How bad do you think Sony will ruin Android 12? - Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion

Since Android 10, Sony hasn't been able to provide a decent UI.
How bad will they screwed it up this time?

It not Sony, it's Android 11/12.
It's base code sucks, blame Gookill...

Not at all, the base code is perfect. Sony devs are blind. It would take 2 hours to fix everything.

Android's implementation of scoped storage is the disaster. Minimum 1 year to fix all the broken pieces but more likely 2-3 years.
It's a fubar.
I have no love of Sony. I doubt even Samsung can tone down 11 enough. Samsung struggled mightily to make Q functional. Dozens of small apks added to plug the holes in Q.
With R the dam broke... a flood of boring, user restrictive Apple surge forward, drowning it's users in security.

Hi Brothers, I have mnaged to build aosp 12 by following sony's guidelines at their open devices project. After flsing the build its struck at bootloop any ideas what could have gone wrong.

actually did you flash the userdata img? sometimes the data is incompatible with older versions like 11. also erase the metadata. happened to me when i was trying to flash a rom not long ago.

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.

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.

Is there a Custom ROM for Huawei 7X/Mate SE?

Would like to use a clean version of Android instead of the EMUI version that is loaded on all their phones.
Seeing how these phones are identical, figured what would work for one would work with the other.
Thanks for giving me any insight.
Coming from the Galaxy Note 4 - hoping I'm not making a mistake with this phone that is enroute.

Nothing happening on this phone I guess.

Guess you haven't bothered looking at the ROMs and development section. While alot of ROMs are not what I would deem "daily material", their is working going on to get ROMs on this device.

Here is a list of supported custom ROMs on Mate SE, Choose the A only ROM.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
The whole custom ROM world has changed, Now you need to apply system.img instead of rom.zip using fastboot command.
I have the PHH-Treble installed on my Huawei Mate SE. here is the link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
In addition, I'd check out the Open Kirin site. I've read the Lineage version is outstanding and well tuned for the chip. They list the 7x as supported but I've read the Mate SE most certainly is also.

Coincidentally, just booted that ROM (on my SE) today. It's very very good, noticed a few minor glitches to do with the camera and navigation (will let them know about em).
I'll admit though, emui8 is growing on me It's certainly better than 5.1 was. Love to see the roms becoming available though. No doubt when updates stop (or before), they will be critical to have.

I don't mind emui except that the power-saver regularly kills tasker, ad-blocking vpns, etc. I've tried everything to exempt them from power saving but no go. The battery life is outstanding though (I usually only lose 15% after a full day's usage), so for average users it's a bonus.

Nothing terribly serious. I didn't use it for long, but the camera option for selfie shutter 'palm to camera' didn't work. Also the recently taken shots didn't show in the bottom gallery (I read this is fixed now). And the navigation arrows at the bottom seemed to not be persistent somehow (after a reboot this was okay).
It's easy to go back to stock, except if you haven't backed everything up, have to reconfigure, add / subtract apps etc.
I'd suggest searching for the openKirin website, they seem to be doing the most development. Also follow their directions, they worked for me and pretty easy.
Hi
How does one flash the "Openkirin_los_beta4" Iso to the Mate SE (BND-L34)? TWRP?? Fastboot??? what are the exact steps to not render it a paper weight again lol; Do you need Magisk-v16.0 to root it as well?

No, you don't need a custom bootloader.
You only need unlocked bootloader and unlocked frp.
TWRP is not supported on OpenKirin ROMs (especially on 7x twrp won't work).
You just need to flash the .img file through bootloader and then reboot to recovery and do a factory data reset.
Can anyone give me some advice: I have the Mate SE, currently on EMUI 8.0.0.332 (security update available but not installed), with TWRP and Magisk. I would love to install a custom ROM, but the OpenKirin site says TWRP isn't supported. Can I still install one of those builds and just expect no support if something goes wrong, or should I find some way to return to full stock before flashing? And if I need stock recovery, where can I find a download for it? I haven't had any luck on searching here yet.

really small amount of custom roms

Hey
I was just wondering why there is not that many custom roms.
I come from a pocoophone and there was nearly daily new roms .
- not a lot of devs have this device
- people that do have this device don't have resources to build
- check telegram, there are roms, just ask around

I bet OnePlus 6/6T is having more ROMs
Kind of wondered the same thing, also coming from a pocophone. I had planned to go custom, but now question if it is even worth it as there seems to be little support. I haven't run non-aosp on a phone in forever.

Also curious how you find these groups - only thing I know when it comes to telegram is clicking on a link to a chat.
Found a group, but of course no links to the chinese twrp. Only links I have found are on weibo and just end up looping around
Other people will disagree but having no working twrp is a big factor. Let's see what happens when OnePlus release there android 11 mash up maybe we will have twrp working and more interest ?

This TWRP works fine for flashing and decrypting on custom ROMs. So it's not that.
And Android 11 will not magically fix everything, if anything, it'll break things like encryption even more.
TWRP is has lots of progress as of late, fastbootd tools has been implemented, dynamic partitions are better handled. Only significant thing left would be ADB sideload.

The decryption is broken because of OnePlus poor implemention of keymaster. Android 11 is once again changing keymaster which will break decryption even on devices that can successfully decrypt on Android 10. This means it will take time for TWRP to properly support decryption on Android 11.
When that happens, decryption might work for 7T/Pro because now OnePlus has to reimplement the new keymaster,. hopefully right this time.
As for flashing ROMs, just use adb push on your PC and push it to /cache or /mnt, then you can flash easily.

Everything has been built and shared over the last year. Name a rom. It's been built already. If you want more android R roms, just wait they're coming. But... Twrp works fine. Even on oos. Use LR Team Twrp (aka chinese twrp) it works perfectly. Flash away or what knot, I have never heard anything about a broken keymaster. that's the first I heard of that one. Flash whatever, build whatever, enjoy phone fun.

It absolutely does decrypt on oos. One must do a full format in twrp first. Then it works perfectly, every feature, 100%. Yes, I did du for 7t in December last year, or January.

General [WIP] Porting LineageOS 20 to the Oneplus 11

We all know the path OnePlus/Oppo went with development, MSM Tools and all, and I want to make it clear and short : I'm going to work on this phone no matter what. The OnePlus 10 series were a failure in this regard and I don't want the OnePlus 11 to experience the same.
I've been in this space for quite some years now, since Xperia X10 times and Android 2.3, and my last device has been a OnePlus 8 Pro that have provided me great service. Sadly, the battery is slowly dying and I can't bring myself to purchasing a phone I cannot tamper with. I've always loved OnePlus and I have hard times considering anything else.
If you're a developer, just wave at me using this thread. We need to know each other and work together to bring something to this phone. The obvious path would be to at least get a TWRP and a basic kernel built. I absolutely want to get to a LineageOS build.
If you're not a dev, but you have deep understanding on how fastboot, bootloader, and all else means, you can be a tester. I haven't bought the OnePlus 11 yet but I'm going to work on it and acquire it if some of you follow me.
If you're nether of these, you can still share the thread to other people to raise awareness.
I'll likely create a Telegram conversation if we get to a few devs. If you're interested in working on the OnePlus 11, please post a reply
@dekefake I've changed the prefix of your thread from "Development", for which it doesn't qualify, to "General"; do not revert that! Prior to your next posting, please read all announcements and guidances that are stuck at the top of every forum like
My phone android 8 m27 3 16 401 2v201U241a...
PS6IMG_PERF[email protected]60331.4_41.13_F_release_477358_combined_signed_2_4.zip...

For example, you'll certainly easily recognise that only threads with own development qualify for the prefix "Development", and this doesn't apply to this thread.

Are you sure TWRP would be necessary? We don't have it on the pixel 6 pro but the rom community is still large
Fingers crossed!
Adb sideload coop with OnePlus again!

Yes that's true, TWRP isn't really necessary anymore, but I feel like this small step would be quite a good start. Either way, having LineageOS booting is the most important and challenging task.

Lol yeah I really hope some devs and testers will join me on this.
Right. Able to boot lineage is the most important thing. Everything can be fixed with time.

We all know the path OnePlus/Oppo went with development, MSM Tools and all, and I want to make it clear and short : I'm going to work on this phone no matter what. The OnePlus 10 series were a failure in this regard and I don't want the OnePlus 11 to experience the same.

I develope the app and also update the video above.
Oneplus roms collection: https://op.daxiaamu.com (yes I maintained it)
I just pre-ordered the 11 and was lucky because I got a 100 Amazon gift card from Amazon so I can get a case and screen protectors I just hope we can get a working root soon I held off on upgrading my 8t because of lack of dual sim in us now one plus gave us dual sim and a bonus of esim so I can't wait as I use both sim slots I have a cheap plan on my main line and I get free unlimited data on my second sim which I need both so I'm happy
TWRP is necessary for NANDroid Backups, I'll join testing if come out.
Mine will be here Thursday. The sooner I can root / debloat etc, the better. I'm no dev, but I will be here testing.

Okay nice. I don't think I'll try to build a TWRP first then. I may try to build a LineageOS build directly. Does someone here dumped an OxygenOS OP11 partition table including partition paths, names, and exact sizes ?
Okay well, I expected more engagement with this thread, and maybe some help..
Is there someone here with a rooted OnePlus 11 ? Or at least with unlocked BL ?

Awesome !
To avoid any soft brick in the future while testing builds, we'd need to know exactly which fastboot features are enabled and which are not, starting with fastboot boot.
Could you please dump your recovery.img and boot.img, and try to fastboot boot each of them to confirm the phone is booting normally sideloading the boot.img, and booting in recovery correctly when sideloading recovery.img ?
Also, I currently have no idea of the partition layout of the OnePlus 11, is it the same as the OnePlus 8 Pro, or if things changed since then, it would be a good thing to dump information about the partition table, possibly using fastboot enhance. I've read in some other threads that someone needed to patch a partition called "init_boot", weighting 8mb, so maybe the kernel now resides in two different partitions : init_boot being the ramdisk and zImage being elsewhere. The best would be to gather more info about the partition table before trying any fastboot sideloading.
To begin, please install a terminal emulator, and type :
Bash:
su
ls -als /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ >> /sdcard/fstab.txt
Please upload the created fstab.txt file here

Question Building AOSP for Red Magic 8 Pro

I'm looking to build AOSP for the Red Magic 8 Pro. Has anyone managed to get the proprietary binaries from Nubia or extract it from the stock firmware?
I have tried searching around for these binaries to no avail. If someone has a download link to share I would really appreciate it. I just want a completely stock android experience and don't mind if not everything isn't working.
Do you really want AOSP or Paranoid Android will do as well? In any case, download OTA here, extract payload.bin and use payload-dumper-go. You can use LineageOS instructions for getting binaries from unpacked .omg files.

Have they already released a ROM for this phone? If not, AOSP builds without most Google trash and I block many of their domains in the hosts file just in case. I did finally find a dump here: https://github.com/RandomPush/nubia_nx729j_dump
Appreciate your help though. I'll post my progress here in case anyone is interested. The android developer documentation says proprietary binaries are usually located in a /vendor partition. Going through the dump now and trying to figure out the bare minimum to get a custom ROM booted.
My guesses are anything Qualcomm related for the SoC. I'm unsure of what baseband/radio chips the phone uses, actually it's been pretty tough to find a good spec sheet on it. Most resources that come up on Google only refer to surface level specs and don't go into much detail on the chips themselves.
No, they haven't, but I've seen people working on it. It would be a bit easier to bring up because PA is CLO-based (not AOSP), so the probability of most stuff working is higher. CLO has some Qualcomm-specific patches. Actually, you can probably build QSSI (like GSI but from CLO) without much difficulties, so this might be the way to go.
I'd recommend that you extract those binaries from OTA anyway as they might be updated in the future. Out of the box you probably won't get working vibration.
With the kernel source released, what's so difficult with building LineageOS and stuff?

We need a good unbricking method just to be on the safe side (personally, I'm not very keen on even trying someone else's build, let alone making my own, simply too much risk). Other than that, a lot of time is needed and there are basically zero good instructions. Once again, LOS isn't the best option for 8g2, would be better to go for Paranoid Android. One can theoretically build QSSI image (basically GSI, but for Snapdragons), might be a good idea for now. Still risky tho

What are the bricking issues here? Usually even if the ROM is f*cked or just something doesn't work you can always flash back to stock through TWRP.

If only there was a fully working TWRP... Unfortunately, there isn't. Well, kind of. It boots but that's it. And no, sideload simply doesn't work. When I went back to stock on my previous device (1+7 Pro), I had to use MSM Tool. Nothing like that is available for RM8P, ZTE doesn't want to give the tools to us because of bs reasons.

Hmm, as I can see from this post, it seems peeps have managed to actually restore the phone from a full brick..: Post
Edl or its countparts is not a necessity for buiding a custom rom. 1st, a custom rom usually just overwrite the application parts, so in the worst case the user can still restore to factory rom via fastboot commands. 2nd, many manufacturers never release their factory rescue tools (Google, ?) but there are numerous custom roms, even official builds.

Or not. In fact, happened to me (Qualcomm crashdump mode or something like that). And if something could go wrong, it will.

Usually those devices have much less ROMs available if any. Just compare 1+9 Pro and 10 Pro.

Bruh the custom ROM and modding community is so mid and goofy for the RM8P Literally one of the main things making me go for a Poco F5 instead
Chinese dev made MIUI rom but its only payed with alipay for like 3 dollars. I im waiting when we can pay with paypal to try it looks good.

Well yeah, but as explained/talked about here, AOSP/LineageOS has to be technically possible
I got the rom maybe extract and check it? Take out alipay security then we can try it

Maybe share the ROM file, then we can try finding some way to remove forced payment/crack it (No paid ROMs allowed in XDA forums) and maybe possibly clean it somewhat (Does it even have english as an option?) and we'll finally get ourselves a finally working alternative custom ROM.
