h4. Getting lastest changes

55
* The repositories are being constantly modified with git push --force as we are trying things out, and don't want to make the commits history look too dirty, so be sure to backup your local changes.
56
* Sometimes the manifest repository is also modified with git push --force. In that case the following commands will loose all the work you did locally but will make the repository consistent with upstream repositories again:
57
<pre>
58
$ rm -rf .repo/manifests/ # This enables me to force push and rebase the manifest repository as well
59
$ repo init -u https://git.replicant.us/replicant-9/manifest.git -b replicant-10-wip
60
$ repo sync --force-sync
61
</pre>
62
* The following command might also be necessary to make the state consistent with upstream repositories again, when the manifest history wasn't rewritten, but it will also loose all the work you did locally: 
63
<pre>
64
$ repo sync --force-sync

h4. Get adb
72
73
As the device IDs are the ones given by the Linux kernel, they are not in the adb udev rules, so for now it requires to run adb as root:
74
<pre>
75
$ sudo adb shell
76
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
77
* daemon started successfully
78
i9305:/ #

$ adb shell
81
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
82
* daemon started successfully
83
error: no devices/emulators found
84

85
So make sure to kill the adb-server and run it as root:

h4. Get adb
176
177 147 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
As the device IDs are the ones given by the Linux kernel, they are not in the adb udev rules, so for now it requires to run adb as root:
178 138 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
<pre>
179 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
$ sudo adb shell
180
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
181
* daemon started successfully
182
i9305:/ #                                 
183
$ sudo adb kill-server
184
$ adb shell
185
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
186
* daemon started successfully
187
error: no devices/emulators found
188
</pre>
189
So make sure to kill the adb-server and run it as root:
190
<pre>
191
$ adb kill-server
192
$ sudo adb shell
193
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
194
* daemon started successfully
195
i9305:/ # 
196
</pre>
197
198
h4. Booting
199
200
At some point during boot, the device goes into suspend, so you will need to press some buttons like the power or volume button to make the boot continue until the graphical interface.
201
202
You can also follow the boot progress with adb:
203
<pre>
204
adb logcat
205
adb logcat -b main
206
</pre>
207
208
Note that the device can go into suspend at any time, so adb might be interrupted. That looks like that:
209
First you get a shell
210
<pre>
211
$ sudo adb shell
212
i9305:/ #
213
</pre>
214
215
Then the connection is interrupted:
216
<pre>
217
$ adb shell
218
i9305:/ # [randomdev@fullyfreelaptop ]$                                                                                                     
219
</pre>
220
221
The effect with adb logcat is similar.
222
223
h3. cleanups to be done
224
225
* Make adb work as user by using the right USB IDs, and make userspace do the USB setup.
226
* -Make the kernel not use hardcoded CMDLINE_FORCE- Not possible unless the bootloader is changed or Linux is very heavily patched.
227
* Make the kernel not use hardcoded partitions if possible (though we use system as root)
228
* Make a clean Gatekeeper HAL module implementation instead of using the same hack than goldfish
229
* look at "init.rc":https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/README.md documentation to see if init.rc can be overriden clearly with the override statement to see if it's possible to keep the serial console patch for -eng
230
231
h3. Using SwiftShader instead of Mesa3D llvmpipe for software rendering
232
233
To use SwifShader you need a kernel that supports UDIV/SDIV emulation, you can checkout the branch GNUtoo/udiv-emulation for kernel/replicant/linux. After doing that that run the following commands to use SwiftShader:
234
235
<pre>
236
$ adb remount
237
$ adb shell
238
i9305:/ # rm vendor/lib/egl/libGLES_mesa.so # or move it somewhere safe meanwhile you test SwiftShader
239
i9305:/ # nano system/build.prop # set ro.hardware.hwcomposer=ranchu and ro.hardware.gralloc=default
240
$ adb reboot
241
</pre>

245
h3. Status with AOSP 9
246
247
* The Galaxy SIII 4G (i9305) boots (with graphics hacks) under AOSP9, without having to import nonfree libraries:
248
** The device boots until the lock screen
249
** The graphics work but are really slow as they have not been optimized
250
** Sometime the display content is corrupted
251
** The touchscreen works
252
* The kernel used is based on Linux 5.0-rc6 and has ~150 Android specific patches on top and some patches for the Galaxy SIII 4G (i9305) on top

266

269

270

h4. For Trisquel 8
273
274
<pre>
275

276
</pre>
277
278
h4. Building it
279
280
Once this is done, see the device/putti/i9305/README.md for the build instructions.
281
282
h4. Trisquel 8 LXC
283
284
If you use Parabola, you may be interested in running Trisquel 8 in LXC.
285
286
To do that first debootstrap a Trisquel 8 rootfs. 
287
288
Parabola's debootstrap does support Trisquel 8 and its manual has an example on how to do that:
289
<pre>
290
$ man debootstrap
291
[...]
292
# debootstrap flidas flidas-root http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel
293
</pre>
294
295
Then you can use virt-manager to setup the LXC instance.
296
297
The advantages of this solution are that:
298
* The LXC guest and host shares their resources (CPU, RAM) with almost no penalty
299
* Trisquel 8 is not a rolling release distribution
300
301
The disadvantage of this solution are that:
302
* you need to configure again the Trisquel 8 LXC instance (vimrc, sshd_config, etc)
303
* It's more complicated to setup
304
* The Android build system output a warning message about not being able to use namespaces which may become mandatory in newer Android versions

* "Unbreak 5.2 booting:":https://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2019/06/14/4 This is really tricky as to work with the stock bootloader we'd have to disable the caches and the MMU. We need to look if upstream u-boot would accept something like that. Else we'd need to maintain a stub it.

324 228 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
*libsamsung-ril:* 
325
* Ported to Replicant 9 using a wrapper for the API >=12 in libsamsung-ril source code that needs to be removed
326
* Tested under Replicant 9 without up to date libsamsung-ipc (no modem init)
327
* Tested and validated under Replicant 6 (doesn't break telephony)
328
329
h3. Modem status TODO
330
331 227 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Implement the missing part to shut down the modem, close the interfaces and such, in order to need to reboot after each test.
332
* Continue to clean up the libsamsung-ipc and libsamsung-ril patches, test the patches in Replicant 6 when applicable, and merge them in the upstream repositories.
333
* Convert the firmware loading driver to the upstream API and then adapt libsamsung-ipc for that. This should also benefit other devices like the Galaxy SIII 4G, and the Galaxy Note II 4G which probably don't need much more to get their modem supported by upstream Linux.
334
* Cleanup and convert the rest of the drivers to look like the ones for the Nokia N900 and adapt the userspace in libsamsung-ipc, and merge libsamsung-ipc support for that once the kernel API is stable.
335
* Test the code under Replicant 9 when the graphics status will enable to have decent enough speed to do some testing through human interaction.

| -port the sensors libraries and other device specific libraries-
369
Look which sensor libraries can be used | 70h | Already done by the unofficial LineageOS port of the Galaxy SIII (i9300), needs testing |
370 255 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add support for Audio with the upstream kernel driver | 70h | Might be way faster, depending on what Android 9 uses

| -add partial (no modem) support for the Galaxy SIII 4G (i9305) and- factorize the code with i9300 | 14h | * The source code on which the work was based changed from AOSP to an unofficial LineageOS port to a port of i9305 support for AOSP by Joonas to the official LineageOS so it's now supported by default
373
* The work to factorize the code between the i9300 and i9305 still need to be done |

| -create new- update the install and upgrade instructions | -35h- | -Our current install instructions don't scale as we have one copy for each device.-
382
-We also created generic instructions but they tend to be harder to follow[1] than the device specific ones.-
383
-This will be made in a modular format (for instance in LaTeX) that enables to generate per device install instructions without requiring to have multiples copy of the same text.-
384 214 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
-The instructions will need to be able to be modified and compiled on an FSDG compliant distribution.-
385
Mostly done: 
386
* The installation instructions are now generic enough. 
387
* Some long standing TODO were also done along the way like adding backup instructions for the EFS.
388
* The current instructions are still for Replicant 6.0 and will need to be updated for Replicant 9.0 |

* It might be interesting to contact the people doing ports once we have something working well enough.
435
* It is also interesting to look at other attempts to understand if a given device is powerful enough to run Android 9 and what configuration was used to achieve it.
