Compiling Android with mmm and make snod

Question

A complete AOSP build lasts approximately 5 hours on my laptop. Instead of running make after each change (just want to test some ideas...) I read that it is possible to do mmm frameworks/opt/telephony (or any other module) and run make snod afterwards.

Unfortunately this does not work for me. The emulator simply hangs during the boot while displaying the big Android letters.

Can someone give me a hint what is going on there and how to fix the problem?

It is about Android 5 on x86_64.

After mmm frameworks/opt/telephony, try running:

adb root
adb remount
adb sync system

This should only sync files you've built. Once it finishes, restart the runtime:

adb shell stop
adb shell start

Also there's `mmp` shortcut to push generated module to device – Mixaz Apr 19 '15 at 18:42
Mixaz, I don't see mmp available out of the box in AOSP. Is it cyanogen specific? – ejboy Jul 30 '15 at 23:54
ejboy, seems so, I heard that CM envsetup differs quite a bit from default AOSP one... – Mixaz Jul 31 '15 at 02:27
