Re: Building custom ROM for Nexus 7

[Jean-Baptiste Queru]

You'll probably find it easier to duplicate full_grouper.mk, make your
variant inherit from generic.mk instead of full_base_telephony.mk, and
add the packages you want.

Thanks JBQ!

So I made it device/myvendor/myproduct/ and copied the full_grouper.mk into it and changed some stuff.

Should I be placing my app INSIDE the device/myvendor/myproduct/apps/ folder or in the root folder where all the other packages (such as Launcher2.apk) live? 

I know I should use LOCAL_OVERRIDEN_MODULE to override a package.

Still learning but this is fun!

You can put your source code just about anywhere. The build system
does a recursive filesystem search for Android.mk (but doesn't search
in depth beyond any existing Android.mk).
