Getting Started The XPerience Project

You must be running a 64-bit Linux distribution and must have installed some packages to build The XPerience Project. Google recommends using Ubuntu for this and provides instructions for setting up the system (with Ubuntu-specific commands) on the Android Open Source Project website.

To initialize your local repository using the XOSP trees, use a command like this:

  $ mkdir XPe
  $ cd XPe
  $ repo init -u git://github.com/XPerience-AOSP-Lollipop/Manifest.git -b xpe-12.1

Then to sync up:

  repo sync -j<number_of_threads>

Building The XPerience Project for your device

Build Environment

• Tested and Working on any version of Ubuntu - 15.10 & 16.04 16.10 (64-bit)
• Any other distribution based of the Ubuntu Distro such as Lubuntu, Xubuntu and etc.
• A Terminal window
• A Good specs of hardware like 8 GB of RAM and an Intel I3 dual core (Minimum)
• A storage unit of any kind (minimum 100 GB). It would be better to use SSD because is more fast during the compliation process
• Some dependencies that should be installed

Dependencies for Linux or Dependencies for Mac

Building The XPerience Project ROM for your device

• Preparing Required Binaries and Device Drivers
• Set CCache for Faster Building (Optional)
• Build phase

Set CCache

  $ export USE_CCACHE=1
  $ prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 150G

Congratulations,the sources are initialized!

To build The XPerience Project ROM

The bundled builder tool ./rom-build.sh handles all the building steps for the specified device automatically. As the device value, you just feed it with the device codename (for example, 'Addison' for the Moto Z Play).

  # Automatic script
  $ ./rom-build.sh codename
  # Example
  $ ./rom-build.sh addison

OR

  # Manually
  $ . build/envsetup.sh
  $ lunch codename-userdebug #only if we support your device if not clone manually and do
  $ lunch xpe_codename-userdebug or breakfast codename
  $ make bacon -j<number_of_threads>
