Hello,
As the thread where I originally announced this was locked for reasons apparently unrelated to my build, and the links removed, I'm creating a new thread to keep the community aware of these builds.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
The build for the Asus Zenpad 8.0 Z380K[N]L (aka P024) is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/p024/. This appears to work on both the Z380KL (as reported in the locked thread) and my Z380KNL. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.
Edit: per moderator request, I need to provide a link to the source repository used to generate these builds to comply with XDA's interpretation of the GPL. It is the stock LineageOS repository, located at git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git. TheMuppets binary repository was used for the vendor blobs; it is at https://github.com/TheMuppets/
Hi, I have been using your build and updated my device weekly! it' s still good and awesome. (I also use your build for my nexus7)
if you find Oreo, Pie version! please let everyone know. Thank you.
Thank's keep update bro.
Hi, I don't see your weekly build for 22 Nov 2019.
Are there any issues ?
Nice update thanks friends l.
Yeap yesterday i reported, and TS promised to update.
Argh, apparently I wasn't subscribed to my own thread. Fixed.
Sorry about the SIM recognization problem. Somehow my private dev builds were being uploaded instead of the sustaining builds. @DEV87WHY pinged me a few days ago to let me know. The newest build is from the correct tree, and hopefully this won't happen again.

Question about Unofficial rom for Asus ZenPad 8.0 z380knl
How do you update device with rom without losing apps and data? Is it possible to update from unofficial lineage os 14.1 from your repository to latest unofficial lineage os 14.1 build from your repository without having to reinstall apps? My understanding is that you follow the process of normal flash of rom but you don't wipe? Is that it?
Another question:
Does MTP(file transfer) work with this ROM?
Also, did you manage to unlock bootloader(oem unlock). I know it is possible to flash the rom without bootloader unlock. Is that how you do it or you have found a way to unlock bootloader?
Thank you so much.

Hi there,
First off -- thanks for the gift! Much appreciated.
If you're just flashing one of my newer builds on top of one of my older builds, then you shouldn't have to do anything special. Just kick the device into recovery and flash on top of the older build. If you're coming from the ancient Cyanogenmod or the stock ROM, then AFAIK you'll have to wipe.
MTP *should* work but I've never tried it. I don't have my device with me right now so I can't do a quick verification.
For unlocking the bootloader, I'm trying to remember (this was several years ago). IIRC I put it into fastboot and did a tethered recovery boot (i.e., "fastboot boot /path/to/recovery_image_on_pc.img"). Then I did a full wipe and a flash ... and bricked the device because I had a Z380KNL and the Cyanogenmod image at the time supported only the Z380KL.
I then put the stock ROM back on, and when the KNL bits hit the Cyanogen repository, I flashed it with success. At no point did I ever successfully unlock the bootloader as far as I can tell -- I downloaded the ASUS unlock but it never reported success. When booted into fastboot, there's a locked symbol at the lower right of the screen. That doesn't interfere with flashing anything from recovery.
Oh, and important safety tip: to enter recovery from fastboot after you've flashed it via the tethered recovery boot, you'll have to choose "factory reset" on the KNL.
I hope that helps.
As soon as I find out MTP is working I will flash the rom

Gift was my pleasure
The info is most usefull. Thank you for that.
I am currently running my ZenPad 8.0 z380knl on Asus stock rom but ardently looking to upgrade to android 7.1.2 for security reasons as well as other reasons.
I was investigating if everything is working on the new rom. Also upgrade procedure from stock rom to lineage os and from lineage os 14.1 to latest 14.1 lineage os. Thankfully you cleared all that up. Thanks so much !
Only thing that remains for me to find out is if MTP is working on rom, so please check it for me when you have the time.
BTW, I haven't seen your new buld since last week.Will there be no update ?
Is everything working with this ROM?
Can i get confirmation from someone who is actively using it..
MTP and everything else working?

There should be an update (or two!) today. The build rooster hung about midway through last week's build for deb, and was actually still running after seven days. I killed off the deb build process and it's progressing to the other devices, although much slower than it should be. I'll troubleshoot this after the regularly scheduled build completes late tonight.
(I'm using Arch Linux on this build machine, and it seems that something in the filesystem layer in kernel > 5.4.10 doesn't like operating under sustained heavy load)
I saw your new build today and have installed it. Thank you
However, The latest security patch has not been applied yet. Hope it will come in next build.
Thank you so much for maintaining the device.
Thank you wileyc !

*** This project is now abandoned in favor of the LineageOS variant ***
This is a port of Cyanogenmod 14.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. Cyanogenmod needs no introduction, it is one of the most popular aftermarket ROM distributions around.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
As this is the first CM-14.1 release, I don't recommend you use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough for some. Make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on Cyanogenmod 14.1 sources which is based on Nougat 7.1.

https://github.com/jedld/kernel_samsung_gtexslte.git
Update Dec 3, 2016
===============
Fixed GPS, Wifi Hotspot, Graphics issues, Calls, Camera,sdcard is now marked as adoptable.
Works:
- Wifi/SMS
- Audio
- Graphics with glitches (minor screen tearing, blank screen showing up on overlays)
- GPS
- Wifi Hotspot
- Incoming/Outgoing Calls
- MTP
Does not work:
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- LTE (Due to APN issues)
- Battery Meter not updating
Bugs/Known Issues
* Problems recording video
Other Notes:
- selinux permissive
Most of the issues are fixable, I just need more time and encouragement
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty, Samsung representatives will probably not be able to help you as they are still stuck at 5.1.1 land as of now and have no idea how to handle a SM-T285 that is running 7.1.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section.
BUILD12032016
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Nice job!!!
Great job! The ROM is impressively fluid, and I particularly love the way it renders fine text, which I appreciate because I prefer DPIs of 140 to 160. Unfortunately, just like in the early iterations of OmniROM 6.0, the tablet will not connect to the internet over cellular networks no matter how much I tinker with APNs. It's a great build, nevertheless, and I look forward to future releases.
Thank you !! Will give it a try.
posting here too (as did on omni - realized this is the cm 14.1 board)...
"briefly tried the cm14.1....much better very fast response-on the omni the pull down was an issue (would also ask me to format the sd card)
noticed here too the signal tends to drop in and out (wonder if it is some power saving going on-it goes to full strength during a call)...speakerphone also does not work here but must say this is better than the omni even though data does not work"
keyboard much better here too
on both cm14.1 and the omni, the dialer tends to be have some lag when pressing the numbers (do it too fast and can get many errors)-minor thing understand this is an alpha and the omni is a beta
thanks
I can't get Soft Keys to work, worked fine on the Omni ROM, only problem I have come across so far.

Those patches didn't help unfortunately Though I've fixed network type selection in CM-14.1 already, unfortunately data connection still won't come online due to errors related to APNs. Seeing as this was working perfectly in CM-13 this could be a CM-14 or Nougat related change, it will take a while to figure out what that is. As for bluetooth I was able to get it to turn on, however it is still unable to detect/pair to any device, this is also something that was working in CM-13.

Since the nightly TWRP Build seems to be broken for the H7, i'm wondering, if there is someone out there, who can fix it..
The only compilation i did for myself was a CM12 for my oldstyle Nexus4 some years ago..
So i already tried to set up a build environment with the minimal-Omni-Sources for TWRP and grabbed the h7-devicetree from paulobrien at https://twrp.me/huawei/huaweihonor7.html
But i'm not able to find any Vendor/Kernel sources - i assume that i need them to get twrp build working..
Final state: i failed due to missing competence and knowledge....
Maybe there is someone out there, who can fix the build, or assist to get my environment working?

Couldnt you just use the multitool to change your recovery?? Ør do i misunderstand something??
yes... you misunderstood..
I'm not interessted in flashing TWRP to my Device... i'm flashing it by fastboot and not with any tools like multitool, since these tools gathering binaries from remote hosts and you don't know if they are really clean or infected
i'm interessted to compile my own TWRP from the latest TWRP sources, since the nightly-TWRP Build has been broken since a few versions... hopefully we could manage to find the bug that causes the build to produces incompatible revovery's.

No disrespect, but i dont see your problem, Ive used tools to get twrp many times and never had any problems with it whatsoever.. But maybe I just don't know better as said no disrespect meant
Please read it again.... if have no problems flashing/removing or using the TWRP on my H7....
But the multitool can only offer to install a TWRP-Version with "outdated versions"
Some weeks I just realized that the BUILD for the latest TWRP has been broken - you just get into a bootloop... so i contacted team twrp and they disabled the daily TWRP-Build for the H7.
The current build for twrp is 3.2.1.0... the latest build for the H7 is the twrp-3.1.1-0-plank.img.... and it will be the last version ever seen, if there is no one out there who fixes the incompatiblity.
The Unlegacy Android Project
TF201 | TF300T/TG/TL | TF700T
Introduction
Unlegacy Android started out as the OMAP4-AOSP Project. It was created in late 2015 in order to maintain a clean and organized place for pure AOSP support for various OMAP4 devices, such as the Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 series. Over time this evolved to support more than just these devices, but still maintains its roots of supporting "legacy" devices that no longer receive "official" updates: hence Unlegacy Android was born. In our opinion, these ROMs are how the official updates would look.
On top of AOSP, we only include changes which are necessary to support the hardware, be secure, and get acceptable performance. Current features for Asus Transformer Series include:
- Linux kernel 3.4.y (currently 3.4.113)
- BFQ IO scheduler (official kernel 3.4 release), set up so GUI processes have the highest priority
- F2FS support from kernel 4.9 (for /data and /cache)
Installation
You must have NvFlash backup. It is MANDATORY!
You need to use modified TWRP recovery that works with updated F2FS. If you're planning to install GApps, be sure to read the second post!
Problems
Non working/Known bugs:
- Touchscreen failure (sometimes occurs, if touch works after reboot it will work till next reboot);
- Camera (both);
- Dock special keys (top row);
- GUI crashes; - occure less often
Currently, I'm only one from Unlegacy Team, who has TF device. Help in developing or device donation would be highly appreciated.
Downloads
See: http://builds.unlegacy-android.org. Our automated builds ensure that we always have the latest Android security patches merged in, without having to manually start and upload builds Else is enclosed in downloads.
Latest information about OREO builds can be found HERE.
Features?
There isn't much to say here - this is AOSP, if you install GApps, you pretty much get the same thing that's running on the Nexus devices (see the second post). The aim of this project is to create a fast and stable ROM - although, one could use Xposed (or similar) to add extra features.
As usual, feedback is appreciated
Contacts
You may join Telegram development group, where all fresh staff is published and tests are made.

Source Code: https://github.com/Unlegacy-Android
ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
ROM Firmware Required: Bootloader 4.2 JB
Based On: AOSP
Version Information
Status: Beta
Created 2018-02-18
Last Updated 2018-10-17
Installation gide (for those who uses F2FS)
Before installing ROM you need to update your current recovery with this TWRP, else you will get a bootloop with next format from fastboot. Install zip from your current recovery and reboot into your current system. Than boot into new recovery and install ROM (with factory reset).
Currently 3.4 kernel isn't stable enough for daily use. You may use updated 3.1 _that16 kernel, it works fine with this ROM. To make wifi work with _that16 kernel just move nvram_nh615.txt from system/etc to data/misc/wifi and rename to nvram.txt
You may use KatKiss 7.1 if you want, but you must flash a _that16 kernel every time after flashing KatKiss ROM. Else you will get a bootloop with next format from fastboot.
If you want to go back to ordinary TWRP, you need to make a format from fastboot, flash TWRP and make formats from there as well.
REPARTITION and TREBLE
TF201 users know well what is repartition. While flashing 4.2BL from HB internal storage is reformatted. This thing is exactly the same.
I worked on it for few last weeks to make it stable and simple enough to any user to install this update. As usual NvFlash is MANDATORY!
So, UA_Bootloader.zip includes latest JB4.2 10.6.1.27.5 bootloader, modified TWRP [email protected] from Downloads section and my new partition table. It's main benefits are /system partition increased to 1GB and /vendor partition. This means that we may install bigger gapps packages and support of TF's may be extended plus having /vendor partition gives us at least hardware support for Project Treble, even if there is no 8.1 builds currently.
Before installation copy everything from tablet on PC, else all you data will be lost! To install this update just install it via TWPR and when flashing is finished press reboot into system. Than wait till blue line gets to the end and tablet reboots. Tablet will than stuck into ASUS screen with Device is Unlocked sign in top left corner. Than reboot manually into recovery and format /system to ext4; /cache to ext4 or f2fs; /data to ext4 or f2fs and you are good to go.
New partition table is compatible with all existing ROMs for TF's. If you flash ROM with system in .img file you need after flash into recovery do Wipe -> System -> Advanced Wipe -> Change or resize partition -> Resize filesystem. If you want to restore 4.2 state you can flash HB bootloader or Bootloader 4.2 attached in Downloads section.
Thank you very much for your work !
I see you have done some modifications on github. Can you explain to me how generate system.new.dat & system.transfer.list from your repo in order to create an updated version of this ROM ?

Actually you can't build fully working ROM from my source for now. If you would like to help in developing - PM me.
Do I need stock tf201 bootloader, or is this based on the hairybean boadloader? Like Katkiss ROM is based on.
Thanks for sharing this ROM.

Based on latest 4.2 bootloader (like Hairybean). I'll provide a bootloader + new TWRP and separate TWRP as soon as I get a stable recovery build.
General Feedback
Finally got around to flashing your ROM a week ago, following your instructions, everything went fine. I installed your UA-bootloader and flashed _that16 kernel.
Running pretty smooth with Pico gapps installed, after a week, the usual happens, slow loading apps etc, but that is not the ROMs fault, the very slow memory that Asus put into it and Google is slowing it down with constant syncs etc.
Was wondering if you had added compatibility for using MicroG?
Thanks for keeping this old tablet going.
@goosebickel sorry for such a long silence. MicroG are supported as I can say (I installed them but didn't test much).
P.S. If you are still on UA rom there is an update.
Oreo 8.1
Yesterday I have quickly build 8.1 ROM for transformers. There doesn't work almost anything and I won't have excess to my TF201 for a while to fix stuff Rom can be booted with same requirements as N roms. Here is first build. Please don't post any issues/logs from O for now. I know already about all major issues.
Thank you!
Great to see some development for the Transformer Prime
I have some good news. Here is mostly working build with issues from N + non working bt. I'm still working on fixing staff so this isn't last build.
P.S. Remove system/lib/hw/bluetooth.default.so to avoid constant bt crash

My 201 is on KANG's - TWRP 3.2.1-0 and KatKiss, if this ROM just a simple wipe and flash with KANG's - TWRP 3.2.1-0 and the Harry Bean bootloader on my 201 or will I need a different recovery console, bootloader ext. ext? - NP
Hello,
@sir_bazz mentioned that this needed its own thread, thus I'm creating one.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
Deb is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/deb/. Flo is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/flo/. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.
Edit: per moderator request, I need to provide a link to the source repository used to generate these builds to comply with XDA's interpretation of the GPL. It is the stock LineageOS repository, located at git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git. TheMuppets binary repository was used for the vendor blobs; it is at https://github.com/TheMuppets/
Have been testing the latest weekly for a couple of days now, and no issues to report.
My Deb device is relegated to a dedicated Pogo tablet and I think Lineage 14.1 is a better match for my use as there's noteably more memory available after system startup than with the Pie ROMs I've tested.
It just feels much smoother.
Would've been more than happy with monthly updates but thanks for building the ROM and also making weeklies available for us Nexus 7 diehards.

Likewise. I was just about to junk a (relatively) new N7 (flo) on stock MM. but wanted to give a newer ROM a try (Oreo). I didn't like my O options and stumbled upon these N builds on the backend of another thread. Flashed/Magisk couple Mods. Been up a week now and not one problem whatsoever!
Really appreciate the work as this ROM (I had never used a LinOS rom before) is running so well the N7 is almost my daily house driver again. The N7 FF really has never been matched/surpassed and once you've become accustomed to it its just hard to give up that "sweet spot".

Hi, I've just updated both my Hammerhead 15.1 and Flo 14.1. Everything has gone smoothly and all is working. I was just hoping you could clarify something that occurred to me regarding the builds.
When you say there are no modifications, does that mean that the basic ROM is frozen at the point when LineageOS stopped releasing official builds, and does that also mean that builds in between the monthly security updates are all the same or can there be other security/bug fixing updates from LineageOS? Also Lineage 15 was never official for the Nexus 5 or 7? I'm a bit in the dark as to how these things work.
Thanks in advance.

No worries. By "no modifications", I mean that these are built directly from a clone of the LineageOS repository. I've made absolutely no changes to the source code. No kernel tweaks, no new features, no hidden spyware, no bugfixes (no matter how much I am tempted to do so!).
The LineageOS folks merge the monthly Google security patches into the 14.1 and 15.1 trees, but they don't make official builds for devices that no longer have a maintainer. Their official recommendation is to build it yourself if you want to keep your devices patched, but a non-trivial number of users can't make their own builds, so ...
... since I'm doing builds for my own devices anyway, it would be a good thing to make them available to others. Thus I have done so
Edit: argh, rereading I realize I didn't directly answer your exact question. From an end-user perspective, these builds are indeed frozen in time compared to the last official LineageOS build. Security patches happen as described above.
The Nexus 7 never received an official 15.1 build as far as I can tell, so I'm generating 14.1 for it.
The Nexus 5 is a bit of a grey area, in that builds generated from the 15.1 branch work fine with the exception of Bluetooth (from what I hear, as I don't use Bluetooth on my device). It appears to require a device repartition if you want to use Google apps, though, so I'm building both 14.1 and 15.1 to keep options option.

OK. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry to ask again, but does that mean that I only have to update once a month for the security updates, and that the other weekly builds are basically just repeats? Or am I misunderstanding?

They're repeats. I'm doing them weekly to reduce the amount of time between the security patch hitting the tree and having a patched build available.

Outstanding. That is exactly the reason why I'm making these builds. There's no reason to trash perfectly good hardware. Kudos to the LineageOS folks for keeping the tree patched -- the only thing missing were, um, actual builds.
Hi !
Thank you for your LOS 14.1 updating release, but I have error 7 with TWRP when I try flash it.

Make certain you're flashing the correct image. Boot into the bootloader and verify that the platform is the same as the build variant you are flashing. Good luck.
Thank you so much for this @wileyc , is possible to add 15.1 for flo?

Thank you so much for keeping 14.1 alive!!!

I'm afraid not. These are built from unmodified LineageOS source repo; I'm just providing sustaining builds, not doing new development/porting.
Thank you for these!! This rom runs perfect on the FLO. I hope you continue the updates for a long time!!

Good day sir, would you consider adding to the roster and doing sustaining builds for the Moto Z Play, https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/addison?
Many thanks for providing these builds for the Nexus 7 2013.

No problem at all. I've added it to the weekly roster, and a one-off build is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/addison/.

Awesome turnaround sir. And thank you very much. ?
Thanks for running these builds! Out of curiosity what's the monthly cost like? You running these on a home machine or something like DigitalOcean?
Hi. One Question, can i update over last zeelogs LOS Build?
Hello all, where would I start in making a working twrp for this phone?
Does anyone know if Motorola has released the device tree/source code for this phone so we can make the roms? LineageOS would be ideal.
Well, I have the same phone. Couldn't find ROMs for it.

look in this forum here, there are a couple floating around for it, I've made one, that I was able to fully flash to mine and has touch (Android 10. there's another that is 11 on here too by another poster), but as there are multiple display options out there it seems for how they were made, that is the sticking point, as not all will behave properly when booted into a recovery like mode it seems. I have tried installing it over bootloader and it will have touch then, but when flashed to recovery the touch never activates properly. So it all likely comes to that, as we'll need combine them in, properly applying proper checks for each display type and having it use the proper driver files, since can't load them all at once or it breaks things.

First place to start: twrpdtgen
Read the "readme"
Also check out:
[DEV]How to compile TWRP touch recovery
Device tree made from A10. Should still be relevant for A11.
Kernel for A10. Unfortunately I don't think Moto released the one for A11 yet. You can ask on their GitHub and devs might consider your request.
TWRP for A11. Touch is working.
Edit : here's a link for the device tree (in text) from A11
maybe this will work

UPDATE: I have a telegram account where we are discussing how to make a custom lineage OS. I'm at the gathering stage and in the process of porting a device tree. For starters I want to start with lineage OS 18 because its the same android version the stock OS is, to be on the safe side, and that I've never done ROMS before.
Moto G Power 2021
I now have a device tree with the help of AOSPdtgen from the stock ROM from mirrors.lolinet: https://github.com/thebestofall007/android_device_motorola_borneo
I have started the build and got the first error:

I've looked this error up and they say it's because of the ram, but the error recurs at the same point. I have 16gb of swap, too.

you need alot of ram to build a rom for android 36GB of RAM or more will be beater to it wont crash

The error turned out to be entries in the proprietary-files.text file that needed to be deleted.
@thebestofall007 If you'll suceed. please take in consideration to build \e\ (aka deGoogled Lineage) too.
Here's a couple of interesting links that may help:
https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/build-e
https://community.e.foundation/t/howto-building-e-roms-a-beginners-guide/26371
Last but not least, we've also suggested them (check here) to setup a "build (V)Machine" by modding this colab notebook to made it device agnostic:
https://github.com/viam1-dev/colab_lineage_build
Hope can "inspire" you.
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have a complete list of sources so far? I have some experience in the past building ROMs for Android 5 and I wouldn't mind trying. I have a lot of computer resources to dedicate to building as well.
Device tree: https://github.com/thebestofall007/android_device_motorola_borneo-old
Does anyone know if there is a kernel source? I looked on the Moto github and couldn't find one. Is everyone using prebuilt for the time being? Also, do we need a vendor tree?
Thanks
