/e/OS on Samsung Galaxy J5 2017

harvey186 · June 28, 2020, 5:52pm

As I have written, inside the .mk files you have to do some adjustments.

Here for example is the wrong product name

harvey186 · June 28, 2020, 5:53pm

… …
Not yet. It’s WIP

harvey186 · June 28, 2020, 5:55pm

Yes, you will get build errors or the built won’t boot. It’s like trying to mount a vw golf door on a mercedes

I forked the guy’s repo, but it looks like the local_manifests directory is not read. Maybe the Docker mapping is incorrect ?

PS : this is my very first build of anything related to Lineage OS so I’m kinda noob

PPS : cannot post anymore for today sooo I won’t be able to answer you. (BTW I’ve not misspelled local_manifest, it is correctly mapped to /srv/local_manifests - but still the error product lineage_j5y17lte not found)

Anonyme · June 28, 2020, 6:51pm

Be careful, it’s local_manifests and not local_manifest

Sadly I don’t know (yet) how to make a non-lineageos source working. I didn’t see it wasn’t made for lineageos when I made the roomservice.

harvey186 · June 28, 2020, 7:52pm

From my side of view, trying to adjust this sources makes no sense. It’s wasted time. Better searching for los sources or searching for a los rom and using that sources

Off topic: I wanted to appreciate the efforts being put in by @julek to first request a device and then attempt to build it himself. Also thanks to @harvey186 and @Anonyme who are helping him out in his efforts. A community is only as strong or as good as the support or contributions of its users.

Hi, do you know why my build for manta has started even if there is no “lineage_manta.mk” file please ? It’s just “lineage.mk”.

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 3:21pm

I can’t believe, because all files are for AOSP and are full against lineage rules. Product name, … everything is wrong. I never was able to start a build with such sources

As you can see in the above error message, the build script is looking for a product lineage_deviceName
product "lineage_j5y17lte

And in your sources the product name is AOSP_manta. I really don’t know, why your build is starting

Anonyme · June 29, 2020, 3:41pm

Unknown was only building for LineageOS supported devices.
manta is officially only for Marshmallow but as you have already seen, there is a Nougat branch.

I think Unknown used this ‘normally not working’ branch to build the [UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Google Nexus 10 (manta)

I will publish the build once it’s done and see if it’s working for somebody.

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 3:47pm

yes, he has build everything ‘blind’.

i have tried building for manta and it was always failing. hope your build will Finish successful

EDIT: OK, the lineage.mk contains the right Product Name
PRODUCT_NAME := lineage_manta

It seems that aosp_manta.mk isn’t needed for LOS builds

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 3:52pm

have you seen the PRODUCT_PROPERTY_OVERRIDES := \

No, what’s wrong with that ?

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 4:02pm

It’s changing the DNS to goolag DNS

Anonyme · June 29, 2020, 4:03pm

Even after the /e/ build is done ? (I guess yes, if not you wouldn’t have care)

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 4:05pm

I don’t know what comes first, but I think device definitions are more important. But you can check after build in build.prob

julek · June 29, 2020, 4:37pm

Looks like there are already unofficial images for my phone :
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397917811

They were built against Pie (which is consistent with my observations for Pie conformity).

The guy’s git repo is there : https://github.com/bosniandoge

This one looks particularly interesting : https://github.com/bosniandoge/vendor-j5y17lte

Dunno obviously if his builds work, but it could be a good starting point (if we find out how to build the thing) don’t you think so ? (Won’t be available tonight for building as I’m also reading books but tomorrow I’ll have some spare time)

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 4:53pm

I would start with this manifest

github.com

bosniandoge/local_manifests/blob/lineage-16.0/j5xnlte

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>

  

  <remote  name="Galaxy-MSM8916"

  <remove-project name="platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9" />

This one won’t work - it is not for j5y17lte - my phone is a J530F with an Exynos CPU, not a Qualcomm

harvey186 · June 29, 2020, 6:47pm

Oh, bad. Have you found a fitting manifest in this chaos github repo?
