I’ve noticed a pattern. Other than CM13, all of my 6.0+ roms compile successfully (eventually) but fail to actually run on the device. I am really not sure why this is, so I’ve been doing some research. One of the things that seems ambiguous to me, is which version of Java to use. According to the AOSP “setting up the build environment” page, MM and LP will/should build with OpenJDK7. However, it also states that the current branch, which is still 6.0, or MM, requires OpenJDK8. So, I downloaded and installed OpenJDK8. Then I re-compiled SlimRoms 6.0. As you can see, it was still successful when building:

[CODE]
using prebuilt boot.img from BOOTABLE_IMAGES…
boot size (6846464) is 65.29% of limit (10485760)

done.

However, it didn’t have any affect on functionality. The build was successful, but the operational test was a fail. I am not quite sure where to go with this just yet, since there are not any build errors, but I’ll keep plugging away at it. Next on my list is changing the tool chain for the kernel from arm-eabi to linaro, but I somehow doubt that is it. Then again, I am in personally uncharted waters right now.

Linux – Keep it simple.
