[HOWTO] ✏ Compiling Fairphone Open OS / Rooting

fp1_wo_sw_updates · April 22, 2016, 4:49pm

Looks like something is moving & getting pushed. Nice.

Max_S · April 23, 2016, 3:03pm

I just did a fresh build with the recent commits. And also got the same error again. I think I mixed the things up. You need to do an additional

. build/envsetup.sh

I think it copies some files from blobs to out directory (e.g. libwpa). At least it helped for me.

fp1_wo_sw_updates · April 23, 2016, 3:48pm

Can you post what kind of “same” error you get? I’m too lazy to pull the repo again without any “official” notification that everything 1.2.8-new is “in” there right now. But maybe it’s any easy problem that could be fixed?

Oh, I see now, it’s the SHARED_LIBRARIES/libwpa_client_intermediates/export_includes one. Okay.

Max_S · April 23, 2016, 3:50pm

Flashed the new build some minutes ago. It comes rooted now. Can be enabled in developer settings.
I was able to flash the binaries without wiping. No need to restore any backup so far. Of course Xposed and OpenGApps must be installed again.

Hey I’ve been an ass about the ability to share our custom roms (and still intend to be since we haven’t had an answer that I know of) but I’d like to congratulate FP on releasing their official builds of FPOSOS. That’s really appreciated.

And the abilities to switch of signature verif. in TWRP and to one-click root the phone are too.

andy · April 30, 2016, 12:51pm

I built FPOS a couple times a month or so ago (the unmodified version direct from the FP2 gerritt, then again with the patches from the first post of the uNLP thread), and with the new code it’s failing to build. Steps:

repo sync
(then the four steps from the uNLP thread:)

repo download fp2-dev/platform/frameworks/base 3
repo download fp2-dev/device/qcom/common 4
rm vendor/qcom/proprietary/target/product/FP2/system/etc/permissions/com.qualcomm.location.xml
rm vendor/qcom/proprietary/target/product/FP2/system/priv-app/com.qualcomm.location/com.qualcomm.location.apk

. build/envsetup.sh
choosecombo 1 FP2 2
make -j8

And the failure point:

#### make failed to build some targets (20:59 (mm:ss)) ####

Anyone sucessfully build the new code with uNLP support?

jochensp · April 30, 2016, 2:17pm

I guess you had the output of an old compilation lying around. Remove your out directory and try it again.

andy · April 30, 2016, 2:35pm

I thought so too, I ran make clean and restarted the compile a while ago. I also noticed that there’s newer fp2-sibon blobs than the one on the compile instruction page, should I be using the 16.04 one instead of 2.0.1?

edit:
Still failed after cleaning out the out folder with make clean. Same error as before, if I’m reading this right:

andy · April 30, 2016, 5:53pm

And the same error again after deleting out (again) and adding the new sibon blob.

xaxa · April 30, 2016, 9:31pm

Most likely you will already know, but as it is java causing this error… are you compiling with openjdk-7 ? Because I had similar java errors, when I tried with the first version
If you don’t just tell with “update-alternatives” which java version to use for make. Otherwise please tell us your system-configuration

wvengen · May 2, 2016, 2:52pm

Same problem as @andy problem when compiling with fairphone2-build-env, which uses openjdk-7.

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_95"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.4) (7u95-2.6.4-0ubuntu0.14.04.2)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)

wvengen · May 2, 2016, 4:37pm

If I comment the line containing maybeMarkCapabilitiesRestricted(), compilation continues, but I get another error:

packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/applications/InstalledAppDetails.java:444: error: cannot find symbol
      int mode = appOpsManager.checkOpNoThrow(AppOpsManager.OP_SU, mAppEntry.info.uid, mAppEntry.info.packageName);
                                                           ^
  symbol:   variable OP_SU
  location: class AppOpsManager

I noticed that the checked-out branch of frameworks/opt/telephony was fp2-sibon. The upstream branch fp2-sibon-2.0.2 was different. Perhaps we need to repo init ... -b fp2-sibon-2.0.2 … ?

edit I was able to compile only after running this after repo sync

find . -name \*.git -execdir git checkout fp2-sibon-2.0.2 \;

andy · May 3, 2016, 5:14pm

It worked!! Not sure precisely what I did that fixed it…

First I updated my Ubuntu vm (which I hadn’t done since February) and actually removed the out folder instead of just counting on make clean to clear it out. Then:
repo sync -c
. build/envsetup.sh
choosecombo 1 FP2 2
make

This was after adding the new sibon blob (as mentioned in my other post).

Edit:
I’m using java-7-openjdk-amd64

lorenz · May 26, 2016, 7:20am

I’m just wondering: On the download site http://code.fairphone.com/projects/fp-osos/dev/fp2-blobs-download-page.html , binary blobs are available in version 16.04.0. In both this article and the official build instructions http://code.fairphone.com/projects/fp-osos/dev/fairphone-os-build-instructions.html , version 2.0.1 is linked.
The new tgz file is 47mb, whereas the old one is 199mb.

Why is that so? What’s the difference and should I use the old one or the new one?

xaxa · May 29, 2016, 8:32pm

I have downloaded the blobs via bash unpacked them but when I try to run I get the following:

~/Fairphone_Open_OS$ s̶h̶ ̶f̶p̶2̶-̶s̶i̶b̶o̶n̶-̶1̶6̶.̶0̶5̶.̶0̶-̶b̶l̶o̶b̶s̶.̶t̶g̶z̶
fp2-sibon-16.05.0-blobs.tgz: 3: fp2-sibon-16.05.0-blobs.tgz.1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Can anybody tell me where this comes from?

Edit: Okay I got it. Fairphone Team should update the build instructions on code.fairphone.com. It has to be:

sh fp2-sibon-16.05.0-blobs.sh

of course.

I really try to be and keep patient, but I slowly get sick that even following instructions and tutorials is running into errors

jftr · May 30, 2016, 1:55pm

Can you please give some more information on your build setup? Also, please let us know which instructions you were following exactly.

BTW: Did you know that there is an official release of the same code? If you don’t want to change any code, you can just download a build from code.fairphone.com.

xaxa · May 30, 2016, 4:28pm

First, thank you for your answer. Here is my environment:

Kubuntu 16.04 LTS
AMD64
openJDK7-amd64
gcc 4.8.5
binblobs: 16.05
repo init -b refs/tags/FP2-open-16.05.0
I followed the instructions found here and on code.fairphone.com

The only suspicious behaviour I have observed was that I have no writing permissions in my home directory, when opening a textfile through krusader (tried to edit ~/Fairphone_Open_OS/.repo/manifests/default.xml to remove Setupwizard) It didn’t work. Tried again through terminal with gksudo. It worked, but then repo denied service at all with an cryptic error message. I already deleted the whole tree and downloaded it again but the Linker-error persists.

And what you mention about downloading the official release. I would LOVE to do so, but I need working GPS with FPOSOS on my phone which was fixed only recently in 16.05. And code.fairphone.com doesn’t provide it yet.

Actually I do not understand that the blobs for 16.05 are available but no system release yet. How other may I use the binblobs but to compile my own version?

lklaus · May 30, 2016, 4:34pm

Well, there’s a problem if you can’t write in your home (or below). Did you do anything with sudo in your home before? This should be rectified…
