Build AICP for Xperia Z1 Compact

Build instructions to compile AICP from scratch, using a reproducable lxc container setup. This guide is dedicated for the Xperia Z1 Compact device, which is also known as amami or d5503. It will use ubuntu as an LXC container, so your host system does not matter as long as it has lxc installed properly. Ubuntu is the choice here, because it's the preferred distribution in the Sony Xperia AOSP build instructions and also in the official AOSP documentation.

Setup LXC container

Create an LXC container with ubuntu installed. If xenial is not used by default, pass -- -r xenial to the lxc-create command.

lxc-create -n aicp -t ubuntu

Change container config to use the host network

sed -i "s/lxc.network.type = empty/lxc.network.type = none/g" /var/lib/lxc/aicp/config

Start and attach the new session

lxc-start  -n aicp
lxc-attach -n aicp

If the container does not receive any default nameserver, add a default nameserver on every login and re-attach the container.

echo 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf' >> /root/.bashrc && exit
lxc-attach -n aicp

Setup Ubuntu

Update all packages and install the required build dependencies.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install bc bison bsdmainutils build-essential curl flex gcc-multilib \
    git g++-multilib gnupg gperf imagemagick lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline6-dev \
    lib32z1-dev libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libssl-dev \
    libwxgtk3.0-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop make openjdk-8-jdk pngcrush repo \
    rsync schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev

Setup the Build Environment

Add a build user and initialize all git repositories.

adduser build
su -l build

git config --global user.email "build@aicp"
git config --global user.name "Build User"

repo init -u https://github.com/AICP/platform_manifest.git -b n7.1

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-7.1.2_r29

Add sony's custom manifest which contains specific data for xperia devices.

cd .repo
git clone https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/local_manifests
cd local_manifests
git checkout n-mr1_3.10
cd ~

Grab the Sony AOSP binaries and place them in ~/ of your build user. The binaries can be found on the official sonyxperiadev website: Download AOSP Binararies for Xperia Devices

unzip SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_*.zip

Add proprietary blobs to get the modem working (gsm/umts/lte/4g)

git clone "https://github.com/SonyAosp/vendor_qcom_firmware" vendor/qcom/firmware

Download

This will download up to 50GB of source code. Have a break ;)

repo sync

In case you already messed something up, you might want to use the forced mode instead.

repo sync --force-sync

Optional - Add/Remove Apps

This is an example on how to include LineageOS apps or remove any apps during the build process.

cd packages/apps
git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Browser.git Browser
git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_CMFileManager.git CMFileManager
cd

cd external
git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_external_libtruezip.git libtruezip
git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_external_cyanogen_UICommon.git UICommon

Add Browser, CMFileManager to PRODUCT_PACKAGES and/or remove Browser2, Launcher2 and QuickSearchBar if you don't want to use them.

vim build/target/product/core.mk

Rebuild the Kernel

Sony uses a prebuild Kernel per default, but this kernel won't boot any amami device. We need to remove the prebuilt in order recompile a working one.

rm -r device/sony/common-kernel

Compile

Replace -j4 with the number of the CPU Cores you have.

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
make -j4 otapackage

Flash

In case the update.zip won't work due to a broken recovery image, just flash the raw data directly via fastboot.

fastboot –S 256M flash boot out/target/product/<device>/boot.img
fastboot –S 256M flash system out/target/product/<device>/system.img
fastboot –S 256M flash userdata out/target/product/<device>/userdata.img
fastboot –S 256M flash recovery out/target/product/<device>/recovery.img

Build LineageOS for Xperia Z1 Compact

Build instructions to compile LineageOS from scratch, using a reproducable lxc container setup. This guide is dedicated for the Xperia Z1 Compact device, which is also known as amami or d5503. It will use ubuntu as an LXC container, so your host system does not matter as long as it has lxc installed properly. Ubuntu is the choice here, because it's the preferred distribution in the Sony Xperia AOSP build instructions and also in the official AOSP documentation.

Setup LXC container

Create an LXC container with ubuntu installed. If xenial is not used by default, pass -- -r xenial to the lxc-create command.

lxc-create -n lineage -t ubuntu

Change container config to use the host network

sed -i "s/lxc.network.type = empty/lxc.network.type = none/g" /var/lib/lxc/lineage/config

Start and attach the new session

lxc-start  -n lineage
lxc-attach -n lineage

If the container does not receive any default nameserver, add a default nameserver on every login and re-attach the container.

echo 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf' >> /root/.bashrc && exit
lxc-attach -n lineage

Setup Ubuntu

Update all packages and install the required build dependencies.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install bc bison bsdmainutils build-essential curl flex gcc-multilib \
    git g++-multilib gnupg gperf imagemagick lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline6-dev \
    lib32z1-dev libesd0-dev liblz4-tool libncurses5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libssl-dev \
    libwxgtk3.0-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop make openjdk-8-jdk pngcrush repo \
    rsync schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev

Setup the Build Environment

Add a build user and initialize all git repositories.

adduser build
su -l build

git config --global user.email "build@lineage"
git config --global user.name "Build User"

repo init -u https://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b cm-14.1

Copy los_amami.xml into the local_manifests directory to add support for amami (Xperia Z1 Compact) devices.

mkdir .repo/local_manifests
mv los_amami.xml .repo/local_manifests

Grab the Sony AOSP binaries and place them in ~/ of your build user. The binaries can be found on the official sonyxperiadev website: Download AOSP Binararies for Xperia Devices

unzip SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_*.zip

Download

This will download up to 50GB of source code. Have a break ;)

repo sync

In case you already messed something up, you might want to use the forced mode instead.

repo sync --force-sync

Compile

Replace -j4 with the number of the CPU Cores you have and 12G with the amount of RAM you would like to use during the build. Set -M 50G to the amount of storage that ccache is allowed to use.

export USE_CCACHE=1
export ANDROID_JACK_VM_ARGS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -XX:+TieredCompilation -Xmx12G"
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch lineage_amami-userdebug
make bacon -j4

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any ninja_wrapper errors, disable ninja and try to build again.

export USE_NINJA=false
