------PLEASE READ ALL!!!------
as already I mentioned in my previous post this ROM will install Android 5.0.1 lollipop on our phone. The ROM based on Android 4.1.2 system, in fact, are the main features of andorid 4.1.2, but in practice, and a kind of amalgamation of andorid jelly beans and lollipop.
one of the first features found when you go to turn on the phone and the Manu phone unlock style andorid jelly beans but for practicality and speed are those of Android lollipop. another thing you notice, and the reaction of the system when you go to open an application. then there are other things that make this a unique ROM, that is all based on CyanogenMod 10 and 12 and of course a version modified by me personally and by other developers (Zeta99 and Unity Team).
Now I show you a list of all the new features:
-speed battery charge increased by 30%, comparable "almost" to that of the Samsung Galaxy S6;
-Stability system increased by 10%;
-the improvement of the streaming video and the reaction of the system;
-possibility to increase the RAM phone attraverso swaps that do not create any problems or crash the system;
-possibility to download almost all apps except those that are officially Android lollipop;
-new app including Xposed modules that enhance both the graphics and the phone is its performance;
-all phone app have been partially modified to make it so it is not wasted too much RAM or battery;
-autonomy battery stable (however advise you not straining too much, otherwise it leads to serious problems for both the battery and the phone is);
-and many other new features ...
BUT I'M SORRY tell you, but I HAD PROMISED THAT THE 3D IN A POST PAST ARE NOT ABLE TO PUT IT, WHY PHONE FIRST IS ABLE TO Protect it BUT THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS WENT IN CRASH AND THEN I WAS FORCED TO REMOVE it, but never say never, in fact it may be that in a future update of the phone to be able to insert, without creating crash the phone. However, I can announce that soon will come two new updates:
-one that will bring Android 5.0.2, with some improvements and fixes minor bugs;
-one that will bring Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with major changes to most of the system is perhaps our dear beloved 3D!!!
the installation file weighs about 780 mb so I recommend you also leave free 2 GB to make room also backup and emergency system otherwise do my (recommended version 4.2.2 pacman).
But now I'll explain how to install the ROM on your LG-P920:
-for the first thing we connect our phone via USB cable to our PC;
-So We copy the RAR ROM Lolli 5.0.1.rar (extracts the desktop) files in the main memory of the phone where we have the backup folder clockworkmod (if there is you then do this: press the power button + volume button upwards , the phone will reboot into recovery mode and you have a couple of options available to us we need backup and restore, let's go on with the volume keys and confirming with the power button, and go to select up and he will make us a backup version and all files, settings, etc ... we have in the phone, you now have the backup folder). "To download clockworkmod clockworkmod.apk write on the internet and download the apk file on your phone."
-after clockworkmod downloaded on our phone we turn off our phone is press the power button + volume button upwards, the phone will reboot into recovery mode and you have a couple of options, we need to us "wipe cache partition "and" wipe data / factory reset ".
-Let's go first to wipe cache partition and run it and after aniamo to wipe data / factory reset and run it.
-Now go to "backup and restore" with the volume keys and confirming with the power button, and then select Restore and select ROM Lolli 5.0.1
- After confirming with the power button the phone will install the package there, waiting lob install the package and now we will have our phone with Android 5.0.1 (unofficial) installed
CAUTION:
1. do not install the "gapps.rar" files because the applications we need are already in the system rar files.
2. Before installing the system, make a backup "total!" our current system (pictures, music, contacts, messages, etc ..) and save it on your computer.
3. in addition to the system that you want to download mettetene also one of "emergency", because if the current gaming system that you downloaded does not work, bring in recovery mode system and install the emergency system and then install the backup you made before .
4. for every problem in the messages ask and I'll try to make a general answer to the problem you have.
5. do not totally rely on the system (for everyday use) because there are still some problems that I will solve in the future with new versions that come out.
6. the phone is responsive to commands you give it to avoid thermal warming much will always recommend every6. the phone is responsive to commands you give it to avoid thermal warming much will always recommend every time you use an app to close it when you do not need or use CLEANMASTER or other application to clean the remaining ram.
7. Enjoy your phone updated

[ROM] AOSP 7.x for Galaxy S 4G

Code:
Code:
/*
* Your probably long expired warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you
* and point my finger right back at you.
*/
Installation Instructions
It will wipe your entire SD card! In order to make things work better, I've set it up to use the entire SD card as /data as opposed to having two partitions. The advantage is that you don't have to pick a size of /data.
If on a BML rom (stock-based GB)...
Untested, but is setup to hopefully work. If it doesn't flash my 6.0 Omni first
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Make sure your version of CWM is at least 5.x
3. Install zip. First time will fail and let you know its repartionning. Second time it will reboot a couple of times, don't be worried.
4. If you want gapps, reboot to recovery, wipe data+cache and install gapps.
5. If you want root, flash according to instructions in Post #3
If on an MTD rom (CM7 and all ICS+)
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Wipe data, dalvik/art cache, system, and cache partitions
3. Install zip. First time will fail and let you know its repartionning. Second time it will reboot a couple of times, don't be worried.
4. If you want root or Gapps, install them now.
The first boot can take several minutes. Be patient. If it takes 20+ minutes, pull the battery and reboot to recovery.
Things to Take Note Of
I actually have a T959P, not a T959V... It was released by Telus in Canada. It is a very similar device (I can run ROMs for the T959V with limited problems - ie sometimes I get wakelocks and the gps never works), it has a different GPS chipset and also uses different cell bands (but I can still use your guys modems but I lose access to the 850Mhz band). I have created a build specifically for the T959V as best as I can guess.
If you're coming from either the last Lollipop build or the initial pre-release Marshmallow build, there is a bug in TWRP that will prevent flashing anything but the ROM. To get around this, please flash the Marshmallow zip, then reboot to recovery, and then follow the typical instructions.
If you decide to install gapps at a later date (ie after you've installed the ROM), you must do a factory reset first - otherwise you will get force-closes upon bootup
If you come across a bug, feel free to let me know by posting in this thread. I will not be working non-stop on this project, but will try to fix bugs that affect me as this is still my main phone (out of choice, not necessity).
This build is very close to the official AOSP source code. Recovery is TWRP but otherwise there aren't any added "features"
Gapps eat up about an extra 30MB of RAM so they slow down the device - tread carefully. Opengapps pico works on the latest 7.0 build, untested on 7.1 but should work just fine
Backup Backup Backup! I'm not responsible for you losing any data.
Working
Camera (built-in app needs workaround, see below)
RIL
SMS
Recovery
Bluetooth - first time it won't enable if enabling through settings, back out and then second time it will. Works just fine from status bar pulldown
Wifi
Vibration
Automatic Brightness
Compass
GPS on T959P, untested on T959V
Headset Buttons
SElinux in enforcing mode - this may have broken the T959V's gps...
Partially working
Camera and Browser apps need to have all their permissions manually enabled through settings for full functionality. This is because I've used the older Camera app (which hasn't been updated for dynamic permissions) and the older Browser app as the new one is simply a test shell with no features (thanks Google!)
What's been removed
TV-Out - It was removed upstream plus I think binary blobs would need a ton of shimming in Lollipop+
Everything else is not tested!!!

Thanks Time!
Thanks Time!
This would not have been possible without the following people:
Thanks to humberos for bringing Lollipop to the first-gen Galaxy S series. This would not have been possible without his work.
Thanks to FB and Dao for their work on the CM-11 device tree. I used several of their fixes.
Thanks to noiphonehere for his device trees and kernel, most of my work was based off of his.
Thanks to the OMAP4 AOSP team for their work on porting CMA to a 3.0 kernel.
Thanks to bhundven and the other members of teamacid for their work on the aries kernel.
Thanks to all others that have helped get this phone to where it is today!
Thanks to vcmerritt. A name you're probably not familiar with, but he was the only one to create something for the T959P and without him I'd still be on stock...
Build your own!
Follow https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html. The branch you want when you run repo init is the latest tag from https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html#source-code-tags-and-builds for your desired android version (7.0 or 7.1). Before you run repo sync, from the WORKING_DIRECTORY/.repo folder, run "git clone https://github.com/xc-racer99/local_manifests -b BRANCH" where BRANCH is either aosp-7.0 or aosp-7.1. Continue on with the build guide, the device codename you want is "galaxys4gmtd".
If you want to build the kernel, follow the instructions in WORKING_DIRECTORY/kernel/samsung/aries/AOSP_README. Put the resulting arch/arm/boot/zImage in device/samsung/galaxys4gmtd-kernel
Other aries devices (captivate, i9000, i9000B, vibrant) should be fairly easy to do (ie the galaxysmtd on my github as well as the captivate trees work). The fascinate and p1 would need a fair bit of work.
Changelogs
Changelog for 2016-12-19
December security patches
goes back to the older graphics drivers so hardware recording works but has a kernel patch to prevent crashes
Tweaked the graphics drivers options so it seems a little bit faster
Tweaked the RIL a little bit for better stability
Other things I've forgotten about, see github for details
Changelog for 2016-12-19-V2
Kernel without slowdowns....
Changelog for 2017-1-19
selinux to enforcing - this may break the T959V's GPS - if it does, let me know and send me a dmesg and I'll fix it
Update to the interactive governor - should have less slowdowns if using the default governor
Slightly better RIL reliability (I think)
Better low memory killing - we now don't run out of memory as often
Hardware decoding re-enabled
Slightly less intensive background services
Based on 7.1.1_r13

Downloads!
All builds can be downloaded from AndroidFileHost at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=58191
Gapps
The smallest http://opengapps.org/ package for 7.0 is known to work, but any small 7.0 gapps package should work. However, they will cause the device to slowdown significantly as they use a fair bit of RAM. Gapps are untested on 7.1
This ROM is compatible with MicroG (https://microg.org/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616) gapps. This is an open-source reimplementation of Google Play Services that doesn't track you and uses way less battery than the original.
Root
Root is achieved via Magisk or SuperSU.
MagiskDue to our odd partition layout, you need to use my custom Magisk install zip (source code here) attached to this post and not the official install or the Magisk Manager install. Then follow the instructions on how to root/install other modules from http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 Also, don't try to use the official Magisk uninstall tool as it won't work.
SuperSU
Please note: I've been told this doesn't work any more, YMMV
Again, we need a custom SuperSU install zip for it to work due to our partition scheme. It should be an all-in-one zip so it's simplier than Magisk (but not open source). This is based off of the latest (at time of writing) 2.79SR1 release, the diff is below

Thanks, I used the link that I would use if I was already logged in, my bad. OP is now updated.

It's been a while, no home internet and very busy life lately but the time I did get The 7.0 zip to flash (0930) it was running very well, no random reboots and limited freezes (just 1 really)
BUT. I always reinstall a new ROM to get the process down and- I haven't been able to get it running again. Let alone with root which I haven't managed to do. When I install the ROM now it gives me a quick first boot however it says encryption unsuccessful and asks me to reset. Resetting and factory resetting as well as formatting won't help it.
Excellent work ^_^ you're becoming the new SGS4G guru around here
As for a new setting in the dev options, labeled Consistent Logging-- if I turn this on is it A: Safe in terms of information vulnerability and B: Will it fill up my SD card quickly with a mass amount of logging data?

Hmm, flash the ROM, go into recovery, change the filesystem of /data to ext4 or f2fs. The error sounds as if the sdcard is formatted as fat while it shouldn't be. If that doesn't work, please send me the contents of /sdcard/aries_mtd.log after you've installed it.
Hadn't noticed the new "persistent logging" section. I suspect that what it does it keep the logcat contents over a reboot. Since the logcat does have a max size, it is probably safe to enable it. I highly doubt it contains any more info than a regular logcat.

Thanks for keeping this device alive in this community! My kids wanted to use it for simple games so I dusted it off and came here to see if anything was still in development and sure enough there was!
I tested going from BML stock and it worked! I had to restart the install 5 times, but it ultimately took. The first two times installed TWRP, then it rebooted into TWRP. Then it took 3 additional times before it went through the whole install. It booted up fine, but I had messed up and forgot to do a full reset before install gapps. So it would boot the encryption screen telling me it was interrupted and I had to reset the phone. Unfortunately at that point no matter what I did it would always boot to that encryption error screen. So I wiped completed and started over but mistakenly flashed the 7.1 build. It went through but was stuck on a boot loop. So now i can't install 7.0 because it keeps telling me it can't install over newer builds. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do i have to start from stock all over again?
Edited* Update
I went ahead and started from scratch but still ran in to the same problem with the encryption. Didn't install gapps this time.

Ok, sounds like a messed up somewhere. I'll do some testing and try to release an updated build. Could you please post the output of /sdcard/aries_bml.log and /sdcard/aries_mtd.log? The "Encryption Unsuccessful" message sounds as if the SD wasn't properly formatted to ext4/f2fs.

Hi xc-racerr99, I found what the issue was. Apparently I had an extra partition on the sdcard. After removing it and running the install script again everything booted up and i'm now using the ROM! It's awesome I have Nougat on this old Galaxy S. Without Gapps it's been running really stable and very responsive..
However, at this point, I've tried opengapps pico and TKgapps pico and neither work. The script runs and says update completed, but it's too fast. When I boot to the ROM no gapps were installed. Is there another gapps you would recommend trying?

Odd, I thought my install script removed the extra partition.
Anyways, it sounds as if there's some issue with recovery. You could try replacing the ramdisk-recovery.img in the ROM zip you downloaded with the one from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767105384. Then reboot to recovery and flash your gapps package again.
Doesn't work....
I'll try to do some more testing with gapps and from stock with 1 or 2 partitions when I get a chance.

I figured out a sure fire way to boot 7.0, I'm running it as I respond with XDA app right now. But to keep it short if possible, I just fix permissions then factory wipe before I run the zip- do this while on CWM right after you heimdall to BML.
So to recap:
1- Flash to stock via heimdall
2- Fix permissions + factory wipe
3- Flash 7.0 zip
4- TWRP should boot- so flash ROM once more - wipe caches
5- Reboot and chew some nougat
Will follow up with a log next time I try to get the 7.1 rolling. ?
Oh! And when I add my email (hotmail) I get a bad handshake everytime. Do I need gapps to sync my contacts?

Yeah, I get a bad handshake as well. Only happens with hotmail/oulook accounts, my gmail and my other email work just fine.
I figured out what was causing the issues with install from BML - on TWRP boot, it wasn't setting up the sdcard properly. I've now fixed it so that it should work regardless (in the next build, obviously).

Anyways, it sounds as if there's some issue with recovery. You could try replacing the ramdisk-recovery.img in the ROM zip you downloaded with the one from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767105384. Then reboot to recovery and flash your gapps package again.

Gave this a try and still no luck.
Update **
It actually killed the recovery. Recovery just keeps crashing and rebooting when trying to get in to it. Tried it from the a clean install and same results. Will wait for your next build. Thanks for putting time in to this!

Odd, it lets me add my gmail but only syncs my emails- no option for contacts still. I ought to keep a vcf from my other device jic.
The performance is even better than M and it doesn't have the weird battery glitch anymore ?? (I think the new partition layout helped a lot.)
Another thing I noticed, sometimes my SIM won't register or gives me a no signal indicator. I can't get root still either[emoji14]still poking around. Looking forward to the next build ?
Edit: Another bug I noticed is the inability to save files through the browser or Tumblr app for example.
(By the way, just wanted to add, I hope I'm still being more help than a nag or something. I aim to be helpful. So I look for things that seem astray. Heh)

I've never used the contact sync.
With SIM not registering, it's because Google introduced a bug and the workaround the bug causes the SIM to occasionally not work. One of the problems with legacy devices I guess.
With the files not saving, manually grant the storage permission in Settings->Apps - it doesn't seem to automatically update for most apps.
With root, sounds like I should modify the SuperSU install zip as it's easier to use (but not open-source). For the PHH Superuser, you need
1) The Magisk-7-SGS.zip from my thread.
2) The phh-superuser-r259.zip from the Magisk root thread (link in OP)
3) The PHH Superuser app from the Play Store or FDroid
Even then, it only works for certain apps as it doesn't mount anything to /system/xbin/su which is what some apps look for
Edit: And I have no issues if you keep posting here with the problems you find, it's good to know.

bootloop
just tried to flash this 7.1 rom from your omnirom 6.0. Seemed to flash ok as described. couldn't get pico opengapps to flash but ignored it. Now it's stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery using hardware buttons. Any guidance as to how I should proceed? As a relative novice, can I push a new recovery through ADB and try again?

Well, it depends on where you are bootlooping. If you're stuck at either of the first two splash screens, then you're out of luck with ADB as it isn't available yet. If you're bootlooping but getting to the bootanimation, then you can. To do so, run
Code:
$ adb root
$ adb shell mkdir /data/ramdisk
$ adb shell mount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data/ramdisk
$ adb push ramdisk-recovery.img /data/ramdisk
$ adb reboot recovery
where ramdisk-recovery.img is from the AOSP 7.0 zip.
If you're stuck at the first or second splash screens, then you need Odin or Heimdall. With heimdall, you can do
Code:
$ heimdall flash --KERNEL boot.img
where the boot.img is the one from Omni 6.0, the one from 7.x won't work on its own as the recovery is not stored in it. You can use Odin to go back to stock.
I haven't tried gapps so I guess I should sometime and see what the issue with them is.

Gets to the second splash screen. I'll give that a shot when i have some free time. I'm really looking forward to getting this working as I'm amused by the idea of my oldest android phone running the newest OS before my other two.
Update: couldn't get it to work with my cheap laptop. Kept throwing up the libusb 12 error. Then when i finally gave up and pulled the battery, I noticed it was starting to bulge a little. I think I'm out for a while. I'm hoping i can come back to this soon.

Did not solve the problem so far. Wifi is even broken after restoring the los 12.1 backup which worked before
Edit: uploaded logcat

Ok, i reflashed the old carliv recovery via fastboot after installing Los13 and i got wifi back ...
And afterwards i flashed twrp again via fastboot and wifi is still working...
Previously i flashed the twrp zip from carliv, i guess this was part of the problem

reflashing recoveries in fastboot not worked for me :/

I also wiped everything including internal storage before, and bootet into each of the two recoveries and to the system from there.
Maybe the carliv recovery changes some things on the system, idk.

Hi, I am so glad that this is still alive project
I upgraded recovery via mtk flesher. Just rename twrp 3.1.1... into recover.img and click "download".
My wifi and bluetooth are working. Sometimes bluetooth have conflict with wifi and plain reboot fix things.
It is strange that not a single one sensor work(acceleration and gravity, magnetic field, orientation and rotation. They all worked in 12.1 beside rotation. Hope thing are going to get fixed up.
Had a few freezes also(hard reset do the job)
Overall I have a feeling that this is smoother than 12.1.
EDIT: It was misleading about recovery flash. You need to extract from twrp_3.1.1_ME173X.zip "recovery.img" and replace in folder where scatter file with old "recovery.image" is.

edit: Flashed old recovery trough Flash Tool, than TWRP in Flash tool wipe all what i can and then install LOS 13. Wifi working like a charm

Any chance you can help with source patches?

First of all thanks to snapdragon for the new LOS13 support.
I'm sorry to tell you that all of your mentioned ways to get WiFi back to work did not work for me. What I did and what I tried:
Normal installation way:
Flashed new recovery via old custom recovery
complete wipe
flashed new LOS13 via new TWRP recovery
WiFi not working!
Going back to old custom recovery and back to TWRP
Flashed old custom recovery via TWRP
complete wipe
flashed new TWRP custom recovery via adb sideload since my sd card can only be mounted via new TWRP recovery
complete wipe
flashed new LOS13
WiFi still not work!
This is all I did. I realized that fastbood mode is not working for my device, could be a driver problem since my device is installed as ùó something when plugging it into the pc in fastboot mode, so I tried the way via adb.
Hint: I have the model with the alternative hardware, so the second kernel is required to fix flickering display issue.
I realized that the new TWRP recovery has this issue aswell, so my display is flickering from the right side to the center sometimes in TWRP recovery.
Any ideas what could help getting WiFi back to work?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Could it be that this WiFi problem has something to do with the following thread:
FIX FOR MAC 02:00:00:00:00(WiFi and hotspot not turning ON)
Important. Root required..... Hey everyone,I saw so many posts regarding Android & iOS that the Mac address is changing to 02:00:00:00:00 and WiFi is greyed out. None of the WiFi or hotspot not turning on.I get the same problem in my Condor and...
forum.xda-developers.com
I read over some postings and googled the mac address 02.00.00.00.00 and it seems that a lot of devices had this problem when updating from android 5 to 6. It seems that it could have something to do with the partitions where the info (mac address, IMEI) are stored, but in general I have not found a solution and a specific description of the problem.
Anyway: If the problem can be solved by doing the steps described in the thread I provided above I’m not able to solve this. I would not describe me as a noob, but it seems that I need root and knowledge of permission management for the fix, and I am not very familiar with Linux.

Could you do the following test:
In twrp:
Full wipes ( system, etc etc and internal storage) be sure you back up your stuff
Then reboot to recovery
( It'll warn there's no OS installed)
Back to recovery
Do full wipes again , plug the tab into pc and copy the rom to internal storage
Reboot to recovery again
( It'll warn again, there's no OS installed)
Proceed to flash the rom
This has worked with a user
Issue: for an unknown reason some devices seems to fail mounting / reading nvram
@ twrp I'll do a build for people with this second hardware revision, flickering is annoying...

Thanks for your fast reply.
I did two full wipes with rebooting into recovery after each wipe as you said, then I copied the OS zip file to internal storage and rebooted again to recovery.
After installing the ROM I rebootet to system and LineageOS was preparing the first start. I started without flashing the kernel for alternative hardware (2nd kernel) to check if it works first.
I'm sorry to tell you that I still got no WiFi and Bluetooth connections, Mac address still is shown as 02-00-00-00-00, WiFi cannot be turned on.
Edit: Seems that is has nothing to do with wipes (on my device). I've tried all kind of wipes via TWRP
Format Data -> yes -> reboot to recovery
Advanced Wipe -> check all (Davlik, Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System -> Again format data -> Yes -> reboot to recovery
flashed ROM, 2nd Kernel and GApps -> Reboot to recovery -> reboot to system
Still no WiFi. Perhaps I should try to go back to stock rom and see if WiFi works there? Do you think this could make the deal?

test this
full wipes
flash rom, then this kernel afterwards

Again, thanks for your efforts, it seems to be a really tough and bugging one, since the new kernel did also not fix the problem.
Edit: Just to keep u updated: I just flashed old recovery and afterwords old LineageOS 12, WiFi is working well. So there must be some problem with the update or the update process. I will try to wipe first and then install new recovery and again install new OS, perhaps this will do the job.
Edit2: BTW I forgot to tell you that I had problems with settings -> about tablet -> status on lineageos 12. Just remembered because i wanted to have a look to the mac address. I get an error telling me "unfortunately, settings has stop". Perhaps important for the update?
Important Edit3:
Guess what: I made it to work. I did the following to do it:
1. Format Data and do all wipes possible with TWRP recovery. Reboot to recovery and do the same again.
2. TWRP recovery -> install old recovery
3. In old recovery -> install via sideload (adb sideload) lineageOS12 and second Kernel (for me because of hardware)
4. Boot to system and check if WiFi works well (finish the initialization of the device and connect to a WiFi)
5. Boot to recovery (old recovery) -> WITHOUT WIPING install via sideload TWRP recovery
6. Boot to system. (Still lineageos12) check if WiFi still works
7. Boot to TWRP recovery -> WITHOUT WIPING install lineageos13.
8. Boot to system, finish initialization if necessary and check if WiFi still works.
9. Go to setting and do a factory reset from lineageos13 settings
10. Device will reboot to recovery and do the factory reset and automatically will boot back into system.
11. Finish. All should work now.
I don't know what exactly did the job, so I wanted to provide all steps I did.
Since I never flashed an android custom Rom over another without wiping I don't know what errors this procedure can cause. So if someone knows that please let me now that I can have a look if there are errors.
Thanks again for your assistance.

It's not about just decompression, 7zip can unzip / decompress it, it's about the contents of img.xz. What's in the img.xz. And why do you want to convert it from that format to img format?

Okay, let's follow step by step.
I go to the website www
Releases · ponces/treble_build_pe
Script and patches for building PHH-Treble Pixel Experience - ponces/treble_build_pe
github.com
I go to the tab Assets.
After expanding the Assets tab, I see 3 files - 3 Android images to choose from. Now I will write about it. I am downloading the image with the largest size in Gigabytes.

I choose the option to download the Android image in Android 11. I confirm that the Developer who provides the link via GitHub provides a link to Android 13. Nothing wrong with that. However, at the moment I have LineageOS version 18.1 - that is, it is Android version 11..
In order to avoid possible problems with bricking the phone, I thought it worth choosing an Android image in version 11 - such as I have LineageOS now.
Could you send me a link to download the Pixel Experience image on Android 11 via GitHub?
Because I can't post on GitHub. I need your support. Can you help me ? Please help me. To the best of my knowledge, look for Pixel Experience version 11 for me.
Hello friend, img.xz file format is not detected for me - I am sending a screenshot.
Can you still help me? I toggled in the TWRP menu install Image.
TWRP does not detect this format - i.e. ... img.xz
Okay let's move on. I am posting information about the standard img image - that is LineageOS Android.
As for the image of Android LineageOS - it looks great. See - the image is detected by TWRP Recovery correctly.
I confirm that the img format of the Android LineageOS image is detected and ready for installation by Recovery TWRP.

Hello, I confirm that TWRP Recovery detects a correctly packed file via 7-zip. I packed the Android Pixel Experience img.xz image into a zip format.

Have you now installed the ROM you wanted to install? Is it running?
Did you really make a ZIP file that contains an XZ file?
Do you really have no idea of the distinction between the three PixelExperience images you found, other than size? They are substantially the same size. Size is no reason to choose one over the others.

Tell me more about this please.
I just suggested that you choose the right pixel experience Android image size.
you understand.
I thought for a 32 GB drive - because that's what I have in my smartphone - LG G4 H815 - choose the smallest img image - Pixel Experience. I'm trying to interpret it in such a way that the Developer who provides these images compresses these images himself and sends them already compressed. Going further - with this thinking he stops. Because I need expert knowledge.
I need a hand in this. When I flashed/installed LineageOS Android Custom Rom - flashed as a zip package. It was always a standard img image. At the moment I have LineageOS 18.1 - that is Android 11th release.
I need to know how to flash/install a Custom Rom - so as not to brick the phone. Because if it installs wrong, I can brick the phone.
When I choose the installation mode as a zip package - the Android image is always installed to the partition where the system is - there is no way to wipe the partition - where is Recovery TWRP? I always select wipe everything in the TWRP Recovery menu.
I have basic knowledge of flashing/installing Custom Roms.
I kindly ask you to pass on the knowledge to me.
First of all, it needs to have a powerful system, more efficient than LineageOS 18.1 Android 11th version.
I have a Smartphone LG G4 H815 - and here is only 32 GB of Rom and only 3 GB of RAM.
Please kindly help me. Which Pixel Experience Custom Rom - will be the lightest for 32G Rom, and for 3GB Ram.

Error message when trying to install Pixel.
It's not about de-compressing this Android image right? Isn't that the point?

Does your phone still work?
Do you understand what I mean when I say "DOS window" or "command prompt window"?
In a Command Prompt Window on your Windows computer, type:
Code:
7za l PixelExperience-ROM-you-downloaded.xz
7za l ZIP-file you-used-in-TWRP.zip
What does 7Zip say?
You should be talking to someone who has installed this ROM. Anyone can register on github. Then you can try to post on github.

A standard email registered account allows you to send messages or GitHub posts. Write me details about it. I am asking you - do not be surprised that I am writing about it - but I am a beginner with Github.
