– see previous post.

– create build workspace

mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system

– install repo tools

curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo 
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

– download source

cd ~/android/system/ 
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread 
repo sync -j16

– copy proprietary files

  NOTE: This only needs done the first time you build. If you have already done these steps, you may skip to Download RomManager. 

You will need to have a shadow with a working copy of CyanogenMod install and ADB working on the computer. This script will copy the proprietary files from the device.

Connect the device to the computer and ensure that ADB is working properly.

cd ~/android/system/device/motorola/shadow/ 
./extract-files.sh

      NOTE: If some hardware isn't working, like camcorder or FM radio, you will need to find the updated prop blobs. 

– download RomManager and google files

  NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod. 

Download RomManager which is needed by the build:

~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager 

– update source

cd ~/android/system/ 
repo sync

– configure env. (for the Shadow) == source build/envsetup.sh. this script will create 'brunch'.

cd ~/android/system/
source build/envsetup.sh
./brunch crespo

– install

 1. Copy your .zip file from ~/android/system/out/target/product/shadow/update.cm-XXXXX-signed.zip to the root of the SD card.

        Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the root of the SD card. 

 2. Flash both of these .zip files from recovery.
