[GUIDE][HOW-TO][T819]Build your own LineageOS 15.1 for T819 - Galaxy Tab S2 General

Hello and welcome to my first try to write an HOW-TO, don't kill me for my epic skillz in that ^^
After a nice chat with @LuK1337 that weekend I was able to build my own LineageOS ROM for our beloved Tablet. It works very nice and thus I think it should be fine to pass my information over to you, but first:
If your tablet eats your cat after that, you are on YOUR OWN! It is NOT my fault and even less the fault of @LuK1337!!
What works:
- Everything the T813 LineageOS can do + working Vibration + LTE
What does not work:
- Phone audio
So, let's start:
First you have this nice howto for the T813: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts210vewifi/build which you follow down to and including the "Download the source code" step with two lil modifications:
Install the build packages -> I had to "apt-get install python-minimal", too to make it work on Ubuntu 17.10.
Initialize the LineageOS source repository -> Well, we don't want LOS 14.1, so the command we use here is:
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b staging/lineage-15.1
After you finished the repo sync, which takes AGES on slower internet connections, you really should follow two optional steps below:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts210vewifi/build#turn-on-caching-to-speed-up-build
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts210vewifi/build#configure-jack (Especially needed if you have not that much RAM. I did not wanna listen to @LuK1337 telling me that the build EATS RAM for breakfast, but it's true! You NEED more than 12 GB of RAM even with that setting!!)
Next one is the following lines:
Code:
mkdir -p ./.repo/local_manifests
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/72cb5jix08y9jkv/envsetup.sh?dl=1 -O ./picks
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fknl8w7zl6buz2/roomservice.xml?dl=1 -O ./.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml
chmod +x ./picks
repo sync
This loads the device specific stuff you will need now and prepares a step we need later.
Some useful and badly needed pickings from @LuK1337 are added when you next run this command:
Code:
./picks
Now once you are done:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true brunch gts210velte
In theory we now can go to bed and check for a result in $OUT after it finished build after about 6-10 hours. There waits a nice install ZIP for TWRP in there.
Flash on a T819 with FORMATTED and thus useable /data partition. This can and HAS TO be done in TWRP, too. If the file laments about a wrong bootloader, you should update your tablet to most recent official 7.0 firmware first!
Maybe this is a first start for ppl trying to tinker with T819 and add even more things to it, like Phone audio. At least is was a nice odyssey and the result I got was perfect. Have fun with your track down to the crazy self builders ^^
P.S. If you want GAPPS, load em here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-opengapps-8-1/
Wanna update? SURE ^^ But be sure your picks are the most recent above.
Code:
repo forall -c 'git am --abort ; git cherry-pick --abort ; git merge --abort ; git clean -fdx ; git reset --hard' ; repo sync -j30 --force-sync -f
./picks
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
rm -rf out ; ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true brunch gts210velte
Hello, new version ^^

Updates will be added here:
15.01.18:
If you have funny build problems indicating compiler suite problems... Update the platform tools. Fixes some funny problems with newer LOS builds.
And always be sure you have the most recent picks and roomservice.xml
14.01.18:
Still wanna tinker with your own build? I updated the manual making it waay smaller thx to recent changes.
08.01.18:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3732074
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3732070
Have fun, did go on LuK1337 and others nerves and this is the result. Don't expect a full featured ROM though. Calling is a bit silent when you don't hear ppl and they don't you ^^
25.12.17:
Updated the link to LuK1337's picks to a new one disabling stuff not working on new checkouts anymore. Source is LuK1337 again ^^
Completely removed the after build zip editing by modifying another file and keeping the line uncommented-out in BoardConfig.mk. This way the whole file correctly checks for the CORRECT bootloaders. This way the build.prop file in /system on the device is correct, too.
Added link to unofficial GAPPS for ppl who don't want to tinker inside GAPPS zip files.
Started some tinkering with RIL. Results up to now: ZIP file +30 MB aka LOS has all stuff built needed for telephony. Working? Naaah ^^

and where is the link to test the build

There is none. This is a manual how to make it yourself. If I ever manage to get RIL working... MAYBE I will upload one or two builds.

So you made your own build already? Working fine (except RIL)?

for now not working, build process without errors but the kernel will not boot the device (lineage 15.0 with other build tree) , new build is 8%

No need to build it at all. It is enough to just edit installer script. Change gts210wifi to gts20lte and delete assert for BL. It works perfect, I tried, I use it. And of courese to use newset twrp 3.2.

You know that we are talking about the NON Exynos devices, so you? so it is gts210VEwifi.
And even if it does, lucky you. I don't like the idea to use defconfigs for another device on my tablet.
EDIT: Current status regarding RIL... After hours with LuK1337 and his skills and code source juggling... Daemon runs, SIM detected, IMEI detected, network sorta... runs? This means SMS receiving runs and not much more for now. Still investigating.

Of courese, I forget ve to write, my lapsus. Otherwise it works perfect. They use same board.
But, if you make RIL there, it diffferent story. Every credit to you, if you need someone to test those builds I am here

Well, I would prefer someone knowing more of that stuff helping me to fix the remaining bugs. I even went down the pipe to try to disassemble the original libril.so but no big results from that... Right now you have all phone stuff included and thus for example can install WhatsApp again + GAPPS install the DialerFramework and Google Dialer. You get IMEI information, Baseband Information, SIM Phone Number Information and you can receive SMS, but no calling, no SMS sending and no data network works for now.
Current logcat: https://hastebin.com/iguvaxagas.xml

Thanks for hard work, I'll be very happy to have full oreo Los on tab s2!

Well I've been fiddling all day to get it to work, ubuntu 17.* have been removed from the main ubuntu site, and using the the cdimage.ubuntu locations gave me the install iso's but ended in not properly working install repos of the needed apps.
So went for 16.04 after several attempts, every installs fine, setted everything up according the tutorials in the OP and checking my old info for setting up ubuntu VM (or full pc's) what i did in the past, those where the same since my last succesfull setting up build machines.
but in the end I had to use a "repo sync -f --force-sync" instead of repo sync before ./picks, otherwise it ended up with a ton of errors in running ./picks.
After that that being running good, and finally comming to build I end up after 50 to 60 seconds in

Tried resetting up the build VM now 6 times to find anything I could've done wrong, but cant find any, just end up at the same manner with this error.
Also made sure that Jack is setup properly ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/aosp-cm-los-how-to-fix-jack-server-t3575179 ) and jack starts and stops, shouldn't that also solve the ninja problem? Soz my last home build was nearly 2 years ago and a lot could have been changed, but normally google is my friend to fix it, not this time..
Has anyone some advice what to look at?

I have removed in hardware/samsung/AdvancedDisplay/Android.mk the line org.cyanogenmod.platform.internal and the directory /hardware/samsung/AdvancedDisplay/src/com/cyanogenmod/. (LineageOS 15.0)

I have no clue what you did wrong or why you tinker with LOS 15 with a manual for 15.1, but... check post #2 and load your ROM from there.

That 15.0 was the person I quoted but that step was a test to see if it would hold further, but also then it ended up in errors and a crash of the build.
I did everything with copy pasting from the guide in OP and the linked pages, why it went wrong for me I still don't understand, have been making homebuilds since my Galaxy S2 and always got it to work.
But now you made the new LOS threads I will stick to that for now, and maybe try later again.
Thnx for your efforts and now the Unofficial support start for the T819!

Sure, but beware, we have now device repos for gts210velte and gts28velte ^^
So roomservicexml more should look like this now:

And brunch has to be started with that hw id, too:
Code:
ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true brunch gts210velte
Code:
ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true brunch gts28velte
Feel free to try it, if it works, tell me. Not much time these days.

Thnx!
Gonna give it a try in a few days when I have some free time.

[DEV] To Ubuntu Phone and Beyond

DEVS ONLY THAT EXCLUDES ROM MAKERS / USERS
Previous Info
so most of you must have heard about ubuntu touch. And a preview source of which was released. I got somr requests to build if for the 2011 line, but due to the numerous projects I have already I cant do it yet. Canconial did provide a guide to build which I sent to them, but they said it was too confusing etc. If a dev wants to build it, ill provide a simple enough guide where you have to do almost nothing except wait. If requested. *A user can too build it, but I cant solve everything so remember that.
Thank you for reading now onto the development
~emwno
It begins here.... To Ubuntu And Beyond!​
Currently got Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on my Note II built. So far Ubuntu touch based on cm-10.1
-- NOTE these git changes are only for IYOKAN and ANZU not for any other 2011 DEVICE. Ill push those changes later
Before you begin make sure you have:
Code:
64 bit build machine (pc/laptop)
64 bit Ubuntu
Brain
Basic knowledge about source code / directories
30 gigs of free space for source code / build
Patience for source code download / build
Now if you have those, we can continue. Firstly set up the build environment
Code:
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \ zip bzr curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \ libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \ libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \ python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386 schedtool
Then install the tools
Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
Time to get the source code. It needs patience (around 15-18 gigs)
Code:
phablet-dev-bootstrap -j 4 ubuntu-touch
Code:
cd ubuntu-touch
Now choose your Device and continue...​
Xperia Pro Specific
Time to grab the device specific repositories. Navigate to .repo/local_manifest.xml and add this.
(CTRL + H at home if not present)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If successful, your zip will be placed at out/target/product/{device code}. But just by flashing that you wont gain Ubuntu Touch. Additionally you will have to download the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip as well. Its the daily build of Ubuntu Touch directly from Canonical (Currently 12.10)
Instructions to flashing​
Code:
Flash kernel
Reboot in recovery
WIpe EVERYTHING (Data/System/Cache/Dalvik)
Install the zip you gained from [B]out/target/product/{device code}[/B]
Install the [B]quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip[/B]
Reboot
------------------------------------If it doesn’t boot up then------------------------------------
Code:
Connect phone to PC and in terminal:
adb root
adb shell (then the following commands)
ubuntu_chroot shell

don't worry dude Ubuntu developers has explained, their market strategy is create roms for old phones which are don't have official android update from their producers.
Okay, finally had the sources synced, so gave it my best shot while still following your guide for Iyokan.
I ran into an error while compiling, just thought I'd share it here:

do this, manually create a 'export_includes' file at the given directory. that should get you past that for sure. (if not work after build, can always use the lib from my cm10.1 build as ubuntu phone is based upon CM stripped off most of android)

[Q] syncing work tree error

hi guys,
I don't know if it is the good thread to post such question but i don't find any other thread related.
So, I got some problem syncing the omni repo. Whilst it was working fine since saturday last repo sync.
I dunno know how the happens. I actually felt into this error
Code:
Syncing work tree: 62% (260/418) error: revision android-4.4_r1 in platform/hardware/qcom/bt not found
I try to find some answer with my best friend goolgle but failed to grab one.
I checked the tree, files are there.
As far as i know this comes from roomservice.xml located into .repo/local_manifests.
It is advice to <!--Please do not manually edit this file-->
I'm searching some way to solved this issues (repo command or git? )as i m starting to translate some projects, i would not lost my already work done.
hope someone could point me to the right direction
thanks everyone

Well, looking at https://github.com/omnirom/android/blob/android-4.4/default.xml#L286 there is no android-4.4_r1. Not sure where it pulled that from. So try removing the _r1 so it just matches the android-4.4. Rather, you could try removing the line altogether since the default manifest already has that. What device are you trying to compile? If it's trying to pull that repo's branch (which doesn't exist) it needs to be fixed. But in the mean time, you should be able to remove the line and be good.

Hi PonsAsinorem,
thanks for your answer
The targeted device is nexus4. I just don't understand how this happens since i have already succesfully compile the firmware.
Latest compile was on 15/01/2014 and used to sync twice a week. I spotted that i could start learn commit on github by translation so...
i will delete the compromiting line into the roomservice.xml
hope

Ok, the mako's omni.dependencies was just changed (3 days ago). I'd also take a further look at your roomservice (or paste it in CODE tags here) to make sure you don't have any other offending lines.
https://github.com/omnirom/android_...3b880dc#diff-dfae556379c73dbe35de7e48b1ff5d81
okay, i have removed the offending line and repo sync successfully.
here is the original roomservice.xml (located into /.repo/local_manifests)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--Please do not manually edit this file-->
<manifest>
<project name="android_device_lge_mako" path="device/lge/mako" remote="omnirom" revision="android-4.4" />
<project name="android_kernel_lge_mako" path="kernel/lge/mako" remote="omnirom" revision="android-4.4" />
<project name="platform/hardware/qcom/bt" path="hardware/qcom/bt" remote="aosp" revision="android-4.4_r1" />
</manifest>
I just manually removed the last line and syncing work tree succeed.
i checked project.list, i had twice
Code:
hardware/qcom/bt
but since a removed the offending line and repo sync successfully the second one has gone.
thanks a lot for your support, i didn't dare editing this file.
Btw i saw someone on G+ commenting the same error while repo syncing is the link
as far as google driven my quest i spotted that, for some unknown reason to me, leads to the blob
https://github.com/android/platform_manifest/blob/android-4.4_r1/default.xml
anyway, now this seems fixed
Yeah. Here's a summary of what happened:
Months ago, someone decided to move a bunch of hardware repos out of the default manifest and into omni.dependencies. This was first done for mako.
Problem was, removing a repo from the default manifest and moving it into device dependencies is easier said than done - in many cases, people had entire work branches deleted without warning. So the hardware repos were put back into the default manifest, but not removed from mako's omni.dependencies (the latter was an accidental omission - we forgot). Thing is, at that point, it didn't break anything - as long as omni.dependencies and the default manifest were pointing to the same location it was OK.
The problem was that hardware/qcom/bt got forked from AOSP into Omni so we could make changes - then mako's omni.dependencies started causing weird breakage.
This shouldn't happen to anyone else, but anyone who did have their roomservice.xml corrupted will need to remove that one line manually.
I am posting cause topic is already here. Since yesterday it is forth time in a row now while I am trying to sync repo.
Two weeks ago it went without a glitch, I builded for mako with success. I am actually running this build now. Anyway, while syncing repo I got something like this at the "unexpected" end :
Code:
Syncing work tree: 5% (21/416) error: in `sync`: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/home/tytus/android/omni/device/generic/mini-emulator-mips/.git/HEAD'
error: manifest missing or unreadable -- please run init
I am building on Ubuntu 13.10, fresh install, bulding for mako as of now.

Are you sure you didn't run out of disk space at some point?
You have some sort of weird corruption in your tree.
Well, I did run out of space on previous Ubuntu installation, than I grab bigger drive and setup Ubuntu from scratch and setup building environment as well. Anyway after few more tries it went good. Thanks, every help is really appreciated as I am a bit of a newbie.

[GUIDE] How to compile SlimLP (for d802)

Hello,
as the title says I want to help people who want to compile SlimLP Beta 0.6 for d802 themselves. I am myself a newbie to this, but found somehow out to get it working and want to share my findings. This will likely work for most d8xx versions. I make special notes where I guess you need to do a change for your d8xx version if it's not a d802.
Requirements
you need to know how to use a terminal
64-bit Linux
8GB of memory (swap counts)
at least 100GB of free disk space
recommended is also the lp bootstack and Cloudyfa's Modem
I used a VirtualBox VM with 4GB of memory with 4GB of Swap and 3 CPU Cores. I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (x64). If you use a different system, you might want to read the sources of these instructions.
Side Note: If you use a VM,please use "fixed size" hard disk, because dynamic allocation may lead to segmentation faults later, that are hard to track. For exchange of data you can use a shared folder or Airdroid or the likes.
100GB is adviced for compiling a single device source. 150GB is for single device with CCache. 200GB+ is for CCache and multiple devices I'd say. CCache will not be explained here, but is explained in the initializing source. Just you know it exists and it accelerates rebuilds.
Setup tools
ctrl+alt+t (on Ubuntu) to open the terminal and type in:
Code:
$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
$sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
$sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make python-networkx zlib1g-dev:i386 zip
(the last command might be different on different OS versions see Source)
Setup and acquire the source
Code:
$mkdir ~/SlimLP
$cd ~/SlimLP
$repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b lp5.1
Open or create a file in ~/SlimLP/.repo/local_manifests/slim_manifest.xml (.repo is hidden)
And insert the following text:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="TheLoonyBin/proprietary_vendor_lge" path="vendor/lge" remote="github" revision="lp5.1"/>
<project name="SlimRoms/device_lge_d802" path="device/lge/d802" remote="github" revision="lp5.1" />
<project name="SlimRoms/device_lge_g2-common" path="device/lge/g2-common" remote="github" revision="lp5.1" />
<project name="SlimRoms/kernel_lge_msm8974" path="kernel/lge/msm8974" remote="github" revision="lp5.1" />
</manifest>
Now download source and blobs. This takes some time, so get you a beer and wait
Code:
$cd ~/SlimLP
$repo sync
(Source)
Note: You can ignore the error from repo init.
Note2: It downloads ~30GB (compressed, so actual size is way lower) and this process takes some time mostly depending on the download rate.
Note: If you want to compile for another manufacturer's device you might want to check TheLoonyBin. An alternative might be TheMuppets, that is used by CM afaik.
Prepare make
Code:
$cd ~/SlimLP
$. build/envsetup.sh
$lunch slim_d802-userdebug
Note: When you just use $lunch you see all available options
go to ~/SlimLP/kernel/lge/msm8974/arch/arm/configs
copy the name of the file (it's "slim_d802_defconfig" for d802)
open ~/SlimLP/device/lge/d802/BoardConfig.mk with a texteditor
replace "cyanogenmod_d802_defconfig" with "slim_d802_defconfig"
As of 13.09. it is no longer necessary to edit the BoardConfig.mk (see)
Make your own build with blackjack and hookers.
Code:
$cd ~/SlimLP
$make -j4 bacon
Note: -j specifies how many threads are used in the compiling process.
After a few hours depending on the memory, disk speed and CPU power you have your fresh SlimLP build. Have fun.

TheLoonyBin
Josue Rivera (he explained the procedure for SlimKat to someone here)
Kind Regards
NetDwarf
PS: Subsequent (updated) compiles are realized by:
Code:
$cd ~/SlimLP
$make clean
$repo sync
$. build/envsetup.sh
$lunch slim_d802-userdebug
$make -j4 bacon
Don't omit the point in the fourth line and this is the save way to do it, but you can usually omit make clean
Nice, thanks
Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing your hard work.

As I can say last days arcardinal and gmillz are working on updating the G2 repos. You sould also check the review site: https://review.slimroms.eu/ and do a repo sync.
@arcardinal @gmillz Why are these commits not merged yet to fix kernel defconfig?
for example d802

Good to hear. I will check reviews and repos and will update the guide accordingly.
One question, why do we do
Code:
make -j4 bacon
instead of
Code:
make -j4 d802
Shouldn't it be the second way?

Sry for the late answer. I don't exactly know what "bacon" means in this context, but it's not referring to the OnePlus One. Might be referring to BaCon (Basic Converter), but I'm really only guessing.
Nice guide. But I do have one recommendation. Add the vendor repo to the local_manifest so it is automatically updated when you repo sync to fetch latest sources. Also I'll get those 2 commits merged.

Thank you for the addition @gmillz. I added it to the guide

[HOW-TO] Building TWRP from source with goodies

I decided to put together a guide on how to build TWRP from source, having successfully built it myself and restored a few of the goodies that disappeared in the 3.3.1-0 release (e.g. install kernel). Also, marlin (Pixel XL) has had a few advancements over sailfish (Pixel), so this is a way to get back on par even if unofficially.
Whilst I'll go into a good level of detail, this will not be a hand-holding guide. You are expected to be able to use the Linux command line, and tools such as Git and repo.
Download sources
This guide is based upon building from the Minimal TWRP sources, which are based upon a subset of Omnirom. At the time of writing, the latest branch is twrp-9.0 (Pie). (If you are reading this some months after I have written this guide, check for later branches.) Follow this link for the repo, and the instructions:
https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_omni/tree/twrp-9.0
Firstly, create a folder to put this in, e.g. $HOME/twrp-minimal-omni, and change to that directory. Then execute the following for a shallow clone (to save space...):
Code:
repo init --depth=1 -u git://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_omni.git -b twrp-9.0
Before doing the repo sync, we will need a few extra repositories to be downloaded. Create a subfolder .repo/local_manifests and create an XML file (e.g. custom.xml) with the following content:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="android_device_google_marlin" path="device/google/marlin" remote="TeamWin" revision="android-9.0" />
<project path="hardware/qcom/bootctrl" name="platform/hardware/qcom/bootctrl" groups="pdk-qcom" remote="aosp" />
<project path="hardware/qcom/msm8998" name="platform/hardware/qcom/msm8998" groups="qcom_msm8998,pdk-qcom" remote="aosp" />
</manifest>
android_device_google_marlin - contains the configuration and build instructions for marlin and sailfish
hardware/qcom/bootctrl - this is part of AOSP, and is required for building TWRP
hardware/qcom/msm8998 - extra chipset stuff that is required for marlin/sailfish
You can do a repo sync now to download the sources.
Additionally, we will need some driver binaries that are available from Google. Get the Google (Qcom is not necessary) drivers for the latest Pie release here:
https://developers.google.com/android/drivers#sailfishpq3a.190801.002
Extract the files into the same folder as you created, and execute e.g as follows, and follow the prompts:
Code:
./extract-google_devices-sailfish.sh
The binaries will be extracted into a vendor/google-devices/ sub-folder. Do not rename the sub-folder - the configuration looks for exactly this path.
You now have all of the source files needed.
Do the build
We then more-or-less follow the instructions as per the original minimal manifest page:
Code:
export ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch omni_sailfish-eng
mka bootimage
The boot image will be created at out/target/product/sailfish/boot.img.
Use fastboot boot out/target/product/sailfish/boot.img to test it in fastboot mode on your device.
Hope this helps someone out there!

Building other recoveries - Orangefox
Orangefox
Quick guide for the impatient
Create a folder that will be your OrangeFox folder, and change into it. All commands below will be relative to this folder.
Code:
# Initialize the repo
repo init --depth=1 -u https://gitlab.com/OrangeFox/Manifest.git -b fox_9.0
# Create local manifests folder
mkdir .repo/local_manifests
# Create the local manifest for sailfish/marlin - use gedit, kate, leafpad, whatever your text editor is
gedit .repo/local_manifests/orangefox-marlin.xml
After the last command, the text editor window will open. Paste the following content into it.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote name="TeamWin" fetch="https://github.com/TeamWin" review="https://gerrit.twrp.me" />
<project name="external_magisk-prebuilt" path="external/magisk-prebuilt" remote="TeamWin" revision="master" />
<project name="android_device_google_marlin" path="device/google/marlin" remote="TeamWin" revision="android-9.0" />
<project path="hardware/qcom/bootctrl" name="platform/hardware/qcom/bootctrl" groups="pdk-qcom" remote="aosp" />
<project path="hardware/qcom/msm8998" name="platform/hardware/qcom/msm8998" groups="qcom_msm8998,pdk-qcom" remote="aosp" />
</manifest>
Then save and close the editor, and continue with the following commands.
Code:
# Sync the repos
repo sync -j8
Additionally, we will need some driver binaries that are available from Google. Get the Google (Qcom aren't necessary) drivers for the latest Pie release here:
https://developers.google.com/android/drivers#sailfishpq3a.190801.002
Extract the files into the same folder as you created, and execute as follows, and follow the prompts:
Code:
./extract-google_devices-sailfish.sh
The binaries will be extracted into a vendor/google-devices/ sub-folder. Do not rename the sub-folder - the configuration looks for exactly this path.
You now have all of the source files needed.
At the time of writing, there is a bug that prevents the FB2PNG module building (I think this is FrameBuffer2PNG - screenshots). Edit the file as below
Code:
# Edit sailfish config
gedit device/google/marlin/sailfish/BoardConfig.mk
# Edit marlin config
gedit device/google/marlin/marlin/BoardConfig.mk
Around line 204, change
Code:
TW_INCLUDE_FB2PNG := [U]true[/U]
to
Code:
TW_INCLUDE_FB2PNG := [U]false[/U]
Now continue to build as normal
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
export ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true
# For building sailfish use this line
lunch omni_sailfish-eng
# For building marlin use this line
lunch omni_marlin-eng
mka bootimage
NOTE: If you are building for sailfish, don't run the lunch omni_marlin-eng line. Also, you may get an error "Your device can't be found in device sources..". That's actually OK, it's just because there isn't a folder called device/google/sailfish. If the error bothers you, just create the folder and re-run the lunch command (and ignore the warning about device/google/sailfish/omni.dependencies file not found).
This will create a fastboot bootable image in the $OUT folder called boot.img. You can try booting it with your device in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot boot $OUT/boot.img
There are also a number of environment variables that OrangeFox has available. I haven't really tested whether or not they are necessary. Will update this post after I do some investigation.
Could you make twrp for marlin with support F2FS? I did but unsuccesed.

You will need to add a flag to the device/google/marlin/marlin/BoardConfig.mk file:
Code:
TARGET_USERIMAGES_USE_F2FS := true
Additionally, the kernel needs to support f2fs. No idea if the one that comes with the repos supports it, but you could always grab one from a kernel that does and try that.
I'll try doing a build later on, but you will have to test at your own risk.

I followed your guide but, I didn't know how to do "Create a subfolder .repo/local_manifests and create an XML file (e.g. custom.xml) with the following content:". So I downloaded manual. Then I do build recoveryimage, I still got error them same I posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=81384609#post81384609.
I didn't know why.

For the above, using the command line, from the folder you originally created you do this:
Code:
mkdir .repo/local_manifests
gedit .repo/local_manifests/custom.xml
If you don't have gedit, use e.g. kate, or whatever other text editor you have.
Also, you don't build a recovery image - you build a boot image.
Code:
mka bootimage
Anyway, I've updated the second post with a folder for Google Pixel XL as well. I'll upload there later (once AFH sorts itself out - I can't upload anything into the new folder yet).
For now, try using the build here (at your own risk):

tried this unofficial twrp for sailfish. it boots just fine as temporary recovery, when trying to install into ramDisk it acts as the official image, too large to fit the ramDisk

Yes, TWRP is now getting quite big and a lot of features would have to be removed to get it to fit into the ramdisk. This is something I've been spending some time on, but it seems to be a difficult ask at this point. I'll post if I ever get there...
I'm having some trouble with your guide. I am trying to compile not TWRP but orangefox recovery. I have the files and I will link them below. If you could either walk me through building orangefox or building it yourself, that would be amazing. I have a sailfish.

I've had a look at this, and I don't think it's as straight forward as merely dropping in in the TWRP sailfish device tree and building. It reports success when building, but it hasn't actually built anything...
I'd suggest you go to their Telegram chat for building OrangeFox: https://t.me/OrangeFoxBuilding

I meant that you could compress your /scripts folder and so I could try to build different versions for when it gets updated or when I need to fix a bug.
Thank you

I'll add a guide into the third post of this thread for it. It's a bit much trying to compress some 40GB of files. Best you use the guide and try to work out where things went wrong. Will update once its up.

Thank you, it worked.
Is it possible to merge this patch into your build? It should fix the issue when doing multi-user backup. Thanks.

[GUIDE/HOW-TO] Building LineageOS for an Unsupported Device

Foreword:
This is my own notes I created to build LOS for my device (SM-T713 or gts28vewifi). After reading this, I encourage you to create your own notes as it will help you better understand the build process.
I followed the official guide here with additional reading here since we are building this for a device no longer officially supported by LOS.
Requirements:
A fast CPU. How fast? All depends on how long you can wait for the build.
At least 16Gb RAM is a must.
Around 300Gb 50Gb disk space since at least 100Gb of it will be devoted to "ccache".
*nix system, mine is on Ubuntu so the commands below are Debian-based.
Step 1: Setup the environment.
sudo apt install -y bc bison build-essential ccache curl flex g++-multilib gcc-multilib git gnupg gperf imagemagick lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline-dev lib32z1-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libssl-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop pngcrush rsync schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev python-is-python3
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/lineage
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
cd ~/android/lineage
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-17.1
Step 2: Get the device manifest file.
local_manifests/gts28vewifi.xml at lineage-17.1 · team-infusion-developers/local_manifests
Contribute to team-infusion-developers/local_manifests development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
...and save to ~/android/lineage/.repo/local_manifests/gts28vewifi.xml
Then do:
repo sync
Step 3: Turn on caching to speed up build. Note that I used 300Gb instead of 100Gb (just personal preference).
mkdir ~/ccache
export CCACHE_DIR=~/ccache
export USE_CCACHE=1
export CCACHE_EXEC=/usr/bin/ccache
ccache -M 300G 50G
Step 4: Select Build.
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch
select lineageos_gts28vewifi-userdebug (whatever number it's identified under)
Step 5: Prepare the output:
make clean-apache-xml
make clean
make apache-xml
make ims-common
Step 6: Build it!
brunch gts28vewifi
Now go have a few coffees and come back later.
Epilogue:
I'm sure there are many different ways to build this but this method works for me. Just want to get the knowledge out so you can find a way that works for you.
@thisisludachris, I have been building roms for about 18 months now and can share that ccache is typically less than 10G per rom.
You can check by doing
ccache -s
Here is output from my machine building one rom.
Bash:
$ ccache -s
Summary:
Hits: 758742 / 837008 (90.65 %)
Direct: 693243 / 845272 (82.01 %)
Preprocessed: 65499 / 143805 (45.55 %)
Misses: 78266
Direct: 152029
Preprocessed: 78306
Uncacheable: 293976
Primary storage:
Hits: 1499615 / 1682320 (89.14 %)
Misses: 182705
Cache size (GB): 7.89 / 20.00 (39.45 %)
Also, it is possible to build a rom with less than 16GB DRAM if you apply these patches below. Obviously, the more the better, but I have use the patches below to build when I had less than 16GB DRAM.

Sorry but for me this step fails. The repo command doesn't seem to find the files from team infusion:
team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_team-infusion-developers:
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: Repository »https://github.com/team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_team-infusion-developers/« nicht gefunden
error: Cannot fetch team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_team-infusion-developers from https://github.com/team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_team-infusion-developers
Does the procedure still work for you?

It looks like whomever put up the manifest screwed up with cut and paste. It should probably be
Code:
<project name="team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_msm8976-common" path="device/samsung/msm8976-common" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1" />
otherwise all the common code won't get compiled and integrated into the rom.
Yes @retiredtab is correct, there is an incorrect entry in the manifest file from team-infusion-developers. Please update the correct line as pointed out. Thanks.
@paradroid28 I just went over to my build folder and pulled out my manifest file as per below if you want to copy & paste them:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="LineageOS/android_hardware_samsung" path="hardware/samsung" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1" />
<project name="LineageOS/android_hardware_sony_timekeep" path="hardware/sony/timekeep" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1" />
<project name="team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_gts28vewifi" path="device/samsung/gts28vewifi" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1" />
<project name="team-infusion-developers/android_device_samsung_msm8976-common" path="device/samsung/msm8976-common" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1" />
<project name="team-infusion-developers/android_kernel_samsung_msm8976" path="kernel/samsung/msm8976" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1" />

</manifest>

Thank you for your efforts. I compared your manifest against the one I downloaded -> they are identical. So I probably have made a different error. ATM i don't know where to look, but i admit, i do not speak "git" fluently. Last time i built an Android ROM successfully was probably 2016-ish , therefore i was very happy about your notes thisisludachris.
If you have another idea where i can have messed up, please let me know.

If you followed post #1 exactly, namely
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/lineage
# save manifest to
~/android/lineage/.repo/local_manifests/gts28vewifi.xml
check to make sure ~/android/lineage/.repo/local_manifests/gts28vewifi.xml is the correct file.
There should only be one .xml file in that directory otherwise the build system will try and parse it.
Another thing you can do is
Code:
cd ~/android/lineage/.repo
grep -iRl "android_device_samsung_team-infusion-developers"
to see where that statement is hiding from you.

Perhaps start with which step from above that you are stuck on. Also, if you want to post a screenshot of your error, perhaps I can try to help troubleshoot. Bear in mind though I have limited knowledge in codes and compiling but will try nonetheless.
For those on Windows OS, you can install Ubuntu via WSL2 with the following command run in PowerShell:
Code:
wsl.exe --install
More info here if you require more details on running Ubuntu in Windows.
I'd be interested to see how you go with compiling on Ubuntu via WSL2 in Windows OS

The step that fails is 'repo sync'. I Now deleted line 6 in the local manifest (which is generating the error because a certain repository is not found by my computer) and the sync command finished successfully .
Now i will try building it and see, if i am missing something vital.
Maybe you have a very smart computer which finds more repos than mine.
Good work @paradroid28, hope it went well.
@thisisludachris
@retiredtab
Well, i have to thank you again and to apologize, because at first i misread post #5. There lies the solution. So every file of the local manifests from team infusion is faulty atm and refers to a repo that does not exist.
With the corrected manifest i was able to successfully build a ROM for my gts28velte. It remains to be tested on the device.
You might update post #1 to give people following it, a hint, that there is a problem with the manifest and how it can be fixed.

@thisisludachris, @paradroid28, the next step for the 2 of you is to actually fix some the problems. I started just like you guys compiling what was given, but after a while, I learned how to fix the bugs and then take the next step and actually make the next Android version. I don't write code, but I copy working code from other repos (giving credit to original authors of course).
If you want guidance on how to do this, let me know.

yes please!
just bought a new POCO m4 pro 5g
never done that before but what the hell, might as well
any bit of guidance would be very much appreciated

that would be nice - would be good to try and get 18.1 on my Galaxy Tab TM-813 (gts210vewifi)
been a long time since built android, but would be fun to try and get back into it
On curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo, it gets stuck on this:

Ok few questions, what if your device is unofficial? what about the manifest? Also the guide differs if i want to build lineage 19.1?

It's the same steps whether it's official or unofficial.
Skorpion96 said:

That's something you need to build or use an existing one. If you're new to building, I suggest building a rom that is offiical for a device you have. That way, you will see the entire process start to end.

No. It's basically the same.
