Snapdragon Hexagon DSP - General Questions and Answers

Hey fellas,
I recently stumbled over a post on stack overflow witch looks interesting. Link at the bottom. I can build a rom from source, but I have no idea how to implement this for testing. Can someone do a test or help me to implement it so I can test it by myself.
I use an LG G6 so the device should support it just like the last nexii or Pixel devices.
Thanks for your help and/or comments.

Cubox a minipc with great spec that could compete with the new Nexus Q

Hi everyone,
I am writing here because as owner of a Cubox (http://www.solid-run.com/) I would love to see CM10 or another android 4.1 based version on it.
This minipc has a really good hardware and I believe a great potential. Unfortunately the company which created it is not doing a good working in developing a stable OS. That's why I thought to post here.
Would the xda community be interested in support this hardware?
I really feel we could be a great competitor to the Nexus Q..if a stable version would be available.
Thank you for your time
Regards
nobody interested in?

Hello.
I own one too, just sits in the cabinet doing nothing atm. (Default Ubuntu installl on it ).
Glad news, over at Solid Run forums theres some movement going on.
Check this out
So there is new hope for this device.
Ive contacted the new head of marketing to get some details on the development support mentioned in the post , pending reply on that.
For now, this topic is subscribed =)
Here is another thread about the cubox i 4 pro.
They really searching for developers.
Perhaps anybody of you can help us.

Qualcomm Hexagon Disassembler?

Anyone Interested?
As our mobile devices are getting more and more locked-up and harder to maintain, it's is surprising that so little effort has been done in vulnerability research of the Qualcomm Hexagon DSP's. After all, these beasts have been roaming around freely in our phone cores for nearly 8 years already. (In all Snapdragons since 2006). But very few, to none of our security experts have had a good look at what's hiding inside.
So what I propose, is that we start an effort to build an Open Source Hexagon Disassembler for public security research of mobile baseband firmware.
The only effort I know of to this date is that made by Jan Willem Hengeveld (itsme), who wrote an IDA module (here) to the best of his abilities. I don't know what is the current status of that today, but the IDA Hexagon module is now hosted at Github HERE by Ralf-Philipp Weinmann (rpw), who reverse engineered parts of the baseband (shown in THIS video) and recently helped expose the insecurity of TOR hidden-services.
I'm not going to answer why this is important at this point, but I'd rather like to know more about what mobile developers in the security field think about this. Highly technical talk is welcome and preferred.
If you have any additional information on how to do this, or what would be required, please chime in!

PUSH! I recommend you to have a chit-chat with developer @c0rnholio, who developed the awesome HushSMS.
That is very interesting topic. I think it will be hard to disassemble the modem/baseband DSP, but it will be easier accessing the multimedia DSP which is open for user programming. There is even a linux project running on hexagon cores

Hi E:V:A, I'm interested. I sent you a PM regarding a similar project, if you're still interested in this subject PM me.

DualBootPatcher for OP6?

Fantastic tool for flash-o-holics like all of us here You can try another ROM while maintaining your current one.
But when i checked supported device, I was surprised not being able to find OP6 (the last one if 5T).
I wonder if some1 knows if there are any plans to get it for our phones. I wrote a quick message to dev, but no reply just yet.
Would absolutely love seeing support for the OnePlus 6.

New ROM for Pixel 3 series? [Looking for Alpha Testers]

Hello everyone,
Over the past few years the custom ROM scene has been dwindling. The Nexus and Pixel devices are suppose to be the crown jewl of development but that has began to fade. I was thinking of committing to a new ROM for Pixel devices (and possibly Essential devices down the road) since these are the easiest to maintain. The ROM wouldn't be packed with the most features, but take an approach similar to Oxygen OS: only add meaningful features and maintain the AOSP look and feel. I would also make it a point to keep the ROM up to date with the latest security patches and bug fixes from Google (security and stability would be priority). I have quite a bit of development experience from the past and was wondering how much support and "want" there is for a project like this? Anyone who would be interested in a ROM like this just like this thread and comment any feedback/suggestions/questions. If there is enough support for this project I will commit to it but I want to gauge public response first.
Cheers,
Shawn
Edit: It's worth noting the project would be open source.
Edit 2: If you would like to be an Alpha Tester for this project visit the following post: Link

Yes I've been saying this and it kinda sucks cuz I love flashing different roms , mods etc lol so a new rom for Pixel 3xl (my device) with features from various roms and being stable would be cool. Any requests feature wise I won't mind letting you know. Hope you do decide to make one soon. Thanks and good luck!
All roms welcomed!
Hell yea! So lacking right now in terms of ROMs for these devices.

I would love another custom ROM that has support for 3minite battery given that I haven't been able to get it working on any custom ROM.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL
I'd go for it. I would like to see something for oreo
It would be fantastic to have some more options. I came from Pixel 2XL to Pixel 3XL and the ROM flashing choices dropped, DRAMATICALLY. Luckily I've been getting my fill by testing for the AquariOS team, so that fulfills my need to flash regularly but it'd be great to see some more action in the forum. I'm sure there will be plenty of support for your decision, if you decide to move forward with it.
I'd love to see a really minimal and stable AOSP with a really active mod/flash community for those that like to add sprinkles.
Mos Def Interested!!!
It would be something I would be interested in for sure.
:good:
Of course. Variety is the spice of life.
Maybe you can figure out why Sprint devices can't send MMS.
I would like to see LOS. I used Cyanogen for years.
I really wish this could happen and be made possible.

The biggest reason for lack of development is the cost of the device, I gave almost $1200 for mine, after the "insurance".
Going back to Nexus days, the things were less than half that price, hopefully the A series will bring some life back....
Alpha Testers
Hello all,
Thanks for all the positive responses and feedback. I am strongly leaning towards committing to the project but wanted to see how many people would be willing to be Alpha Testers for the project.
More information on the various ROM release types and what to expect in Alpha builds, visit: http://bit.ly/2Zz9Koa
Finally, if you are interested in helping test the ROM fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/ypr2yu9jbX6MwBZZ9

Just FYI, making people have a Slack account to participate is a no no, nothing else wrong with your application though
I have Slack, but it's only for work..I would rather not provide that. Any other way? Perhaps Telegram instead? Or give us an organization to use outside of our likely employers?

I have removed the Slack option from the form so you can fill it out now without any issue. For now we can just XDA Private Messages and go from there towards an alternative in the future.
Are you still working on it?

Due to a positive response, I wanted to inquire how many people would be interested in this type of project for the Pixel 3. Additionally, if anyone is interested in Alpha Testing the ROM, please visit Link. If anyone has any questions or feedback regarding this project, feel free to post a comment here.

I can give it a try in a few days. Two more days until summer holiday for me, kind of need the phone in the mean time.
I would test for you, providing easy update instructions were possible
