Getting Started

To initialize your local repository using the LineageOS trees, use one of the following commands:

repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-15.1
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-16.0
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-17.0
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-17.1
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-18.1
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-19.0
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-19.1
repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-20.0

To add the repositories for the devices potter, sargo, and thea place (or symlink) the respective files into

.repo/local_manifests/

• cm-14.1: potter_14.1.xml, roomservice_thea_14.1.xml, and thea_14.1.xml
mv roomservice_thea_14.1.xml roomservice.xml
• lineage-15.1: potter_15.1.xml, shared_15.1.xml, and thea_15.1.xml
• lineage-16.0: potter_16.0.xml, and shared_16.0.xml
• lineage-17.0: potter_17.0.xml, and shared_17.0.xml
• lineage-17.1: potter_17.1.xml, roomservice_sargo_17.1.xml, sargo_17.1.xml, and shared_17.1.xml
mv roomservice_sargo_17.1.xml roomservice.xml
• lineage-18.1: potter_18.1.xml, roomservice_sargo_18.1.xml, sargo_18.1.xml, and shared_18.1.xml
mv roomservice_sargo_18.1.xml roomservice.xml
• lineage-19.0: roomservice_sargo_19.0.xml, sargo_19.0.xml
mv roomservice_sargo_19.0.xml roomservice.xml
• lineage-19.1: roomservice_sargo_19.1.xml, sargo_19.1.xml
mv roomservice_sargo_19.1.xml roomservice.xml

Then to sync up:

repo sync -j $(nproc --all) -c --no-tags --no-clone-bundle --force-sync --fail-fast

Solving issues

For cm-14.1 one might encounter the error

which can be solved by removing TLSv1, TLSv1.1 from jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms in
/etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security.

For cm-14.1 and lineage-16.0 the build might fail with a python import error which can be solved by explicitly setting the python version in the files
external/nanopb-c/generator/protoc-gen-nanopb and
external/nanopb-c/generator/protoc-gen-nanopb.bat, i.e., changing python to python2.
For lineage-16.0 the build might fail with a python SyntaxError which can be solved by explicitly setting the python version in the file
external/clang/clang-version-inc.py, i.e., changing python to python2.
