Hi Guys,
LeMaker finally released their source for Android and I have put it into a GitHub repo (for obvious reasons).
I have also added a few utility scripts that make it really really easy to build your very own Android image from scratch.
Here are the very basic instructions.
Should work with Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04
The commands below are assuming your root, otherwise you may need to use sudo.
Install git if requiredClone the source code to your pc (ANDROID is the name of the destination folder - you can change this)
The repo is currently 2.66 GB- git clone https://github.com/ChrisP-Android/lemaker_android ANDROID
Remember, the first build takes quite a while depending on your PC specs.
Builds after that are much quicker.
Current Annoyances / Problems
- Install.sh script needs user interaction to accept Java t&c's - if anyone can figure out how to stop this, let me know.
Some interesting files & folders to play with- ANDROID/android/device/softwinner/sugar-lemaker/sugar_lemaker.mk
- ANDROID/android/device/softwinner/sugar-lemaker/BoardConfig.mk
- ANDROID/android/device/softwinner/sugar-lemaker/init.sun7i.rc
- ANDROID/android/device/softwinner/sugar-lemaker/camera.cfg
- ANDROID/android/devices/softwinner/sugar-lemaker/vold.fstab
- ANDROID/android/device/softwinner/common
- ANDROID/android/devices/softwinner/wing-common/ProductCommon.mk
- ANDROID/android/devices/softwinner/wing-common/preinstallapk
Thanks to zrox, dlanor, tony_zhang & ChrisP!
Note: I no longer maintain this repo. Please direct any questions etc to ChrisP
NOW GO GET BUILDING! |

Hi liab,
maybe your issue was because the installation script was not properly installing java runtime. I fixed it and played a bit with the repo and didn't encounter your issue. You should update and retry and tell if you still have the issue ?
Regarding the image generated, I have some quick feedbacks:
- First, it's running faster then the one generated by the SDK 2.0. Especially in CPU/RAM area, and slower in 2d/3d area. It's hard to give accurate numbers, as antutu benchmark is giving important variation between each test, but it seems to be the general tendency.
- LibInput is working fine with the mouse right, left and middle button, but have the same issue with Logitech Keyboard as before.
- MAC address is not visible from android settings (but can be seen using a su + "busybox ifconfig" in a terminal emulator.

Yes.
Sounds like you cloned the source when I was still having issues with it.
Should be fixed now.
in the scripts directory, runThis should update your source code.
Then, try ./build.sh again |

Yes.
I only briefly tried the .img.
Noticed the MAC address missing.
This should easily be fixed by updating the GMAC driver to the same as the other source I think |

Additionnal issue: Going to 1080p is transforming the screen in a kind of kaleidoscope ! |

Today both are ok.
git clone https://github.com/matthuisman/android ANDROID
git clone https://github.com/matthuisman/lemaker_android ANDROID-041214
But even the same like ChrisP, 1080x flickering at the lower end of the screen.
Edit: The lemaker image is very slow! Streaming in HD from a enigma2 sat-box is only for some minutes possible, afterwards it crashed, like the stock and the 4.4.
It seems only 1 cpu is busy?
root@android:/ # mpstat -P ALL
Linux 3.4.39 (localhost) 12/05/14 _armv7l_ (1 CPU)
04:35:34 CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %idle

Here the same with my very very good matthuisman for a few days ago:
mpstat -P ALL
Linux 3.4.39 (localhost) 12/05/14 _armv7l_ (2 CPU)
04:42:05 CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %idle

04:42:05 1 16.49 1.77 10.93 64.21 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 6.60
The same good result with the tonight build matthuisman/android:
mpstat -P ALL

05:00:08 CPU %usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %idle

This is just the raw source provided by Lemaker.
Does their Android 4.2 image do it?
If not, then they haven't really provided us their source... |
