Problem about build lineageOS from source!!!! - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

I'm so sorry about this thread.
Today, I tried to build this rom from source but I faced with a lot of problem because no dev do this rom so I try to it by myself.
Here is there steps I did:
download source code with repo.
- Prepare kernel: I use some guide in AOSP to build this kernel.
- Repair software binaries: Im just download it from Xperia dev.
the first big thing I got is when I use command breafast to build, I didn't not find anything about my device althought I create some folder and place the material on this as same as the guide in AOSP.
So can someone help me rewrite these code to make it work ?

You can use OmniROM as a source. Re-writing the sources to compile should not be a big thing. Can you share your sources?

first i Follow this guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nicki/build
and change these thing on this step with something under this line: Prepare the device-specific code
after that I use this guide to build suzu kernel: https://developer.sonymobile.com/op.../#how-to-automatically-build-the-linux-kernel
And I download binaries from source: https://developer.sonymobile.com/op.../#how-to-automatically-build-the-linux-kernel
and I store these thing on google cloud engine, so how to share it to you?

I read that limit bandwidth is 1gb per month and storage is 5gb, isn't it?
I didn't rewrite any code, just build everything from the source

Hold on. I'm planning to start working on a custom ROM after fixing the encryption in TWRP. Github has almost unlimited storage, so you shouldn't be worried. You need to fork the OmniROM tree for suzu and loire-common and adapt it to work with LOS.

Not yet. I need to sort out my health issues first.

Have you any news about LineageOS for Xperia X?

---

At this time, no develop build this rom for our device

---

Maybe had better to wait Android O with vendor layer and LOS 15, will be much easier to update.

@eagleeyetom
As I wanted to get into android rom development/building, I started today syncing the LOS source an forking the omnirom device tree for suzu and loire-common and adapted already some stuff a little bit.
But you probably know more than me about this, so when forking the device tree, loire-commen, etc... for suzu from omnirom, there are these omni.dependencies files, I somehow don't have a plan what to do with those.
Do they need some adapting too or something else?
I would be very grateful if you could point me into the right direction what do with them.
Greetings.

You need to clone all the repos mentioned in that file. If you are porting LOS, just leave it blank until it gets official.

Yeah I cloned them all and created a manifest where I included them all to sync them all with "repo sync" and to place them in the correct folders etc.
But it looks like theres something wrong with the sepolicy in loire-common:
Code:
device/sony/loire-common/sepolicy/device.te:4:ERROR 'duplicate declaration of type/attribute' at token ';' on line 39737:
type trim_area_partition_device, dev_type;
type persist_block_device, dev_type;
checkpolicy: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration
/root/android/system/out/host/linux-x86/bin/checkpolicy: loading policy configuration from /root/android/system/out/target/product/suzu/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/policy.conf
[ 28% 16734/57899] Import includes file: /root/android/system/out/target/product/suzu/obj/EXECUTABLES/init_intermediates/import_includes
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
make: *** [ninja_wrapper] Error 1
This happens later also with init.te and tad.te, not only device.te. I tried commenting those lines out but this resulted in an error saying that theres no type declaration.

You can try to build permissive first and try to fix sepolicy later.

Okey, how do you build permissive? There needs to be something done in the kernel/.../security/selinux/makefile or am I wrong?

So here's the first boot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I switched the sources, I used now the repos from sonyxperiadev instead of omnirom as I kept getting the sepolicy errors even when I tried building permissive.
There are a few things that still need work, like the sim is not recognized etc.
Will release it here on xda when most of stuff is working fine.
Thanks for your great help!:good:

Congratulations! I hope that you will make it stable soon
