first you need to initialize a build environment...not going into detail there cause there are multiple threads and sites that can service you there....soo...once you have a build enviro. set up...
open a terminal
type:
mkdir -p ~/liquid
type :
cd liquid (or what ever you named your directory to build from, mine is called liquid so ill refer to it as that some name it android)
now you need to download the sources for cm so...
type:
repo init -u git://github.com/LiquidSmooth/android.git -b lollipop
let it do its thing ....once it finishes you will need to place a roomservice.xml in the liquid/.repo/local_manifests directory ..... i am building for sprint so mine will be a little different if you are building for another variant ..... but ill post it to serve as an example of what you need
my roomservice.xml
once you have the roomservice.xml for your device in the local_manifests directory....you are ready to sync...so now...
type:
repo sync -j6 (i use -j6 but basically the number here represents the number of jobs your computer can handle ...the better the computer the more you can handle but choosing too high of a number will make everything sluggish and will take longer...using -j6 works for me yours might be higher or lower)
so now its syncing it will take a few so can watch it scroll or come back n a few to check on it....once syncing completes....you can begin to edit & build if everything is in place....so...
Go to liquid/device/samsung/qcom-common
and rename cm.dependencies to liquid.dependencies
now go to vendor/liquid/vendorsetup.sh and add this to it if it isnt already present
add_lunch_combo liquid_trltespr-userdebug
note: if already present no worries just exit....also depending on which device...you would want to change trltespr to whatever device name you are building for...so now the editing is complete...
type:
. build/envsetup.sh
type:
lunch
now select the number that corresponds with the device you are building for..literally type the number in
type:
make liquid -j6 (i use -j6 but basically the number here represents the number of jobs your computer can handle ...the better the computer the more you can handle but choosing too high of a number will make everything sluggish and will take longer...using -j6 works for me yours might be higher or lower)
now it will begin building and you can either watch the progress or walk off and come back and check on it... mind you there could be errors then you will have to scroll through or search for them and fix them... hope this helps a bit
