Hi All,
I have managed to upload the source for the Android to GitHub
https://github.com/matthuisman/android
I have also added some custom scripts to make things a bit easier.
The end result, is the following few lines to build an Android image completely from source- apt-get install git
- git clone https://github.com/matthuisman/android ANDROID
- cd ANDROID/scripts
- ./install_14.04.sh
- ./build.sh
The idea is to have this source as a completely "vanilla" stable source code for Android images.
So, any major fixes / basic features etc, could be committed to this source.
Then people can fork it for own custom builds / new features or drivers.
If you have a Github account and can contribute, leave your username so I can add you.
Any suggestions / ideas? |

I have compress my source code into a package that has removed all the git histories. But it is also very large, about 2.9G.
And the uncompress source code is about 9G. I will upload it into the cloud. |

Hi Matrix and Tony,
Is it not better to check the difference between the sources from you tony or the sources which I uploaded
with the vanilla sources from google?
So that we share just the patches, kernel and the toolchain ?

Hi Matrix and Tony,
Is it not better to check the difference between the sources from you tony or ...
I think we should have a look at these file first to see if it can be mutualized or not.
Tony ? Any update ? |

Ragarding suggestions, I have a pretty ambitious todo list  )
0 - Build a specific tuned and optimized MediaPlayer android build, whatever android/kernel version, using Kodi only.
1 - Move to Lemaker 3.4.103 kernel
2 - Move to Mainline 3.18 kernel
3 - Build from scratch a kitkat image
4 - Let's be really crazy: Lollipop ? |

Regarding Objective 0, I have the sub-todolist:
- Identify anything not usefull for this objective, and wipe it out of the build.
- Implement any tweak that make the image optimal out of the box, just after first boot.
- Improve Ethernet performance, which is in my opinion far sub-optimal on android for now.
- Find a better way to automatically launch Kodi at power-on.
- Add IR support to rulez Kodi.
- Implement any tweak/tuning that can really be efficient, not just random settings because they are given as advice on some forum.
And general rules: Have fun, be proud to be a geek, and learn a lot of stuffs  |

I also currently have an ODROID-U3.
It runs Android 4.4.4.
But, they have a very cool "Odroid Utility" app.
It let's you change resolution and even switch to portrait mode.
See here:
http://com.odroid.com/sigong/nf_ ... mp;tag=&bid=238
They also share their source.
It's a completely different CPU (Quad core Samsung) but maybe something to aim for? |

My original plan for a media build was to write an app.
This app would let you
Enable / disable autoboot kodi.
Enable / disable using external player
etc
This app itself could handle the autobooting of Kodi. |

Hi All,
My source code is from Allwinner, and I patched the gmac, lcd, tp, etc. I just got the approve that I can release them.
About ChrisP suggestion :
1 I agree.
2 It is possible
3 Maybe not a good choice because the hdmi driver.
4 I will pack the kitkat source code, and get the approve.
Another ideas:
Write a sdk that can control the low level pins such as gpio, i2c, spi, etc...

Hi Tony,
If you get that archive up, I can try to get it into a GIT repo? |
