Configure ssh keys:
Download ssh.zip

$ unzip ssh.zip
$ cd ssh
$ cp .ssh ~/.ssh

Download, Compile and Run AOSP (ASM's used version):

$ git config --global user.email "aaa@bbb.com"
$ git config --global user.name "AAA BBB"
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.4_r1.2
$ repo sync

(time for a coffee break)

$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch 1
$ make -j8

(time to take a nap)

$ emulator

Checkout ASM source code:

$ git clone -b asm_project_release_r1 gitolite3@git.androidsecuritymodules.org:asm/manifests
$ mkdir .repo/local_manifests
$ cp manifests/local_manifest.xml .repo/local_manifests/
$ repo sync

Build ASM kernel (for x86 emulator):

$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch 2
$ cd kernel/goldfish
$ ARCH=x86 make -j8 goldfish_defconfig
$ ARCH=x86 make -j8
$ cd ../..

Build ASM (for x86 emulator):

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch aosp_x86-eng
$ make -j8

Install Android Studio (not a good way to do it, install through http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html):

$ apt-add-repository ppa:paolorotolo/android-studio
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install android-studio
$ export ANDROID_HOME=~/Android/
$ PATH=~${PATH}:~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/
$ PATH=~${PATH}:~/Android/Sdk/tools/

Install API 19 through SDK Manager

Run ASM (on emulator):
Create an sdcard image (found error “command not found” when running mksdcard, so went to sdk/tools/ created the image and moved it to the project directory, but this was done before exporting Android to PATH):

$ mksdcard 512M sdcard.img
$ emulator-x86 -kernel kernel/goldfish/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -sdcard sdcard.img -wipe-data -gpu off -qemu -show-kernel -enable-kvm -usbdevice keyboard

Send APK file to emulator (à pata):

$ mv ASM.apk ~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/
$ adb install [path]ASM.apk

Run the “Hello World” ASM app on emulator (automatically):

$ cp out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/android_stubs_current_intermediates/classes.jar ~/Android/Sdk/platforms/android-19/android.jar

Download demoasm.zip
Unzip demoasm.zip
Open Android Studio
Open an existing Android Studio Project
Tools → Android → Sync Project with Gradle files

$ emulator-x86 -kernel kernel/goldfish/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -sdcard sdcard.img -wipe-data -gpu off -qemu -show-kernel -enable-kvm -usbdevice keyboard

Run
Check the app's hooks' work with logcat on Android Studio
