Do a 'git status' in the directory you are concerned with. This will give you the list of files that have changed. Then you can do:  'git diff filename.java > changes.patch' This creates the patch file!

Before your images run successfully, y ou need to import the proprietary drivers. So if you want to compile gingerbread and let’s say you need to run it on a Nexus 1, you need to take an original Nexus 1 with gingerbread and import the drivers.  To do this connect the original Nexus One to your build machine and run “ /device/htc/passion/extract-files.sh. If you dont have a device with you, drivers can be downloaded as well. Go to  https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers  and grab the tar files from there. Untar them in the root folder of your android source and run all of them. This should create a vendor folder with the device you need.
