Way of the Mal for Sony Open Devices

hybris aosp build instructions

Before we start you need to have a working AOSP image for 6.0.1_r80 m-mr1, flash it to the device and make sure it boots

Follow the Sailfish OS HADK until section 5 to get your initial environment set up
In Section 5.1 we want to use the aosp 6 branch so do this instead:
repo init -u git://github.com/mer-hybris/android.git -b hybris-sony-aosp-6.0.1_r80-20170902

Sort out a local manifest with the platform and device repo for your device 
eg. local_manifests/shinano.xml below.
mkdir $ANDROID_ROOT/.repo/local_manifests

Do HADK section 5.3 and sort out the mountpoints, if you had some from a cm12 build they will need to change.
# TODO: link to scorpion mountpoints example

Install unzip:
sudo apt-get install unzip

Download the AOSP Marshmallow (Android 6.0.1) Binaries for your device from:
 https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/

Unzip its contents in the $ANDROID_ROOT directory like this:
unzip ~/Downloads/SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_*.zip

source build/envsetup.sh
export USE_CCACHE=1
lunch
*choose your device from the menu, it will be its model name*
make -j4 hybris-hal

For 32bit devices there is a small bug in the kernel see this commit for details:
#TODO: push kernel syscalls fix 

Continue on with the HADK from 5.4.1 onwards, everything else is as per usual.

When it comes to build the middleware, you need to build the minimalhooks branch of libhybris.
Build droidmedia and audioflinger glue as per hadk and faq.
