This is a quick tutorial on building an ota package for Samsung Galaxy S Wifi/Player 4.0 using the CyanogenMod Android repo.

This tutorial begins with a belief that you have already sync'd down CyanogenMod sources and have set up your build environment.

• First, create a roomservice.xml for the Palladio (YP-G1 kernel). Put this file in /.repo/local_manifests/ (create "local_manifests" folder if you don't have one

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <manifest>
    <project path="device/samsung/ypg1" name="bbelos/android_device_samsung_ypg1" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
    <project path="kernel/samsung/ypg13.0" name="bbelos/android_kernel_samsung_aries" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0-ypg1-dev"/>
    <project path="hardware/samsung" name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_samsung" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>
  </manifest>
  </manifest>

• To set up the vendor tree, you'll need to cd to device/samsung/ypg1 and:

  1. Run extract-files.sh while phone is connected via usb to pull proprietaries from device. The script will then call setup-makefiles to generate vendor/samsung/ypg1/ and the necessary makefiles for blob manipulation.

  2. Next, from the root android directory, you'll need to:

repo sync
make clobber
brunch ypg1

Or

repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch ypg1

and the build will begin!

At the end of the compile, the generate ota package will be in out/target/product/ypg1/
