Hi everyone.
Im no Programmer and dont know a lot of coding, but i love open source and the /e/ foundation. Perhaps some oft you also like the /e/ Ecosystem.
So it would be great if one oft you could build an /E/ OS Image for our G100 Phone.
thanks a lot.
what is /e/ ???
e Foundation - deGoogled unGoogled smartphone operating systems and online services - your data is your data
your data is YOUR data
e.foundation
Here the build instructions: https://doc.e.foundation/how-tos/build-e

Hi,
I'm an advanced Android developer but now I was required to create a custom Android Build for a client, but I have no experience with this.
Does anyone know any training or any hacker that could give me a training on this? Basically, it would be like using the busybox tools, download and build custom Android images, install images on the device and everything related.
I'm from Brazil but I can travel to US if necessary.
Thanks for any help with this.
Marcio Alexandroni.
Hello everyone,
First of all I want to thanks community and congratulations for all this great information.
I'm working in my final career project, and I want to present a tool for helping in static and dynamic analysis of APKs ( if somebody want to take a look it is AndroidSwissKnife in github) .
The dynamic analysis I took the code from the project DroidBox (mentioned in my code), I updated it to Python 3 (fixing some problems). But now I have a problem, the system image that comes with DroidBox is an android 4.1.
As part of my project I want to update my tool to support Android 5.1, or even Android 6 and I need to modificate in any way the android image to hook some method calls, and I thought in Xposed framework.
I would like if anyone can give me information to start learning in the android's security world, custom ROMs and Xposed framework.
Thanks to every one. Kind regards.
I'm a kind of lazy man and not good in English. Building a whole rom from source code can be a hard work for me since I have no experience about dealing with any programming except porting rom for a device. I haven't done this for a long time since 4 years ago. But Google's project treble was an brilliant news for me.
I want to try for a Chinese rom called Smartisan OS, and also noticed that Pixel/XL has so less developer, unlike Nexus5, which has so many custom roms for flashing.
But I don't understand project treble completely, only heard the news. Is there any official or unofficial documents teaching us to use this function for developing custom-made roms?
Will it be necessary to build a rom from source code from project treble, or just simply doing some copy and paste (kind of like the roms I've made for a Chinese tablet. I was only unpack the kernel as well as rom zips and paste some stuff then repack them, it did worked)?
BTW, Smartisan OS seems to be based on Android 7.x and no official news about supporting project treble, I don't know can it be done if the target rom don't support project treble at all.
Forgive me if I'm too nasty, just curious.
I'm a user of lineage OS on the fairphone 2.
I have a big problem with lineage os version 17 on my phone. It constantly freezes when I use different applications (Timer, Telegram, even sometimes when I get calls). I don't now why. Either it's a hardware problem (broken RAM) or it is a software bug. I wanted to test an older version of lineage OS like version 16 with android 9. I read something about some problems (like freezes) with android 10 which some devices have.
The problem is, there are no older versions of lineage OS for fairphone 2 (older than version 17). Is there a way to get the older versions?
I would be very gratefull.
Regards

You could try if some other Android 10 versions like /e/ ( based on LineageOS) or LineageOS for MicroG are working.
Or you could build LineageOS 16.0 yourself:
GitHub - LineageOS/android at lineage-16.0
Contribute to LineageOS/android development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
good luck
Thank you for the suggestions.
I don't want to use MicroG because I want to have an OS free of Google. Maybe I will try /e/
I don't know if I have the necessary skills to build a ROM myself to be honest. But maybe that's the best choice. So thank you. I will dig into it.

well i am not an expert but as far as i know microG is here to replace all your google libraries and stuff (like the google play service) with non-google libraries etc.
But it also gives you the option to use your google account by using these open source mircoG libraries, but you dont have to.
take a look at https://old.reddit.com/r/MicroG/wiki/index
Yeah, your're right. But it's still using the google services and infrastructures. And that is something I don't want to use
Hi, I have the same issue. My Fairphone 2 just freeze (Lineage OS 17.0). Not sure how to debug them.
The device just freezes and restarts sometimes. Is there a way to get debug information about the crash?
Hi,
I‘m looking for a tablet as a development platform for gettting into custom android firmware development. What device (current or discontinued) is the most painless to compile a custom rom for with a current android regarding unlocking and driver support in 2021?
I‘m an electronics engineer and have worked on firmware for arm microcontrollers and did some kernel development for embedded linux (yocto) before.
I have the idea of creating an open source custom android for elderly people and small children that is pretty much locked down and has a simplified interface without cryptic messages. All settings, app installation and user support should be done from an app on another device. I think all the building blocks for this exists, I just want to put them together in one package. If you have suggestions for an existing base rom to build this on I‘d be happy to hear about it.
Cheers,
Rick
