How to build it

   1 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   2 <manifest>
   3   <remote name="github" fetch="git://github.com" />
   4      
   5   <project path="device/samsung/i9300" name="Androguide/android_device_samsung_i9300" remote="github" revision="master"/>
   6   <project path="kernel/samsung/smdk4412" name="Androguide/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412" remote="github" revision="master"/>
   7   <project path="device/samsung/smdk4412-common" name="Androguide/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common" remote="github" revision="master"/>
   8   <project path="vendor/samsung" name="Androguide/android_vendor_samsung" remote="github" revision="master" />
   9   <project path="hardware/samsung" name="Ubuntu-i9100/android_hardware_samsung" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1"/>
  10 </manifest>
  • In a shell (ctrl+alt+T on Ubuntu), run the following commands:

   1 $ repo sync -jX #(where X is the number of simultaneous downloading tasks)
   2 $ . build/envsetup.sh
   3 $ lunch cm_i9300-userdebug
   4 $ mka bacon -jX
   5 #(where X is the number of CPU threads to use. Usually (number_of_cpu_cores * 2) + 1
   6 

Now your flashable .zip file should be in <croot>/out/target/product/i9100/cm-10.1-********-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip

You might want to run 'make clean' or 'make clobber' before 'mka bacon -jX' before recompiling in order to be certain that each new change gets built properly.
