#Downloading a ROM Source

  • This is important to do before cloning the device specific trees

But before that we need to configure our git as shown below Open the command line. Set your username:

git config --global user.name "FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME"

Set your email address:

git config --global user.email "MY_NAME@example.com"

Some Popular ROMs

Now find the GitHub org of the ROM you need to build and sync it like shown below

# we need to make a folder for the ROM first (Example LineageOS)
mkdir Lineage

# Connect your Github account.
git config --global user.name "FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME" git config --global user.email "YOUR EMAIL"

# Go to ROM folder.
cd lineage

# Now we need to initialize LineageOS Source
# For that, go the LineageOS git and find the manifest (https://github.com/LineageOS/android this may vary from ROM to ROM)
# Choose the Branch (this is actually the version of android)
# Let's choose Android 10, so as an example the branch here would be "lineage-17.1"

# So it goes like:
repo init -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-17.1

# As an alternative you can do a shallow clone to reduce size of the source..
# A Shallow Clone only clones the source with the last commit history specified

repo init --depth=1 -u git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git -b lineage-17.1


# And to Sync it
repo sync

This would actually depend on your internet speed.. the size of the LineageOS repo would be around 60GB or more, probably
