[ROM] Unofficial Lineage-16.0 (Android 9.0 PIE) - X Style (Pure) Android Development

This is unofficial lineageos 16 for Motorola Clark. It is only compatible with nougat firmware - you must have the nougat bootloader and modem flashed on your device.
Tons of thanks to hashbang for all of his work

Broken-
Camera post processing- rotation is not accounted for in hal with latest round of hacks credit to AgathosAnthropos for fixing image capture by disabling the calls to pp, hold device in landscape for photos
Tethering - it works but device will soft reboot when tethering stops
Dual sim variants are NOT supported! I do not have the hardware to test and fix at this time - bugreports appreciated
Working - everything else?
Try it yourself (Requires Nougat Firmware and as always wipe data+cache)

Once again this rom REQUIRES that the stock nougat firmware was properly flashed to work correctly... It will check before installation that you have the correct modem version installed.
*If your radio does not work you may have the wrong modem
*If you can not switch lockscreen to pin or pattern you may have the wrong modem.
*Modem flashes fail quietly sometimes please make sure you have properly flashed it before reporting issues.

Great! [emoji6]

I'll be happy to test once there is a working rom

I've been updating op, it seems to just be getting shorter as I fix things. The rom now compiles with default manifest only needs device tree and kernel source now. something is failing quietly and preventing boot. I'm just working the problem slowly getting it sorted out.

Can't wait to see more from this

We wait impatiently.

Spent a couple more hours going through init narrowing it down failure happens just before zygote startsI currently have my pure propped up in charging position so I can work more on it it's had a hard life

Thank You so much

I have been searching and search for lineage OS roms for my XT1575 but the bootloader is Ax052 which is not supported by 14.1 Lineage. I Hope you find a fix for this.

Hi, I have the Lineague 14.2 installed. What I did to eliminate the bootloader check was to edit the uptader-script

Fixing error caused by missing taskstats kernel feature

Hi randomblame,
A quick review please, could you tell us the intended purpose of your project.
Meaning like I'm thinking it's for a "Moto X Pure 2015 (clark)" device isn't it?
Would that be for everyone on this XT1575 device which has upgraded to a stock Nougat kernel and modem?
Or could/would others benefit from it as well with your research here - other moto's?
Any and all answers - thoughts are welcome in understanding the project...
Thanks for the lady power on XDA,
RIF
This device can have a new future. Think about it !

I will look into bootloader incompatibility once I get it running seems like it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm also toying with the idea of a new kernel 3.18 seems like low hanging fruit considering Motorola was kind enough to give us good searchable git history on GitHub of both kernels and the 3.18 source for the Moto z seems to have most of the msm8992 support still. My next step is going to be a new device tree starting as bare bones as possible and populating it properly to figure out this issue. I'll throw up a PayPal link again later a less broken device would be helpful USB port is bad and this is probably the fourth screen I've installed on it but touch only works when it feels like it lol

I'm trying to follow along with your posts best as is possible for me - but, so sorry I and as well many others are lame to understand the under-the-hood workings of Android.
Are you saying in such a way that the Moto Pure XT1575, will maybe and with your research efforts move forward to a true PIE OS possibly?
Maybe I'm reading to much into your words.
But, as I follow your posts, you'll advance us Pure device owners beyond the Nougat kernel - or at least try too?
Or yet with your efforts will this yield something like HashBang did for the XT1575 device when a Nougat OS wasn't even a thought of possibility from Motorola for us.
Back then, HashBang had worked the Nougat OS on the Marshmallow kernel and modem - I'm very green to all of this - but that's what I understood.
Still that's good none the less if that will come here from you with PIE on Nougat internals...
Beings Motorola support is dead for our device for anything future of an OS update - not to mention security patches.
If you would spell it out better as any interested XT1575 owners now could grasp the concept here in your efforts - create a buzz for a greater community following. More MXP owners to jump on board as gained support from well wishers.
Is it to early yet for that? Is there a fear that someone could steal it out from under you? Unexpected negativity, or is it just the way you wish to present this to us for the present.
I'm still going to watch and support this project with high hopes no matter what may come in the end...
Could you benefit knowledge from a LineageOS 16 for Moto Z. download?

As for any active developers still left for the XT1575 a big thank you to you all, seems to me like a daunting task to crawl inside of android moreless understand things once your there...

Kernels are only loosly linked to Android versions, Google maintains the Android-common kernel repos which are usually quite far behind mainline Linux, and caf who maintains Qualcomm specific kernels are further behind in general. Literallyany feature required by Android can be backported to an old kernel I'm sure 2.6.27 could run pie but it would need so many patches it would be an unrecognizable mess. It will become progressively more of a nuisance as time goes on to keep patching up 3.10 Pie "requires" 4.4 for new devices but only needs kernel features from 3.18 which I've backported to 3.10. with each new version of Android more assumptions are made about how modern the devices kernel is and what features it has so moving to a newer kernel would be nice and like I said 3.18 seems doable but it will still be quite a bit of work.

Thank you @randomblame I was able to grasp most of that...
Maybe it's too early but, how does Googles Android security patches figure into this - if they are possible to bring us forth from Oct 2017?
Remembering I'm a laymen to the nuts and bolts of android.
I understand your post #16 - Super !

Security patch version is irrelevant when you are building from the latest source

Obnoxiously after a few builds the dedicated 250gb SSD is full and I have to make clean which takes ages, I nooped every thing but the basics didn't include telephony or wifi, ril, audio, Bluetooth GPS nfc etc and left it to build overnight will test after work trying to narrow down the problem

Surface flinger is the culprit

I have the device laying around and getting no use. Will sure donate some $$$. Seeing a los16 with all working hardware would be great.

Only got a couple hours to work on it this weekend, there is an issue where /system/vendor is not symlinked to /vendor early enough and calls for things in /vendor fail thus the issue, since we don't have a physical /vendor partition it can not be mounted immediately via the kernel. Tis annoying. I can change the calls to /system/vendor or maybe make it symlinked earlier when I get a chance

[TREE] Need help creating the Honor 7 device tree.

NEED HELP​
Hello guys, I'm working on a generic tree for our beloved device Honor 7, but not getting enough success, so each and every of you are invited to help me create a new device tree for AOSP 5.1 ROM or CM 12.1, so that we can taste the Stock Android too.
The benefits of these ROMs are that the device will get more fast and stable as there will be minimum apps and bloatwares installed.
So, it is a humble request, that whosoever have any knowledge about creating a tree from scratch please help me.
I have created a skeleton of the tree but it is not a success too as there are many things we still have to consider.
@sminki and @kenshiwara, we will setup an organization on GitHub so everyone can contribute there only.
Hi,
It will be wonderfull to have CM on our honor7.
Sorry mate. You haven't seen my troubles over the last few weeks then
After my H7 'died', I got a warranty replacement phone, and unlocking was proving impossible, each day was bringing more frustration and anger so i've sold it!
That's it, i'm out of the "honor" business for good (hence the "unsupported" bit on the recovery and kernel threads), but as a parting "gift", here's a few things that may help "the cause".
Sorry, the length of this post got out of control! :silly:
device tree starting point:
https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_huawei_p8 - it's similar enough, that with a little editing and boom, we had our recovery*
https://github.com/debbiche/android_device_huawei_p8 - another fuller "tree" (wip), again the p8 is similar enough to use as a base
https://github.com/Gibbon99/android_device_huawei_hwgemini - mediapad x2 - another kirin​
if you're insane, you could get the dtb files (iirc - i got these from compiling the source) and decompile, but this contains EVERYTHING, theses files are huge, many hundred kb and would take days to get the info out you need (if there is any!)
cm
have a look at codeworkx H6 git, it's the closest device you'll find that has CM actually running on it, albeit CM11 (and abandoned!)
https://github.com/codeworkx/proprietary_vendor_huawei
https://github.com/codeworkx/android_device_huawei_h60-common​
other things:
osm0sis' kitchen out of the many boot image unpack/repack tools, this worked the best with huawei boot/recovery images
* with this in mind, anyone running Linux can pull apart my recovery, fix the issues in default.prop, add extra partitions to fstab and repack it. then post it for everyone else to use.
with the sh!tty way fastboot is on these phones, and the way modem binaries get patched, you're going to have to look for a way to write these in recovery (scripted with dd i imagine) so that everyone can use without having the ballache that is B100,B121,B140 etc etc to get to a version that will work with your ROM. this for me is where it's all going to hurt! (and end with bricks!)
final thing - the kernel source is terrible, it is so far removed from AOSP that simple things that you could normally just drop in, like cpu governors won't work. unless you really know C++ and how to debug it's gonna be near stock (like mine funnily enough!)
Good luck chaps :good: it's gonna be a hell of a ride!

Thanks, this will help enough and I was not aware of your troubles
I got a device tree working with CM12.1 and USB debugging, but Mali was a showstopper. Now I'm fighting with CM13 instead... Generally, the B313 ROM is far less hacky, but we lose the open source kernel for a while until they release one.
I will set up a GitHub tree with what I have when I get CM13 compiling again, however keep in mind that you need to patch the boot.img manually to use the closed-source B313 kernel until Huawei releases the source for that, which probably won't happen at the very least until it's fully in OTA. I'd love some help from someone who is more experienced, especially with the Mali drivers which are the worst of pains.
EDIT: I got CM13 compiling again. Let's hope for the best.
EDIT2: Mali works! Sadly, that currently depends on Huawei's libgui.so which brings in a huge chunk of Huawei's patched libraries - otherwise, it segfaults in strange places. Any ideas?

Since it has been a while that any Info came out of this thread I have to ask.. Is anyone still working the tree?
I normaly do not ask for etas but in this case it would be useful if the thread is abandoned that we could know the reasons and Problems so maybe someone else could join in with a different approach

Why don't you concentrate first resolving issues on the other roms? What is the sense of releasing every kind of roms but with the same issues?

WelI think it is just as good making normal roms. The in-call isue and other bugs are related across all N roms so that means that if it gets fixed on one then you'll have all the other roms fixed in a small matter of time and now you have 3 working Nougat roms instead of one non functioning rom

Not at all. At the moment you have a lot of not working ROM that are not going to work, because if you look at their github, you'll see that authors most likely lack knowledge needed to make them work. Building every ROM available using the same base is a waste of time (and distraction for users) if one can't even fix your issues in one of them. Plus moving to newer version of android without having the previous one fully working is a suicide run. Nougat has a lot of complex changes in it's sources and it doesn't even fully work on some officially supported devices, so don't expect a good ROM of Android 7.1.1 anytime soon and flooding forums with multiple ROMs having the same issues is not going to help it.

Well... You are right sir. In-call audio is really really important and I wish someone knew why it was happening..
I didn't mean in call audio. I meant this ROM doesn't even boot normally and they have no clue why, yet instead of trying to debug they release bunch of not working builds. Camera doesn't work and it will not work since you'd either have to use updated open source HAL or revert Nougat media changes and it won't be a surprise if I'll tell you they have no idea how to do it. The only real devs, who knew what they were doing left because their work was posted by someone else and now he's making blind commits in hope that things will magically fix themself. They won't. I might as well tell you that development on J5 is dead unless someone new with actual knowledge steps in. Don't expect any significant changes. We can't even take patches from any other msm8916 devices, because they have more advanced development and use a lot of open source projects instead of prebuilt libs like we do. Even camera in CM13 is not fully fixed because open source cam doesn't work for us and after debugging it for 3 weeks I've still didn't come up with reliable solution to make it work (only made some errors dissapear).

You're not totally sure.
Creating new roms is just to try to see if there are different results and not just to flood the forum with crap.
The name of the forum is XDA - DEVELOPERS, this means that it is of full use to developers, if the person does not know how to help, it just stays silent while someone else can do it. Your help in testing is much appreciated since we are trying to do something free for you, and still prefer to say things like that.
I thank you and respect your concept, but try to help instead.

The problem with incall and other stuff is already encountered by SoUnd001, but the big problem is that we're not hitting what it does so it's not booted, you're getting errors with incall and stuff because of the patch you're installing, not because of Rom or current kernel.
NOTICE:
I'm finishing a build for J500FN, we know it may not start properly, but I want to know the result for these users. I hope the sooner I have it all working.

Considering our device only has Marshmallow we can afford to deal with some bugs. If i read correctly RR 6.0.1 only has the radio bug so we have a working Marshmallow rom. The next logical step is to make Nougat and they do not have a kernel thats Nougat based so thats why they are running into problems and why we have to use patches. Im almost 100% sure that once we get official Nougat to our device, 99% of the bugs in these roms will disappear

You're not totally sure.
Creating new roms is just to try to see if there are different results and not just to flood the forum with crap.

FYI: ALL custom ROM are using the same hardware repo's maintained by CAF, CM(Lineage now) or AOSP. There won't be any different results. The most important repos are all the same. The fact that you don't know that and your friend's github sources show that there is nothing to be helped. You're just playing games with users pretending you could make things work. What for? In the end they will be the ones left with nothing but promises. People, who could actually do something left, because someone took their work and published it to take all the applause for it and now you're blindly trying changes hoping they would somehow fix things.

They built from the source already made by ganesh. Their own changes are blindly trying things that have no right to work in the first place. Builiding android from someone's ready sources is like walk in a park.

Certainly not for J5 2015, maybe 2016 but it could benefit us anyway since these devices are similiar.
I'm done, Moderator will probably soon come and delete my posts since all they care about is keeping forum clean. You may consider this device dead at the moment.

I understand from your post that Sound001 or EsromG5 did the hard work, but its not like that.
@Nick Verse and @ganesh varma were the ones who built cm12.1 and cm13 from source. They were also working on cm14 source while they were working on cm13.
So, please edit your post and dont mislead people.
Koloses said everything.
Since Nick and Ganesh left J5 development because their project which were working on was posted by someone else, the issues of Nougat CM/AOSP based roms wont be solved.
This:
I might as well tell you that development on J5 is dead unless someone new with actual knowledge steps in.

[DEV][trlte] Unified LineageOS device tree for Snapdragon Note4

I have the idea for an unified build from quite some time, but only now I'm trying to bring it to life.
Looking at LineageOS github and gerrit you can see that other devices (klte, m8) have the same stupid amount of variants, but they have merged them into one device repo.. So why can't this happen for the Note4?
Following their steps I've created an unified android_device_samsung_trlte (that includes SM-N910F/trltexx, SM-N910G/trltedt, SM-N910T/trltetmo, SM-N910W8/trltecan, SM-N910P/trltespr, SM-N910R4/trlteusc and SM-N910V/trltevzw), this proprietary_vendor_samsung and added this commit to the android_device_samsung_trlte-common that I'm currently using.
For now I'm able to use those repos to build a LineageOS-14.1 build that boots up, but w/o sim and camera being recognized.. For what I've tested (on trltexx) wifi and (strangely) bluetooth are working. Something is probably wrong with specific device blobs not being recognized/used properly.
It needs some work but I think this is a good base to start with.
trltexx/trltedt blobs are from here;
trltetmo/trltecan blobs are from here;
trltespr/trlteusc blobs are from here;
trltevzw is using trltespr blobs for now (there are no guaranteed working blobs repos for it at the moment, the only (WIP) way is to establish which are needed and extract them from hsbadr's builds).
The kernel is the same that I'm using for the not unified builds (android_kernel_samsung_trlte), at the moment testing if the klte's way of using the international variant defconfig works for us too.. other options are to add something like this commit to remove the need of a variant defconfig or merge the different defconfigs into one and use that instead.

I was going to share this anyway, but I'm sharing it now (even if there are still major problems) because I have a very limited free time where I can work on it, so, maybe, someone of you will join/fork/clone this project and help me out, finalizing it earlier and better (the support of experienced developers is needed and much appreciated).
I'm now going to mention the SeniorMembers/RecognizedContributors/RecognizedDevelopers that, maybe, have interest in this project.
@fattire @hsbadr @SaintZ93 @SferaDev @TheBr0ken @ZION959
If you get it to work, @_mone, I'll switch my daily builds to this unified one.
On a related matter, there seems to be a typo in the name of one of your repos: unified_andorid_device_samsung_trlte.
Let me also add @lilferraro to the list of devs, as I use his device tree to build for trltespr.
I built this and it boots, with the same issues you have (no SIM detected, camera is busted). Took a bunch of of logs. Getprop shows ro.build.fingerprint is trltetmo (which is right), ro.bootimage.build.fingerprint is trlte. Wifi and bluetooth are working. Mediaserver/libcameraservice service crashes repeatedly. I agree with you that having a unified tree for the entire Note 4 line is the way to go. I tried manually copying the blobs from /system/blobs/tmo/ to /system/lib and /system/vendor/lib but it didn't help.
what proprietary blobs did you use for sprint?

I will do a test build of my Ubuntu Touch port using this unified repo and report back if anyone is interested. My port still needs a couple things to work but the stuff that works now should be enough to give me a good idea if it will work or not.

I am EXTREMELY interested in a touch port.
Thanks
Also GitHub.com/underscoremone for all the older stuff
I actually have my work on github already, I am also on telegram in the ubports groups, and if you would like to help my repo is probably the best place to start (unless you prefer duplicating work) I only have sensors and the stylus left for hardware (both of which I have been trying to get working) the stylus is an issue on the ubports side but I dont understand the code enough for mir. I haven't had a chance to test the unified repo yet, but I will once I have a few minutes to actually do it.
I wonder how it work to create xda threads for Ubuntu touch, since they seem to have their own forums.
I think adding Ubuntu touch to xda would be an additional resource for users and developers.

I agree, as all I really see on xda as far as Ubuntu Touch goes is prebuilt downloads which is good for letting people try it, but when I started I initially looked into xda but found no help. I do hope to see that change in the future though
Nice to see someone actually wanting to still develop for this device.. I love this Note4 still.

The lineage-17.1 thread is up!
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 [tblte][trlte][trlteduos]
If you don't mind not having a working fingerprint sensor, or audio through the headphone jack, then Q is stable enough for daily use. As always when coming from an older rom version, it is highly recommended not to waste your time dirty flashing and just clean flash.
Q is still a work in progress, so I will still be releasing Pie builds, though maybe not as often. As in years past, once the Q bugs have been fixed up to the current Pie level, I will post about when my last Pie build will be. I will upload it to the Downloads tab located at the top of each page of this thread, and link it in the OP.

any devs who can create aosp 8

Saw it on Sony development Web yesterday...it will be awesome if any developers can make a fully functional rom
Well, haven't you seen the 7.1.1? The dev is still working on it, and the next build will be on O. We're working on it now. We have a channel for the news - https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAELTVKqh1eeAesWWXw.
p.s. Thread must be deleted now, IMHO.
Thumbs-up to kamil ochman and other devs for your great work

What? Me?
Hi,
I downloaded the AOSP sources from Sony the other night to build a barebones from for my Z3. However, the Leo wasn't in the device tree, but what I did see were options for the E2303 & E2333. This was for 8.0.0 OPR3, mind you, so is an Oreo.
I was successful in building the images required for flashing, however the kernel fails to boot due to missing DTB. I am currently attempting to fix this so that the boot.img will boot and hopefully have a working Oreo for our M4. The inline kernel fails, so if anyone with skills in this particular area would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a developer, merely a tinker with determination. I am currently trying different patches seen on github for tulip, however no matter what I do I can not get the missing DTB into boot.img.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][ONE-OFF BUILD] crDroid 4.4 Hammerhead

All the blah blah about "as is", you being responsible for what you choose to do and do to your device, no guarantees implied nor stated... And all the usual to install. I wont be paying much attention to bugs, however, PLEASE post them as you find them to let others know what they can expect.
This build is a ONE-OFF and you should look at the original thread by @Krizthian for possible future builds. https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-crdroid-v4-0-google-nexus-5-t3767591
Special thanks to @haze_nme who provided the device and kernel for without which this build would not be possible. Please visit his post and give the thanks button a BIG slap! https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76807742&postcount=315
Of course, thanks to the crDroid team for providing the ROM source itself; and making it so easy to build using LineageOS device trees.:good:
Changes from the default source:
Code:
[FONT="Verdana"] Added the MiXplorer [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691[/url]
I got the OK first too include in my unofficial ROMs that I build, visit the forum, they are very helpful for this VERY powerful file explorer. [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691[/url]
You can thank @HootanParsa for building it, and letting me include it:good: Be sure to share some thanks.
Switched over to the ResurrectionRemox launcher. I had issues with the default launcher in crDroid. Also on another device, and I think I have read some other users had the same on even more devices.
Vinyl Music Player and removed crDroid music.
It has more features but is based off the same original app in crDroid. Including a dark theme!
Just to be polite I checked with the dev to get his ok, even though its open source. It can also be fund on F-Droid
OmniClock replaces the standard deskclock. Sourced from OmniROM, so a big thanks to them. It has a nicer dark skinn also.

I have only done a rudimentary test on it. I flashed PICO Gapps, and there aint much room left in the system partition.

Maybe I too should be looking at the commits made into @Hazenmetrees to possibly see what needs to be done against my actual device.

Oreo for RAZR M perhaps?
That'd be quite the display if you could get that to work, assuming that is still your daily device. I have an N5 spare as well, but the WiFi chip broke : (
4.4 is working like a champ here. Many thanks. Tried to install ElementalX 9.02 but it wouldn't take. Will investigate further soon.

Cast your mind back. My Razr is dead! Upgrading the kernel (and the device tree) is a big task. We were very lucky for Nougat, as the XT897 was pretty damn close and it had an official LOS build. ie the device tree and kernel were basically ready to kang. As far as I know, there is no official Oreo for the xt897 and therefore, unless you spend the time and effort, there is no Oreo for the xt907/xt905/xt926 etc etc.
For now I use and build for an GT-i9506 as my daily, and I also have an N5 as a "spare", which is half dead (mic is flakey which makes a phonee useless). I build for the N5 as "practice" for the S4, and I shared the results here, as I saw the current builds were quite old; [sarcasm]and I'm such a nice guy[/sarcasm]
