TLG's Linago Distro 😎

Hello there (future me probably) 👋 - this is my fork of LineageOS that will allow me easily build it and make some small modifications

What to fork?? How to modify stuff??

Main repo to fork turned out to be this - it contains default.xml file that google's repo listens to to pull EVERYTHING else

• Main way of me modifing lineage's stuff is to modify said file to point to my forks - for example, if I wanted to modify SystemUI app, I would:

  1. Fork LineageOS/android_frameworks_base
  2. Modify stuff in packages/SystemUI
  3. Switch <project path="frameworks/base" name="LineageOS/android_frameworks_base" groups="pdk-cw-fs,pdk-fs" /> in default.xml to point to my fork instead
  4. ...then keep merging Lineage's frameworks into mine and hope nothing conflicts

• Second way, if something is small enough, I will apply patches/stuff through scripts ran just after repo sync

• Third way (not to modify but add more stuff, like external pre-installed apps) will be to add their repo manifests to .repo/local_manifests/

How to start

Create a lineage folder here, cd to it, and then run:

repo init -u https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/android.git -b lineage-20.0 --git-lfs
repo sync

Modifications that were done

MicroG

• manifest pointing to TheLastGimbus/android_vendor_partner_gms that contains prebuilts of MicroG and manifests on where repo should put them
• patch files in microg-patches/ stolen from https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd/tree/master/src/signature_spoofing_patches
  • i just manually download android_frameworks_base-Android13.patch and put it here bc it's already unstable enough to fool ourselfs into automatically pulling this repo or smth
• post-repo-microg-patch.sh script that applies the patches
