Just a simple note about what I have did for building my won Android ROM for my Nexus One

get repo utility from below link

http://source.android.com/download/using-repo

Then run
repo init -u git://github.com/cyanogen/android.git -b eclair
repo sync

Create a file buildspec.mk with those contents(for Nexus One)
TARGET_PRODUCT:=cyanogen_passion TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT:=eng TARGET_BUILD_TYPE:=release

Run the command to setup you environment
. build/envsetup.sh

To specifically configure the build system for CyanogenMod
lunch cyanogen_passion-eng

Connect you Nexus One with USB and open debug mode to retrieve proprietary library from cell phone
(cd vendor/google/passion;./extract-files.sh)

make -j4

Convert video to play on Nexus One(Android)

I’m trying to use eclipse to write a hello android program, but encountered a problem while installing ADT plugin for eclipse.

The following is the solution and from this bug report, the problem is fixed in eclipse (3.5.1+repack~3-0ubuntu1).

1. Open eclipse and Help -> Install New Software…
Add http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/ to the update sites list
Using the filter to filter out WST and install it.

2. Restart eclipse, Help -> Install New Software…
and install the Android ADT as described on the android website.

3. Window -> Preference -> Android
SDK Location – given the correct location of the Android SDK.

4. File -> New -> Project
Android -> Android Project – Enjoy.
