Archlinux Phone for Sony Xperia S
Part of GNU/Linux for Android devices project
First of all, this project is not ready for end users but everything is provided to build an archlinux system for the Sony Xperia S. So you will be able to have a complete system with GPU hardware acceleration, support of vibrator, sensors, GPS, wifi etc (everything is not yet tested like bluetooth, nfc...). Graphical applications are already able to display (Qt/Kwin tested but GTK3/kwin should be ok too).
This project is not just for this device and is really open to support multiple devices and GNU/Linux distributions. So you can share this project everywhere (xda, distributions forum...) ! Contribution are welcome and can be discussed directly on this thread to share efforts.
Introduction
This is a project to create a convergence between the desktop and the mobile/phablet/TV... so to build new mobile OS based on existing GNU/Linux distributions with the most common parts possible. We share some common base between mer-hybris (SailfishOS) and Ubuntu Touch but the architecture and integration are different (refer to Architecture).
Cell phone are powerful and expensive for flag ship so why just use it as a phone ?
Imagine that your cell phone can become your core device ! Plug it to a big screen and this is your workstation ! Plug it to an 'empty' laptop (no CPU, no RAM needed ...) and this is your laptop ! Move everywhere and this is just your mobile phone !
This is what motivate this project.
Applications
Applications are critical on a mobile platform and we hope to support Android application as soon as possible (need further studies to complete the architecture).
GNU/Linux applications are already compatible but not always adapted for a mobile phone for now but... We hope a lot of plasma mobile and KDE convergence guideline for Application developers
Source code
There is few projects and some fork available under my github but if you want to start to port a new distribution or a new device, everything is documented in the gnulinux_support project.
Android needs to be modified but we deliver a solution that permit to be integrated upstream and so to compile Android or Android for GNU/Linux with the same code.
For now we have only Android 5.1.1 patches available but 6.0 will come soon. CyanogenMod 12.1 and 13.0 can be a good target to support a lot of devices in the future (or at least to simplify the portage process per device).

Project status
This project is in an early stage and for developers but we created solid base of works and the portage of plasma mobile, ofono, ... and amazing features will start over those solid base to provide an end user product
Todo :
pulseaudio support for GNU/Linux - Android Hw (and maybe for Android to support sound from Android application)
fix libinput/kwin environment
ofono (or maybe an alternative/hybrid solution that can use the Android Telephony Framework ? no study yet on this point)
flashing after boot.img package update + generation of a custom initramfs
security with crypto, firewall and SELinux (SELinux or equivalent integration will mainly depend of the distribution support but for now this is disabled)
plasma mobile or other ?
localisation framework (see freedesktop project)
OMX
merge everything possible to every upstream projects used to create GNU/Linux for Android devices
overlayfs into kernel ? (not mandatory but can be a great solution for the Android rootfs and schroot)
... (a lot that I forget)
BUT despite this long list of todo... We already did :
New architecture (GNU/Linux and Android integration, systemd, libhybris, chroot, wayland ...)
SurfaceFlinger Composer supported by Qt and Kwin
schroot for Android (Android can run into a chroot and we can interact easily with it)
systemd integration (with reboot to bootloader and recovery, Android /init support, etc)
libhybris_ext (compatibility version with support of Android 5+)
Android integration with GNULINUX_SUPPORT (rc, init, busybox, ramdisk, OTA ... adaptation)
clean rootfs with only 2 symlinks that permit to see that we are on an Android device (nothing more)
OpenGL support (with backend hwcomposer or SurfaceFlinger)
Archlinux support (OTA and packaging)
Design a possible solution for a lot of other GNU/Linux distributions (share architecture and Android adaptation)
Documentation
Download
Binaries will be available when really usable for end user. For now everything can be compiled from source code
Devices supported
Sony Xperia S (nozomi): work in progress (this is our reference device)
RESERVED
I will provide OTA file, binaries (archlinux packages), images and video to show what is working and how really soon
Very interested in this,is HDMI out working?

Multi screen is not yet supported on kwin_wayland so for now I have just focused to render on the main screen (0) but it will be possible to do it for hdmi (1). But for sure I hope to support hdmi output.
For now I will focus to port plasma-mobile/ofono/pulseaudio.
Impatient to try another gift from genius mickybart.
Waiting............
wow something new
waiting eagerly...
lovely, cannot wait to try it
finally there is hope to ditch android, ios and windows
I have not a lot of time to work on this project with the release of nAOSP b11 but once done I will rework on it and provides binaries for Devs.
But, I think that this "new OS" powered with plasma is a good choice and I'm happy to see that plasma 5.7 integrate such kind of features :
https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.7.0.php
https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/05/virtual-keyboard-support-in-kwinwayland-5-7/
Great improvement have been done on Wayland support too.
If some of you are interesting to do some packaging with Archlinux, I'm really interested to get some help to provide a usable system for end user. The work for now is more too package/install user tools (so integration of components). I miss pulseaudio and ofono patching but I'm optimist to solve every issues.
finally nAOSP 6.0 b11 and b12 took me more time than expected but I'm back on this project.
For information, I updated everything to Qt 5.7.x support.
Some pull request have been done and are in discussion for at least qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin (mer-hybris).
I decided to don't provide binaries for now as there is not a lot of sense to do it except if you are interesting to help the project (mainly to package some stuffs, integrate tools for GPS, ofono, pulseaudio etc).
I just finalized to record a small video. I will cut it and upload it to prove that archlinux arm phone can be a reality with the proposed new architecture (and on our Xperia S).
I will work again on the kwin/libinput issue. Maybe just a logind/dbus/kwin discussion issue. Once fixed that should permit to have a graphical keyboard by default (I know that for iOS or Android this is normal... but not really on a GNU/Linux desktop) !
I continue to look for help on this project and if you can create some packages like the one for plasma-mobile and derived repo let me know in PM or in the thread.
small video of the project

Great achievement today
libinput is working and so I'm now able to move windows, plug a keyboard to write a text file, plug the mouse (pointer is not visible) ...
Menus are well displayed now with the good size.
Next steps : pulseaudio, wifi, plasma-mobile... (and bug fix on the kwin backend).
wow mickybart !. u just struck my interest in coming back to this phone! amazing work. my phone was unusable and parts needed replacement. looking at the activity of yours in this section made me repair the device and try out your work.. cheers mate! keep going with ur awesome work!
OnePlus X (onyx) port
I'd like to port this to OnePlus X (onyx). What's a preferable Android OS that I should use? The device comes with manufacturer's OxygenOS, which was made open source. OxygenOS was based on Android 5.1.1. I've also used Cyanogenmod 13 on this device. Out of these 3 options, I prefer CM. Any considerations I should keep in mind making this choice?

I have a Sony Xperia S and a OnePlus One and I'd like this port!
On my OnePlus One I'm using Ubuntu Touch that is very cool but apt-get doesn't work so I can't install other apps.
I really like this on my "old" Xperia S !

Hi @latgarf1,
Sorry for my late answer. I'm busy with Android 7.
That would be nice to have another device on this project to have a better view and maybe have a real alternative in the future .
I will ask a moderator if we can move this thread to a general one.
Advantage to use Android 5.1.1, is that every patches are available and tested to run Archlinux with android Hw support.
But as OxygenOS is not pure AOSP you will maybe need to cherry-pick those patches.
So it is preferable to maybe try to use CM-13 but everything need to be done on that side. I have now a device (Samsung S3) that is able to run CM-13.0 so I will be able to help in case of an issue to port the code to CM-13.0.
The big advantage to try to do it on CM-13.0 is that we can touch a lot of device in the future ! If CM is open, we will be able to push the patches upstream because those patches will not interfere with Android build as this is the case for Ubuntu Touch and mer-hybris patches.
I have not take a lot of time to continue this project since a while but I'm able to run desktop applications with windows management + opengl acceleration etc... I need to work on audio part (in progress), modules to integrates sensors (but sensors are already working). The last video posted do not show those progress.
Let me know your advice and if you thing to base your work on CM 13.0, I will probably switch the development to the Samsung S3 instead of Xperia S (but I will try to keep Xperia S in sync ).
I'm really interested to have some help to speed up this project and to have more motivation for it
You can take a look on the documentation and let me know if you need some help (that will permit me to improve the documentation too).

Here I really want to don't do any difference between a PC and a smartphone. So every tools used on a PC should work on the smartphone (update the kernel and manage initrd should be, at the end, possible to do in the same way than on the desktop ).
Do you know if you are using pulseaudio on Ubuntu Touch ? And do you know in which way it is done ?
For now I'm following mer-hybris and Sailfish to implement it by creating a droid module for pulseaudio.

I've not tried arch but have attempted similar to this project with Debian (raspbian) on ancient hardware with partial success.
As free time rears its rare head I'll be trying to adapt your project for my newer HTC based on cm13.
By the way, your work on N ril from github is great, allows my cm14 to get/make calls without rebooting. Now if I can just figure out why rild takes forever to stop dying and respawing and start actually running...

I don't know how the audio works but I know that it works.
This is the ubports repo https://github.com/ubports?tab=repositories
If you want me to type some commands on the ubuntu touch terminal let me know.
EDIT : I searched and I think that the Oneplus port is using pulseaudio but I don't know how does it work.

Thanks. I will give it a try but to have a more automatic process I will maybe follow what is done in mer-hybris :

Intro
I'll start with this important note: this will likely be interesting to a small subset of users as it 1) does cost money to deploy and run this cloud infrastructure in AWS 2) requires a bit more technical knowledge to get this up and running than most things on XDA 3) the OS build process maintains verified boot with your own custom keys which means things like root/magisk are not a good fit. Anyways, I've created a cross platform tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, that allows you to build your own customized Android OS for Google Pixel phones using AWS cloud infrastructure. The default OS that this tools builds without any customizations is called RattlesnakeOS, which is really just AOSP with very minor additions. If there is something you don't like about the default OS, you can add customizations on top of it or start with a completely blank slate and build your own OS.
Features
Support for Google Pixel phones
Based on latest AOSP 11.0
Software and firmware security updates delivered through built in OTA updater
Maintains verified boot with a locked bootloader just like official Android but with your own personal signing keys
Support for building latest stable Chromium browser and webview
Support for custom OS builds
If any of that sounds interesting to you, head over to the README for full setup, build, customization, and flashing instructions. Also, feel free to stop by our matrix room RattlesnakeOS (#ros.matrix.org).
@dantheman78 awesome job. How would I go about setting up another time to build? Aosp based. Do you have any guides?

I was just thinking how much I'd love to see this for the 3a.
Couple of things though;
1) Where's the device tree source and vendor blobs?
2) Its unfortunate that you baked in the google crap, one of the great things about custom builds is to get rid of that.

1. Soon I'll push source
2. I do have microg build for sargo as it is my main device, but not for bonito, so I did not post here on xda, if you want it join the support link group in the thread. Regarding google crap, for some users flashing gapps externally had less fluid experience so I did it.
I hope soon will be very soon, since I'm only interested in building myself anyway.
Have you spoken to @kdrag0n about adding in your source and making this "official"?

Vendor Source
Note:- I have few extra proprietary stuff added in vendor for Google Fi and stuff to work for users out the box which lineage does not have added in their vendor, so if you really want less vendor blob use lineage vendor. It will work without any issue, I think kdrag0n also uses them.
Regarding official builds, I don't have the same infrastructure as him(reason why I only posted gapps build here, it takes lot of time to maintain both gapps and non gapps build) nor the time to maintain it officially. as said in thread, this is my side project which I thought to share it with community. If things work well in future and I feel like doing it official, I may ask kdrag0n. Also idk if he is accepting new device as he is maintaining all the official devices alone by himself.

I don't know if it's trusted, or who the maintainer of this unofficial build is though. Just found it via telegram.

Nice one. It's really handy to be able to revive old, unsupported devices like the Pixel 3a, which is a perfectly usable phone and can be picked up for next to nothing.
Some of us don't care about de-googling our phones and really just want to extend their lifespan with security updates, so having gapps baked in to ProtonOASP is really nice. Especially when we're just trying to help out our non-technical friends get a bit more life out of their old phones. A consistent, familiar user experience is all they really want.
I was wondering though: Does your build (or any build of ProtonOASP) come with verified-boot signatures so that the device's bootloader can be locked down after the ROM is installed, or is CalyxOS the only option for this?
Unfortunately, Calyx are very puritanical when it comes to de-googling, and microG is just a terrible substitute for interacting with Google services. I tried it on the Pixel 3a, and it doesn't even sync the contact list from your Google account. My non-technical friend was not impressed.
GrapheneOS still has builds up for 3a, however new builds were terminated as of February. While it doesn't ship with gCrap preinstalled, installation is trivial as they've built a compatibility layer to make it work correctly (and much MUCH more securely) as user-installed software, which you can install from the program "Apps".
Magisk Patched Unofficial GrapheneOS for the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro (oriole/raven)
This ROM will allow you to lock the boot loader. Do not ever disable the OEM unlocking checkbox when using a locked bootloader with root.
This is critically important. With root access, it is possible to corrupt the running system, for example by zeroing out the boot partition.
In this scenario, if the checkbox is turned off, both the OS and recovery mode will be made unbootable and fastboot flashing unlock will not be allowed.
This effectively renders the device hard bricked.
I am not responsible for any harm you may do to your device, follow at your own risk etc etc, Rooting your device can potentially introduce security flaws, I am not claiming this to be secure. If you would like to have more security and peace of mind then I highly recommend you follow This Guide to build this rom using your own encryption keys.
GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed as a non-profit open source project. It's focused on the research and development of privacy and security technology including substantial improvements to sandboxing, exploit mitigations and the permission model. It was founded in 2014 and was formerly known as CopperheadOS.
The features page provides an overview of the substantial privacy and security improvements added by GrapheneOS to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Many of the past features were contributed to AOSP, Linux and other projects to improve privacy and security for billions of users so they're no longer listed on the features page.
More info:
Official releases are available on the releases page (Not Magisk Patched) and installation instructions are on the install page.
GrapheneOS also develops various apps and services with a focus on privacy and security. Vanadium is a hardened variant of the Chromium browser and WebView specifically built for GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS also includes our minimal security-focused PDF Viewer, our hardware-based Auditor app / attestation service providing local and remote verification of devices, our modern privacy / security focused camera app, and the externally developed Seedvault encrypted backup which was initially developed for inclusion in GrapheneOS.
No Google apps or servicesGrapheneOS will never include either Google Play services or another implementation of Google services like microG. It's possible to install Play services as a set of fully sandboxed apps without special privileges via our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer. See the FAQ section for more details on our plans for filling in the gaps from not shipping Play services and Google apps.

Builds for Pixel 6 (oriole)
Always do a backup of your data before flashing any updates, just in case.
I make no promises that this works or that I will provide regular updates. I will attempt to provide updates when they are available and I have time, you may have issues with this rom, you could lose your data or brick your device (although it's very unlikely if you follow the instructions and use common sense)

Yes. But not for a rooted version of it.
New Release 2022111800
Changes since the 2022111000 release:
don't skip ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation of apps that weren't recently used since we depend on full AOT compilation being done for performance rather than JIT compilation with background JIT profile guided AOT compilation like Android
battery usage UI: use fallback name for unknown components
change minimal value of battery saver schedule to 5% again as it was before Android 13
enable the post-upgrade "Optimizing apps" progress indication UI
app crash UI: show process uptime and optional extra text
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: show version of GmsCompatConfig in the crash UI
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: stop splitting multi-package PackageInstaller sessions
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: improve handling of activity starts
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: bugfix: Parcel position wasn't reset by dynamic stubs
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: bugfix: missing handling of ListSlices in dynamic stub
GmsCompatConfig: make sure Play Store PhenotypeFlags are overridable by Gservices flags (further deterring Play Store trying to update Play services / Play Store beyond supported versions)
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro (adevtool): drop unused face unlock components since we have no plans to enable support for an insecure face unlock implementation incapable providing reasonable security due to lack of dedicated face unlock hardware (Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL had dual infrared cameras, IR dot projector and IR flood illuminator providing a more secure biometric unlock system than fingerprint unlock as opposed to simply using the front camera in a way that could be done on any device)
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: include gril library to avoid qns crash on Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro: include vendor_kernel_boot partition requirement in factory images metadata to force an error with an incompatible fastboot such as the currently buggy Arch Linux package
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): update GKI to Linux 5.10.150
Auditor: update to version 66

I don't see a real value in locking the bootloader. In theory, the only thing it protects is undetectable modification being made when the device is out of your direct control. However, strong security practices require you to assume that *anything* could have been done to the device when it is outside of your direct control, so the "security" you get from the locked bootloader is artificial.
ANY time a device leaves your physical control, you have to assume it to be compromised. No exceptions.
I would also like to point out that, no offense to OP, but using a "high security" operating system that *HAS* been modified by an unknown 3rd party.... is insane. I'd recommend that anyone interested in this actually take the time to understand the process and reproduce it on their own.

Sorry but I am not interested in arguing about this stuff
I didn't create this thread to argue about potential security issues or how secure phones really are
it seems you have more of an issue with the security of Android in general
I would recommend everyone who just wants to share opinions like this which are essentially unrelated to the ROM, please just don't
I am not claiming rooting your phone to be perfectly secure and I am not interested in arguing about it
Although as explained here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...pdated-november-9-2022.4343431/#post-85733797
there are advantages to using a locked bootloader, even with root.
optimumpro said:
The rom could be used on locked bootloader with ROOT (donate feature) with or without Gapps.
The benefits of LOCKED BOOTLOADER combined with WORKING AVB-2 protection are:
Get back your DRM L1 certificate. Most banking apps will work regardless of Magisk.
Security: Nobody and nothing can modify Kernel, Recovery and Virtual Partitions without triggering a red screen of death with the message 'your device is corrupted and cannot boot'.
At that point, the only option is to unlock bootloader. But, if a user had previously disabled OEM unlock in Developer settings, then unlocking becomes unavailable, and so does flashing via fastboot. In other words, if your phone gets into the hands of an adversary, their only option is to use MSM tool to make the phone work again, but no access to your data or any other partition.
Why prebuilt Magisk? Because you can't modify kernel or recovery on locked bootloader post installation, and that's exactly what Magisk does.

I am offering this as a free feature, not a donate feature and I have also created a guide so that anyone is able to build the rom and sign it using their own keys for even greater security than trusting me.
Magisk isn't just some unknown third party, Graphene, Magisk, AVBRoot, they are all open source projects

I'm not talking about the utility or security of root (hint: Its perfectly safe and secure when used RESPONSIBLY). I'm talking about the value of using a security hardened OS with modifications made by someone who you don't know and can't trust. Doing so throws away ALL security because there is no way to tell what else someone has changed.

So just follow the guide I provided so you can build the rom yourself, you can inspect all the source code and work out exactly what it's all doing if you are so inclined

@FireRattus is there any chance we can see pre-build images for Oriole in the future? I'm having trouble building it myself.

What are the troubles you are having with building it yourself? I can try my best to help
I would be able to build images for Oriole probably but I wouldn't be able to test them myself and building for more variants would take more time making updates slower so I don't want to invest in that currently.
I do think it's best to build it yourself if you are able so I am glad you have tried already
> What are the troubles you are having with building it yourself? I can try my best to help
My computer just doesn't have enough RAM + Disk space to build it, plus I seem to keep getting stuck at getting all the tools to work together
I'd be happy to donate monthly or whatnot to help keep up oriole builds though

I will try to build it for you, since the pixel 6 and 6 pro share the same Build ID, I should be able to build it without needing to download everything again
New Release #2022112500
Changes since the 2022111800 release:
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix missing handling of APEX ListSlices in dynamic stubs (improves compatibility when granting Nearby devices permission to Play services with a WearOS device connected)
Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: mark PackageInstallerStatusForwarder as not exported
Settings: avoid OBB toggle unnecessarily force stopping app
extend original-package renaming to static launcher shortcuts to fix Vanadium new tab shortcut for users with an install predating the package rename
Camera: update to version 57
Vanadium: update Chromium base to 107.0.5304.141
Contacts: add support for dark mode
kernel (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro): restore fix for CVE-2022-3176 which was reverted upstream (GKI LTS branch) due to not being marked as a security fix and changing the GKI ABI
Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL: set frozen patch level string to 2022-11-01 (has been provided since the 2022110800 release but we initially left the patch level string at the previous value)
port GrapheneOS changes to Linux 5.15 GKI LTS branch in order to prepare for 6th/7th generation Pixels potentially moving to the Linux 5.15 LTS and late 2023 devices which will be based on it

To be fair you'll always be using something done by a third party, including android itself, unless it's you writing and compiling your own OS.

Android is open source. Open source code is auditable. Compiled binaries are NOT.
I desperately need to get my work profile working on my new OnePlus Nord N200 5G (dre), and I've just discovered that it is apparently impossible to create a new work profile on LineageOS 19.1. It seems, however, that a work profile set up on 18.1 will continue to work after a dirty flash to 19.1. Thus, I'm hoping that I can install 18.1 on my device, setup of the work profile, and immediately dirty flash 19.1. I won't really need a fully functional build of 18.1; just something that will boot up and allow me to create the work profile before I dirty-flash 19.1.
In order to do this, I need to build LineageOS 18.1 for this device. Unfortunately, only 19.1 has ever been supported.
I have a build environment that is currently building 19.1, just as a test. I also have the most recent Android 11 vendor firmware, from which I should be able to extract any required proprietary files.
I'm really missing 2 things:
The list of proprietary files that I should extract from the vendor's firmware. (I have the 19.1 list, but I assume that it won't work.)
What other files do I need to create/edit to add the device to the 18.1 build tree.
Is there a guide somewhere that walks through the process?
Ah, @ipilcher I was hoping someone smarter than me would answer your question. It would do so much for all the Android forks, and Android in general. I've asked the same question to several devs on IRC and they all basically say "no, no easy way to explain it...". My kingdom for a guide that doesn't involve the School of Hard Knocks all the way through.
So in full disclosure, as of today, I haven't managed to build a ROM on an unsupported phone- but I have done full builds from source with LOS and Calyx (with bootloader relocking on the latter) using existing projects.
But... I would assume from others that have gotten the AOSP "Generic Stock Images" to run on various random phones that there isn't really that much you /need/ for what you want to do; you don't need a functioning modem, fingerprint sensor, camera, GPS, notification LED, battery management, etc.
From what I understand, if your vendor follows android specs, all that would be in one of the vendor partitions anyway. From the builds I've done (mostly Motorola and OnePlus devices) the proprietary files (in "stock" LOS) are sourced from a few different places, possibly from generic chipset support (the same tree is used for multiple devices by a manufacturer and/or chipset). One LOS 18.1 build had a whole bunch of (proprietary) files in it that weren't even in the stock rom image! If you are sourcing from stock firmware (OTA off OP site or one of the MSM images here) I'd assume that half the partition is spyware or manufacturer test/calibration tools, and the other half are the drivers you want for a fully functional phone- which, luckily, it seems you can fall short of without failure, so you can probably be pretty lax about picking.
The bootloader chain seems to have a lot of drama between Android 11, 12, and 13 (requiring flashing other partitions outside of the normal system ones)- I've never had a N200 to play with to know if it is high drama, too.
Hey, at least you're using a OnePlus with QC chipset, so EDL can bail you out of pretty much anything you do wrong. I hard-bricked a $500 Pixel and learned how absolutely hideous Google support is- never buying one of those again.
Hope that helps.

I just wanted to close this out and thank you for your response.
Fortunately, the issue that was driving me to try to build 18.1 for this device (https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/4983) has been diagnosed, and I was able to work around it.
Of course, I just realized that my wife's new Moto G 5G is an XT2213-3, not an XT2113-3, so maybe I'll revisit this subject some day.
Welllp... at the risk of being accused of insufficent RTFMing, I did stumble across this article the other day that nicely outlined a few things that I didn't know:
[GUIDE] [how to] CREATE OWN ROM [FOR ANY ANDROID DEVICE] [FOR N00B] [EASIEST METHODS]

It isn't exactly "build your own device tree on top of AOSP" which I think is what you wanted and I certainly still do... but it might help someone else who finds /this/ thread with the same question. It also ends with the wonderful quote "This thread is 10 yo. Leave it alone. things have changed" - which is pretty solid advice IMHO.
Ah well, if it wasn't a challenge, there would be no reward, eh?
