Hi, I am new to the entire developing community, and so I apologize in advanced for my noobish question. So I am building CM 12.1 for the Galaxy Avant for learning purposes and to use a stable lollipop rom as my daily driver. I have been following a tutorial to build the software, but I am stuck on the "lunch" part of the tutorial. Every time I try to "lunch" my device, I receive the following error:
build/core/product_config.mk:234: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "afyonltetmo". Stop.
Device afyonltetmo not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (h tt p://github. com /CyanogenMod).
Repository for afyonltetmo not found in the CyanogenMod Github repository list. If this is in error, you may need to manually add it to your local_manifests/roomservice.xml.
build/core/product_config.mk:234: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "afyonltetmo". Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'afyonltetmo'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
What do I do?????? Can someone give me a detailed explanation on what to do and how? Please help. And again, sorry for the noobish question.
So I have been at my wits end the last couple days trying to figure out exactly what's going on. I have a BLU Life One 2015, (X011Q) which is unsupported on basically every custom ROM/recovery/whatever. There is no repo for it on github, (except my own, which I'm having trouble with, and is the point of this post) no released device tree (if I'm using the right word), the only source code released for it is for the kernel on Android 4.4.4.
This far, I've extracted the required files from the boot.img (I also have the recovery.img and build.prop) using a guide I found on XDA University to build CWM out of the cyanogenmod source code. (I can't post the link to this guide, unfortunately, because I'm too new a user)
Everything in that tutorial goes fine (though it might be worth noting i have to use obbtool instead of otatools) until I get to the point where I have to run "lunch full_’device_name-eng" (For me, this is: lunch full_BLU_LIFE_ONE-eng). When I do, I run into this:
Code:
build/core/product_config.mk:245: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "full_BLU_LIFE_ONE". Stop.
Device BLU_LIFE_ONE not found. Attempting to retrieve device repository from CyanogenMod Github (http //github.com/CyanogenMod).
Repository for BLU_LIFE_ONE not found in the CyanogenMod Github repository list. If this is in error, you may need to manually add it to your local_manifests/roomservice.xml.
build/core/product_config.mk:245: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "full_BLU_LIFE_ONE". Stop.
build/core/product_config.mk:245: *** Can not locate config makefile for product "full_BLU_LIFE_ONE". Stop.
** Don't have a product spec for: 'full_BLU_LIFE_ONE'
** Do you have the right repo manifest?
In case this is helpful:
From build.prop
Code:
ro.product.brand=BLU
ro.product.device=BLU_LIFE_ONE
Files that were extracted with mkvendor.sh:
Code:
AndroidBoard.mk
AndroidProducts.mk
BoardConfig.mk
cm.mk
device_BLU_LIFE_ONE.mk
kernel
recovery.fstab
system.prop
My main thought is that I'm lacking a device tree, but after searching for others, I wonder what else would be in one, and if the files I've got don't constitute some part of the device tree.
TL;DR
Do I need to create a device tree myself for a device that has no support yet whatsoever for any kind of custom ROM/Recovery? And if so, how?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Hello all and welcome to my first how-to guide
I began the process of learning about ROM about 4 months ago (so excuse this post if there are any inaccuracies and please feel free to correct me in the comments - I will absolutely update this post to ensure it has the best information)
Whilst I was trying to learn, I noticed there was a lack of information regarding how the actual build process works. Many roms will provide instructions allowing you to build your own unofficial version for one of their official devices, but very rarely do they inform you as to how you may do this for a device not officially supported.
This is what I shall try and explain here.
Building for a newer version of android is another challenge, so this guide will focus on building an unsupported rom from device sources that support the same version of android (e.g building Lineage oreo from AOSCP oreo sources etc)
Requirements
A relatively fast PC with a least 4 cores (less may work but it will take a long time)
At least 8GB ram
A swap-file set up in the event that your ram is fully filled
A significant amount of storage (each build can take 150-200GB)
Set up your PC for building
Firstly, allocate Jack enough memory to complete the build process by running
Code:
export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx4G"
And adding that line to your ~/.bashrc file
Also (optional) enable ccache by running
Code:
export USE_CCACHE=1
and adding that to your ~/.bashrc
If you choose to use ccache, also allocate a set amount of memory to use with
Code:
ccache -M $G
Where $ is a value of your choice between 50 and 100
First things first, we need to download the main source code for the target rom
Firstly you need to sync the sources from the manifest of your chosen rom. This will normally be called android, or manifest (or something similar) and will contain some xml files layed out like the example local manifest below
Find this repo and copy the link. Then move to the location you wish the entire android code to be stored, and then perform the following command
Code:
repo init -u <url of manifest repo>.git -b <branch you want to build>
e.g. for lineage 15.1 it would be
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-15.1
Finally, run "repo sync" to download the source code. It is very large (approximately 30GB) so it will take a while. Should you need to cancel this, a simple CTRL+C will stop it, and it will continue from where it stopped next time you run repo sync
Now we need to understand which components we need to build a custom rom.
We need (anything inside the <> needs to be replaced with relevant information for your device)
A device tree. This contains all the information needed to configure the rom build to your device's needs. Often this comes as more than one repo (one for your exact device and one for the general model - e.g. for my LG G4 H815, we have the h815 repo and the g4-common repo). The format for these repos is generally android_device_<vendor>_<device model>
A kernel. This contains all the drivers and more needed for your device to be able to run Android. Often these are named using your device's chipset name and follow the format android_kernel_<vendor>_<chipset>, although occasionally they can use your model name instead of the chipset.
Proprietary blobs. These are the closed source blobs that come bundled in your OEM software and contain the non-OSS (open source software) drivers for your device. They normally come in a repo labeled proprietary_vendor_<vendor> which normally contains blobs for all the devices released by that vendor (that are supported).
Any other repos specified by the dependencies file (more on that later)
All of the above repos go into the path specified in the name - for example, android_device_<vendor>_<device model> will go into the device/<vendor>/<device model> directory.
To sync these, you should create a local manifest in the <android source>/.repo/local_manifests/ folder. Name it anything you like (make sure it's an xml file) and fill it out like so
Code:
<manifest>
<remote name="<your chosen name for this url>"
fetch="<url to your git organisation>"
revision="<branch if different to the one used in repo init (otherwise, miss out revision)>"
<project name="<name of repo inside git org>" path="<destination of the repo>" remote="<remote name chosen earlier>" revision="<revision if different to one specified above>" />
</manifest>
After adding this manifest, re-run repo sync to pull the extra repos
Understanding the device tree.
Inside the device tree (model specific one if there are more than one) there will be a file with a naming scheme along the lines of <rom brand>.mk (e.g. lineage.mk). This is the starting file for your device and is detected when you begin a build for your device. (Pie roms are currently using AndroidProducts.mk as a placeholder containing a link to this file). It contains links to the common configuration of your device (phone, tablet etc) at the top, and also specifies the name of the product (normally <rom>_<device model>) which is part of the command used to build the device.
There will also be some build prop overrides - these contain information like the device name and the build fingerprint (used to verify to google what device you are - lots of devices leave this as the last stock fingerprint to pass google CTS)
In most device trees, there will also be a <rom>.dependencies file. This contains all the additional repos needed to build for your particular device. This file is parsed automatically if you use the official methods and use the breakfast command. If you do it manually, they must be added to a local manifest.
The <device model>.mk file is what defines what open source packages need to be built in the build. Devices either include everything in this file or they can link to a product folder in which every .mk file is included.
BoardConfig(Common).mk includes configuration options for the device, and often links to config files to inform the builder of certain flags that need to be applied for the build. Similarly to the <device model>.mk, this is often linked to a board folder containing configurations
The kernel
The kernel is a massive topic and one that I cannot explain in depth here. However, for rom building it is useful to know that the defconfigs used to build a kernel are located in kernel/<chipset/device model>/arch/<arm or arm64 depending on device>/configs and the one used is normally in the format <rom>_<device model>_defconfig (e.g my lineage one is lineageos_h815_defconfig). Should you wish to change the name, simply change the name and alter the defconfig name in the BoardConfig.mk for your particular device.
So...to the main part - how do you build a rom.
Essentially there are a few main commands that are spoken about
"source build/envsetup.sh". This runs the builder script and loads all the custom commands.
"breakfast". This simply pulls the device specific code from the official repos. You do not need this if you are building unofficially
"brunch". This effectively performs breakfast, but assuming everything is synced correctly, it will finish without an issue. Then it will go on to begin the build. Normally brunch is run as brunch <rom name>_<device model>-userdebug (or eng if you are developing). User is used for OEM releases but most roms use userdebug as it is slightly more relaxed on conditions
To build a rom from unsupported sources requires a bit of thought. Firstly, ensure you have all the dependencies synced (hopefully from the target rom) as well as the device sources.
Then you need to go into the device tree and modify
The <rom>.mk file to now be renamed to your new rom.
You need to enter that file and modify any stuff relating to your old ROM look for your new rom instead (device type configurations are normally the main one here).
You need to remove any stuff inside your device tree relating to features not in your new rom.
Then run "source build/envsetup.sh"
"brunch <rom>_<device model>-userdebug"
This will hopefully begin the build and assuming everything is setup correctly, should continue through to finish building the rom of your choice
If you have any questions/issues with this process, I will be happy to answer to the best of my ability
Also, big thanks to the LineageOS guide for giving me a basis upon which to base this guide on
PRODUCT_COMPATIBILITY_MATRIX_LEVEL_OVERRIDE directly
Specify Framework Compatibility Matrix Version in device manifest by adding a target-level attribute to the root element <manifest>. If PRODUCT_COMPATIBILITY_MATRIX_LEVEL_OVERRIDE is 26 or 27, you can add "target-level"="1" to your device manifest instead.
how to implement this?

What Android version are you building (this determines the api level). Also, what rom and device (links are helpful as I can see what it going on)
I would imagine you need something like https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...mmit/c24f0fff1fb1fc46d638e91777281ec7efc3e239

i did not get the way to override or more precisely i dont know where to put the code to over ride this flag so i simply commented this in BoardConfig.mk itself. as it says its deprecated.
now i encounter this -

Pie is an oddball case at the moment. Many ROMs work if you cherry-picking fixes off Gerrit (I built Pie Lineage for my G4 but it required about 20 cherry-picks off the lineage Gerrit before it built)
In your case, it looks like you are possibly missing a ril-caf repo (look in the nos.xml and you will see only the non-caf repo is being synced). You can add the caf one but it's possible it isn't ready yet
thanks a lot, i can see one ril related entry in nos.xml. let me do some research on it.
thanks a lot for all your help buddy.

Ok. Sorry for the late reply.
You need to open the AndroidProducts.mk file and rename the lineage_oneplus2.mk line to aosp_oneplus2.mk.
You also need to change the lineage_oneplus2.mk file so it is called aosp_oneplus2.mk, and inside it you need to change any occurrences to aosp (basically you are rebranding the device tree to use the aosp versions rather than the lineage branded ones)

Sorry, I don't think I can help with that
Make sure your build environment is set up correctly (wiki.lineageos.org/devices/oneplus2/build will help with that) and also ensure you are using Pie device sources (from what I have gathered you are trying to build Pie, but if you are using device trees and kernel from Oreo or anything else then it will require much more than this guide details)

Ok so what it looks like - did you sync only the device trees and any common ones and then use the "brunch" or "breakfast" command to download the rest of the repos. If so, then it's still pulled the repos from lineage (in all the dependency files, you can see where they come from)
If you did, try finding the AEX equivalent repo and replacing that in the .dependency file that it is referred to in.
If this is not what you did, please detail what you did to get your environment

Care to help?
@milouk care to participate?
@Shahan_mik3 can you help?
@CosmicDan mind to help?
Well the place project is stopped is here:
This the instructions:
The Device Repository
Next, we’ll fill the manifest with information. Start with your device repository. Create the following line between the <manifest> and </manifest> tags, replacing the information inside the square brackets with your own:
<project path="device/[manufacturer]/[device]" name="[repository name]" remote="[remote]" revision="[revision]" />
Note
The revision attribute may be omitted if the default revision for this remote is the one that you wish to use.
If you’re not sure of your remote, jump down to Remotes.
Dependencies
Now create more lines like the previous, using the cm.dependencies or lineage.dependencies file you found earlier in your device repository. This file lists all of the other repositories that you need to build for your selected device. It’s listed in a fairly straightforward way, so create a line for each of the entries in there using the following template:
<project path="[target_path]" name="[repository]" remote="[remote]" revision="[revision]" />
The target path is found in the repository’s name. The preceding “android” or “proprietary” is omitted and underscores are replaced with slashes. For example, android_device_lge_bullhead goes in device/lge/bullhead.
This is the file builded:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

No such item in brunch menu. Try 'breakfast'
following for any update....
I hope you guys succeed... I heard it is quite difficult to port ubuntu touch for not supported device and people face many errors so they give it up. BTW i don't know anything about rom development. I am a total noob.
But best wishes to you guys
Anyone wanting to join glad to hear

This sounds like a great idea. I am following the ubports community since a long time and just love the project. I cross my fingers that you succeed. I can't offer any help as I am lacking the brain capicity to code but my thoughts are with you. As @ tejjoshii already said, I also believe the porting processs is super complicated.
Have you heard of Maru OS. It's based on lineage os and debian or ubuntu. The building process seems pretty straight forward. You just need to patch the lineage os files with the maru os files. As our device sadyl doesn't have hdmi out we could usegoogle chromecast to mirror it to a screen (that#s how they do it with the nexus 5x)- Maybe that would be for the meantime a good alternative. It combines the good two worlds of android and linux. When you connect it to a screen it boots up a full linux system. It's fully open source At the moment the htc 10, samsung galaxy s9, nexus 5 and nexus 5x and some other devices are supported.

Gave up on it too much effort to do alone since it's no Android to Android port. I'll reconsider if anyone contributes
I know it's not exactly ubuntu touch but I am running a recent Ubuntu installed alongside the Android through UserLAnd app. My phone is not even unlocked/rooted (the app uses proot). Thanks to the fast built-in storage on our phone, it's actually running quite decently. The xfce4 desktop is quite usable and so are the more demanding programs like gimp, inkscape, libreoffice, rawtherapee. The speed is comparable to my older iMac with the i5 processor. As you don't get a direct display access, you start X through vncserver and connect to it through an android vnc client. It's cool that it basically acts just like another android app so you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. It's too bad we can't easily connect our phone to and external monitor like I could with my old galaxy S5.
I've been running a linux distro on my phones for more than 7 years and for me it's one of the coolest things about android - that you can reuse existing linux kernel to run a full linux distribution.

Maybe we have soon Linux (Debian) and lineage os up and running on our beloved pocophone. Connect it to a screen via chromecast and you'll have a proper convergence experience. One of the devs of the maru OS team is interested to port for the poco
Can someone explain what would maru OS offer that is not already available through UserLAnd?

Please correct me if I'am mistaken I don't have much experience with userland. When you run linux through userland can you mirror it to a big screen? But I believe the difference is that when you start Linux through userland you can't use the android part of the phone at the same time. Is that correct?
With Maru OS I believe it's different. Once you connect your phone with a cable or wirelesse solution to a screen it automatically boot up full linux distro (people are running ubuntu and debian at the moment and some seem keen to experiment with kde). Yo can use still the android part of your phone as regular, do phone calls etc.?
Here is an older video to give you a rough idea:
