[Android General] Techguy777:
Yes but what I read was Jesus Freke however he spells is was the first one to find out how to root it which is a really big deal. If I or you were the first person to ever root Android we would be proud of that. You say you been doing this over a decade over 10 years kinda weird Android is only about 10 years old maybe you got in on ground level with the Google team and g1 back in 2007 I don't know. I really don't understand why you keep saying that I should get rid of Shamu what for it's just one of about 7 devices I have there's no point in getting rid of it because I didn't pay crap really it was in around about way free. I won a lawsuit and used about 50 dollars to buy it off my brother so it's definitely worth 50 bucks it was a 2 year trade in and the guy keep it in great condition that my brother got it from. I would go out and get a new note 10 at the end of this year if I had the money for sure.

Go head I'm listening what updates have I missed that pie has that are so great? I also am interested in the android Q updates there's really not to much from what's out right now but I'm sure more to come but I'm listening tell me all about it. The kernel I'm using now never boots in a later version of Android 90 percent of the time if your on Oreo you can't use it's kernel to boot pie why is that different than what it's always been? What kernel am I using that won't boot what? Really the best Android update was Dex for Samsung in my opinion and that's probably why Android Q is following suit with talk of something similar. The new phones are almost a pc to being with they have 6 to 8 gb of ddr4 ram and 5g will blow away home wifi which is crazy.

For anyone not sure how to make a rom that boots with emulator it's because the rom has to be made to boot emulator your system img is built different than a userdebug rom. The lunch full rng is the command to build a system img that will boot up with the emulator off AOSP. I'll tell if you if lineage works like that to I just finished flashing lineage Oreo to Nexus 6 now I'm going to go back back and build a system img to boot emulator. Resremix will follow that and so on and so forth.

This will speed up your building big time if you rebuilt the same rom but does require more hard drive space I use 50gb but 10 to 50 should work. Change 20g to whatever you want. These are terminal commands from working directory before building rom. I put lunch Shamu userdebug command in then built that room deleted folders and files then built full eng rom which remakes system img and it takes just as long as building the whole rom about 1 and half hours.

export USE_CCACHE=1

ccache -M 20G

.build/envsetup.sh

set_stuff_for_environment

lunch full-eng

Make -j

Emulator

The make command is complex because they make it harder than it is on Android open source. It's basically how many threads you have so if you have 1 CPU with 4 cores and hyperthreading like i7 than you make -j8 4 cores times 2 . If you're smart though you won't do that either I have 6 cores with 6 threads I make -j4 because you need some cores to run your system otherwise you might error out. I would still recommend make -j6 even if you have hyperthreading. I built 3 different roms now and they all finished in about 1 and half hours total on HDD no errors. Ran great on phone no lag or problems.

to get the system.img to rebuild, you need to remove the following files/directories:

out/target/product/generic/obj/PACKAGING/ out/target/product/generic/system.img

Then simply repeat:

make -j

Emulator

Good luck.
