Open Devices
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
AOSP build instructions
Below you find step-by-step guides to how to build AOSP for unlocked Xperia devices. You will also get instructions for how to prepare your environment and download all necessary tools. Since we add new devices and software patches all the time, these instructions will be updated on a regular basis. Make sure to check in here to get the latest version of the right build instructions for your Android version.
These guides assumes you run Ubuntu (we used Ubuntu 20.04 LTS), but it should work in a similar way on any Linux-based system. To use these instructions, you should be familiar with Android development. The instructions will guide you through each step from how to prepare your environment and install all necessary tools to downloading and configuring the code, before you can finally build AOSP images and flash them on your device.
