How to build an Android and OLPC OS dual-boot image for XO-4.

set up a build environment, see Initializing a Build Environment,
install Repo, by following only the Installing Repo section of the Downloading the Source guide,
use Repo to download the Android source from OLPC repositories,

$ repo init -u git://dev.laptop.org/users/ben/android_manifest -b android-4.3.1-xo4
$ repo sync

go to #Source code see what patches are applied to which repository and check source code before start the build.

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch 14
$ make installclean && make -j8

install the android-tools-fsutils package or ensure you have simg2img tools in your /usr/bin/ simg2img
create zd file:

$ cd vendor/olpc/xo4/mkzd
$ ./mkzd.sh

ensure you have a copy of the OLPC OS Linux, Sugar and Gnome build file, e.g. 32013o4.zd,

$ cd vendor/olpc/xo4/sugar-combiner
$ ./mkzd.sh

To merge an already published Android build with an already published OLPC OS derived build:

download the system.img, ramdisk.img, and kernel files from the Android build directory,
download the build derived from OLPC OS, e.g. 32013xx4.zd or 4_0b125.zd,
download the mkzd.sh tool, and edit it to match file names,
run mkzd.sh

source code for building Android is a combination of 4 parts.

You can also download kernel image form device/olpc/xo4-kernel git repository if you don't want to change kernel

source code from google AOSP project branch "android-4.3.1_r1". "Downloading the Source" guide
OLPC patches for AOSP project.
