anyone tried building android for their device on a sub-stellar PC? my phone doesn’t have LOS21/A14 available so I tried the build-it-yourself route… dios mio, this takes eons!
I know it’s a huge code base, but I had no concept of the size… I’ve left it syncing the repo like two hours ago and it’s at 10%. no idea if it’s gonna build at all and if it takes a day to download the thing and another one to build it (Ryzen 5) maybe I should go look for a $100 replacement that still gets LineageOS.
You can snag a Pixel 6a on Swappa for about $100. I looked into compiling the OS once, and it wasn’t worth it for me (on an i9 w/ 16GB RAM and a SSD, still would take days).
