Full AOSP source to build XPOSED? #9

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Do I need to download the full AOSP source to build XPosed from source??? Im kinda confused about this point.

rovo89 commented 8 years ago

Yes, like mentioned in the readme you need the full AOSP source code.

That's a pain for people like me who want to build a custom version of Xposed! How inefficient is that??? Any suggestions on how to bypass downloading aosp source? @rovo89

Don't be lazy? Like this really isn't an issue. Xposed integrates deeply within android so you really can't get around having to download it.

rovo89 commented 8 years ago

It's not my fault and I can't change this. Big parts of Xposed are modified ART libraries and app_process binary, both are based on AOSP and obviously have deep dependencies to many other AOSP projects. You will also notice this when you start to build Xposed (or even just the original AOSP ART), it will compile many other prerequisites.

I would love to avoid these huge downloads and especially the disk space, but I can't. The only thing I do to reduce the space needed is using -g default,platform-linux,-device,-darwin,-cts for repo init. The first two the defaults, and I ask it not to sync projects with groups device, darwin and cts in the manifest.xml.

Ok, didn't know that. No it's a huge issue for me. Seeing as I am not able to run Linux on my PC and I do want to build Xposed for myself. But anyways thanks for all the info! Will look for a way!;) Xposed is really really awesome btw! @rovo89
