This is an easy guide to cook your own CyanogenMod 9 for Ace. It is based on the official guide to Compile CyanogenMod from source on Ace.

Follow the guide. Steps that change a bit:

Install the Repository

repo init -u git://github.com/pidroid/android.git -b ics

Continue the guide normally omitting the step Download RomManager. Do this instead:

cd ~/android/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts

It will fetch RomManager and Term for you.

This should let you cook your own CM9 rom. You can find the latest Google Apps here. For example, this one.

In the orginal forum it says to install the build packages with the package manager of my choice and then gives you commands to type in. Where do I enter the commands? In the package manager? If so, could you send me a link to download a package manager?

When I try this it fails as the ics branch doesn't have the ace device. I used roomservice.py to add the device files but then it fails due to

Quote

build/core/product_config.mk:189: *** _nic.PRODUCTS.[[device/*/ace/cm.mk]]: "device/htc/common/common.mk" does not exist. Stop.

There doesn't seem to be a cyanogenmod github repo for htc_common :-(

This seems to be triggered from device/htc/ace/device.mk line 185,

# stuff common to all HTC phones
$(call inherit-product, device/htc/common/common.mk)

Any suggestions?

Update

I added the following lines to .repo/local_manifest.xml and so the build now starts.

  <project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_common" path="device/htc/common" revision="refs/heads/gingerbread"/>
  <project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm7x30-common" path="device/htc/msm7x30-common" remote="github" />

The build starts, but then stops due to

make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/htc/ace/proprietary/eglsubAndroid.so', needed by `out/target/product/ace/system/lib/egl/eglsubAndroid.so'. Stop.

After some more looking around I found that koush has a proprietary_htc repo, so I added the following line to .repo/local_manifest.xml

<project name="koush/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" />

This change fixes the missing library issue.
