Building

Building from source is quite easy, but will require a little bit of extra work to get going.

This guide will assume you have Eclipse installed already, along with the Android-SDK.

It will also assume you are running Linux, because I do not know how to install the Android-NDK on Windows (I use Linux exclusively). There are some useful guides on this on the internet though.

OTA Updates

  • Clone this repo to somewhere on your computer. I use ~/git
cd ~/git && git clone https://github.com/Kryten2k35/OTAUpdates
  • Open up Eclipse and import "Existing Android code into workspace" and follow the instructions during the wizard. Things will not compile properly at the moment, because we're not finished

CardView

You also need to import the cardview library from Google's support code. Make sure your Android SDK is up to date and import form the following location:

$SDK_ROOT/extras/android/support/v7/cardview

Now right click on the OTAUpdates project in Eclipse and choose properties and add cardview as library (or edit the missing library that most likely exists)

Google Play Services

You also need to import the google_play_services library from Google's extras code. Make sure your Android SDK is up to date and import form the following location:

$SDK_ROOT/extras/google/google_play_services

Now right click on the OTAUpdates project in Eclipse and choose properties and add google_play_services as library (or edit the missing library that most likely exists).

ByPass

Once you've done the above, you need to edit the project one more final time:

  • In Eclipse, right click on the project and choose "Properties"
  • Choose "Java Build Path"
  • Click the "Source" tab
  • Choose "Add folder"
  • Check "src_bypass"
  • Done!

Try a build

Now, try building and installing the apk on your device. It should now work.

For including in your ROM you need to head over to the instructions for installing.
