Building a fork of LineageOS with gapps for Galaxy S5 Neo

Custom Build Instructions

We will use the docker image provided by the lineageos4microg team and alter accordingly the instructions provided.

Custom Userscripts:

The custom userscripts that our container image will support are described below:

/root/userscripts/begin.sh | Runs at start.
/root/userscripts/before.sh | Runs after build\envsetup.sh
/root/userscripts/pre-build.sh | Runs right before build starts.
/root/userscripts/post-build.sh | Runs after build
/root/userscripts/end.sh | Runs at the end

Re-building for Galaxy S5 Neo

As there is no official support for this device, we first have to include the sources in the source tree through an XML in the manifests folder. We will use repositories from the Exynos7580 team.

We also set INCLUDE_PROPRIETARY=false, as the proprietary blobs are already provided by the vendor repositories (so we don't have to include the TheMuppets repo).

We add a repository for custom pre-built packages.

Added MatLog Libre app to help with capturing logs. In this case as well the app needs an extra permission through adb, it's easier to include it in the build. Downloaded the app from fdroid's website.
Added Fdroid and FDroidPriviligedExtension

We add a repository that includes the bromite system webview which is more privacy friendly than android's default chromium webview.

We make the necessary changes to incude the opengapps packages according to the instructions found here.

We add all the needed repositories in our s5neolte.xml file and we move the manifest file to /home/$USER/lineageos/manifests. We also add our custom script to /home/$USER/lineageos/userscripts/.

Now we can create our build

$ sudo docker run \
     -e "BRANCH_NAME=lineage-15.1" \
     -e "DEVICE_LIST=s5neolte" \
     -e "SIGN_BUILDS=true" \
     -e "CUSTOM_PACKAGES=FDroid FDroidPrivilegedExtension MatLog" \
     -e "INCLUDE_PROPRIETARY=false" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/src:/srv/src" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/zips:/srv/zips" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/logs:/srv/logs" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/ccache:/srv/ccache" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/keys:/srv/keys" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/manifests:/srv/local_manifests" \
     -v "/home/$USER/lineageos/userscripts:/srv/userscripts" \
     -e "RELEASE_TYPE=SISYPHUS" \
     -e "USER_NAME=Nikolaos Perrakis" \
     -e "USER_MAIL=nikperrakis@gmail.com" \
     -e "KEYS_SUBJECT=/C=UK/L=Nottingham/O=LineageOS/emailAddress=nikperrakis@gmail.com" \
     lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd

The resulting image can uploaded to androidfilehost.

Things to update when re-building

Check for new BromiteWebview release.
Check that latest android security update has been merged in LineageOS repositories.
Update pre-built apk's to latest versions.

Helpful commands:

Removing repo locks if connection is lost and sync fails:

# Run within source directory!
$ sudo find ./ -name *lock* -exec rm {} \;
# add command to custom script?
