To build a custom AOSP ROM end-to-end, you sync AOSP sources, apply vendor blobs, configure branding, build images using repo, lunch, m, and Soong, flash the device, and distribute OTA updates.

The AOSP ROM build workflow involves selecting a target device, syncing source, applying vendor blobs, branding, compiling images, flashing, and setting up OTA channel distribution for real devices or emulators.

Yes, applying vendor blobs is a required step in the custom AOSP ROM workflow to ensure hardware compatibility when building and flashing images for real devices.

The best way to set up OTA updates for a custom ROM is to follow the end-to-end AOSP build workflow, which includes configuring OTA channel distribution after building and flashing the device images.

Yes, the custom AOSP ROM workflow enforces Soong-based build steps alongside repo, lunch, and m commands to compile source code into flashable images.

An AOSP ROM build may fail if vendor blobs are not correctly applied, if the wrong target device is selected during lunch, or if Soong-based build steps are not properly configured.
