Hey all!
As you all know, Wileyfox has started rolling out Nougat for their devices, starting with the codenamed marmite family (Swift 2, 2 Plus and 2X models). With this new update, Wileyfox has also included a bunch of BLOATWARE I personally NEVER expected from them. I mean, I didn't request ads in my launcher, and why do I need to forcefully use Truecaller dialer instead of the cleaner, AOSP-based one? That's why I've created this Wileyfox Debloater tool, to keep the system apps as clean and stockish as possible.
App removals included:
- AndroidPay
- BasicDreams
- BookmarkProvider
- Google Books
- Chrome
- CMFileManager
- Drive
- Duo
- Gmail
- GooglePrintRecommendationService
- GoogleTTS
- Hangouts
- Keep
- Maps
- Google Music
- News and Weather
- PhotoTable
- talkback
- Google Videos
- WFChromeCustomization
- Youtube
- Contacts
- FoxHole
- Mms
- SnapdragonGallery
- TrueCaller
- All bundled-apps from /system/vendor/bundled-app
- Possibly more in the future.
(Note: All the moved Google Apps were removed for the sole reason that they can also be downloaded from the Play Store.)
App additons / other features included:
- Google Contacts, in replacement of the half-dummy, prebundled Contacts app (which was missing link with the Dialer).
- Google Dialer, in replacement of TrueCaller.
- Google Messages, in replacement of Wileyfox Mms app.
- AOSP's Launcher3, in replacement of FoxHole (Wileyfox's Launcher).
- Framework and permission files for Google Dialer to work.
- Small tweaks in the build.prop, including drop of min processors to work from 2 to 1, and rise of maximum processors to work from 4 to 8, as well as increasing the Android compiler default amount of processors from 4 to 6.
- Possibly more in the future, too.

Enjoy, and don't forget to leave a Thanks if you loved it!
I'm also dissapointed that the OS is far from the pure AOSP.
But it is possible to tweak it without losing the future OTAs:
1. Install google launcher, google messenger
2. Install google phone from apk mirror - this version is working on my phone - http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/
3. Deactivate truecaller, duo, news, ... - but be careful, some apps are needed for the system and remember to activate all apps before the OTA update...

That is also a possibility but:
1. Launcher3 conflicts with the already installed launcher, so it's impossible to get that out of the way
2. I got latest version working here using the required libraries (extracted from a Pixel), so yeah, probably both possibilities are just fine
And for the third one, just wanted to say there's no need to reactivate them (if you manage to deactivate them, ofc), and, all of the packages the script moves are stored in a safe place (/system/__bloat), so they can be restored from there
I don't remember if I had a problem with a previous OTA update for Wileyfox, but I was not able to install an update without reactivation a disabled app.
I'm not sure...
You could select a default launcher and the phone has really enough RAM, so I think it is not necessary to remove the FoxHole from the system.
But anyway, nice work! You could provide an uninstall instructions - if it is really possible. I hope that there can be an OTA update in the future...
The final solution for this is LineageOS, if they provide the source
Excellent! Thanks for providing this...such a stupid shame that Wileyfox decided to do this. I'm just hoping that they now release their sources so that we can start working on a proper release of Lineage!

Of course. The debloater doesn't delete any of your system apps, but move them to /system/__bloat. There you'll find 3 folders, the app, the priv-app and the vendor one, just cut and paste them back to /system and the deleted apps will come back. Also, don't forget to remove the framework files and permissions the debloater installs, such as /system/framework/com.google.android.dialer.support.jar and /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.dialer.support.xml. You can also remove the the GoogleContacts, GoogleDialer, GoogleMessages and Launcher3 folders from /system/priv-app, and revert the build.prop tweaks (lines 164 and 165, change values from 1 and 8 to 2 and 4, line 196, change value from 6 to 4).
Reverting all of that, your system will go back as it came with the Nougat OTA.
Hello,
thanks for your effort to the community.
I have a question.
How do I install this? I've tried it with twrp but everytime I install twrp my device won't boot.
To repair this I flashed the newest "system.img".
But I can't replace my stock recovery.

Try downloading version 3.0.2-0 from TWRP download website, and flash it via the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-the-file>.IMG
Replacing name of the file for the actual filename of it. To enter fastboot mode, you should see a warning when you boot up your device. Hit any volume keys, and, using them, choose the fastboot mode and select it with the power key. Now you should be able to use the fastboot commands.

I'm already working on it... But it'll surely require substratum, which probably won't work out of the box just by flashing it from the recovery. I'm looking for solutions

Okay, can you try doing "fastboot boot" and the name of the image instead of flashing it? It will avoid bootloops, since it just boots to the image. Keep me posted, please.

Still doesnt let me boot up after I installed your debloat zip.
Everytime I install or boot to twrp 3.1.0 or 3.0.2 for marmite i get a boot loop and a "dm-verity .." screen.
I've tried different versions of twrp and different methods like "fastboot flash" and "fastboot boot" but everytime I flash something it gets stuck on booting up.
When I was on Marshmello I had this "dm-verity" message too but I could modify my system as I wanted and it booted up everytime, i had TWRP, your Speakermod, Magisk Mask etc installed no problem.
I think it has something todo with the update to Nougat.
How did you bring it run on your device?

Try flashing it to your recovery partition, my guess is that now that DM-verity is disabled everything should work fine
Cheers!
Quick update post after two days of usage, yesterday I noticed I didn't receive any notifications on missed calls, and that the caller ID always showed as a number although I had it added as a contact.
I realised that I didn't have any "Phone" app chosen as default in Android settings, so I was missing those notifications until I opened the Google Dialer app.
In case it happens to you, to sort it out go into Settings > Apps, then hit the gear in the top right corner and make sure you've a config similar to this one (Launcher3, Google's "Phone" and Google's "Messages" chosen as default Home, Phone and Messaging apps).
I hope this is clear for everyone, since it's not something I can fix on my side/requires the user to do the change
I have TWRP, SuperSU, and Magisk. Marshmallow boots with no problem, but I get the dm-verity screen on boot with the message "dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode".
Does this mean dm-verity is disabled because it is not enforcing, or do I need to do something to stop the whole dm-verity screen appearing before I can successfully upgrade, debloater, and boot Nougat?

Firsts things first: After heavily modding the system like you did on Marshmallow, make sure not to update your device through the regular OTA but using a recovery image like the ones posted in this device's forum.
For magisk: are you sure you flashed it correctly? Magisk disables that dmverity message you are mentioning, so maybe you installed an old version or wasn't properly flashed.
My advice is: download everything: the recovery image, the debloater and Magisk. Boot into TWRP, wipe EVERYTHING if possible, including Data cache dalvik cache and system partitions. Once done, flash the recovery image zip, and right after that, without rebooting, flash the debloater and magisk. Reboot and everything should work perfectly

As soon as you root any Marshmallow/Nougat phone Android Pay will not work, according to this article
I have never used Android Pay so it doesn't make any difference to me. My phone is much better now that I have debloated it. I also installed Evie Launcher and Halo Browser, both small minimalist apps and everything is really smooth.
Instead of a Debloater, could the Stock ROM not be debloated and rezipped as a custom 'Lite' version?
UPDATE 06 OCT 2019: I will be returning to the project next week...
Apologies for my long silence over the past few months. After the initial release of this ROM I started focusing on getting the fingerprint sensor to work, which after some struggle I got it working. I then began spending time on removing non-FLOSS apps, services and providers that comes with lineageOS and replacing them with even better FLOSS alternatives. I made some good progress on this and created an automated build script for this. I also wanted to make the installation of the ROM easier, so I even created a script that automates the entire flashing procedure for you....yip...it's pretty cool On the security side I also made some good progress: I've applied several recommended hardening patches to the base system, and also patched the flawed mac-address randomization implementation that still exists in android today.
As I got close to preparing for release, google decided to stop support for maps-api V1 which is used by migrog. This completely broke all map views in apps and even started crashing the mobile browser. Because of the complexity of the android build workflow and tool-chain, I initially thought I screwed something up, but it was only after a couple of days of pulling my hair out people started reporting it on github. I had to wait for the mapbox implementation of microg to be released, and it eventually came a few weeks later.
It was shortly after the release that my personal priorities changed. I've been occupied (visa related) with that ever since but I'm happy to report that I should be able to return back to the project next week. Obviously some time has passed, so I will have to get up to speed with the latest releases of all of the repos and get that merged with my local changes, but that should only take a day. Hopefully there won't be many breaking changes, and if that is the case then I should be in a position to release V2 in about two weeks!
Cheers,
fanix (git-repo here: https://github.com/FaN11X?tab=repositories). Once you see commits you'll know I've started.
New build is available apparently.... don't know if it's the same dev..
UPDATE 08 MAY 2019: I'm in the process of adding support for the in-display fingerprint sensor. Stay tuned.
This is a lineageos 16.0 build from source on 25 April using latest source. The ROM is has been prepatched for system lavel signature spoofing based on the MicroG Android Pie patch (url removed, sigh). I did however change the protection level from "Dangerous" to "Signature|Restricted". This is a more secure way of enable signature patching as it requires the app using signature spoofing to be privaliaged, in other words, it needs to be installed to /system/priv-app in order for it to be granted this permission. This means that you wont be at risk of downloading and installing apps that might abuse signature spoofing.
The ROM also passes FULL SafetyNet with microg installed. It uses a custom build from Nanadroid which contains all the latest code changes which you wont find in there official releases as its not yet been packaged as a release. This solved many issues for me, like safetyNet now passing which allows me to install and run banking applications (like Barclay's Mobile Banking) and also uber seems to work just fine using the UnifiedNLP backend providers.
This custom ROM has NO google related apps or code, and you have the ability to switch on google released integration services through the microg services menu.
WORKING
So far... everything I've tested. (except fingerprint)
NOT WORKING
On-display fingerprint.
Installation steps:
1. Restore to stock firmware. I recommend the following Fastboot ROM as thats the one I used. *url removed* (download file search google "equuleus global images V10.2.2.0.PECMIXM")
2. Put device in fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader or Power Button + Vol Down)
3. Flash using MiFlash (Find it on google and be sure to select the "FLASH ALL.bat" option at the bottom and NOT the LOCK on, otherwise you will relock your device)
4. After flashing the stock ROM, let it boot up, then enable developer options and USB debugging.
5. Flash TWRP
* adb reboot bootloader
* fastboot erase recovery
* fastboot flash TWRP_equuleus_1102.img
* fastboot boot TWRP_equuleus_1102.img
6. Once in TWRP, goto WIPE and select DATA. Enter the word "yes" and once it is complete, go back to main menu, RESTART=>RECOVERY to reboot and automatically boot back into recovery.
7. Goto WIPE again, but this time WIPE DalvicCache, SYSTEM & Cache by selecting all 3 and wiping them (NO NOT RESTART AFTER THIS STEP
8. Once wipe is complete, push the content from the download folder provided below to the sdcard folder of the phone.
* adb push download_folder_containing_all_the_files /sdcard/
example: adb push /home/fanix/Downloads/lineageosrom /sdcard/
9. Once complete, you are now ready to flash lineage ROM. Select the lineageos zip file and flash it. (filename => lineage-16.0-20190425-UNOFFICIAL-equuleus.zip)
10. Once complete, you can then reboot to system to load lineage. After going through the lineage setup, you can then install microg (if you want)
Optional - Installing microg (from latest nanodroid) FULL SAFETYNET SUPPORTED
* Boot into TWRP (adb reboot recovery)
* Goto INSTALL, and select the following file: (NanoDroid-microG-20.7.92.20190424.zip).
* NOTE: This will install microg, including MsfProxy and UnifiedNLP with 4 backend providers. It will also install Aurora Store & Fake store.
* When install is complete, reboot and once in lineage, you can configure microg. You can log into google store using Aurora, either with your own account or their anonymised account. This allows you to download anything form the google app store, including apps that require verification, like mobile banking apps.
* If you want, you can test your SafetyNET using Magisk. You can find the magisk manager in the download folder. Install that and test SafetyNET. You do NOT need to root your phone to test this, you can simply install the manager. If you want to root your phone, simply boot back into TWRP and select the magisk 19.0 zip file and that will then also root your device.
Enjoy!

Hi Fanix
I really appreciate what you have done for Mi8 Pro. If you did not share your work here, I think I nearly sell my phone, as the MIUI is pretty trash.
Also, thanks for your progress on adding in-display finger sensor, after you done it I feel you can create one link for donation. I really hope you can keep develop on this phone and make LOS Andorid Q available in the future.
Kind regards

I flashed this rom on my phone, it works really well. And I flashed a Gapps on my phone, work well as well. I did not flash the Nanadroid on my phone, is it necessary? I just worry about it becasue you said something related to SafetyNet, ahaha. I do not know if I do not have it, is my phone still safe?
Thanks a lot again.

UPDATE 08 MAY 2019: I'm in the process of adding support for the in-display fingerprint sensor. Stay tuned.
This is a lineageos 16.0 build from source on 25 April using latest source. The ROM is has been prepatched for system lavel signature spoofing based on the MicroG Android Pie patch (url removed, sigh). I did however change the protection level from "Dangerous" to "Signature|Restricted". This is a more secure way of enable signature patching as it requires the app using signature spoofing to be privaliaged, in other words, it needs to be installed to /system/priv-app in order for it to be granted this permission. This means that you wont be at risk of downloading and installing apps that might abuse signature spoofing.
The ROM also passes FULL SafetyNet with microg installed. It uses a custom build from Nanadroid which contains all the latest code changes which you wont find in there official releases as its not yet been packaged as a release. This solved many issues for me, like safetyNet now passing which allows me to install and run banking applications (like Barclay's Mobile Banking) and also uber seems to work just fine using the UnifiedNLP backend providers.
This custom ROM has NO google related apps or code, and you have the ability to switch on google released integration services through the microg services menu.
WORKING
So far... everything I've tested. (except fingerprint)
NOT WORKING
On-display fingerprint.
Installation steps:
1. Restore to stock firmware. I recommend the following Fastboot ROM as thats the one I used. *url removed* (download file search google "equuleus global images V10.2.2.0.PECMIXM")
2. Put device in fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader or Power Button + Vol Down)
3. Flash using MiFlash (Find it on google and be sure to select the "FLASH ALL.bat" option at the bottom and NOT the LOCK on, otherwise you will relock your device)
4. After flashing the stock ROM, let it boot up, then enable developer options and USB debugging.
5. Flash TWRP
* adb reboot bootloader
* fastboot erase recovery
* fastboot flash TWRP_equuleus_1102.img
* fastboot boot TWRP_equuleus_1102.img
6. Once in TWRP, goto WIPE and select DATA. Enter the word "yes" and once it is complete, go back to main menu, RESTART=>RECOVERY to reboot and automatically boot back into recovery.
7. Goto WIPE again, but this time WIPE DalvicCache, SYSTEM & Cache by selecting all 3 and wiping them (NO NOT RESTART AFTER THIS STEP
8. Once wipe is complete, push the content from the download folder provided below to the sdcard folder of the phone.
* adb push download_folder_containing_all_the_files /sdcard/
example: adb push /home/fanix/Downloads/lineageosrom /sdcard/
9. Once complete, you are now ready to flash lineage ROM. Select the lineageos zip file and flash it. (filename => lineage-16.0-20190425-UNOFFICIAL-equuleus.zip)
10. Once complete, you can then reboot to system to load lineage. After going through the lineage setup, you can then install microg (if you want)
Optional - Installing microg (from latest nanodroid) FULL SAFETYNET SUPPORTED
* Boot into TWRP (adb reboot recovery)
* Goto INSTALL, and select the following file: (NanoDroid-microG-20.7.92.20190424.zip).
* NOTE: This will install microg, including MsfProxy and UnifiedNLP with 4 backend providers. It will also install Aurora Store & Fake store.
* When install is complete, reboot and once in lineage, you can configure microg. You can log into google store using Aurora, either with your own account or their anonymised account. This allows you to download anything form the google app store, including apps that require verification, like mobile banking apps.
* If you want, you can test your SafetyNET using Magisk. You can find the magisk manager in the download folder. Install that and test SafetyNET. You do NOT need to root your phone to test this, you can simply install the manager. If you want to root your phone, simply boot back into TWRP and select the magisk 19.0 zip file and that will then also root your device.
Enjoy!

thanks a lot again
Any news plss
Any news?
Still others are maintaining this rom, looking forward to updating
I was willing to bring up the rest of the hardware and make this device official, but I don't have the device. Is there any interest in donating a device for such purpose?

Would love to be in a position to do that. However, I have just had my OnePlus 6T stolen, and now need my Mi 8 Pro as a daily driver. Would be happy to donate to get the fingerprint reader working on AOSP / GSI-Treble ROMs for the MI 8 Pro.

What is this?
T-Virus (for treble-virus) is a tool that takes a stock Nokia 8 firmware and "infects" it with various parts from the Nokia 8 Sirocco firmware, generating a firmware bundle that is compilant with Project Treble and that can be flashed to a Nokia 8 using NOST.
Firmware Sources
The base of T-Virus is the stock Nokia 8 firmware image (5150 / April Security patch at the time of writing). When being run, the build script takes those files and replaces the partition table with the one from Nokia 8 Sirocco. This required for creating a vendor partition that the stock Nokia 8 does not have. The vendor image is taken from the Sirocco firmware as well. During the build, the vendor image is mounted as rw, and various files are copied over from the stock Nokia 8 system image, or get patched to properly support the minor hardware differences between the two phones. Those actions are defined through very basic scripts inside of the vendor folder in the repository.
The boot image is a modified version of my umbrella kernel, which has support for early mounting vendor. It also includes a TWRP build with full support for Project Treble.
SELinux Hell
Because Android does some very weird stuff with SELinux contexts, you cannot launch a service file when it has an unknown context. We have to fix that by force-setting the SELinux context manually, but due to how SELinux works, this is only possible on a Linux system without SELinux. This means, that you cannot build this on a distribution with SELinux (Fedora in my case). I fixed the problem by building the images in a Ubuntu VM.
How to build?
First you have to download the latest firmware image from https://tmsp.io/fs/xda/nb1/firmware, and the exdupe tool from https://www.quicklz.com/exdupe
Extract the firmware into a folder and then clone the repository, like this:
Code:
$ mkdir firmware
$ ./exdupe -R ~/Downloads/NB1-5150-0-00WW-B03.qlz firmware/
$ git clone https://github.com/resident-nokia/t-virus
$ cd t-virus
The build script has two options you have to set: a version and the path to the extracted firmware. This means you have to run it like this:
Code:
$ ./build.sh --version v0.1 --firmware ../firmware
Leave it running and when it asks you, enter your sudo password. This is required to mount the Android ext4 partitions and edit the files that are only accessable by the (Android) root user, and retain their permissions.
When the script has finished the flashable firmware image will be inside of the out folder. You can optionally package this as a .qlz file again using exdupe.
What works?
It boots
Data decryption in recovery
Flashing GSIs / OpenGApps in recovery
WiFi
Mobile Data
Bluetooth
Sound
Vibration
Calling
Hardware buttons
Fingerprint
Camera
GPS
NFC
SDCard
Multi SIM
4k Video
What doesn't work, or isn't tested
Haptic feedback for Hardware buttons
Bluetooth headphones don't get registered properly
Nokia OZO audio support is missing
Fingerprint sensor is reported as being on the back of the phone
There might be issues with USB transfer under Windows
VoLTE (untested)
How to install?
WARNING: This might not be useable as a daily driver. Continue only if you are able to troubleshoot things if neccessary (bootloops, bricking the phone, causing the alarm app to declare nuclear war)
You can download the latest release from the releases page on the repository. It is a .qlz firmware, so you will have to flash it through NOST. You will need a completely unlocked bootloader. When flashing, make sure to select the "Erase Userdata" option, not doing this will most certainly bootloop the phone.
After the installation completed, your phone will reboot into phh's AOSP GSI. If you want to use a different GSI (you most likely will), follow these steps:
Download your favorite GSI
Unpack every form of compression, so you end up with a .img file
Boot into recovery
Copy the .img to the internal storage of your phone, or to your SDCard
Select "Install" -> "Install .img", select the image file you copied and flash it to your system partition
Then install OpenGApps or any other modifications you like.
Wipe /data to allow the new system image to boot properly and then reboot
To update to a newer version without having to erase userdata, download the zipped vendor image from the release page, and flash the image inside in TWRP.
If you want to go back to stock, simply download the 5150-revert firmware and flash it with NOST, with the "Erase Userdata" option enabled. It will revert all changes T-Virus made to your phone. Firmwares from https://tmsp.io/fs/xda/nb1 will not work.

What if I have a bug?
Upload a proper bugreport. This means logcat and dmesg. If you don't know how to get them, google it. Also, describe the issue and provide steps to replicate it. Everything else will be ignored.
I don't daily drive this phone anymore. I am doing this just because it is an interesting technical challenge. I don't have as much motivation to fix bugs than someone who daily drives it.
I want to say thank you!
I usually don't do this, but since this involved a lot of work on my side, I would be grateful if you would want to say thank you by buying me a coffee (or two): https://paypal.me/thmsp
Ok. After the flashing we have a phone "infected" by the Project Treble. But what it gives to end-user? What is profit of this?

The ability to install GSIs (Generic System Images). Basically everything from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Oh! Sounds pretty good! Thanks. Will think about it. Really expands posiibilities and needs to be tested.

It could work, since it is a modified firmware for reflashing, but just to be sure, update to Pie through OTA. That's what this has been tested with and you won't update your bootloader in the process which eliminates some possible incompatibilities.
What is password for t-virus-20190703.qlz? Should I flash the TV-20190703-vendor.zip before or t-virus-20190703.qlz is all I need?

It's all in the instructions. There is no password on the qlz file. You can't extract it, you have to flash it using NOST. The zip is for updating from previous versions and not for the initial installation.
Oh, I understood. No need to unpack, just download and flash over NOST, right? Thanks ones more. It is new for me, that`s why I have so much questions.

Yes. Just follow the instructions in NOST and select the T-Virus .qlz when it asks you to. Also, make sure you select the "Erase Userdata" option in the drop down menu that appears after selecting the .qlz.
Thank you for this - hope you enjoy the couple of coffee's

When I tried it it didn't boot. Your mileage may vary, but you probably have to wait until the source code for Q has been published and people can build real phh GSIs from it.
Hello! Author, don`t you planning to build the same but for Android 8.1? Your work is great anyway but would be just amazing to have an Oreo in this appearance. Thank you.

Just flash an Oreo GSI? I know you can run Pie GSIs on Oreos vendor, so it should work fine the other way around.
Nah! Didn`t work. After "android" logo it drops into download mode. AOSP 32 (last version of A 8.1 GSI).

I am not exactly sure if I understand you correctly, but Nokia 8 is not an A-only device, it is an AB device. You need to flash the AB image of AOSP, not the A one.
Right, I did exactly like you said. system-arm64-ab-vanilla-nosu - image that I flashed couple minutes ago. Downloaded from here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v32
I`m sorry about my English. I`m Russian.

Ok, then it probably doesn't work the other way around (Oreo with Pie vendor). An Oreo-based T-Virus is unlikely to happen though, because Siroccos Oreo vendor has some problems (calls not going through properly), and I dont want to maintain two versions of it because, as said in the OP, I don't use my Nokia 8 anymore. It seems like Pie is all you can get with this for now, sorry.
Hi all. Just to make it clear. The procedure for the Nokia 8 is:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Do "critical unlock" (fastboot flashing unlock_critical)
3. Flash "t-virus-20190703.qlz" with NOST?
Did i miss something? Whats with Security Enabled Linux?

That's right. Don't forget to add "erase data" option while flashing t virus with NOST otherwise you'll end up in a bootloop.

What is it? What is Ubuntu Touch?
Ubuntu Touch, as comes from naming, is Ubuntu managed to run on phone.
Well, Canonical abandoned it, so community organization, UBports, now develops, maintains, and ports UT to new devices.
And this is what the thread is about. The amount of devices able to run UT was 63(as written on website at the time of writing this post). But now it is 64 devices.
The 64th port to Xiaomi Mi 8.So, lets talk now what works, and what is not(you will also be able to see that on website, as soon as merge request will be accepted).
What works:
Actors
Manual brightness(auto seems not supported by UT, idk)
Notification LED
Vibration
Torchlight
Camera
Flashlight
Photo
Video
Switch between front and rear cameras
Cellular
Carrier info
Calls
SMS
Audio routings (switching between main speaker, and phone speakers)
Volume control
Misc
Battery percentage
Online charging(while phone is on, or in sleep/standby state)
UBports recovery
Network
WiFi(2.4GHz, 5GHz)
Bluetooth
Hotspot(partially, seems that 5G is not supported)
Flight Mode
Sensors
Fingerpring
GPS
Rotation
Touchscreen(ofc, otherwise I would write this post)
Sound
Microphone
Earphones
Loudspeaker
Volume Control
USB
ADB
MTP
Several things, are not tested, such as Wireless Display, NFC, SIM PIN Unlock, MMS, Dual SIM.
Non working features are Offline Charging, Auto-brightness, Proximity Sensor(you need to click the Power Button, that won't stop the call).
Big thanks to TheKit who helped me with the port.
TheKit's Gitlab and UBports forum profile.
Right now, config for UBports Installer is waiting approval of pull request, and merge request for devices.ubuntu-touch.io is still not approved, you will have to do everything manually. UBports Installer config PR finally merged, but only Global versions are supported, since firmware files that are flashed by Installer are for Global. If you do install, be sure to flash vendor and firmware packages for your variant after.
WARNING! YOU MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! EVERY THING YOU DO, YOU DO ON YOUR RISK, IF YOU BRICKED DEVICE, THATS YOUR FAULT, NOT MY! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR BRICKED DEVICE!
Preparations before installation.
Flash TWRP recovery
You need to download and flash stock firmware and vendor from Android 9, MIUI V11.0.6.0.PEAMIXM(be aware that this Vendor+Fw is for Global, if your Device is Chinese or Russian variant, or any other, flash vendor package according your phone variant). It is compressed into ZIP file, so you will have to flash it though TWRP. Do not use adb sideload, push file to any directory you want, and install it from phone.
Download boot.img, system.img, recovery.img from here.
In TWRP go to "Wipe" ==> "Format Data" ==> Type "yes" ==> Enter. Then go to Reboot ==> Recovery. After restarted. Again go to Wipe ==> Advanced Wipe, and select all partition except USB-OTG
Now we have two ways of installation, from TWRP, and from Fastboot.
TWRP
On PC:
Code:
$ adb push system.img /tmp
$ adb push boot.img /tmp/
Now go to "Install"
Get to /tmp/ directory
"Install Image"
Flash boot.img to Boot partition, system.img to System.
Then reboot to system.
If system works, reboot to TWRP again and push recovery.img to /tmp/, then flash it to Recovery partition.
Fastboot method:
Code:
#Simple as that
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
#Flash recovery only after you are sure system works.
Or you can just install a installable zip archive I've recently made. All my builds will be hosted on GitHub Releases on my repo. New builds will come by every new official OTA release. UBports recovery is not included, installation goes proceeds from TWRP, install just as simple as custom ROM installation. Btw, do you want me to add notch patches to system image, so it doesn't look awkward?
Note: this zip is not signed, so disable signature verification before installing, or installation will fail.
Optionally you can adjust your panel so it doesn't look weird. Rn idk how to move panel below the notch(display cutout, I hate Apple for that). It moves buttons in Panel below, and adjusts height of the panel. This repo will do everything for you. Just download it to device. And run apply-notch-hax.sh. It will automatically find device name, apply patches, and restart Unity.
Note: run the script as standard user, not root.
Note2: if you get bootloop, wipe system, format data, restart bootloader, flash everything again, but before rebooting to system try flashing SELinux permissiver. And don't flash Magisk, it's useless, and may destroy your system.
Device source: Gitlab
Kernel source: Gitlab
Gitlab CI build artifacts: Gitlab
Join Telegram support group if you need any help.
See all supported devices at official website.
P.S. Since you have to use fastboot, and UBports Installer uses fastboot, there may be some difficulties for Ryzen CPU users. I attached zip file with executable (.bat file). It will allow you use fastboot with USB 3.x + Ryzen. Unpack it. And run .bat file as admin. Reboot. Voila, fastboot works as should.
Linux users should either use another laptop with Intel CPU, or flash from Windows, or use USB 2.0 hub.
P.S.S. Ok, I managed to get GitHub CI to work, so now if any of you want to test fixes and new features, head to this GitHub repo, and download artifacts from "Make OTA images"(in Actions tab), and flash them using fastboot.
Amazing work! I've always wanted to port UBTouch to Mi 8 but I couldn't get WiFi and mobile data to work on my attempts. As my primary phone, I needed it to be online as much as possible. Really happy to be able to use it on our devices
I've noticed an issue (I haven't managed to recreate this however):
- The OS can't switch between audio outputs, for example I need to restart my phone to hear sounds from loudspeaker after making a phone call. Please let me know if there's a workaround for this issue.
I'll be looking out for more issues to report. Once again, thanks for this port it's amazing

I updated download link, so if you have already flashed everything, I suggest you to flash a new recovery, as previous one, identified device as Mi MIX 3.
it is still complex for my level of knowledge to install this rom on my Mi 8 and it is with great joy that we have a port like this from Ubuntu Touch and that in the future it will be easier to install and maybe other ports as well as SailfishOS in the menu. Mi 8 great job Dev.

Also notch fix gives me this error in terminal
EDIT: nevermind the apk i forgot to run anbox-tool install
EDIT2: nevermind notch fix i just pushed the file to downloads and run sh command
Amazing work! It is the fastest rom I have ever installed! The SIM PIN unlock works well and the offline charging partially (approximately, five minutes after connecting the charger). I hope NFC works, too. In the future, it would be nice if apply-notch-hax.sh was fixed (error, line 57). Anyway, thank you for porting and providing this rom!

Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential and useful features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 12.0 (11 is available but 12 has no difference in terms of issues and is faster an the better ui and everything else of course)
Disclaimer:- This will void warranty.
You will need to unlock bootloader.
*All your data will be lost*

(NOTE: do not apply the fixes if a bug does not affect you)
BUGS:- bluetooth ear/headphones do not work workaround- ( go into phh treble settings misc features and enable force-disable a2dp offload (thanks to @Lil_Boudy for figuring it out!)
If bluetooth crashes your system disable media recommendations under Sound & Vibration > Media > Show media recommendations
mtp not working (mtp does work in twrp and in some custom kernels the one linked here does not fix mtp as it is not changing too many things compared to other custom kernels which brick some phones)
sim 1 incoming and outgoing does not work (you can revieve calls and call but you wonth hear anything nor will your mic go trying to fix) (workaround is to put your sim into slot 2) (i have heard that other people dont have this issue so i guess try your luck)
DO NOT let the phone die of battery you will not be able to boot you can get back by holding volume down and power (workaround- in magisk install acca https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/acc and install this apk after installing https://github.com/MatteCarra/AccA then set profile to default (this will shut down the phone at 5% hence removing the risk of your phone not booting after hitting 0%

Step 1
- Uninstall ANY OTHER KERNEL MANAGER app including smartpack/Ktweaks to avoid conflict, since this app uses AI and machine learning to dynamically boost performance when needed
- Install FDE AI Magisk Module to make it a system app, thus it will work better and removes all kernel locks from OEMs (I'm looking at you, Samsung) https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases/download/12.4.1m/FDE.AI-as-system-app.MAGISK.zip
- Update FDE AI to the latest version by downloading the latest APK here, since the fde ai magisk module will only install fde ai 12.4.1, not the latest version: https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases
- Move to the bottom of the screen and select AI Chat, then type /advancedai (no space, no uppercase letters). This will going to make the AI more effective, without you having to do anything.
- Go to the settings tab and use the AUTO settings for FDE AI.

Step 1
- Uninstall ANY OTHER KERNEL MANAGER app including smartpack/Ktweaks to avoid conflict, since this app uses AI and machine learning to dynamically boost performance when needed
- Install FDE AI Magisk Module to make it a system app, thus it will work better and removes all kernel locks from OEMs (I'm looking at you, Samsung) https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases/download/12.4.1m/FDE.AI-as-system-app.MAGISK.zip
- Update FDE AI to the latest version by downloading the latest APK here, since the fde ai magisk module will only install fde ai 12.4.1, not the latest version: https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases
- Move to the bottom of the screen and select AI Chat, then type /advancedai (no space, no uppercase letters). This will going to make the AI more effective, without you having to do anything.
- Go to the settings tab and use the AUTO settings for FDE AI.

So if I understood it right, the gsi files provided via the download redirect link are just mirrors of Ponces' PE builds?

K so your title is kinda misleading with no mention of it being a GSI ( both in the title and in the entire thread ), you've linked to a specific canary build of Magisk while even the stable works fine on A51, slim variant does indeed work on A51 and idk why you just can't link to Ponces' release post and specify the variant they have to download. Uh well nvm, I got the answer I was looking for but I would really appreciate it if you mentioned GSI in the title + don't take this as a hate comment lol.

I agree with this. Before this guide was even put out, I flashed a PE rom to super and it did a boot loop (funny enough i also did this in school so i had to wait 4 hours in order to fix it)
Is there any fix though from your standard? I've been wanting to flash a rom to system and not super. I got a A515F/DS 128GB 4GB RAM from Panama (I live in Canada btw).
