  3. Add directory for the repo binary to its path

     PATH=~/bin:$PATH

     chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
     

  6. Creating directory for where the ROM repo will be stored and synced

     mkdir ~/AOSPK
     cd ~/AOSPK
     

• Preparing the ROM

  1. Make sure you have a build environment setup.
  2. Make a new directory, cd to it and run

     repo init -u https://github.com/AOSPK/manifest -b twelve
     

  3. Sync!

     repo sync -c -j$(nproc --all) --no-clone-bundle --no-tags --force-sync
     

• Preparing device

  1. Clone your tree repositories Example:

     git clone https://github.com/YourUser/device_xiaomi_beryllium -b twelve device/xiaomi/beryllium
     

  2. Move/copy your <ROM>.mk (Example: lineage.mk or lineage_beryllium.mk) file to aosp_beryllium.mk.
  3. Open this file and
     • Set PRODUCT_NAME to aosp_<device> (Example: aosp_beryllium)
     • For a Phone or tablet with a SIM Card, add

       # Inherit from aosp vendor
       $(call inherit-product, vendor/aosp/config/common_full_phone.mk)

       $(call inherit-product, vendor/aosp/config/common_full_tablet_wifionly.mk)
       

  4. Save and exit

• Building

  1. If you want to do it manually, run:

     . build/envsetup.sh
     lunch aosp_<device>-userdebug
     make -j$(nproc --all) bacon
     

     Example:

     . build/envsetup.sh
     lunch aosp_beryllium-userdebug
     make -j$(nproc --all) bacon
     

     For detailed logs, use:

     make -j$(nproc --all) bacon 2>&1 | tee log.txt
     

  2. This will start compiling the build.
  3. Resolve errors if any and continue building.
  4. Remember to make clobber && make clean every now and then!
