anyone tried building android for their device on a sub-stellar PC? my phone doesn’t have LOS21/A14 available so I tried the build-it-yourself route… dios mio, this takes eons!

I know it’s a huge code base, but I had no concept of the size… I’ve left it syncing the repo like two hours ago and it’s at 10%. no idea if it’s gonna build at all and if it takes a day to download the thing and another one to build it (Ryzen 5) maybe I should go look for a $100 replacement that still gets LineageOS.

anyone been down this road?

    Try with LineageOS4MicroG docker image (you can build a stock LOS with that). Anyway after the first time next builds should be faster. The biggest problem will be compatibility, probably the new LOS you build will be incompatible with the older kernel version built for your device, and you will have to (at least) fix some bugs and find some workaround
