Build flags

Disclaimer and Information.

When you build, you will often need some specific flags, depending on the situation.

Here, we’ll try to establish a non exhaustive list of what flags you can find.

It’s an effort made by the community to try to gather the flags. If you find this section incomplete, or if you want to add some things to it, please send a message to Onelots on discord.

A flag is often used in the lineage_$device.mk file in your device tree. A flag follows the form FLAG := value

Flags list

Flag itself	Default value	Accepted value	What it’s made for
`EVO_BUILD_TYPE`	Unofficial	Official/Unofficial	Define if a build is official or unofficial. allowed as flag but prefer to use as export.
`WITH_GMS`	True	true/false	Define if the build has Google Apps or if it’s a vanilla one. (Without google.)
`TARGET_USES_MINI_GAPPS`	False	true/false	It often happens that a device can’t fit all the google apps. So we use this flag to use a smaller gapps package.
`TARGET_USES_PICO_GAPPS`	False	true/false	Same as MINI_GAPPS, but this one is the smallest working one. Not recommended tho because doesn’t have Velvet.
`BUILD_BCR`	true	true/false	Allows to build (or not) the app Basic Call Recorder
`TARGET_HAS_UDFPS`	depends !	true/false	indicate whether the devices has Under Display FingerPrint Sensor or not
`TARGET_SUPPORT_BOOT_ANIMATIONS`	true	true/false	Allows to define if boot animations are working on the device or not, and allows to hide options in evolver
`TARGET_DISABLE_EPPE`	false	true/false	Enforce Product Packages Existance. EPPE Requires all requested packages to exist, so disabling it allows some packages to be missing.
`TARGET_INCLUDE_ACCORD`	true	true/false	Allows to define if the build will include Accord app . Accord is a music player with apple music like interface.
`TARGET_INCLUDE_VIPERFX`	false	true/false	Allows to include ViperFX with just a flag
`WITH_ADB_INSECURE`	false	true/false	Allows to define if the builds should include adb insecure or not
`WITH_SU`	false	true/false	allows to ship the su binary directly in the rom
`BYPASS_CHARGE_SUPPORTED`	false	true/false	Allows to ship the “bypass charging” function if the device supports it.
