Add apps to system.img
Ne0
Android. Though when i load the system.img to my phone (or emulator)
many of the apps are missing, can any one tell me why this is and how
to get them added to system.img?
Thanks.

In build/target/product you will find a number of .mk files that define different Android configurations. Not all applications appear in all configurations, so which ones you get will depend on what configuration you build (by default, "generic"). You can select a different configuration to build, or modify the set of applications included in a configuration by editing the relevant file.

I am building for the android dev1 phone (dream).
I have edited the htc_dream.mk (not in the directory you mentioned
above) and added the missing packages
AlarmClock \
AlarmProvider \
Calendar \
Camera \
DrmProvider \
LatinIME \
Mms \
Music \
Settings \
Sync \
Updater \
CalendarProvider \
SubscribedFeedsProvider \
SyncProvider
Just building now. When i add my own app to the build i will have to
figure out how to get it to build, editing various scripts/.mk's i
assume. Do you have any pointers on where i might start to look? or a
how to would be even better if you know of one!!?!! ;-)
Thanks Liam.

Probably they are the "google experience" apps, and you get those buy
paying a ton of money to google. ("Android" market, for example.
Gmail. Calendar...)
Do you actually know they cost money, or are you just making things up?

ISTR the presentation talked about "levels of investment" or some such.

some way AOSP porters and devs can get access then it'd be good to
hear about - that info is totally lacking right now.

are, not surprisingly, not included in the Android open source
project, however if you get any phone, G1, Dev phone etc then they are
included on the phone so they are effectively free!
Does anyone have any advice about building apps with the code?
Cheers,
Liam

Stealing them off an image doesn't make them free. (Iphone google apps
are free. BB google apps are free. Symbian/Nokia google apps are free.
J2ME google apps are free. Android google apps are most definitely not
free, any more than windows is free because it comes on your PC. And
feel free - no pun intended - to substitute "unencumbered" for "free"
above, if it makes you feel better.)

The way I got started was to choose a simple application already in the build (AlarmClock) and see where that got mentioned in the various .mk files. It turned out it was just in the target/product directory I pointed you at. Adding your application there should be all that you need to do to get it included in the build. (Well, assuming you haven't set LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS in your Android.mk file to something that causes it to be left out of the particular configuration you're building... :) )
