hmm...all good except repo doesnt seem to work with
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
but it does with
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
from http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

instructions are right on the aokp platform manifest page-

Init repo only for a particular device :
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr2 -g all,-notdefault,<devicename>,<vendorname>

for example, to init only trees needed to build mako :
$ repo init -u https://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr2 -g all,-notdefault,mako,lge
