I decided to make this into a actually reasonable ‘Bulding LOS’ guide.
Best Computer OS to build LineageOS is Ubuntu, or something Ubuntu-based.
I used Zorin OS 17 with 16GB of RAM. If you decide to use a OS that is not Ubuntu or Debian, I can't really provide much support to you, and you'll have to research the correct way to install the required packages on your system.

-Basing my guide off of this guide.
-I have a GitHub repository here that provides additional resources.
Use apt to install the required packages
If you're on Ubuntu 23.04 or lower, check this:
And also, building for different LineageOS versions require different JDK versions:
Make the directories
Install the repo command
Configure git
Initialize LFS (Large Freaky Straws) and turn on ccache
Initialize LineageOS 20 using
Sync the repo with
.
THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE, (i guess depends on your internet, but for most, you should just) END YOUR 3000 HOUR COMPUTER STREAK AND GO LAY IN THE GRASS!!!
Once that’s finished, search GitHub for your device’s vendor, device, and kernel repos. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THESE REPOS, YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD. Once you have those, modify this file to fit your needs. For the SM-T113/T116NU, you can use this for vendor, this for device, and this for kernel.
Download the example.xml and open it in a text editor.
[Take a peek at this:
See how it says cm-14.1?
Whatever it says there for the repository(s) you've found replaces EXAMPLE_BRANCH. Remember that each different repository for the device, vendor, and kernel will not always have the same branch name.
and
Let's start with the EXAMPLE_MANUFACTURER_in_lowercase:
This one is somewhat obvious. The device that you're building for's manufacturer. Samsung devices are samsung, LG is lge, and so on. Whatever the manufacturer is, goes here, but in all lowercase.
Now, the EXAMPLE_DEVICE_CODENAME_in_lowercase:
This one is also pretty obvi. Your device's codename, again in lowercase. You should already know this, as this is the key to finding the correct repo links.
Easy. EXAMPLE_GITHUB USERNAME would be the username of the person who created the repository. For example, in sixito007/android_vendor_samsung_goyave3g, sixito007 would be the EXAMPLE_GITHUB_USERNAME.
EXAMPLE_GITHUB_REPO follows similar directions. In that same example, android_vendor_samsung_goyave3g would be the EXAMPLE_GITHUB_REPO
After that’s all done, save the file to ~/.repo/local_manifests/devicecodename.xml (create local_manifests folder if it doesn’t exist)
<br>
Obviously devicecodename would be your device’s codename, in my case goyave3g.xml
Then rerun
This time around it won’t take as long.
Now, you need to go into ~/android/lineage and finish setting up the environment:
I'm back to continuemy our Lineage journey in figuring out what works and what don't.
BIG UPDATE: I got the thermal paste! My PC is back in business, and after school I can get back in the game and post live updates. We’re getting LineageOS for the T113! Even if it takes a few kinks to work out.
Update 2: HUGE THANKS to @amarithetopg for building this on his PC, little by little, we're getting it done.
Update 3: I've started building again! Let's see how this goes. @parrots_ is also on the mission, so big thanks to him, we can compare errors together.

Setting up the system
Use apt to install the required packages
Code:
sudo apt install bc bison build-essential ccache curl flex g++-multilib gcc-multilib git git-lfs gnupg gperf imagemagick lib32readline-dev lib32z1-dev libelf-dev liblz4-tool libsdl1.2-dev libssl-dev libxml2 libxml2-utils lzop pngcrush rsync schedtool squashfs-tools xsltproc zip zlib1g-dev libncurses5 python-is-python3 -yIf you're on Ubuntu 23.04 or lower, check this:
And also, building for different LineageOS versions require different JDK versions:
- LineageOS 18.1+: OpenJDK 11 (included in source download)
- LineageOS 16.0-17.1: OpenJDK 1.9 (included in source download)
- LineageOS 14.1-15.1: OpenJDK 1.8 (install
openjdk-8-jdk)- NOTE: For building 14.1-15.1 you’ll need to remove TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 from jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms in /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security.
- LineageOS 11.0-13.0: OpenJDK 1.7 (install
openjdk-7-jdk)*
Make the directories
Code:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/lineage
Code:
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Code:
git config --global user.email "me@naazimapps.com"
git config --global user.name "Kwahli Naazim"
Code:
git lfs install
git config --global trailer.changeid.key "Change-Id"

export CCACHE_EXEC=/usr/bin/ccache
