Fixes

SeLinux folder (by GabrielHoward)

AndroidWorkspace / capire-le-treble / extra / tmp / system / etc

remove selinux folder and pu the new

Give persmission to tmp folder:

sudo chmod -R 777 tmp

Error unexpected (in building..):

go to: Android WorkSpace / P semiGSI / systemimgmaker / in.sh

put a ! in front of # (should be like this: #!/bin/bash)
