Porting Replicant to Android 9

Status

  • The Galaxy SIII 4G (i9305) boots (with graphics hacks) under AOSP9, without having to import nonfree libraries. Not much has been validated beside that.
  • 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

Repositories and changes

  • git://git.putti.eu/aosp/manifest_i9305.git
  • git://git.putti.eu/aosp/kernel_i9305.git
  • git://git.putti.eu/aosp/device_i9305.git

Building (WIP)

First get the source code:

$ repo init -u git://git.putti.eu/aosp/manifest_i9305.git -b android-9.0.0

For Trisquel8 (WIP):

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip bc python-mako

Then see the device/putti/i9305/README.md for the build instructions.

TODO

  • Boot a device under AOSP9
  • Build it under a FSDG compliant distribution like Trisquel8
  • Port the device on top of LineageOS 16
  • Find and remove proprietary software if there is any shipped or downloaded with the source code
  • Port Replicant 6 changes
  • Port libsamsung-ipc and libsamsung-ril
  • Port the sensors libraries and other device specific libraries
  • Port the AOSP9 changes on top of LineageOS 16
  • Rebrand LineageOS as Replicant
  • Make sure that Replicant can be built on a GNU/Linux distribution that follows the Free Software Distributions Guidelines
  • Reduce the attack surface
  • Add support for smartphones that were supported in Replicant 4.2 and 6.0 if they meet the HardwareRequirements
  • Add in-system upgrades
