[Pie][2020/04/15] /e/ unofficial rom GSI

Discovering /e/
https://e.foundation

/e/ is a lineage fork that aims at bringing a very unified experience entirely based on open source softwares (as Google less as possible) and usable by anybody:
It comes with its own store, the MicroG suite (that still relies on google to ensure compatibility with not open sourced apps), a K9 fork for mails, task (open task), note (nextcloud notes), contact, calendar (etar) all of them unified by the /e/ account manager: add your account once and for all. You can also use your own server (not mandatory) instead of the ecloud server (based on nextcloud), use your nextcloud server if you have one, or don't use any server at all.
Ecloud provides 5 gB of storage for free that can be extended.

The only not opensource app is Magic Earth for maps because it provides a better user experience than currently available open source apps. If you want to use an open source app for maps, have a look at OSMAnd and the fork of Maps.me available on fdroid and /e/ apps store
I've built a minimal version of /e/ without the LibreOfficeViewer app you can find directly on the store
This was built thanks to PHH-Treble and AndyYan scripts you can find here:

Follow linage tutorial from "install-the-build-packages" to "Initialize the LineageOS source repository" (don't do this last part, we will init /e/ repository instead)

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/build#install-the-build-packages

We need to init /e/ repo

create a folder on a disk with at least 150 gB of free space, perhaps even 200gB

mkdir e
cd e
repo init -u https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android.git -b v1-pie


git clone https://github.com/phief/e_gsi_localmanifest .repo/local_manifests


repo sync -j2


Once it has completed

bash treble_build_los/apply_patches.sh

This will patch Lineage, thank you AndyCGYan and PHHusson for them

Some basic optimisation (optionnal):

export USE_CCACHE=1
prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache -M 50G

ccache makes future builds faster but requires disk space and will make the first build a bit slower

First, select the flavor you want to build

treble_arm64_aeN-userdebug for arm64 a-only
treble_arm64_beN-userdebug for arm64 a/b
treble_arm_aeN-userdebug for arm a-only

Prepare to build

source build/envsetup.sh
lunch your-flavor

Start the build process:

make WITHOUT_CHECK_API=true systemimage

the resulting system image will be in

out/target/product/your-flavor/system.img
