WARNING : To have success when building ROMs from repository, it's required to use Java-7 JRE (1.7) If you don't use this one, you'll have unpredictable errors, like C header files malformed.

It's recommanded to have a PATH pointing the right Java JRE at first position, in your environment !

Then run these commands:

mkdir YOUR_ WORKING_DIR

cd YOUR_WORKING_DIR

example for omnirom 5.0 :

repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-5.1

mkdir .repo/local_manifests

curl https://raw.github.com/PixNDom/android_manifest_lenovo-Tab2A710/master/A710F_manifest.xml > .repo/local_manifests/A710F_manifest.xml

repo sync

The sync will take a while and download something like 15 GB of source code.

Finally build the rom with these commands:

source build/envsetup.sh

brunch Tab2A710F

If all goes well this will create a zip file into 'out' folder, that can be flashed on the tablet , using CWM or TWRP !
