# Known Issues #

Even with our best care, small problems sometimes slip in. This page keeps
track of the known issues around using the Android source code.

## Missing CTS Native XML Generator ##

**Symptom**: On some builds of IceCreamSandwich and later, the following
warning is printed early during the build:
`/bin/bash: line 0: cd: cts/tools/cts-native-xml-generator/src/res: No
such file or directory`

**Cause**: Some makefile references that path, which doesn't exist.

**Fix**: None. This is a harmless warning.

## Black Gingerbread Emulator ##

**Symptom**: The emulator built directly from the gingerbread branch
doesn't start and stays stuck on a black screen.

**Cause**: The gingerbread branch uses version R7 of the emulator,
which doesn't have all the features necessary to run recent versions
of gingerbread.

**Fix**: Use version R12 of the emulator, and a newer kernel that matches
those tools. No need to do a clean build.

    $ repo forall external/qemu -c git checkout aosp/tools_r12
    $ make
    $ emulator -kernel prebuilt/android-arm/kernel/kernel-qemu-armv7
