[Q] Building AOSP (not CM) for the OPO, is it possible?

Hi, I've just received my OPO on the 27th. I was really interested in Android development when I had my Nexus 5 and started building my own AOSP ROM, I've been looking into doing the same for the OPO but am unable to find an actual way of building AOSP with Google's code. I know OPO released their AOSP kernel source here: https://github.com/OnePlusTech/android_kernel_oneplus_one and CyanogenMod has thiers here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974 but I'm unable to work out a way of including these into my AOSP build and I would prefer to not build CM.
Note: I'd like to build AOSP myself, I'm fully aware that there is a current official OPO build available.
Thanks in advance,
Lewis

It's advisable that you create your own tree from the CAF MSM8974 using CM GPS and other drivers and build CAF AOSP. Otherwise, it's close to impossible/very difficult. Pure AOSP is again near impossible/very difficult for non nexus devices.

Thank you very much for the reply, so building AOSP is pretty much impossible then?
I was having a look around on the internet last night and came across this: http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...uild-aosp-kitkat-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/
Would there be a way of adapting this guide to allow for an easier build process of AOSP for our device? The other confusion that I face is if it's impossible to build AOSP for the OPO then how are ROMs such as this available?

VanirAOSP uses CM trees as of now. Again, CAF AOSP is basically AOSP for non nexus Qualcomm devices., and any experienced dev can whip up a tree and get it working. Also, reaally good devs can/may be able to port AOSP if they wanted. It's a matter of whether they want to do it or not.
That link is for Sony devices only because Sony already provides CAF trees as an OEM so devs can build.

Ah yes, I see what you're saying now. Thanks for clearing this up for me! I just noticed when I looked at the VanirAOSP ROM thread that it states CM for it's credits, haha. I apologize for my ignorance.

Hello
I would like to create my first rom for oneplus one but without modification from OMNI or CM, basically vanilla rom. but I have some doubts.
Can I create a rom based on AOSP with device tree from OMNI/CM right?
Thanks!

WIP* ( port) Linage OS LG Stylo 2 plus

Development is dead. Please delete..

Good news I have a working Linage OS 13 build for the lg stylo 2 Plus GSM. Thought it was bug free still has some issues though . My PC took a dump I have the sources saved on my hard drive I will have a new PC on Feb 6 and will release the Rom For Free probably with in a few days from then. As I'm almost done porting a working lineage OS 14 for the device.
I will update the device tree on Github So I can get help from other devs to trouble shoot these issues better and collaborate works. I will also include a working recovery with the Rom for free . I am doing this in my free time so please be patient .
I will keep you posted ?
Any people interested in helping let me know.

Not at the moment I had the backlight on my display burn out . had to flash the stock rom back for warranty purposes and for some reason every time I try and back up via twrp the data gets corrupted.
So the only place I have a working Rom is stored on a hard drive and I get my PC back on the 6th this month so it will be up soon.

Got the new laptop up and running building starts tommorrow.

All souces are downloaded . I will start building the device tree tonight hopefully by end of week myself and @messi2050 will have a working lineage OS build for the ph2n. I stood up all night working on the list of proprietary files need for the build.
Now comes the hard work of adding all the required blobs to get it all functional please be patient. As we are doing this in out free time. Once the device tree is all setup it will be a lot easier to port other roms to this device such as omni aokp DU and so much more. I chose a 13 build as I'm new to this and its a lot easier to port a Rom that has many components that are stable with the version.
If you appreciate our work buy us a cup of coffee. Or hit the thanks button for the Devs working on this build .
Thanks to all the xda community.

We should work on a changelog concerning drivers for cheaper models like my tmousa k550.

i am working on the blobs using @JackpotClavin utility tool to pull all the blobs needed for the build. once we have a stable tree we can work on building other roms.

Good news we have the the last branch to the tree built so builds will start this week sometime. We have a lot of work ahead still so be patient.
Tree source and blobs are on github.

Both you and Messi are doing amazing things. When this is done, both of you are getting a cup of java (I couldn't resist Java instead of Joe or Coffee). I downloaded the jackpotcalvindonkey thing yesterday, did the make on it, but didn't get it out.
Btw, your github shows no public repos.

Well that was quick

[REFERENCE] [OOS/CUSTOM] OnePlus 3 kernel source with linux-stable (3.18.124)

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a thread to introduce both users and kernel developers to the concept of linux-stable as well as give developers some tips and a tree to either merge into their own, use as a base, or just as a reference. Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!
What is it?
linux-stable is, as the name implies, the stable branch of the Linux kernel, the base of Android. The phone could not run without the Linux kernel (at least not without reworking a lot of stuff). The Android kernels are based on the longterm stable trees:
Longterm
There are usually several "longterm maintenance" kernel releases provided for the purposes of backporting bugfixes for older kernel trees. Only important bugfixes are applied to such kernels and they don't usually see very frequent releases, especially for older trees.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Source: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
All Linux development happens on the master branch, which is governed by Linus Torvalds. When issues are discovered there, the fixes are applied then backported to these various stable trees for consumption. It is not uncommon for a fix to need to go back a few years.
There is a LOT more information available in the notes repo in the android-linux-stable organization if you care to learn more in-depth: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/notes
What does this mean for me?
If you are a developer, this means you should be merging these changes into your own tree. These are vetted, stable fixes to real world problems and they are being handed out for free. It does not take long to get up to date (as you can just merge this tree directly into your own or do it yourself using the tree as a reference) and once you are up to date, there is usually a release once every two weeks, give or take. I provide a rebuttal to a lot of various complaints here. If you still feel like there is a good reason not to do this, please let me know, I'll be happy to try and debate on it!
If you are a user, it means that you should be looking for and using kernels that have these fixes, as it shows the developers care for your security and stability. The current version for this device is either 3.18.66 (OxygenOS) or 3.18.71 (LineageOS and most likely all other custom ROMs) and the current version upstream is 3.18.124 so all you need to do is go into Settings > About phone and look at the kernel version to know if you are up to date.
How do I use?
If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the android-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/op3
There are three branches: one for OxygenOS stable, one for OxygenOS beta, and one for Lineage 15.1.
This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).
If you are a user, use a kernel that has the changes added in!
Getting notified about updates
There are a few ways to get notified of linux-stable updates:
The linux-kernel-announce mailing list: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel-announce
The android-linux-stable Telegram channel: https://t.me/alsupdates
Subscribe to this thread
Follow me on Google+ or Twitter
Getting help
If you have any issues with getting these changes into your tree or want to ask a question, there are a few different ways to do it:
Post in this thread
Join the linux-stable support chat on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/C1UAJ1EMSX31PCFdwLnOSg
File an issue either in the android-linux-stable notes repo or the android-linux-stable repo for this device
When requesting help, please give some solid details as to what you are struggling with, as I am happy to provide assistant and clarity but not to do something for you (unless I screwed up).

hmm this helps a lot bro. Thanks for opening this thread. So, here comes my first question - how can we make a kernal compatible with most of the Oreo roms which we have at present like nos, Z, Pixel, Aosip or omni or others as they all use different.

[UNOFFICIAL][ROM][10.0/9.0] LineageOS 17.1/16.0 [violet][Q/PIE]

Introduction
A spinoff thread from the previously-supported-official thread by Atman.
This thread will contain my unofficial builds for violet. On the 16.0 version, the only real fix (so far...) have been the fingerprint scanner sepolicy denials. I aim to do monthly/bimonthly builds to keep up to date with security patches, as so far I haven't encountered any other issues (let me know).
On the 17.1 version, I have slowly figured out how to make it work, but it is highly experimental.
The 16.0 ROM is stable (I use it as my daily driver).
If you find any bugs, please do take screenshots, give a way for me to replicate it on my device, and send a logcat. If you're super smart, use a logcat and filter for the keyword so I don't have to do even more digging
Please don't tell me to use PE/Mokee commits.
Yet another update. I've got 17.1 builds working without having to resort to cheap tricks and commits (sort of).
Flash instructions
Same as usual:
Reboot to fastboot and flash recovery with fastboot (You have to use the TWRP linked below. Other versions likely won't boot.)
Reboot to recovery TWRP
Wipe to format data, wipe again to wipe system and cache (not necessary if you're updating, only if you're switching ROMs)
Flash firmware (ADB sideload) (this step is dated. The newer builds have a higher target firmware so you should try to flash without the firmware first, then flash the firmware if the ROM doesn't work.)
Flash the ROM (sideload)
Flash GApps, Magisk, etc. as necessary
Done
Downloads (16.0) (STABLE)
Firmware (Dated firwmare)
Recovery (TWRP)
11-Jun-2021 build (with 05-May-2021 security patch), and MD5 Digest
For previous builds see below
Downloads (17.1)
Here's the 17.1 ROM. Here's the md5 hash. It has the March security patch.
It currently does not boot. If you would like to try and help with development, flash the ROM, and then flash the Chinese Q firmware on top of it (this can be downloaded from xiaomifirmwareupdater). Be warned that there is a risk that the newest android keymaster may re-encrypt your device, which in the worst case may require you to format data and/or reflash recovery and/or flash a fastboot MIUI rom. So, it's a bit risky, but likely won't be an issue.
Credits, Sources, etc.
Too many to mention. Atman Shah for getting this device supported earlier last year. ThE_MarD (Marc Bougoin) for other help. Various other names I've seen - Bruno Martins, Weikai Kong, Wang Han... all of the Lineage dev team. I'm sure I'm missing many people who have been involved in the project. I am new, and very much a latecomer to all of this.

That's great
by any chance will you consider adding signature spoofing support? that would be really great. it would help many users go for microG instead of gapps
I completely understand you're starter.
great work. good luck.
Thank you

No, but there are a few alternatives:
Merge the changes from this RFC and build it
Download the spoofer from https://download.lineage.microg.org/violet/, or get the (ed)Xposed module, or other possibilities...

As per OP: I'm waiting on both Android 10 firmware blobs + kernel to be released by Xiaomi... I'm not sure how the other ROM devs get around this, if it's easy to forward-port or not. But for now, only LOS 16.

Heyyo @hcnulma good to see you got your thread up and going!
As for 17.1? You can work with your current kernel and cherry-pick the fixes that other maintainers of violet are using and same for the device tree and vendor blobs.
As an example, LeEco msm8996 devives are using kernel source code from Marshmallow just rebased on a CAF Q Tag for our kernel since we never got anything newer...
Even once Xiaomi release their kernel source code for Android 10? It would probably take quite a bit of work to shave it down to what you specifically need and then importing it on top of a fresh CAF tag for the kernel or even more work to try and inplement it into uour current kernel.
To get official builds of LOS 16.0 going again for violet you would need to show that you are capable of fixing any major bugs that arise as well.

anywho, hope this information helps bud!

From what I understand, using their kernel tree will mean I'll have to change a lot of references in my own device tree, and using their device tree on top of that is essentially just building PE, not Lineage.
In any case, I did find the Snapdragon 675 (ie sm6150) kernel trees for Q in several places, https://github.com/sm6150-dev/android_kernel_xiaomi_sm6150 and https://github.com/PixelExperience-Devices/kernel_xiaomi_sm6150. I'll take a closer look into this...
I did find the most recent CAF kernel under sm6150 here, but there seems to be an issue of this not showing up in /quic/la... Something will be resolved. Hopefully.

you won't have to make any changes in the kernel as far as I know and as for the device tree you just have to make some changes according to the ROM
as every ROM uses the same device tree
and you won't be making pe instead of lineage as the same device tree and kernel are used in every Q ROM except EvoX which uses crimson kernel

Thanks. I will use it as my benchmark to build RR pie.

It is precisely the device tree that I'm worried about. From experience, PE has a lot of platform-specific stuff that Lineage doesn't (and the same the other way), and also from trying to figure out the fix to 16.0 I realised there's a lot of context/definition differences between the two device trees. I'd still give it a look, but I suspect it might be easier to just modify the current 16.0 device tree.

Yeah I already figured it was msm-4.14. Have already cloned it but am also considering cherrypicking changes that other devs have done to their kernel trees from 16.0 -> 17.1 as opposed to starting with the CAF kernel. A work in progress.

Sir I'm noob but mokee dev released android 10 and i think mokee and los are pretty same, will he not help you if you contact him?

An update on where I am:
I'm not sure whether to use the PE or Mokee vendor trees. Neither of them have much resemblance to 16.0 tree I have so cherry picking changes will be a nightmare.
The PE vendor tree has a lot of device-tree-specific commits, which will make it a headache to untangle later on. The Mokee vendor tree also has a lot of differing firmware files, though is a bit more similar to the LOS tree.
I'm doing a bit of experimentation to figure out which one will last better in the long run, since I can't seem to get my hands on any MIUI Android Q firmware blobs.

Yet another update. I've got 17.1 builds working without having to resort to cheap tricks and commits (sort of).
Here's the 17.1 ROM. Here's the md5 hash. Needless to say, it's very experimental, not stable in the least (expect to get past boot maybe 70% of the time) - I'm getting very mixed results when experimenting myself. Nevertheless, try it out, see what you get. Install it the same way as usual. Keen to get as many eyes on this as possible
