Building CipherOS

  • CipherOS is an Android Custom OS based on AOSP, designed to provide users with a clean, bloat-free, and sturdy experience with minimal customization.

  • CipherOS is totally opensource & here's how you can build it.

Initializing & Syncing the Repo

First, initialize the CipherOS repository and sync the source code.

1. Initialize the repo

Run the following command in your terminal: 

repo init -u https://github.com/CipherOS/android_manifest.git -b fifteen

2. Sync the source code

This command fetches all the required repositories: 

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

Building the ROM

1. Set up the environment

Run the environment setup script: 

. build/envsetup.sh

2. Choose a target device

Replace $device_codename with your actual device codename: 

lunch cipher_($device_codename)-ap3a-userdebug

3. Compile CipherOS

Start the build process: 

mka bacon -j$(nproc --all)
