Workshop thread for Google AOSP for Xperia ZL
If you want to have AOSP for Xperia ZL like Xperia Z. Then let's start working
To use any custom software you have to unlock bootloader following sony guide
Thanks to
Sony for providing us the chance to have official AOSP support
All developers that work or worked on android making a dream become reality
FXP - for OP design
jredestig - for all help thru IRC and Google Hangouts
pabx - for GApps on AOSP builds
Let's Start By Setting Up Work Environment - Follow this
Follow all steps till
cd ~/android
Then we will init AOSP repo instead of AOKP
since we want to use AOSP software we will init master branch (default)
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest
Then let's sync up
repo sync -jthread_number
* Thread number can speedup download if you have an good internet connection
* It can take a while even on a 100mbps connection so Patience is the key
Once you have completely sync'd to the AOSP we need to add device/manufacture specific files to compile for our ZL
Copy the attached file to root of you build directory
Code:
cd .repo && mkdir local_manifests && cd local_manifests && curl https://gist.github.com/Mithun46/6100476/raw/42c2c29a0006eb3eb0b65a53c901ced219e04489/gistfile1.txt >> roomservice.xml && cd ../../
Sync again to get sony repos
Code:
repo sync -jthread_number
Get sony vendor blobs and unpack them in root of your build directory : BLOB_LINK
You should now have directories named vendor/sony/lagan and vendor/sony/c6503 in your tree.
After That, Let's Build
Code:
[B]. build/envsetup.sh[/B]
[B]lunch[/B] <enter> Chose your device number and press enter
[B]make -j<cpu thread number>[/B] Now go out and have some drinks and fun. Build might finish in 5min - 1 day depending on PC
[B]for file in *.img; do echo "$file"; done[/B] Will Show all android images that are compiled
Progress
Won't Build till the vendor blobs are corrected - Errors
Temporary Workarround
Edit the file vendor/sony/c6503/c6503-vendor.mk
And remove the line "$(call inherit-product, vendor/qcom/lagan/lagan-partial.mk)" from it
A build after that can give you fresh working AOSP for Xperia ZL
How to install
Download the respective files from here and extract them, After that do the following
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
NOTE: The system.img does not include Gapps - You can either install them manually or use pabx's handy .tgz file to do it automatically
4.3 Builds: Click Here!
4.2 Builds: Click Here!
To Install GApps
Download the Gapps for your build and execute the below commands
- For 4.3
Code:
adb push gapps.yuga43_shaky.tgz /sdcard/
- For 4.2
Code:
adb push gapps.yuga.tgz /sdcard/
Code:
adb reboot
So what's the status of AOSP for the ZL?

Aye just making everyone aware . & yea i concur, in Sony's AOSP announcement regarding 4.3 they mentioned kernel changes. So your probably correct on that.
I tried to build mine but since I such a newbie using Ubuntu I gave up (getting errors, as I don't know where to paste the sonyxperiadev.xml.zip files, it kept getting no such files found), so I gonna watch this thread instead.

Please keep in mind this is a work in progress and is currently intended for devs only. Do not flash if you don't know what you're doing.
Ok, after making some progress towards getting this thing ready for user-space, I've decided to finally start a thread on it just to see if I can get anyone interested or willing to help... This ROM is currently in below Alpha status (if there is such a thing) and does not boot, but I believe I can get it booting in about a week barring a system crash or a zombie apocalypse. Again, this is only meant for a jumping off point towards getting AOSP ICS on our I957s, so don't blame me if you flash this and your tab becomes bricked...

Sweet, Thank you for start a build for i957 and Finally about time!
great start, thank you!!!!

Great news, keep up the good work.
Yes thank you very much for this start!
ICS for i957?
I'm ready to test when you have a bootable ROM! Where are you getting ICS-compatible hardware drivers for the i957?
Thanks

Base drivers can be used from the msm8660 ics source code provided by Code Aurora, and proprietary can be used from the stock Honeycomb firmware. Hopefully.
1. THANKS JO!
2. In order to boot, what is needed?
I'm assuming this is a CWM zip, not an odin package, right>
With ics for the skyrocket leak hopefully things will get easier

Thank You. Hell yeah! You guys rock. I'll help out if I can.
I'm willing to test too.
hey Jo there are some ICS CWM roms starting to come out for the skyrocket (ICSMOD5 is what I was looking at). Do you think with some script edits this could be flashed to the i957?
thanks to OP for attempting this. there are enough of us i957 users out there I think !

Yes, but the problem is we would probably need our own ICS kernel to get most of the stuff working. I'll try my hand at ICSMOD5, but I'm not sure if anything will work without a dedicated kernel.

Ok, I'm not really going to be able to use my tab for dev purposes this weekends, but if you want to try a port here's what you need to do.
1) Setup a build enviornment in dsixda's kitchen with ICSMOD5.
2) You'll need to look at the updater-script and change the partition blocks according to the Tab (e.g system needs to be 25 instead of 24).
3) Two ways to do 3. One: grab the kernel from this thread and put it in ICSMOD, or Two: You could just leave the kernel as is. I'm wary of option Two.
4) Flash it. If it doesn't boot, try to get a logcat and send it my way. If it does, then yay ICS.

OK I have followed these instructions; downloaded ICSMOD5, set up the kitchen, grabbed the kernel (assuming that's boot.img) from your zipfile in the first post of this thread and copied it to the working folder, overwriting the Skyrocket kernel.
Then I looked at the updater script to see if partitions need changing. Per this post the layout looks OK. Example: /system is p24 and /boot is p08 already.
So far so good? Planning a test for later today.
Exciting let me know how it goes

Hey,
I think you guys know me from my Xperia SSpeed rom and kernel, but from now on I'll be starting with a new project
I'm going to try to compile an AOSP rom for Xperia S. I'd like to create this thread as a discussion thread about features, bugs, etc.
I'll also try to create a sort of "FAQ post" here
Everything you want to discuss about an AOSP is welcome here
Regards,
Krabappel2548
== To Do ==- Clone the right Google Source code and compile again.
== Progress ==
== Compile again using the right google source code [19/12] ==
- Going to start again, I compiled from the wrong Google source code
== Made a flashable zip [19/12] ==
- Made the rom as flashable zip
- kernel is included
- Symlinks and permissions should be ok now
== Fixed boot.img not flashing problem [18/12] ==
- Boot flashed, this is the kernel: download the kernel
- Rom still not booting
==First compiled version as system.img [18/12] ==
- Boot, not fashable
- Rom not booting with FXP kernel
- System.img is not editable with a linux disk reader
Hello, I had KA ROM since 01 in GB to 19 in ICS.
I'll try your new ROM when you'll release it.
Good luck for this project
Great. AOSP on XS will be cool. :good:
You will work with The Three Musketers team (that one on Facebook)?
The long awaited AOSP rom??? WOW thanx Krabappel!!

I made the second post one to post my progress in. I think I have fixed the flashing issue with boot.img, but I'm going to add a kernel logo to really see if it the compiled kernel works
The rom doesn't boot when compiled a system.img, so I'm going to try to compile it as an flashable zip to test again today
Would you mind posting link to boot.img to see if we can get it to work with the img files I've compiled Because rather than use the device files from sonydev github, I've used the ones from Google just to see if that would make a difference, but our testers couldn't flash the boot.img

Hi Krabappel2548,
Out of curiosity, are you following the instruction on their README to build a bootable image?
I agree that all the efforts from XDA devs should be concentrated on a single project.
I am no developer but it would be amazing if devs from XDA would collaborate with Sony devs to make this project develop into a working ROM.
Their code is all hosted on a public github where code can be contributed, forked and merged!
Good luck, keep up the good work and work together with Sony and other XDA devs! :victory: :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Also, should this thread be in the development section maybe?

Yes I followed the instructions from Sony, but there is more then those instructions that needs to be done You need to setup ubuntu first
I know about the Sony github, I can't compile the AOSP rom without those files
The thread belongs here for now, as soon as the rom boots, I'll make a new thread in development section

This is the first build, its as stock as it gets. Will be adding custom features in my next builds though.
To install:
1) I suggest a clean wipe coming from any 4.2.x or stock ROM.
2) Flash ROM, Gapps, Root (in this order)
3) When pressing reboot in twrp swipe to restore root (only if you flashed root)
4) Set everything up. (Start up might take awhile so give it time)
5) Enjoy

yea :\ no luck though, the cmd when I ask for list of adb devices returns me with nothing. :\ I installed adb & sdk platform tools and still does this :\
also I don't understand; many adb guides tell me to enable usb debugging " before you can actually use the adb utility with your Android device, you'll need to turn on USB debugging on your Android device" but how can I do that on my device if i can't even get past the google logo? that logic..

- After build, you can find output at out-geehrc4g_spr_us/target/product/geehrc4g
2. Kernel Build
- Untar using following command at the android folder
tar zxvf LS970_OptimusG_Android_JB_LS970ZVC_kernel.tar.gz
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain)
into the android folder.
- cd kernel
- make j1sp-perf_defconfig ARCH=arm
- make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=../prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
3. After build, you can find the build image(zImage) at arch/arm/boot/

I don't believe we will receive 4.3 I know we will get 4.2 but they say it will be by end of year .... Lg seems to usually do 4-5 updates to their top tier phones .. We have had two major updates and know this minor update thats coming and the first minor update for ICS equals our 4 updates lol...

We've had one major update. 4.1.2. We started with zv7, zv8 and 9 were bug fixes. ZVB is the only major one I can think of. Zvc seems fairly minor.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but this is the only one that I saw that talks about compiling from LG kernel source.
I think I did everything like your instructions say but the output folder for my kernel doesn't have a zImage file. The closest name is Image but it's 14.4MB (way bigger than viper kernel, for instance) and it doesn't boot via fastboot boot Image. I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some pointers.
EDIT: looks like I hadn't installed lzop, never mind.

I tried it using toolchain 4.6.3, among many others, and at best, the error was with the tsp.drv. When I removed it it compiled fine. But no boot.
How did you get past that error? Also, I have issues getting the modules to compile. How'd you fix that?
I'm trying to learn in my spare time so that's probably my problem. TIA

I just started with the source of Viper Kernel, it's ZVC based and already have some good fixes.
You can also see the source I'm working on at bmos/JB_LS970ZVC_Adder, although mine isn't booting right now (although I'm about to try toolchain 4.7 which it says it is optimised for)
Introduction

[What is this? Let me explain you. It will Bypass the signature checking of sony. Sometimes when we mod any system app and put it back in to system with correct permission but the app doesn't work or doesn't install or force closes. Most of the time these problems are happening because of signature checking.

I saw some themes in cross dev section which needed this mod to run so I made it for our devices. Thanks to BDFreak for the TUT.
Installation
- Download the modded services.jar from here.
- Push it to /system/frameworks
Code:
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
- Give correct permissions(644)
Code:
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/framework/services.jar
- Reboot
Code:
adb reboot
Now let the OS be adapted to new services.jar. Once it ready use it and enjoy.
it is great to see you abhinav sir:victory:
hope very soon we will see roms kernel and mods from your master side
thanks a lot for joining t2 ultra forum

Will build ROMs for the device Currently CyanogenMod for our device is way toooo smooth but still most things aren't working and major issue of it is audio. I spent 5-6 hours yesterday on it trying to figure our problem, taking logs and using some vendor from stock to see if I can get it to work but I got nothing. I'll try to debug it tonight also and its my assumption that if I can get audio to work, I can fixup most stuff Also waiting for sony to release kernel sources for latest firmware which I can merge and then try to fix with it
Cheers,
AJ
