Is there person who wants Sailfish OS for montana?
Comment if u want this beutiful system for this device
I make a pool for buying device to testing, porting, and polishing Sailfish. If u want to speed it up a little, you can consider supporting me there

Yes I want to test it if the battery backup is good then I would used it as daily driver

First i need to build it. For it i need listed partitions and input event device

Sounds very interesting.. What are the advantages/possible downsides of this OS?

The main advantages it isn't Android. Only use base libs and hal from android part.
Its purely based on Linux. Apps are native, or u can write it using QML.
U dont send statiscic if u dont want and u can control it.
U control whole system via swipe gestures (it was there earlier than in Iphone)
Different UI and feels conected with using it.
The main disadvantage for someone can be impossibility to launch android app (rom need to be stable and get permision to access Store, from where u can install aliendalvik - app for launching android apk)

as far as i know, sailfish os could run android apps natively. anyway, good initiative, fingers crossed

We want it

I'll be happy to help porting it blind (can't find mine atm lol, but it is around somewhere) until I either find my phone, or until it gets to hard to do blind. I'll need your help though, can someone who is running lineage 14.1 on their Montana get me a list of partitions and their names? That's an important step to get the boot image going, almost all the other work has already been done by kayesk.
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/by-name/
ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/*/by-name/
ls -l /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/
One of those three commands should return a list, which is all I need to get the HAL build going. Oh, yeah, just in case, send me the output of all three commands. I think it should work both via adb and a terminal emulator on the phone, not too sure.
Oh yeah and as a disclaimer this is my first sailfish port, and first xda post in general, so good preconditions!

Is there anyway we can dual boot it. If so I would love to test it out!!

Android&Linux dual boot?

So ... I'd like to dual boot a normal linux on that tab.
My first problem is something like a boot loader that let me select wether to boot android or any other system (with touch capability and timeout ideally).
Some googling around didn't bring anything useful besides "it's highly dependent on the device".
Is there something like that out there? The alternative I thought of is to build something like the Ubuntu Phone boot app, but I have no idea how it works.
The next problem would be hardware support, but I will look at that issue later.
The chroot solution would be a fallback (I have to look deeper into, especially in terms of performance), but I'd prefer to have a real system.

Just to clarify which exact tab s fo you have, you say also you will look into the issue of hardware support later....this is the wrong order im sorry to say and many people will agree its the first thing u shud look at.....for example it has to be taken into account that your using an arm processor and u cant just use any linux distro on any arm processor e.g arm v5 is different architecture to armv7...meaning a new kernal needed that runs your linux and android...you really are going into waters way above even my head...start with porting cynogenmod completely from scratch...look st compiling your first real rom and you will learn A LOT and MAY begin to comprehend what your asking here....not meaning to sound god almighty but honestly this involves a lot of factors.

Well, I am aiming at arch and afaik there should be ARM versions for any relevant CPUs, so this is not that a big deal. GPU and the likes could be way worse.
Also: 8.4", not sure if there are different versions of these besides the storage capacity

Ok pal all you need to do then is create a kernal that will support both the android 4.4.2 and linux that youve custom built and taylored to your phones specs.
Heres a link to expanded info on linux and arm: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2n21i2/can_arm_chip_linux_servers_run_all_software_or/
Heres a link to building kernals : https://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html
And heres a link to your specs something you WILL need : http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_s_8_4_lte-6435.php
Please keep me updated on this as if you put all the effort in needed then it would a nice self achievement...good luck m8.

I thought about that, too. But that may be especially hard on arch due to regular updates. It still may be possible and I will have a look at it, but I'd prefer multiple kernels to choose from.
Also: Does having one single kernel in any way help with the boot choice problem?

Well without one single kernal you cant boot anything...why go though making a bootloader to something when youve got nothing to boot yet? The bootloader is the easiest part its the rest thats the harder. Heres an example of bootloaders that shows its more than possible.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...droid&pcampaignid=APPU_3DrCVJj1A8vW7AaIu4HQDQ
And the designer is a member of XDA so i say again you first need to build kernal and linux that are compatible with your hardware....then contact this bloke who made MultiBoot and when he sees all the hard work you put in he will be more than happy to help you i should imagine.

EDIT
If you wanted a quick way out of all that i can only suggest emulating linux on android...find an example here:

Good luck anyway pal hope it goes to plan

It looks exactly like what I need. The screenshots are suggesting that regular linux distributions are running as well.
If this would be compatible with this device I'd stuff ALARM with an sshd on it and work my way from there.

Sorry pal you want a boot manager to run this emulated version of linux? This works by emulating it inside android os? Or have i misunderstood?

Misunderstanding thought you were refuring to the edit i made just above this post im quoting in its original place.
Ok so you now no the idea of bootloaders exist and for them to work you need linux and a kernal ie an os otherwise theres nothing for it to boot, you need to compile a compatible kernal and lixux distro together thats going to work with your spec so then someone else can help you with the bootloader that will dual bot both it and android...otherwise your asking somebody to draw a design of a building and predict the levels of the foundations before the land itself exists which cannot be done.
Ive provided you research material in kernal design, the specs of your phone, about how linux and arm work together, ive provided you with a link to a bootloader exactly like what your after made by a member on xda whom u can see links to in the download of it to show that you have a place and a person to ask who specializes in the field once youve created what you want to dual boot with android.
Theres nothing more that can be done pal its all been made very clear.

Cm-13.0 - development/discussion thread

Hi,
So, cm-13 is very unlikely on our device, but i'll take a look anyway (a slow look as my time is very limited).
Here you'll find my "work" and "help requests".
First, for sure i didn't "worked" on a lot of device, but it's the first one i have with a dedicated partition to the kernel dts.
Code:
/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/dts /dts emmc defaults recoveryonly
+/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/boot /boot emmc defaults recoveryonly
+/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/recovery /recovery emmc defaults recoveryonly
+/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/misc /misc emmc defaults recoveryonly
+/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/modem /modem emmc defaults recoveryonly
+/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/modem_dsp /modem_dsp emmc defaults recoveryonly
+/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/sensorhub /sensorhub emmc defaults recoveryonly
- I wonder if the dts, which is kernel dependent, could be the major problem to get a custom rom version (kk, jb, mm), or even a stock huawei rom, to work from any base rom. I'll try to make some experiment soon.
- I did sync cm-13, and "of course" have cwm recovery working. But whatever i'm trying i can't get screen output on twrp 3.0. Does someone have a clue on this?
- @gabry3795 , do you still have the device ? I would be happy to get your hangout/google nickname if you have any to sometime talk about this device. @codeworkx is of course also welcome for any advice. By the way your cm12.0 github repo (codeworkx) doesn't seem's to be up to date, even if i understand that's it's in a non-working state.

why is there not one custom rom for this device?

because huawei refuses to share their kernel source. suffice it to say, im done with huawei. its a good thing that there are many new phones being released soon. from now on its snapdragon or nothing!

As I understand there are some crucial files / source codes that Huawei is refusing to release to the public. This alone sounds super dodgy, because isn't Android supposed to be open source? Or can companies "own" a custom version of Android and do this sort of thing?
These files are crucial for creating custom kernels and ROMs, as they have to do with (once again, this is how I interpreted it) how the device handles the CPU and GPU.
Basically, while it is possible to install other ROMs on the device, they'll have to be based on EMUI and its kernels, because it is the only thing that contains these files necessary to make the device run, which makes the entire exercise pointless because EMUI is s*** no matter what form it takes.
I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to simply "extract" this necessary code from the stock kernels / ROMs and implement it in a custom one? I do not know even the slightest thing about programming, so I could just be sounding like an idiot.

i too have wondered about this. im sure its possible but it might be far to difficult an endeavor because if it weren't, someone would have attempted it by now. i really miss my nexus 5 with all its custom roms. i suggest that all mate 7 owners get in contact with huawei and demand they comply with the android user agreement. they are technically supposed to give up sources. we could fight, but not unless we unite.

Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!

You're right, extracting stock binary files is an essential part of roms porting but some important files can't be inherited because they are strictly hardware-related, therefore you have to compile the original android source and then "patch" that files for the specific GPU/CPU (starting from android 5 lollipop) with other files given by the vendor of the phone.

But isn't that the entire problem, the "other files" that have to be supplied by the vendor? Huawei is refusing to release them, and therefore making it impossible to develop custom ROM's.
Or are you saying that it is possible, but there just isn't enough interest in the phone for anyone with the necessary skills to actually go through the trouble?

I'm saying that Huawei must provide that 'patches' (as Qualcomm did, for example) otherwise is impossibile to build a working ROM, this is the problem. We cannot do anything without them.

this is why we should all come together so as to put pressure on huawei to release these files. i have been trying for months now but its getting very tiresome. im going to start a twitter account that will hopefully get their attention. i think the problem is that the general public dont know much/anything about custom roms. there should be a custom rom psa for all android users that point out the benefits of custom roms.

Agreed.
Unfortunately I live in a place where just picking up a new phone is not as easy as 123, But I think I'll try and get my hands on a different phone this weekend. Huawei pisses me off.

No source release by Huawei.
No Kirin SOC support would be a huge problem to get it working I think.

Discussion, Benifits of rooting and available tweaks?

For me at least until my SW3 updates to Android 6 I see very little point in rooting my SW3... And as yet other than twrp and Kernel I don't feel there are enough mods etc or even Custom roms(if any) to even bother with rooting... On a phone there are huge benifits but a watch that relies on your phone for most everything I see no advantages yet...

I know what you mean, side loading apps is cool, and being able to change the DPI. Firefox and Google keyboard works well, cm cleaner works perfectly and helps uninstalling apps and es file manager is good for installing apps

Be honest. Do you really need a reason beside "it can be done"?

No lol, but I want tweaks

LOL I guess not. Andhopefull we will get Marshmallow soon and then will have a proper play!

Hopefully, it's been seen in the wild. Just need them to pull their fingers out.

So, while I agree that waiting to root until after 1.4 might be a good idea, here is what I did with root...
Direct wifi access with apps (mostly es File Explorer for on watch app install and uninstall)
Kernel experimenting and tweaking
Uninstall wear apps but keep host apps on phone
All done without a computer (after initial install and setup)
Run most terminal commands with a single tap (like changing dpi)

if this question was dedicated to me, my answer is:
I read posts about android and chrootet linux distros and used a similar technique to do this with my smartwatch 3. As soon as I am allowed to post a DEV-THREAD I will probably make a quick tutorial about it.

Looking forward to it. Not something I've looked at

I submitted some changes to make it work with Pixel2-XL and they have been merged into main branch.
You have to wipe everything.
I dont know how to make proper zip images for TWRP so use fastboot
I use the fastboot script included in the zip after a full wipe and im all good

I've been doing my best to get my own build running for a few weeks now, and while everything else seems to work perfectly, I can't seem to figure out a way to get it to connect to mobile data. I'd be really interested to hear if there's something in addition to the build instructions provided by Google that you had to do to get it working!
I would just use your build, but my goal is to avoid gapps altogether. Hopefully the trick isn't to have gapps installed
Thanks!

u did add in the propietary drivers i assume before u started making ur build?
this build is running smooth! i almost wanna say u couldve left gapps out n let ppl choose which they want to use but of cpurse this is only the beginning.. first thing i did was remove all those google hotword apks that fc, not had any issues yet and u already stated squeeze isnt on here but i nvr used that anyways
I was building from source today but my env has a ways to go before its useable.. it literally took all day to make aosp arm64 eng lol.. started gettin low mem stops towards the end so gonna look at it tom... i actually need to change it up and tweak settings cuz i only got 6gb ram
my set up tho is ur aosp, flash kernel 2.05 and magisk 15.1.. butter.. or shall i say vanilla??

Now, I'm relatively new to the rooting world of Android. Is AOSP essentially custom ROMs? I know this is sort of a "if you don't know, you likely shouldn't be messing with it." I just love tweaking my phone!
So far only the squeeze doesn't work? Should the less advance user hold off until it's been tested a bit? Regardless, thanks for distributing your work to everyone on here! I love this community. Being able to share in the glory that is altering literally almost every aspect of your phone's software.

for u id say hold off.. it works fine for me but it technically is a userdebug build.. AOSP =Android Open Source Project, Its basically Android built from Android source so typically devs can pull the source and make their own roms how they want them. Normally doesnt even have google apps like play store for example.
Its a very clean low lvl android OS and the dev controls every aspect of the build process.. its also been called Vanilla
this technically is "custom" but this initial build doesnt have many tweaks or customizations.. its merely a glimpse as to the possibilities
but hey, try it out if u got the itch, it wont hurt u lol plus the only real way to know the difference is to try it for yourself

Being able to share in the glory that is altering literally almost every aspect of your phone's software.

for u id say hold off.. it works fine for me but it technically is a userdebug build.. AOSP =Android Open Source Project, Its basically Android built from Android source so typically devs can pull the source and make their own roms how they want them. Normally doesnt even have google apps like play store for example.
Its a very clean low lvl android OS and the dev controls every aspect of the build process.. its also been called Vanilla
this technically is "custom" but this initial build doesnt have many tweaks or customizations.. its merely a glimpse as to the possibilities
but hey, try it out if u got the itch, it wont hurt u lol plus the only real way to know the difference is to try it for yourself

Honestly, I'd normally listen and hold off. But since I have a day off I think I'm gonna attempt it just for the sake of learning!
As long as it has the Play Store so I can download the apps I want, I'm good. If I can get all the apps I need to than I'll be a happy camper.
Say later on it's decided I want to go to another AOSP rom, am I going to have to wipe again? If I can get all my apps, won't have to wipe my device every other week, and can get my modules installed I should be good to do some good old fashioned experimentation.
I am not a smart man, at times. I'm gonna try it out. I have a few hours before anyone else is awake. Might as well use that time (un)wisely.
Plus I believe these "vanilla" ROMs, being what they are, can be modded to an even greater extent than the already pretty modifiable "stock" Pixel ones. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been doing my best to get my own build running for a few weeks now, and while everything else seems to work perfectly, I can't seem to figure out a way to get it to connect to mobile data. I'd be really interested to hear if there's something in addition to the build instructions provided by Google that you had to do to get it working!
I would just use your build, but my goal is to avoid gapps altogether. Hopefully the trick isn't to have gapps installed
Thanks!

I found this:
https://github.com/anestisb/android-prepare-vendor
I submitted my changes and they will update in a few days to the add tamien support.

I am going to hold off on this for now, as it's just a shell of what custom Android can be but just wanted to say thank you very much for getting the ball rolling. For giving us hope haha. I check the thread at least 4 times a day and my heart jumped when I saw this post! Good work!

Nice can we flash the Kernels that have been around here for a while on this rom?

@deeproot
have you uploaded your WIP android_prepare_vendor anywhere? I would like to clone your changed repo and run this script if possible.
I attempted to manually add your changes in the pull request, but the script is breaking with a debugfs error
Thanks,
Edit: Found it, still getting same debugfs error.

Android 12 personal build

If somebody wanna to try my personal build of phh treble A12 with 01/05/22 security patch let me know and we figure out how to share. Keep in mind I don’t use Telegram .
Some info:
it's made with mind for regular use of device as phone not fancy or gaming machine.
Sms,calls,voip calls,navigation priority for me.Very slim rom!
I’m not put here some warning – you already understand all risk when using custom roms! Right? If not what are you doing here!
In short - phh aosp gsi and all credits to him and team.
Tested and adjusted for Nord10 5G BE86AA ATT provider, vendors 11.02 and 11.03, not rooted unlocked bootloaders.
Runs already w/o trouble over 2 mnts on 2 phones.
English only (no localization), diff keyboard layouts works,su, rw system, MicroG with sig spoofing, bromite webview,patched Captive portal (read here),
Cloudflare dns,dev option enabled, soft display option.
Removed useless overlays for phone, fixed voip call sound,ims, prefered network 5G enable, media sound over BT works.
Voip calls tested on Signal,Wire and WhatsUp with domestic and oversea calls.
My bank app working fine,gMaps works (but I’m using Magic Earth),fingerprint,otg-usb,Bluetooth in 2 cars,bluetooth to my pc.
I left pph treble app in case.
Many small changes, some hard coded some in build.props
I don’t use any google stuff or g Pay ,Amazon pay or any other pays so don’t know would it work or not. If you need it get something like pe and enjoy google+aftermarket s**t.
Only Foss apps
You need Calendar,Calculator,Messenger if you don’t like Signal (preinstalled) and good Music app.
I’m personally using Signal,Wire and Element, my wife Signal,Whatsup,security camera apps w/o trouble. Some apks not upstream versions.
I'm old school Linux guy - don't fix if it works is my philosophy. But on rw system you easily can rm and install what ever you like or update from Fdroid.

Interested

Its only for OnePlus Nord N10 5G (BE2026/BE2029 - codename - billie)
download SYSTEM IMG and copy img to folder GSI-FLASHER and rename it to
system.img, then fastboot and run flash-device.bat (need unlocked bootloader of course)

I'm sorry I am really confused about the right method coming from a samsung device where the procedure was quite different. Dont I need vbmeta.img or something? Inside the file the installation method is as below:
unlock bootloader,no root needed.
Tested on android 11.02/11.03 vendor, not sure about 10
RW version.
from terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system nord-S-RW.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Enjoy!
Some times take upto 5 min to boot,
if not try restart again
Which method do I use?

If you have BE2026/BE2029 then all is inside my zip....
Only copy system.img into GSI-FLASHER and start flash-device.bat
(with unlocked bootloader and phone booted in fastboot - volume down + up + power)
thats all
