TWRP/Android building from source

notes.md

Notes

• Using prebuilt kernels are the norm - look at the device repos that twrp hosts. Safe to ignore deprecated warning.

Setup

Using the minimal manifest takes < 3hrs to repo sync.

Use git init <manifestrepouri> -b <android-6.0> --depth=1 and git sync -j5 -c

Makefiles for dayz

"/bin/bash: line 0: test: -ge: unary operator expected"

• I don't actually know how to debug this yet.

Building twrp for device X, Y and Z

• X, Y and Z each need a device folder in device/<manufacturer>/<codename>
• Device folder path may need to be same as whatever is hardcoded in makefiles within that device folder
• Add to .repo/local_manifests/ xml file if using an existing repo, otherwise manually create the directory.
• Ignore roomservice errors. Presumably only a warning message.

Suggested setup process

1. First build an emulator image / Build for device with known working config. Test it works.
2. Try porting LOL
