Hi,

My daily activities this week sums up as follows:

April 25: updated local Lineage OS source tree, tried to figure out reason of compile failure
April 26: scrolled back in AOSP compile log to find error, fixed error by cleaning work directory
April 27: successfully compiled ROM package, backed-up old data on phone
April 28: installed fastboot driver on Windows, flashed newest TWRP, flashed ROM package, tested for functionality
April 29: tweaked kernel options (fixing compile errors in the process), added hook before initramfs generation, set up GitHub repo forks
April 30: blogged about progress, cleaned up bookmarks for articles to read

The blog post that logs the details is at [1].

Thanks in advance!

Hi Pengcheng,

Looks good to me.  Looking forward to your UART and init hacks.

Will you please add the reference articles in your blog post?

Is it possible to raise this issue to google?

  e.g. https://source.android.com/setup/contribute/report-bugs

Please open a bug report to remind the ARM team to update stage3
tarballs.

The init hacks are in this week's work. I won't be able to get the
UART cable that my friend made until May 12th, though. I'll mention how
it goes when I get the cable, so stay tuned.

I've linked the referred articles inline; is that not enough (and I need to
Explicitly list the references at the end of the article)?

The problem is that I can't find a repository for angler's kernel source at
https://android.googlesource.com/ , and angler is approaching its EOL deadline;
what's more, the problems I encounter are located in the sources that are not
used by Android (they're off in the device defconfig). I'll try though, but I
don't expect much in this.

Never mind, I thought you had another list of "bookmarks for articles to
read".

Okay, thanks for clarifying.
