h2. Status
4 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
5 49 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The Galaxy SIII 4G (i9305) boots (with graphics hacks) under AOSP9, without having to import nonfree libraries. Not much has been validated beside that.
6
* 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

First get the source code:
17
<pre>
18
$ repo init -u git://git.putti.eu/aosp/manifest_i9305.git -b android-9.0.0
19
</pre>

21 45 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
For Trisquel8 (WIP):
22
<pre>
23
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

</pre>

|_. Task |_. Time estimation |_. Comments |
31 74 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| -boot a device under AOSP9- | DONE | Only boots with graphics, not much more |
32 81 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| -build it under a "FSDG compliant distribution":https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html like Trisquel8- | -7h- DONE | -WIP for AOSP, It's difficult to do precise time estimations as it could work out of the box or require one full time month of work depending on how much issues are encountered- 
33
Builds under Trisquel8|
34 57 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli

43 73 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| Rebrand LineageOS as Replicant | 7h | |
44 77 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| * port and cleanup the the Galaxy SIII (i9300) "modem":https://github.com/fourkbomb/linux/tree/modem linux driver from 4.16 to 5.0
45 75 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* Make the modem driver and libsamsung-ipc work together  | 70h | |
46 73 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
|_. Total |_. 154h | ~1 month |
47 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
48 75 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| port  libsamsung-ril and libsamsung-ipc to Android 9| 157h | libsamsung-ipc should be trivial, libsamsung-ril probably needs to be heavily adapted to Trebble or the new RIL interfaces |

53 57 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add support for Audio | 70h | Might be way faster, depending on what Android 9 uses |
54 77 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli

| create a recovery | 21h | |
59 71 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add internal WiFi support and validate the functionality | 6h | |
60
| add external WiFi dongles suppor | 20h | External dongles support might be tricky |
61 74 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| create new install and upgrade instructions | 35h | Our current install instructions don't scale as we have one copy for each device.
62 71 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
We also created generic instructions but they tend to be harder to follow[1] than the device specific ones.
63
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. The instructions will need to be able to be modified and compiled on an FSDG compliant distribution. |
64 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
65
| Reduce the attack surface | | |
66 69 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add in-system upgrades | |
