Tapatalké depuis mon Mega Mate 8 !

I did hear of the return of a great developer , he runs a version of oreo 8 but xda kicked him off here for a month and he abandon the fully working OS. Because xda is against donations for good causes

tried lineageos 16 from openkirin. the los itself boots fine and apps run ok (even gcam), but the first boot had encryption thing going, then the boots after will all bust with "decryption failed". searched a little bit online, some suggested that, after "flash system", go into twrp then mount parition and modify fstab to remove forceencryption or avb first. hope someone can come up with a verfied working howto on mate8.

Please, somebody can help us? We will need a reverse engineer for the drivers to port and somebody from Lineage crew.
AFAIK, the problem with the published source code by Huawei is that the camera does not work.

Can you provide the technical details on the error messages ?
There is a LineageOS image for Honor8 (which has problems with random crashes) but the actual kernel interface differences between Honor8 and Mate9 are minimal.
Sorry I don't know the details but there has been some discussion in this thread:

The camera itself works, it's when you take a picture that the image doesn't save.
I narrowed it down to a sqlite error when trying to save:
Code:
06-09 12:00:45.188 E/SQLiteDatabase(26762): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: UNIQUE constraint failed: gallery_media._data (Sqlite code 2067), (OS error - 2:No such file or directory)
I'm not sure how to fix that actually.
gallery_media._data seems to have a dot too many imo, but maybe it's supposed to be that way.
I never tried with another camera app, to check if it's just stock that doesn't work.
Edit: This can apparently mean 2 things, either the db is not read/write or the ID (gallery_media._data) already exists.
Edit 2: Actually, this error no longer exists on B185.
Google Camera works fine. It's just Huawei's camera app that doesn't work correctly.
Then, if the kernel works, what are the general steps to start working on a Mate 9 Lineage port?
If the kernel interface is similar to that of Honor 8, shouldn't the Honor 8 Lineage sources be the base for a Mate 9 port?

Apparently the unofficial lineage for Honor 8 uses stock honor 8 kernel.
I'm syncing now, might take a while.
Hopefully we just need to edit the Honor 8 sources for Mate 9.

I hope so!
It seems like we need some serious talent to get a proper rom ported.
I started messing around with building the kernel but, given my lack of experience, I wouldn't expect much.

I've only just started. I changed everything in devices, vendor left now. But that's just replacing Honor 8 text with Mate 9 text.
Got to replace files too.
I'm not a dev, I'm more a fixer guy xD
I'm not a dev, but I have programming experience and am willing to help since I'm now a Mate 9 user.
So guys, anyone set a team to work on this?

Android Oreo is stable as ever and have no issues.
Only devices with official/unofficial treble can "talk" about P development (example: MI A1, G5+, oneplus 6, moto Z) since the GSI is out there but has a lot of bugs, other devices will have to wait for P official release and then start developing and fixing issues..
I guess even if we don't get the full android P (remote possibility, if 32bit OS abruptly reaches EOL) then we can atleast get android P go edition. Though it's true that nothing can be said at the moment, I believe we have a group of very talented and experienced developers and they will leave no stone unturned ?
How close did we get to Treble? I know althafvly went above and beyond for a while. But to get 15.1 officially supported by lineageos… i don't know. For me there's no telling how far he got. Here's a link to his sources: https://github.com/MOTO-M8916 Maybe someone with more knowledge on this could shed some light on the progress? If this could get official 15.1 support by lineageos, there's a good chance we can get android P as well.

let me clear some myths regards treble for osprey/merlin
Reason 1: Supported device are 64bit.. so p ported is for 64bit device.. and we dont have 64bit drivers to use boot 64bit roms
Reason 2: As of now Forget GSI for osprey, no enough free partition for osprey. Only 16mb is there. But for treble we need more then 250+ mb.. so not possible...
Reason 3: For treble need atleast oreo base drivers .. in oprey we are using marshmallow and some nougat drivers.. so if anyhow we get treble, still u can't use GSI with full potential... ???
So conclusion is forget GSI.. ?

lineageos rom for redmi 6?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone knows if an android stock rom (lineageos, mokee, other...) is planned for this phone?

A developer see's a need to for Redmi6 Mediatec ROM he will develop, but don't wait it could never happen?
I tested lineageos15.1 and it worked, boot was ok and rom very smooth.
I will do it again as soon as I will have a day free.
A little help in the procedure would be great. I've already bricked my 6A by formatting the wrong directories, and had to go to a Xiaomi center to get it fixed. Details would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance ?

Yet SIM doesn't work that well from my experience. I have to "activate" SIM signal and calls and sms won't work.
Otherwise if you still want help reply to me
I still want help. I don't want another bricked phone, that was a nightmare I just don't need right now. Please describe the whole process, from start to finish.
I did it at a moment that I had several free hours.
But now, it's too complicated for me touche find Time to do it again.
I juste followed the steps described un official TWRP github, and then install LOS15.1 Treble image.
boot, login, smooth and wifi was ok But didn't have enough Time to test with a sim for calls or data...
So I reflash stock miui 10 with miflash to find an usable phone.
Juste need a free moment to test los15.1 again and other gsi roms like aosp8.1, pixel experience, etc...
Interested too
Hi.
i'm very interested in having your feedback as i intend to put LineageOS or AOSP Treble on my Redmi 6 global version next month after the bootloader unlock time.
Do you plan to install OpenGoogleApps and root too?
Thanks!

Android 10 ROMS for our beloved P2?--- A Discussion.

Does anyone know any developer who would be willing to make android-10 ROMS for our P2 or is Pie the last update for this awesome phone?

Hopefully not as the developers said that as long as they have this phone working they'll keep the development going. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Well, I hope there will be future development for this phone too. I'm using one for more than 2 years, and battery still rocks, it sure lasts more than any flagship !
as far as i can tell, mike is working on lineage os 17.
so at least one android 10 rom might be coming soon

Yea bro same, more than 2.5 years and still i get SOT of 6-7 hours.
Whenever i think of buying a new phone, i look at my p2 and i stop. Its still so smooth cuz of the ROMS and charges under 1 hour and 15 minutes.
This phone is the best purchase i ever had. So i want development to keep going on, atleast for 1 more iteration of Android. Then i'll maybe buy Redmi K20 pro next year cuz it'll also have good development in future.
@Erazor84 that's good news brother. But I'll wait for AOSP xtended Android-10 (if it ever comes)
Bcuz i used their Oreo build and now using pie, and i found them the best among all of'em.

My guess would be at least 2 more ROMs :fingers-crossed: one from @VladSor and second from @Fullbustah as they are consistent with porting/ developing the ROMs such as Havoc, Syberia, Bootleggers and POSP for P2.
But of course, we need a reliable vendor upgrade first.
Xiaomi redmi note 4 which has the same Specs has just got lineage 17.

Generic System Image (GSI) is pure untouched Android released by Google for treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.
Semi GSI (SGSI) is a customized GSI with features and name of a custom ROM and it can also be installed on treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.

The following url https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/rom-aosip-derpfest-t3981193 will give You access on this forum to the thread concerning AOSiP-10-DerpFest-Alpha-kuntao-20191009.zip which is the first alpha version of the first Android 10 custom rom dedicated to the Lenovo P2.
If You are interested in testing this Android 10 rom, just follow the installation instructions given on the first page of the thread.
If I well understood, I think that someone, maybe mikeioannina ?, should now be working on a Android 10 rom LineageOS 17. If this is the case, all we can do is to be patient.
You will note that from now on we must say Android 10 instead of Q as asked by Google. So, next year, the next version of Android will be Android 11 and not R.
Below is the lineageos github page for Kuntao (Lenovo P2a42), the branch is on 17.0, but it seems it hadn't been developed on in 4 months, but i don't know how these things go...

Hello I've tried all of the versions on my KUNTAO, at the beggining very laggy now better, there are some ROMS which you can use w/out a problem if you can live w/out some of the features like the FP GESTURES OR AA CONNECTIVITY.
HAVOC 3.0 (NOT THE TREBLE VERSION) to me is the best option till this post furthermore I don't know.
CHHERS
So, We are half a year further from the last post in this thread, any news on the stability and performance of the android 10 rom's? Im right now on Crdroid Pie ROM and except fingerprint kicking the bucket everything is working flawlessly. Any stable and well performing 10 rom's out there, or should we wait a little longer?

[ROM][Phusson GSIs] Phusson GSI Stability

Despite development seeming dead for this device, there is hope:Phusson's GSIs. Please can anyone who uses them or tests them report beck their device vendor (EMUI 9.1/EMUI 9.0/EMUI 8.0) and which ROM gave them success/failiure. Then the best ROMs can be shared amongst everyone.
Thanks in advance
On Github I saw a user named Foxanto who reported that fingerprint worked fine on HavocOS 3.2 but wasn't working in HavocOS 3.5
why dont you just use openkirin.net?
I just visited openkirin.net for the first time. Do all of those EMUI 9 roms work if you're on EMUI 9 on the Honor 9? Why aren't these ROMs posted here on xda?
Hi.
Somebody successfully installed this GSI? If yes, is fingerprint unlock and camera working?

Openkirin didn't work on my device, ended in a boot loop that I have been struggling to fix all by myself without any kinda help from their support team save one person whose information was basically generic like you can use any recovery among all the emui 9 and 9.1 devices, which I found out to be true, but I am still stuck on a boot loop. And, no I didn't meddle with or try to install a custom ROM like TWRP.
