Hi,
I try to build halium 9 for Sony xperia xz1 compact codname "lilac".
It was shipped with android 8 then updated to 9. It has quiet good support on XDA I mean repositories, device tree, vendor.
I'm just passionate not experienced dev, but I'm determined and I like learning :).
My building machine is (fortunately, only for some time) xubuntu 18.04 12GB ram, 12GB SWAP HDD 1tb, intel i5-5200u 4 threads. then something 2 times better when I'll finish my PC.
I visited XDA for custom roms building guides, Lineage site and the halium, ubports porting guide but then redirected here and here
Here are needed device configuration, branch lineage-16 (Note that the manifest is slightly different, but it's explained in only one issue in this repository)
My steps:
Previously - Built AOSP 11 using sony guide - learned how basic tools and repo work
Previously - Building crDroid based on android 10 - learned what are manifest, device tree, kernel, vendor etc.
Now - Building Halium 9 - learned what is project treble, GSI
Step 1 - repo init -u https://github.com/Halium/android -b halium-9.0 note that --depth=1 didn't work for me
Step 2 - repo sync
Step 3 - added local manifest in <deviceroot>/.repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml and repo sync
<manifest>
<!-- SONY -->
<project name="whatawurst/android_kernel_sony_msm8998" path="kernel/sony/msm8998" remote="github"/>
<project name="whatawurst/android_device_sony_common-treble" path="device/sony/common-treble" remote="github"/>
<project name="whatawurst/android_device_sony_yoshino" path="device/sony/yoshino" remote="github"/>
<project name="whatawurst/android_device_sony_lilac" path="device/sony/lilac" remote="github"/>
<!-- Pinned blobs for lilac -->
<project name="whatawurst/android_vendor_sony_lilac" path="vendor/sony/lilac" remote="github"/>
</manifest>
Step 4 - Applied patches by running cd <deviceroot>/hybris-patches then . apply-patches.sh output here with one warning
Step 5 - Here I stopped...
Make your device tree inherit from halium.mk (...):
Ok , I understood that I need to change my <deviceroot>/device/sony/lilac/lineage_lilac.mk
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/core_64_bit.mk)
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/full_base_telephony.mk)
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/languages_full.mk)
# Inherit device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/sony/lilac/device.mk)
### LINEAGE
$(call inherit-product, vendor/lineage/config/common_full_phone.mk)
to
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/core_64_bit.mk)
# $(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/full_base_telephony.mk)
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/halium.mk)
$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/languages_full.mk)
# Inherit device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/sony/lilac/device.mk)
### LINEAGE
# $(call inherit-product, vendor/lineage/config/common_full_phone.mk)
Changes: commented full_base_telephony.mk and lineageOS stuff added halium.mk instead
Unfortunately I have no idea what to do with: "remove Java-dependent parts" what is that file, where is it located?
I know I need to learn muuuch more, could you help my find some guides, documentation related to this. What statement should I search for?
Thanks in advance!
