modified version. I probably have the original archive somewhere on my ext4 partition but im in windows right now.

I'd like to add an option in there that says "Wipe All" which will do double passes on /boot, /cache, /data and /system. But thats going to take a little figuring out. So far all I did was remove all the annoying "No's" and made it wipe everything twice.

BTW the source code is written in C.

This is the original source code. So which compiler to use, and how does one compile it in the .img Fastboot flashable form?
