# Build Bliss OS 14.x

# Starting Off

We also offer Android-Generic Project 2.0 as an easy to learn method of building Android 11 for PC's. Checkout the project README.md for more info.

Download the BlissRoms source code, based on AOSP, phhusson & BlissRoms

Please read the AOSP building instructions before proceeding.

# What you need to build BlissOS

Latest Ubuntu LTS Releases https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
Decent CPU (Dual Core or better for a faster performance)
8GB RAM (16GB for Virtual Machine)
250GB Hard Drive (about 170GB for the Repo and then building space needed)

Installing Java 8

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk/ppa
sudo apt-get update && upgrade
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
update-alternatives --config java  (make sure Java 8 is selected)

If you plan on building the kernel with the NO_KERNEL_CROSS_COMPILE flag, you will need to also have gcc-10+ installed:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-10 g++-10

# Initializing Repository

Repo initialization :

## Releases Repo ##
$ repo init -u https://github.com/BlissRoms-x86/manifest.git -b r11-r36

sync repo :

$ repo sync -c --force-sync --no-tags --no-clone-bundle -j$(nproc --all) --optimized-fetch --prune

# Options

NO_KERNEL_CROSS_COMPILE - For some kernels, we use gcc-10 to compile. And some setups will require this flag to be added to compile the kernel properly. 
BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT - (vanilla, gapps, foss) - We currently use this to specify what type of extra apps and services to iunclude in the build. 

# Building

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch android_x86_64-userdebug
$ export NO_KERNEL_CROSS_COMPILE=true
$ export BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT=foss
$ mka iso_img

# Extras

For many cases, we do offer a number of "extras" that can be compiled into the builds :

libndk-translation - This is the ARM/ARM64 native-bridge we use in our builds. It will require some setup to include. See the project readme. - https://gitlab.com/android-generic/android_vendor_google_emu-x86
gapps - USE_EMU_GAPPS=true (combine with BLISS_BUILD_VARIANT=gapps) - from Googles emulator images - Also included in https://gitlab.com/android-generic/android_vendor_google_emu-x86
houdini - This is another ARM/ARM64 native-bridge we can use in our builds. It will require some setup to include. See the project readme. - https://github.com/BlissRoms-x86/android_vendor_google_chromeos-x86
Gearlock - This is the recovery of choice for Android-x86 based builds. To include in builds: git clone https://github.com/axonasif/gearlock vendor/gearlock
Boringdroid - We include the needed commits for all Boringdroid addons in Bliss. To include those into the builds: git clone https://github.com/boringdroid/vendor_boringdroid vendor/boringdroid && git clone https://github.com/boringdroid/vendor_prebuilts_bdapps vendor/prebuilts/bdapps
rusty-magisk - (INCLUDED) This is how we are adding Magisk as superuser in our builds. - https://github.com/axonasif/rusty-magisk
