AAOS Build Help

[greengemstech]

Hi AI Sutton,

Firstly, thanks for this wonderful project as it gives another way to test Android Automotive apps over and above the Android Emulators. I am in need of some help though.

Having read your Post on https://medium.com/snapp-automotive/android-automotive-os-on-a-tablet-f805beb20f96 makes me think that just installing AAOS Firmware image https://images.snappautomotive.com/s5e/lineage-18.1-20210709-UNOFFICIAL-gts4lv.zip via recovery https://download.lineageos.org/gts4lv will do the trick. However, doing so still gives me an Android UI that is not tweaked for Android Automotive.

Building your own build - do I still need to go about building this and installing it again over the custom ROM mentioned above?

Apologies, if some of these questions are very basic but I'm not a developer and have previously tried out installing custom roms on Android phones and tablets successfully.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Raunak
