Building CalyxOS

Short version

  • This assumes you have an AOSP build environment already setup and have built it before. If you have not, for full instructions see Building CalyxOS

Steps:

  1. Initialize and sync the source code.
    • repo init --git-lfs -u https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/platform_manifest -b android14
    • repo sync
  2. Obtain proprietary files for your device
    • ./calyx/scripts/pixel/device.sh akita (akita for Pixel 8a)
  3. Build
    • source build/envsetup.sh
    • breakfast akita user (akita for Pixel 8a, ` user is used for release builds, you can use userdebug for development builds.)
    • m
  4. Install
    • fastboot flashall (Run this in the same shell where you ran the build)

Long version: See Building CalyxOS

Signing builds

Once you have built the OS, you will need to sign it to be able to lock the bootloader. For full instructions, see Signing CalyxOS builds
