I am trying to port Ubuntu Touch to the Lenovo TB-X505F, but there isn't an official port of Lineage OS in GitHub, but there is an unofficial one made by TBX505-Dev right here: https://github.com/TBX505-Dev/device_lenovo_X505L

I tried hooking it up to my build environment using this XML config:

<manifest>
	<project name="TBX505-Dev/device_lenovo_X505L" path="device/lenovo/X505F" remote="github" revision="lineage-17.1"/>
</manifest>

and also this one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
	<project path="device/lenovo/x505f" name="device_lenovo_X505L" remote="device_lenovo_X505L" revision="lineage-17.1" />
	<remote name="device_lenovo_X505L"
    fetch="https://github.com/TBX505-Dev"
    revision="lineage-17.1" />
</manifest>

Everything works fine with both of the XML files until I try to run the breakfast command with my devices code name (X505F), which results in this error:

including vendor/lineage/vendorsetup.sh
build/make/core/product_config.mk:234: error: Can not locate config makefile for product "lineage_X505F".

** Don't have a product spec for: 'lineage_X505F'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?

When I try to run brunch without a device codename specified, and select lineage_arm64-userdebug, I get the error

ninja: error: '/home/user/halium/out/soong/host/linux-x86/bin/d8', needed by '/home/user/halium/out/soong/.intermediates/frameworks/base/packages/EasterEgg/EasterEgg/android_common/dex/EasterEgg.jar', missing and no known rule to make it

Breakfast says something about roomservice.xml, but I can't seem to find that file anywhere. Also, sidenote, lenovo hasn't provided the source code for the kernel for the Lenovo TB-X505F, so the Lineage OS port by TBX505-Dev uses the already compiled kernel.

Is there a way to fix these errors, and if so, how?

@redmiguy3 Thank you! I have tried porting postmarketOS to this device too, but the kernel I used is broken. I don't have the files for the port anymore, but I will restart development and try to port this device.
