After a quick re-run of compiling OmniRom for my Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile variant (JFLTETMO SGH-M919), I ran into another issue:
[CODE]
including ./hardware/qcom/display/Android.mk …

Here the problem is that liblight is already defined in the hardware settings for qcom (which is what is at the heart of the SGH-M919), and it conflicts with the device liblights definition. The compiler is confused because there can only be one definition or object. So, to make ammends, I edited device/samsung/jf-common/liblights/Android.mk and commented out all of the lines, like so:
[CODE]
#WJH LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
# HAL module implemenation stored in
# hw/<COPYPIX_HARDWARE_MODULE_ID>.<ro.board.platform>.so
#WJH include $(CLEAR_VARS)
#WJH LOCAL_SRC_FILES := lights.c
#WJH LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_OUT_SHARED_LIBRARIES)/hw
#WJH LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := liblog
#WJH LOCAL_MODULE := lights.msm8960
#WJH LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
#WJH include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
[/CODE]
I try to always insert my initials when I do an edit, so I can easily find my personal edits later. A quick word search for my own initials makes finding my changes an easy task. In this case it is important, because I may need to comment out the hardware liblights and keep the device liblights definition if that function doesn’t work in the rom. I typically try to edit or comment out the device tree changes first, before messing with the source code, to keep the source code “clean”. This way, if those code changes work, I can copy this tree to another source to build it as well, provided they work. Let’s give it another run and see what happens.
