I disliked the startup screen on supplied Android in NAND and some of the built-in apps. To change them, I like to re-build the Android image. I am following the instructions in A10S wiki under "A10S Android 4.2.2 SDK used to generate the Android image" section. (I can read Chinese ;D) and encountered some discrepancies.
To make certain that all USB settings matched the schematics, I examined the "sys_config1.fex" under directory lichee\tools\pack\chips\sun5i\configs\android\XXX\. None of them matched the schematics.
"Section 23 SPDIF support", however, A10S datasheet never mentioned SPDIF and the pins that were supposedly designated as SPDIF IN/OUT were marked as "/".
Has anyone tried to customize the android and succeed?
More discrepancies, in BoardConfig.mk under android\device\softwinner\elite-evb, the "# Wifi chipset select", I think it shall be "SW_BOARD_USR_WIFI := rtl8188eu" instead it is "SW_BOARD_USR_WIFI := usibm01a".
Does anyone know how to contact the author of A10S android image?
Next week I ll try to generates an android custom image on linux mint 13
After reading the instruction i customize my linux mint and install sun jdk1.6 and gcc 4.4. Otherwise it will fail ... did you try to generates a nand image ?
Yes. I tried to generate a custom Android image. One of the reason for this customer image is current image doesn't support USB wifi with RTL8191 chipset.
ok, i tried to generate image this night i've 2 questions
- the extract-bsp command generates some error concerning bImage files , is it normal ?
my bad , i forgot to install mkimage
- which plateform to use with lunch command ? (A10S board)
regards
I have the A10S-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB board. If you can share the configuration files that you used to generate the Android image that will be highly appreciated.
i bought the same card, so of course , i'll try and share result, using this thread , should be a good way
i'll try tomorow
I found the system configuration file for A10S-OLinXino-Micro at https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/blob/master/sys_config/a10s/a10s-olinuxino-m.fex. Will try to build the image this weekend.

i finished the android compilation , flash then try to boot and i get internal error on debug console during boot, so i'm interrest with your compilation result !

You went farther than me. I did "make -j8", got quite a few error message.
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aapt_intermediates/Package.o] Error 1
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aapt_intermediates/CrunchCache.o] Error 1
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aapt_intermediates/Command.o] Error 1
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aapt_intermediates/XMLNode.o] Error 1
Do you know why? I was not modify anything here, just tried the build process.
My process for getting to "make -j8" is as follows
------------------
1. Install compilation tools (Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits only)
$ sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
$ sudo apt-get install u-boot-tools liballegro4.2-dev
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev:i386 libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc readline-common libreadline6-dev libreadline6 lib32readline-gplv2-dev libncurses5-dev lib32readline5 lib32readline6 libreadline-dev libreadline6-dev:i386 libreadline6:i386 bzip2 libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 libghc-bzlib-dev lib32bz2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev squashfs-tools pngcrush schedtool libwxgtk2.8-dev python
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so
2. Change mod for all .sh files
$ find . -iname \*.sh | xargs chmod u+x
3. Linux kernel complilation
$ cd lichee
$ ./build.sh -p sun5i_elite -k 3.0
4. Android compilation
$ cd ../android
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch
"Pick a combo from pop-up screen, I pick 17 = elite-evb"
$ extract-bsp
$ make -j8
i use make -i -j8 to generate android , -i ignore error , not sure it's good idea :P
I repeat the build process on a fresh lubuntu 13.04. Got the same error message. :'( Strange!
OK. I found the problems.
The kernel built was successful. I could find bImage, uImage and zImage under lichee/android/out.
The Android built failed. It seemed the problem was in frameworks/base/tools/aapt. When compiling, I kept getting this warning message.
<command-line>:0:0: warning: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [enabled by default]
frameworks/base/tools/aapt/AaptAssets.cpp:1:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
then
I got no .o under out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/aapt_intermediates.
hi
yesterday i've found a solution for my "usi_bm01a" kernel panic , i solve it by modify the *.fex and desactivate the wifi component usi_bm01a and activate usb so now i progress into the linux boot up to what it seems to be a "pmu" kernel panic link to axp152 , i think there is a patch to apply to the kernel.
for your android image problem i use a linux mint 13 into virtual box machine , i downgrade the distro in order to install gcc & g++ and install sun java 6 http://samuelcroset.com/content/how-install-sun-java-6-linux-mint-13-0
it's slow, but it's ok , i obtain a img file compatible with livesuit
i read somwhere that a debian distro is better than ubuntu distro to compile
may be it can help
update , here is my serial log during android boot :

any idea of the cause ?
hi,
i'm still use my a10s with linux, i reinstall android but the app data is out of space so i try to modify the partition size
so i try to re compile android , using the last sdk, here is how i do that :
- download / install virtualbox
- install ubuntu 12.04 (it's a 4.x android), recommended here https://source.android.com/source/requirements.html
- install virtualbox guest addons and reboot
- do the things below
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
- then follow the final procedure here, https://source.android.com/source/initializing#installing-required-packages-ubuntu-1204
- i need to install java6sdk manually, , download jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin you'll need to register and then
chmod +x ./jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
./jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/java" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/javac" "javac" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/javac" 1
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/jar" "jar" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_34/bin/jar" 1
- the linux compilation tis ok ,
- the compilation process gives a lot of error
whant's wrong , can you explain the process to generate a android image ?
best regards
last update, i give up! :-[
i've found the tool imgrepacker to resize the "data" partition see abstract here http://linux-sunxi.org/LiveSuit_images#RedScorpio_tools on windows, the linux version unpack but fail to pack
- first unpack
imgRePacker.exe a10s_android_nand_HDMI_en_3.img
in the newly created directory a10s_android_nand_HDMI_en_3.img.dump, you must modify the sys_config.fex size_lo parameter , here the targetted size is 1.5Go
;------------------------------>nande, user data
[partition4]
class_name = DISK
name = data
size_hi = 0
size_lo = 1572864
user_type = 1
ro = 0
after that use imgrepacker,
imgRePacker.exe a10s_android_nand_HDMI_en_3.img.dump
the new image is named a10s_android_nand_HDMI_en_3.img the old one is a10s_android_nand_HDMI_en_3.img.bak
flash it using livesuit, that's it
