Prerequisites

xda-developers

Dependencies

sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel ImageMagick-devel patch ncurses-compat-libs schedtool libstdc++.i686 glibc.i686 m4 gcc && sync

Prepare Build Environment

Cleanup

cd ~ && sudo rm -Rf ~/'android/cm-14.1/'* ~/'.ccache' ~/'.jack-server' ~/'.jack-settings' && sync

Install git-repo

mkdir -p ~/'bin' && wget -O ~/'bin/repo' 'https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo' && chmod +x ~/'bin/repo'

Configure Git

nano ~/'.gitconfig'

email = espionage724@x
name = Sean Lynn Rhone

[color]
ui = auto

Initialize Repo

mkdir -p ~/'android/cm-14.1' && cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && repo init --manifest-url='https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git' --manifest-branch='cm-14.1' --depth=1 && sync

Motorola Manifest

  • If pulling in fresh sources, do not add this until the sources are backed-up 1)
mkdir -p ~/'android/cm-14.1/.repo/local_manifests' && nano ~/'android/cm-14.1/.repo/local_manifests/motorola.xml'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>

  <!-- Motorola -->
  <project path="vendor/motorola" name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_motorola" remote="github" revision="cm-14.1" />

</manifest>

Sources Management

Pull-in and Update Sources

Network Sync

  • As of 2017/07/07, this downloads around 10GB for cm14.1
  • If pulling fresh sources, this command is good to leave running overnight, and then followed up with a backup
cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && repo sync --current-branch --network-only --jobs='4' --force-broken --force-sync && sync

Complete Sync

cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && repo sync --current-branch --network-only --jobs='4' --force-broken --force-sync && sync && repo sync --current-branch --local-only --jobs='16' && sync

Backup Sources

cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && tar -cvzf ~/'Downloads/lineageos-cm14.1-'$(date +%Y-%m-%d)'.tar.gz' '.repo' && cd ~ && sync

Restore Sources

mkdir -p ~/'android/cm-14.1' && cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && tar -xvzf ~/'Downloads/lineageos-cm14.1-'*'.tar.gz' '.repo' && sync

Modifications

Allow Signature Spoofing

  • This allows microG Services Core and FakeStore to fake Google Play Services and Play Store respectively
wget -O ~/'Downloads/GmsCore-android_frameworks_base-N.patch' 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch' && cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && patch --no-backup-if-mismatch --strip='1' --directory='frameworks/base' < ~/'Downloads/GmsCore-android_frameworks_base-N.patch' && rm -f ~/'Downloads/GmsCore-android_frameworks_base-N.patch' && sync

Allow Location Providers Outside /system

  • This allows microG Services Core to provide UnifiedNlp without having to be installed to /system/priv-app or having to have an outdated NetworkLocation.apk there
wget -O ~/'Downloads/UnifiedNlp-android_frameworks_base-N.patch' 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/master/patches/android_frameworks_base-N.patch' && cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && patch --no-backup-if-mismatch --strip='1' --directory='frameworks/base' < ~/'Downloads/UnifiedNlp-android_frameworks_base-N.patch' && rm -f ~/'Downloads/UnifiedNlp-android_frameworks_base-N.patch' && sync

Remove Deprecated HWUI GCC Flag

  • Removes the deprecated -mapcs flag and prevents clang++ from reporting an error about it later on
  • Only has effect and needed if HWUI_COMPILE_FOR_PERF is true
sed -i 's/-marm -mapcs/-marm/g' ~/'android/cm-14.1/frameworks/base/libs/hwui/Android.mk'

Tweaks

  • If this file doesn't exist, this is likely being ran on fresh sources, and requires breakfast to be served first
  • Place this at the top of the file underneath the copyright 2)
nano ~/'android/cm-14.1/device/moto/shamu/device.mk'

Steven Black's Unified Hosts File

  • Includes fakenews and gambling extensions
rm -Rf '/tmp/master.zip' '/tmp/hosts-master' && wget 'https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/archive/master.zip' -O '/tmp/master.zip' && unzip '/tmp/master.zip' -d '/tmp' && python3 '/tmp/hosts-master/updateHostsFile.py' --auto --extensions 'fakenews' 'gambling' --output ~/'android/cm-14.1/system/core/rootdir/etc' && rm -Rf '/tmp/master.zip' '/tmp/hosts-master' && sync

Quick Command

  • This expects signing keys in-place
  • This does the next 9 commands in-order and produces a flashable zip
cd ~/'android/cm-14.1' && make 'clobber' && sync && source ~/'android/cm-14.1/build/envsetup.sh' && breakfast 'shamu' && sync && unset 'CCACHE_DISABLE' && export 'CCACHE_DISABLE=1' && unset 'ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS' && export 'ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx12G' && mka target-files-package dist && sync && croot && ~/'android/cm-14.1/build/tools/releasetools/sign_target_files_apks' -o -d ~/'.android-certs' ~/'android/cm-14.1/out/dist/'*'-target_files-'*'.zip' ~/'android/cm-14.1/signed-target_files.zip' && sync && ~/'android/cm-14.1/build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files' -k ~/'.android-certs/releasekey' --block --backup='true' ~/'android/cm-14.1/signed-target_files.zip' ~/'Downloads/'$(date +%m-%d)'-oreo-los-N6-esp724.zip' && sync && jack-admin kill-server
