Hey guys, so a lot of you have be eagerly anticipating the release of PAC-4.4. Others of you may be seeking pac for a device that is not supported at this moment. So I thought I would take this opportunity to write a guide on how to compile PAC.
In order to compile Android, I recommend that you use a Linux distro. For the purposes of this guide, I shall be using Ubuntu 13.10. It is pretty easy to set up, even as a dual boot with windows.
The first thing you need to do, once you have installed Ubuntu, is to set it up to be able to compile Android. There are a lot of guides that show you how to do this, and this guide has pretty clear instructions. Follow all of his directions until you reach the point where he tells you to initialize the repository (The command he has as an example there is repo init -u git://github.com/AOKP/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr2. Do not run this command or you will have downloaded the AOKP sources instead of the PAC sources)
To download the pac sources, we need to initialize the repository first. For this guide, I will be downloading the pac source to ~/android/pac. Run:
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/pac
cd ~/android/pac
repo init -u git://github.com/PAC-man/pacman.git -b pac-4.4
Now it is time to download the source itself. Keep in mind that the source is rather large (~10+ GB), so you might want to make yourself a cup of tea (or 10 cups if you have a crappy isp) while waiting. Run:
Code:
repo sync
Now, it is time to do the actually compiling. If your device is already supported by PAC, please skip directly to post 3. Else, go to post 2.
Adding Support for a device
To add support for your device, the first thing you need to do is to hunt down your device tree. If you are not sure where your device tree is located, google it or ask in your device's subforum. Now, it is time to add the files required to build.
From the root of directory where you have downloaded the pac source (~/android/pac), go to the vendor/pac directory. This is where we will be making the changes necessary to build for your device. Here are the files that need to be modified/added. Obviously, substitute your devices codename for CODENAME.
1. dependencies/CODENAME.dependencies
This file grabs your device and kernel tree. Look at the dependencies file of a device that is similar to yours to figure out what you need to place in here. A list of all the devices we support and their respective codenames can be found here. Again, if you are unsure about what to place here, you may want to ask for help in your devices subforum. Whenever possible, try to use the CM device tree. For the vendor files, keep the account name as "Pinky-Inky-and-Clyde" but change the repository to the appropriate OEM (check here for repos). Do not worry if the vendor files for your device are not in that repository. We will be adding them later.
Here is a sample CODENAME.dependencies file for a Samsung device (note that the account names are case sensitive):
Code:
[
{
"account": "Pinky-Inky-and-Clyde",
"repository": "proprietary_vendor_samsung",
"target_path": "vendor/samsung",
"revision": "cm-11.0"
},
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_device_samsung_CODENAME",
"target_path": "device/samsung/CODENAME",
"revision": "cm-11.0"
},
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_kernel_samsung_CODENAME",
"target_path": "kernel/samsung/CODENAME",
"revision": "master"
},
{
"account": "CyanogenMod",
"repository": "android_hardware_samsung",
"target_path": "hardware/samsung",
"revision": "cm-11.0"
}
]
Once you have done this, go to the root of your pac source (~/android/pac for this guide), and run
Code:
./vendor/pac/tools/getdependencies.py CODENAME
This will attempt to create the file .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml and then sync up the sources. If you have to make changes to your dependencies, please remove the roomservice.xml file and re-run the script again to ensure that no incorrect repositories are left lingering.
Go to the vendor files directory (~/android/pac/vendor/YOUR_OEM), and search for the vendor files of your device. If they are not there, you will have to search for them online and copy them into the folder.
Alternatively, if your device has an extract-files.sh script, in the device tree (located in device/OEM/CODENAME), you can hook up your device via usb and run that command to grab the vendor files directly from your device. In this case, connect your device and run:
Code:
cd device/OEM/CODENAME
./extract-files.sh
2. products/pac_CODENAME.mk
Again, look at the same file for a device that is similar to yours and make the appropriate changes for your device.
Here is a sample pac_CODENAME.mk file for a hdpi device:
Code:
# Check for target product
ifeq (pac_CODENAME,$(TARGET_PRODUCT))
# OVERLAY_TARGET adds overlay asset source
OVERLAY_TARGET := pa_hdpi
# PAC device overlay
PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS += vendor/pac/overlay/pac/hdpi_480x800
# PAC boot logo
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/pac/prebuilt/common/bootlogo/pac_logo_480x800.rle:root/logo.rle
# Copy bootanimation
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/pac/prebuilt/480x800/bootanimation.zip:system/media/bootanimation.zip
# include PAC common configuration
include vendor/pac/config/pac_common.mk
# Inherit CM device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/samsung/CODENAME/cm.mk)
PRODUCT_NAME := pac_CODENAME
endif
Note: for the PAC device overlay, look inside vendor/pac/overlay/pac for the available overlays. Likewise, for the bootanimation and boot logo, look in their respective directories for the available sizes.
3. vendorsetup.sh
Add a line that looks something like this in the appropriate area of this file (under the appropriate OEM, and in alphabetical order, please).
Code:
add_lunch_combo pac_CODENAME-userbebug
--- The below files are not necessary for successful compilation, but are required if you submit your device for official PAC support. ---
4. Contributors
5. Nightly.xml
6. XDAThreads
7. devices-breakdown.xml
For these files, follow the format of the other devices.
Building PAC
Now that we got all of the housekeeping out of the way, it is time to build the rom!
Open up a terminal and change directory to the base of where you downloaded the PAC source to begin compiling. Run (substitute your device's codename for CODENAME):
Code:
./build-pac.sh CODENAME
There are some additional options available in the build script. To see them all, simply run:
Code:
./build-pac.sh
If everything goes well, your build should be starting. Go take a walk or something while it is building. This may take a while if you have a computer with weak specs.
Submitting your device for official support
Once you have successfully built PAC for your device and tested it, you can submit your changes to our gerrit for official support and automatic nightly builds.
In order to do this, you need to first sign up on our gerrit and get your ssh keys set up. So head on over to http://review.pac-rom.com/ to register for an account. Next, we need to generate an ssh key pair in order to push changes to gerrit. To check if you already have a key pair generated, run
Code:
ls ~/.ssh
If it shows a id_rsa.pub, you already have your keys generated and you can skip to the adding your ssh key to gerrit part.
On the other hand, if there is nothing in your .ssh folder, run
Code:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
When you run this command, it will ask you where you want to save this file. Just hit enter. Next, it will ask you for a passphrase for your private key. Enter a passphrase here that you can remember.
Now, it is time to add your public key to our gerrit. To copy your public key over, run:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xclip
xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
(Alternatively, you can cat the file and just copy it, but the above mentioned way avoids any missing characters while copying.)
Now, login to our gerrit and go to your account settings > ssh public keys. Click on add, and paste the key and save.
It is time to upload your changes. We have a script to make this process easier. To grab the script, run:
Code:
cd ~/bin
wget http://pac-rom.com/downloads/pac-review
chmod a+x pac-review
Now, run:
Code:
cd ~/android/pac
cd vendor/pac
git add -A
git commit
This should open up a text editor (probably nano) where you can put a commit message. For our purposes, just write something along the lines of "Add support for ___." To save the file, hit Ctrl + o. To exit, hit Ctrl + x. Then, run:
Code:
pac-review -p
Follow the prompts and your changes should be automatically pushed and a link will show to your change on gerrit.
If you realize that you made a mistake in your commit, DO NOT submit a new change. Instead, make your changes, then run:
Code:
git add -A
git commit --amend
Update your commit message if necessary and then push with the pac-review script. This will create a new patchset on our gerrit instead of creating a new commit.
And that is all! If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask them here. Ill try to get back to you as soon as possible

Thanks, I will! I will do everything in my power to make PAC ROM available for my phone! I used to have your PAC 4.3 ROM, which I loved, and that's the reason I really want a KitKat PAC ROM, because KitKat is optimised for phones with low memory, so it'd be awesome to have PAC 4.4 for the old P990.
I shall try to gather the penguins and port PAC to P990!

Sadly enough, P990 isn't on it, but with the help of Metallica and the penguins, maybe we'll be able to make PAC available for the P990 anyway!

If there is a working cm 11 tree available, have a look at the second post on how to add PAC support. It shouldnt be too difficult considering you already have cm11

Help Me out. I am trying to build for Xperia M.
Hi all.
I'd like to build CM10.2.1 from scratch with a few extras like up to date OpenSSH/OpenSSL.
The problem I have no idea whether this is (still) possible and where to start from.
I can see a number of tutorials on how to do it for CM11 or CM12. But there seems to be none for CM10.2.1.
Useless to say, I need CM10.2.1.
Is there any hint on how to?

You're right, I never ran across those. Our n7 came natively with Android 4.3, which would be CM10.3 from my understanding. Are you able to find a manifest for that version? I'm guessing if there have it there, the source code should be somewhere too. Have you tried looking at manifests to see what's the branch name for the code version you're looking for?

Google allows me to find a lot of things. I only would like to get directions for the whole process, not single bits of information.
I mean, here I have directions for CM11 on Nexus 4. But the manifest is just "copy past these lines there", no explanation, no details. just "do it!". But I need to customize the process and the data for flo!

The manifests and readme files for each release are available on CM's github at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android - just change the branch in the dropdown to the one you require (so the ones you're looking for would be at https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android/tree/cm-10.2 ).
Then you're probably fine following any instructions you've got on how to build for this device (e.g. CM's own guide at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_flo), changing any branch references (from cm-11.0 to cm-10.2) as appropriate; for example to initialize the repo you'd use
Code:
$ repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.2
I'd suggest trying to build stock CM10.2 for flo from those instructions first, then once you've resolved any errors that crop up and got it building you can look at adding/amending the bits you want.

Thanks for the hints. In the meanwhile I have found the CM wiki and am studying it.
I'd need to know whether with these directions I will be able to update (for example) the OpenSSH/OpenSSL packages. I can also manually adapt everything (I am not a real newbie) but I'd like to know it in advance.
Thanks again for the infos.
UPDATE! I started following directions from the CM wiki. During the "repo sync" for CM 10.2 I have got stuck because of a DMCA takedown. This is the repo (android_external_svox) and this is the notice. The GitHub is asking me for a password I obviously don't know.
So basically I need to skip that. But don't know how to. Any extra hint?
Code:

I managed to get past the error even if I don't know whether that package (svox) will block my build.
The wiki says to:
Code:
cd ~/android/system/vendor/cm
./get-prebuilts
Unluckily for me neither that directory exists, not the script itself (get-prebuilts) exists.
I used "find" to case insensitively look for it within the ~/android/system tree. No way.

Hi
can someone give me some pointers on how to build LineageOS for SM-T320 mondrianwifi?
I was going by http://wiki.lineageos.org/mondrianwifi_build.html
and was doing fine till the section "Extract proprietary blobs" where i get
errors and can't do this part. I researched the issue i was having and
saw this: "Everyone gets their blobs from TheMuppets on github."
so i setup TheMuppets proprietary_vendor_samsung to sync against and when i
do i get this error every time:
default.xml manifest doesn't exit.
google suggest it is either a corrupted .repo directory or the git branch is incomplete.
I've clearn my build area several times and restarted the repo sync and still get default.xml
is missing when i add TheMuppets repo to sync from, for some reason it deletes the manifest
and i've not found any good workable matches when i search for solutions.
cheers

Good!I want to know what bugs it has,you can upload it to the network hard disk
In the spirit of open-source, if there's one ROM that deserves to be "home-brewed" in addition to AOSP and Lineage, it's LineageOS4Microg. This guide will explain how to do so using Docker. LineageOS and Microg are explained below followed by the guide.

About LineageOS4MicroG & LineageOS
LineageOS unofficial fork with built-in microG gapps implementation.
Full Play Services compatibility [Well-almost...YMMV]
Our ROM has built-in microG free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google's proprietary Android user space apps and libraries. This enables you to use every Google service you need without keeping another closed-source binary blob in your Android system.
Native F-Droid support
LineageOS for microG comes with F-Droid already installed. You can use it to access plenty of FOSS applications or even a Play Store bridge repository like Playmaker or GPlayWeb.
About LineageOS
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

Automatic updates not yet implemented but will be in a future build.
You tell me.
Building Requirements
1. A fast PC or VPS account such as Google Compute Engine. Minimum PC recommended requirements are Intel i5 or equivalent, 4 cores 8 threads minimum (more cores and better CPU recommended), 16GB ram, SSD and 300GB free drive space minimum, fast internet connection (you will download over 30GB of sources).
2. Ubuntu 18.04 is supported here. If you use Windows or another version of Linux, let others know of your tweaks and workarounds.
3. Patience and time. Downloading sources, setting up and building a rom will take hours if not days (depending on your PC hardware and internet speed).
Environment Setup & Build1. Install Docker on Ubuntu (run each command once in terminal)
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install docker.io
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
2. Test that docker is running (run command in terminal)
Code:
docker run hello-world
You should see something like this, "docker run hello-world Unable to find image 'hello-world:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/hello-world ca4f61b1923c: Pull complete Digest: sha256:ca0eeb6fb05351dfc8759c20733c91def84cb8007aa89a5bf606bc8b315b9fc7 Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest Hello from Docker! This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly. ..."
3. Pull lineageos4microg docker onto your pc (run command in terminal)
Code:
docker pull lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd
4. After pull is complete, create the following directories in your home/YOURUSERNAME directory
lineageos4microg
lineageos4microg/src
lineageos4microg/ccache
lineageos4microg/local_manifests
lineageos4microg/keys
lineageos4microg/logs
lineageos4microg/zips
So it might look something like this: home/JoeAndroid/lineageos4microg
5. Copy the 4 attached xml files (bottom of this post) to your local_manifests folder
These are: ocean.xml, include_proprietary.xml, proprietary.xml, and custom_packages.xml
6. In terminal, cd into the lineage4microg folder, and copy and paste the following commands all at once after changing YOURUSERNAME to your username in ubuntu. For an explanation of options, see the link at bottom of post. This code will download sources, sync your repos with newest updates and start your build. This step could take hours. It is downloading sources, syncing repos and building your rom!
Code:
sudo docker run \
-e "BRANCH_NAME=lineage-16.0" \
-e "DEVICE_LIST=ocean" \
-e "SIGN_BUILDS=true" \
-e "SIGNATURE_SPOOFING=restricted" \
-e "WITH_SU=true" \
-e "CUSTOM_PACKAGES=GmsCore GsfProxy FakeStore MozillaNlpBackend NominatimNlpBackend com.google.android.maps.jar FDroid FDroidPrivilegedExtension " \
-e "INCLUDE_PROPRIETARY=false" \
-v "/home/YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/lineage:/srv/src" \
-v "/home/YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/zips:/srv/zips" \
-v "/home/YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/logs:/srv/logs" \
-v "/home/YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/cache:/srv/ccache" \
-v "/home/YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/keys:/srv/keys" \
-v "/home/YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/manifests:/srv/local_manifests" \
lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd
7. Your build should be in the zips folder when complete! Flash in twrp/ofox.
8. If your build fails, check the log in lineageos4microg/logs/ocean folder. If you receive the following error, "Can not locate config makefile for product "lineage_ocean"" you will need to copy the 4 xmls from lineageos4microg/local_manifests to lineageos4microg/manifests.

Thanks, been wanting to try to build this.
I tried am running this on ubuntu 18.04 vm, followed all the instructions.
after I type in the docker commands get this after a few minutes:
sed:can't read build/core/version_defaults.mk:no such file or directory
can't detect the android version.
Any suggestions?

Can you take a picture of the screenshot including how you typed in the commands? Need a bit more info
I just pasted the code changing username screenshot attached

I wonder if it's related to "steve" in your build commands but your username is Steven on the VM?

I did rerun the script with the username steven and it appeared to be working.
went to bed and when i woke up I was excited to see it said build completed. however i could not
find the zip file in the zips folder. looking at the logs error: Can not locate config makefile for product "lineage_ocean".
I saw in the op to move the 4 xml files to manifests dir, however I had gotten permission denied when trying to
copy to the manifests dir. i deleted the dir, recreated the dir and moved the files.
I am going to try building again.

You need to sudo cp -R (drag 4 files to terminal here) /YOURUSERNAME/lineageos4microg/manifests. Then re run script

Thanks for the assistance, I am new to linux, hence the vm. My PC is amd fx8350 chip 8 core, 16 gb ram on win10 pro 64 bit on
PNY 480 gb ssd drive.
Just a few questions: The vm i set up to build this I set at 150gb. Prior to syncing the repos and running
the build script again i had about 135 gb free. It's been on starting build for ocean lineage-16.0 branch
for about 5 hours.
Should it have completed or thrown an error by now?
Also, lineageos4microg folder states it's using 57gb, I now have 32 gb free space 5 hours into build.
Not sure if I should keep waiting to see if build completes?
I have attached the log which i think is for the build in progress.
Thanks again

Not recommended to run in a VM as it will take considerably longer to build but if you have the time (hours, days). As far as hard drive space, 150gb is cutting it very close. Better to have 250gb minimum. Don't know if you'll have enough. As far as your log and actual build, it's building! Congrats. If you scroll down to the bottom of your log, you'll see it's at 23%.

Yes, as I feared i did run out space, but at least I know it was building. I may try to install ubuntu in a dual boot.
Thanks

Awww... Well I had that happen before. Even if you have an old platter hdd (not ssd) as long as it's got the GBs of space it will take a little longer to build but for these purposes will do just fine. I use both SSD and hdds to build.
Got my dual boot set up. First tried Ubuntu but it kept locking up, went with Linux mint. Got a 250 GB partition, going to give it another go tommorow.
View attachment 4980819well, after switching from VM to dual boot, I gave it another go, and i got a msg in linux mint that i ran out of space about 3 1/2 hrs into build. I had set up 250gb partition as you suggested. I did 30gb root, 220 GB home,4 GB swap.
Can you take a look at the logs, i'm not clear looking at logs how much of build completed.
There was the zip file about 604 mb in the zips folder, which I could open(along with an sha and md5 files, which i dont know anything about.) I'm thinking possibly the build completed despite the warning in linux about running of free space.
I shrank the /root partition in gparted to 20gb and tried to extend the extra 10gb to home, but i couldn't.
Is it possible to specify 25gb ccache in the docker script somehow so that instead of the 50 it seems to allocate, maybe that will solve the space issue?
Thanks again, looks like progress.
Freed up some more space for build, now when trying to sync repos i get this msg Missing "vendor/lineage", aborting.
suggestions?

I looked at the last lines in your log... it looks like it built. Did you check your zips folder?
boot.img already exists, no need to overwrite...
dtbo.img already exists, no need to overwrite...
system.img already exists, no need to overwrite...
vendor.img already exists, no need to overwrite...
Total of 704512 4096-byte output blocks in 23 input chunks.
Total of 147456 4096-byte output blocks in 13 input chunks.
done.

Thanks, yes there was a zip there, wasnt sure if it was safe to flash, with the error space ran out ,but figured build did complete, as the zip wasnt corrupted.
As far as repo error:
"OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/srv/src/LINEAGE_16_0/device/generic/mini-emulator-arm64/.git.tmp'
error: Cannot checkout bernie-nix/android_device_motorola_sdm632-common-1: ManifestInvalidRevisionError: revision lineage-16.0 in bernie-nix/android_device_motorola_sdm632-common-1 not found
error: in `sync -c --force-sync`: revision lineage-16.0 in bernie-nix/android_device_motorola_sdm632-common-1 not found.
I did switch to the ocean.xml listed in your other thread posted by dark98 and the repo did sync., but I didn't proceed with the build.
Thanks again for all your help, think i will try to dirty flash my succesful build over yours, unless i should clean flash.

Yes, use the other xml if you want. They should both be about the same...you might even get updated sources, you might not...but it should build. I looked at the error above. The only suggestion I would make in your current xml if you want to continue using it is to remove revision="lineage-16.0" on the bernie-nix/android_device_motorola_sdm632-common-1 entry. As far as the zip that completed, how big is it?

The zip was 604mb, i did successfully flash it, thanks again for your help and guide building my first rom!
so the xml file should be edited to:
<project name="bernie-nix/android_device_motorola_sdm632-common-1" path="device/motorola/sdm632-common" remote="github"/>
?
btw, i don't see your repos on github anymore.
