BuilduntuVM is a custom branch of the Ubuntu operating system for compiling Android ROMs from source. It includes everything you need to sync with the repo of your choice (Cyanogenmod, AOSP, etc) and start building.

Features:

- Xubuntu 16.04 base

- Installed all necessary software for compiling (list available in the guide link above)

- Unnecessary programs removed (media players, games etc.)

- Geany for editing code

- Repo located in ~/bin and added to PATH

- Quick access drop-down terminal (Ctrl-F12)

All you have to do is download the source!

The only requirement is that your host machine supports a 64 bit OS.

32 bit systems will not work!

Instructions:

1. Download and install VirtualBox for your host system from here.

2. Download the latest builduntu zip archive and extract builduntu.ova to your hard drive.

3. Start VB, click File > Import Appliance. Select "Open Appliance" and choose builduntu.ova, then click Next to import the virtual machine.

4. Highlight builduntu in VirtualBox Manager and open Settings. Under "System" you will want to give it more RAM and Processor Cores. The higher these values are, the faster you will compile ROMs.

5. Start the machine, pull up a terminal and initialize a git repo. Once the source is finished downloading, you're ready to go!
