[HOWTO] Build /e/ without docker for non LineageOS supported devices

[andrelam]

You install this on your server (you can skip the docker stuff if you want). Then you set the URL: https://yoururlxyz.org/api. I got trouble using php 7.4, so I guess it’s better to use older version, 5.6.

Thanks for that @andrelam

Hey Nikoleos. Nice that you own the pretty xiaomi davinci.

Do you have any progress?

[petefoth]

Which branch of the builde.sh script should I use: master or community? Thanks

[andrelam]

You can use master, community is not up to date.

There are two ways to extract the proprietary vendor files:

1. Extract from an existing LineageOS ROM - see this guide on the LineageOS website
2. Extract from a device, running either a Stock ROM, or a custom ROM

• see this post from @Manoj and the one that follows it
• or this post the LineageOS website

@duszek

Is there any guide how to extract the file from stock ROM?

If you can enable Android debugging and rooted debugging in the Developer Settings, then the method described here may work

or this post the LineageOS website

To enable the Developer Settings, go to ‘Settings > About Phone’ and tap seven times on the `Build number’ field

There is not even a single custom ROM for my phone (Motorola moto e5 nora).

It seems that there is an Android 9 / PIe GSI (Generic System Image) that works on this device - see this thread on XDA Forums. It looks like most things work on it.

According to that thread, it needs to be flashed on top of an earlier Lineage 15 / oreo GSI although this other article about installing it seems to imply that is not necessary.

I have no useful experience with GSIs, but search in these forums to find out more. If those Lineage GSIs work on your device, then it should be possible to build an /e/ GSI. But I would definitely start with the Lineage GSI.

Good luck!

I’m sorry I don’t know. I followed those steps for a different device just by changing the name, but the device was already running a Lineage ROM and I already had the build environment set up.

I’m afraid I am out of ideas, except to find out more about GSIs - not from me I don’t now anything much about GSIs - and maybe go that route

Hi @harvey186 I intent to build also for my Xiaomi Mi Max 2 in order to keep this device as backup device. I would like to ask you have you succeeded and if you did could you share your resources
