Build Android AOSP system.img from changed framework.jar
android, android-source, build-process
Solution
As you note above you can `make snod` to just make the system image without dependencies.
You can `make out/target/product/your-device/system.img` which I believe will build a system image plus its dependencies, but nothing else.
Just `make` probably won't do what you want, because the Android build system will build everything, even stuff which isn't a dependency - it builds all the other packages just in case they are broken by changes to the APIs.
Problem
I'm trying to change something in `android.webkit` files in the android platform framework, and then use ``` mmm frameworks/base ``` to build this into the `framework.jar` file. How do I build the `system.img` file so that this jar file gets linked? Also, without having to build the whole system.
