ack-build-workflow

A github workflow to build custom android common kernels with specified parameters

How to use this?

Fork this repo, open the 'Actions' tab in your fork and run the only workflow there

These parameters are by default configured for chickernel, however, they can be configured for any ACK if you know what you're doing.

Parameters:

• 🔴 Android-common-kernel branch:

  • ACK branch to use (e.g. common-android13-5.15)
  • Google provides a list of possible ACK branches here
  • This is used for the build workspace (prebuilts, external, build)

  default: common-android13-5.15

• 🔴 Custom kernel repository:

  • Git URL leading to your custom kernel repository

  default: chickernel

• 🔴 Custom kernel repository branch:

  • Branch to use from your custom kernel repository

  default: android13-5.15-lts

• 🔴 Use the latest clang prebuilts

  • If enabled, will override the ACK manifest to use upstream branch of clang/host/linux-x86 prebuilts
  • On newer branches, select this strictly only if your build.config.constants uses the upstream clang toolchain.

  default: yes

• 🟡 Space-separated AnyKernel3 fork URL + (optional) branch:

  • Git URL leading to your AK3 fork, and optionally branch
  • Used in post-build to package the kernel image(s)

  default: chickernel AK3 fork

• 🟡 Kernel image to package:

  • Decides what image type is packaged with AK3
  • This allows for using compressed Image.<xxx> or Image.<xxx>-dtb

  default: Image

• 🟢 Instruct tools to perform a Fast Build:

  • If enabled, will perform a shorter build at the cost of skiping few optimizations.
  • Depending on the build system used, this can affect LTO configuration or build features

  default: yes

• 🟢 Use kleaf build system instead of build script:

  • Whenever to build using kleaf (bazel) instead of build.sh
  • Requires a different build configuration type (not starting with build.config...)

  default: no

• 🟢 Extra arguments that will be passed to build system/script

  • Input your extra arguments to pass to the build, if any
  • Examples: BUILD_CONFIG_FRAGMENTS= (build.sh), --verbose_failures (kleaf)

  default: <none>

• 🟢 Space-separated list of build configurations:

  default: chickernel vanilla, ksu, ksu + susfs

Notes

Android common kernels above common-android13-5.15 don't have build.sh support, and building without kleaf may not be possible. Make sure to select building with kleaf if that's the case.

By default, this GitHub workflow will retain artifacts for 30 days. You can increase or remove this expiration period if you need to by modifying the retention-days value in build.yml.

Also, this github workflow has reached the input limitation (10) and adding more is not possible traditionally (that's why AK3 has merged branch).
