This is the Android device configuration for Xperia S.
To setup a tree and build images for the device do the following:
repo init
as described by Google over at:
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
Put the following snippet in .repo/local_manifests/lt26.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="sony" fetch="git://github.com/sonyxperiadev/" />
<project path="device/sony/lt26" name="device-sony-lt26" remote="sony" revision="master" />
<project path="vendor/sony/dash" name="DASH" groups="device" revision="master" remote="sony" />
<remove-project name="platform/hardware/invensense" />
</manifest>
Download the zip file with vendor binaries from: http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/android-open-source-project-for-xperia-devices/
In the root of your Android code tree unzip the SW_binaries_for_Xperia_S_v1.tar.zip
.
You should now have a directory named vendor/sony/lt26
in your tree.
Unfortunately the vendor binaries needs a couple of patches to be compatible with
AOSP. Apply the patches by running the apply_patch
tool in the root of your Android code
tree.
repo sync
source ./build/envsetup.sh
./device/sony/lt26/apply_patches
lunch full_lt26-userdebug
make
To flash the images produced make sure your device is unlocked, as described on http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
Enter fastboot mode on the device by pressing volume up while inserting the USB
cable or execute adb reboot bootloader
.
fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/lt26/userdata.img
fastboot flashall
Reflashing userdata is not necessary every time, but incompatibilities with previous content might result in a device that doesn't boot. If this happens try to reflash just the userdata again.
