Here are my modified instructions. There were a few tweaks such as adding a few more packages to get via apt, editing a different manifest, and retrieving OpenGapps via git lfs:
# Create a builder AppVM based on whonix-14-ws or Debian in which you'll build android-x86. # You'll need 120GB for android-x86 sources and temp build files and 30GB for swap. # Extend private storage size to 160GB via GUI or in dom0: qvm-volume extend android-builder:private 160g # Add 30GB swap in builder VM: sudo fallocate -l 30G /tmp/swapfile sudo chmod 0600 /tmp/swapfile sudo mkswap /tmp/swapfile sudo swapon /tmp/swapfile # Add the following repository to /etc/apt/sources.list (openjdk-8 is required, but it is not available under Debian 10): # deb https://deb.debian.org/debian sid main # Install packages in whonix-14-ws (or Debian) template: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip gettext libyaml-dev dosfstools syslinux syslinux-utils xorriso mtools makebootfat lunzip git-core curl python-pip libssl-dev bc libelf-dev git-lfs python-pip git-core curl clang libncurses5 libncurses5-dev # In builder VM run: sudo ln -s /sbin/mkdosfs /usr/local/bin/mkdosfs sudo pip install prettytable Mako pyaml dateutils --upgrade export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx8G" echo 'export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx8G"' >> ~/.profile echo "sudo swapon /tmp/swapfile" >> /rw/config/rc.local # Download android-x86 sources: mkdir android-x86 cd android-x86 curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > repo chmod a+x repo sudo install repo /usr/local/bin rm repo git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "r...@example.com" repo init -u git://git.osdn.net/gitroot/android-x86/manifest -b oreo-x86 -m android-x86-8.1-r1.xml # To add GAPPS to your build you need to add the build system, and the wanted sources to your manifest. # Edit .repo/manifests/android-x86-8.1-r1.xml and add the following towards the end: <remote name="opengapps" fetch="https://github.com/opengapps/"; /> <remote name="gitlab" fetch="https://gitlab.opengapps.org/opengapps/"; /> <project path="vendor/opengapps/build" name="aosp_build" revision="master" remote="opengapps" /> <project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/all" name="all" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="gitlab" /> <!-- arm64 depends on arm --> <project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/arm" name="arm" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="gitlab" /> <project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/arm64" name="arm64" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="gitlab" /> <project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/x86" name="x86" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="gitlab" /> <project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/x86_64" name="x86_64" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="gitlab" /> # Download sources: repo sync --no-tags --no-clone-bundle --force-sync -j$( nproc --all ) # If you choose to add GAPPS, then edit file device/generic/common/device.mk and add at the beginning: #OpenGAPPS GAPPS_VARIANT := pico GAPPS_PRODUCT_PACKAGES += Chrome \ KeyboardGoogle \ LatinImeGoogle \ GoogleTTS \ YouTube \ PixelIcons \ PixelLauncher \ Wallpapers \ PixelLauncherIcons \ WebViewGoogle \ GoogleServicesFramework \ GoogleLoginService \ GAPPS_FORCE_BROWSER_OVERRIDES := true GAPPS_FORCE_PACKAGE_OVERRIDES := true GAPPS_EXCLUDED_PACKAGES := FaceLock \ AndroidPlatformServices \ PrebuiltGmsCoreInstantApps \ # And at the end add: #OpenGAPPS $(call inherit-product, vendor/opengapps/build/opengapps-packages.mk) # OpenGapps changed their repo to require git-lfs. There may be a better way to do this, but if you're building with GApps, this gets the right files.

After clicking the button to set up a new device (vs transferring from an existing phone), the screen turns black, and it doesn't go anywhere. It's still responsive - I can click on the back button, and it will get highlighted as if I had actually clicked it. However, nothing happens. Thoughts?
