Recovery Installation on Sony Xperia L is now just a matter few taps.
This thread is all about Recovery installation in device's FOTAKernel partition.
Why FOTAKernel ?
Because it over-rides kernel from boot partition and it does not change when switching ROMs.
It will go back to Stock FOTAKernel if flashed stock though.
Maintainers
App Maintainer - Me, I will be bringing app updates so as to make your lives easier and beatiful.
Recovery Maintainer - @SdtBarbarossa, he will be updating various recoveries, which can be downloaded and installed right from the app. More of demonstration of his work in 2nd post.
Recoveries Supported
TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP)
CWM-Philz Touch Recovery
Cannibal Open Touch Recovery
Cyanogen Recovery
Stock FOTAKernel
Utilities Supported
Aroma File Manager
App Usage
Open the app
Grant Root Access
Let the app get latest info from Recovery Miantainer's database. Choose any Recovery and download it, you need internet for that I guess.
App will start downloading recovery for ya, and will automagically install the recovery and reboot to recovery, for ya.
In case of aroma, as soon as download is finished, it will reboot to recovery and will automatically open (or prompt to open, depending on recovery) aroma fm.
Easy heh?

is there any bug?
Fix : performance copy the build.prop : here copy to system/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
File needs permission to access - is there another link?
Thanks - the file is available for download now.
I have installed the ROM and it works well but do you know if it is possible to disable the forced device encryption?
Also, my SIM2 is not recognised. Any ideas?
Auto booting to fastboot after installing... (installed to redmi go, it is unlocked, followed instruction, tried minimum 3-4 times, tried several variants of 9.0 Pie GSI etc.)
If You installed 9.0 by the instruction above and it successfully started, it means there is some hardware difference between different region redmi go devices. Mine is Global version.
Stock 8.1 GO is installing and starting normally from TWRP. Problem occurs only with the rom from this thread.
I want to switch to 9.0 beacuse stock 8.1 GO have push notification issue. Believe me, I tried everything to fix it, but unsuccessfully...
Waiting for Your help.
Instructions
NOTE: Do not flash the vendor file from the OP, that causes bootloops on my device.
This is what I did - now happily running AOSP 9:
- Restore stock firmware (http://en.miui.com/download-365.html)
- Reboot then perform system update to get latest release
- Reboot to bootloader (fastboot mode)
- Download the GSI image from the OP
- fastboot flash system system-test-20190415-arm-a.img
- Boot to TWRP recovery
- Mount system partition
- Replace /system/build.prop with one from OP
- Reboot
Additionally, if you want to disable encryption:
- Format data partition (You will loose all of your data!)
- Download vendor image file from OP
- Extract default.prop and fstab.qcom
- Mount vendor partition
- Replace extracted files to phone
Update
Hello to my Russian friends who are following this thread from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=939092&view=findpost&p=84933744
I have attached the files that need to be replaced to this post
hello guys. i have tried both procedures. it gets stuck on "android" logo (booting i guess).
shall i use vendor? shall not use vendor?
"
- Restore stock firmware (http://en.miui.com/download-365.html)
....
- Replace /system/build.prop with one from OP
- Reboot"
now it should boot?
i tried stopping here, and no luck. i tried doing those "additionally.." steps, same lack of luck.
You only need to touch vendor if you want to disable forced encryption.
These instructions worked when I posted them on 4pda:
- Unlock bootloader - there are instructions elsewhere
- Download: http://treble.phh.me/system-test-20190415-arm-a.img (system.img)
- Download TWRP from other thread (trwp.img)
- Download files.zip from my previous post and extract build.prop
- Power off the phone
- Press volume down and power buttons to go to fastboot bootloader
- Connect your phone to your computer via usb cable
- Type in terminal: fastboot flash system system.img
- Wait for process to finish
- Type in terminal: fastboot boot twrp.img
- Phone will reboot to TRWP recovery mode
- Select "Mount" then "System"
- Type in terminal: adb push build.prop /system/
- Type in terminal: adb shell chmod 600 /system/build.prop
- Reboot phone
If you need GApps, grab the latest pico from https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases - ie https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20190507/open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20190507.zip - and install from TWRP.
in locks every time in the "Encryption unsuccessful ... RESET PHONE"
/vendor issue
What process did you use? Did you touch the /vendor partition? Does formatting /data from TWRP help?
Restore stock formware (all partitions from fastboot) then follow steps here: post 10
Camera issue
Only issue I spotted on this ROM for now is - Camera quality became worse. Is it a driver or just app level issue?
This is a Project Treble device which means that the drivers remain untouched in the /vendor partition and the new GSI uses them, unlike older ROMs which contained their own drivers. Which version of firmware did you have before installing the GSI? On 4pda it was observed that camera2 api apps was the issue but I have not seen any such problem.
Just updated to the May 2019 build (v113) and all is good - just had to resize the image to fit the partition. I shall keep updating monthly as long as phh keeps making them.
The ROM from the original post is no longer available. If anyone is interested then I can make an updated GSI available.
Note: FM radio is missing

Indeed, but the developer is on it, follow progress here: Include FM Radio app
I can't find a gsi that will fit my system partition
need the smallest GSI possible for an obscure mt6580 device
EDIT: would love to try the outdated image that's no longer available ANYWHERE
