h1. Porting Replicant to Android 9
2
3 91 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
h2. Status with AOSP 9
4 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
5 98 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The Galaxy SIII 4G (i9305) boots (with graphics hacks) under AOSP9, without having to import nonfree libraries:
6
** The device boots until the lock screen
7
** The graphics work but are really slow as they have not been optimized
8 99 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
** Sometime the display content is corrupted
9 98 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
** The touchscreen works
10 49 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* 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

h2. Building AOSP version
19 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
20 88 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
h3. Source code
21
22 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
First get the source code:
23
<pre>
24
$ repo init -u git://git.putti.eu/aosp/manifest_i9305.git -b android-9.0.0
25 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
</pre>
26 46 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
27 88 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
h3. For Trisquel8
28 45 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
<pre>
29 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
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
30
</pre>
31
32 88 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
h3. Building it
33
34
Once this is done, see the device/putti/i9305/README.md for the build instructions.
35
36
h3. Trisquel 8 LXC
37
38
If you use Parabola, you may be interested in running Trisquel 8 in LXC.
39
40
To do that first debootstrap a Trisquel 8 rootfs. 
41
42
Parabola's debootstrap does support Trisquel 8 and its manual has an example on how to do that:
43
<pre>
44
$ man debootstrap
45
[...]
46
# debootstrap flidas flidas-root http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel
47
</pre>
48
49
Then you can use virt-manager to setup the LXC instance.
50
51 89 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
The advantages of this solution are that:
52 88 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The LXC guest and host shares their resources (CPU, RAM) with almost no penalty
53
* Trisquel 8 is not a rolling release distribution
54
55
The disadvantage of this solution are that:
56
* you need to configure again the Trisquel 8 LXC instance (vimrc, sshd_config, etc)
57 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* It's more complicated to setup
58 90 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* The Android build system output a warning message about not being able to use namespaces which may become mandatory in newer Android versions

First month of full time equivalent work:
63
64 51 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
|_. Task |_. Time estimation |_. Comments |
65 74 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| -boot a device under AOSP9- | DONE | Only boots with graphics, not much more |
66 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- 
67
Builds under Trisquel8|
68 57 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| * port the changes from AOSP9 to LineageOS 16
69
* cleanup the code
70 59 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* build the kernel from the Android build system
71
* make sure it builds with an FSDG compliant distribution
72 73 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
* document the build procedure | 21h | |
73
| find, remove and document proprietary software in LineageOS 16 | 14h | |

76
| port the AAT1290 flash led Linux driver | 7h | |
77 95 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| rebrand LineageOS as Replicant | 7h | |
78
| port and cleanup the the Galaxy SIII (i9300) "modem":https://github.com/fourkbomb/linux/tree/modem Linux driver from 4.16 to 5.0 | 70h | |
79 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
|_. Total |_. 147h | ~1 month |
80 93 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
81 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
Second month of full time equivalent work:
82 95 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| * port  libsamsung-ril and libsamsung-ipc to Android 9
83
* Make the modem driver and libsamsung-ipc work together | 157h | libsamsung-ipc should be trivial, libsamsung-ril probably needs to be heavily adapted to Trebble or the new RIL interfaces |
84 75 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
|_. Total |_. 157h | ~1 month |

86 87 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
Third month of full time equivalent work:
87 1 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
|_. Task |_. Time estimation |_. Comments |
88 75 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| port the sensors libraries and other device specific libraries | 70h | |
89 57 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add support for Audio | 70h | Might be way faster, depending on what Android 9 uses |
90 77 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add support for the Galaxy SIII (i9300) and factorize the code with i9305 | 14h | |
91 76 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
|_. Total |_. 154h | ~1 month |
92
93
|_. Task |_. Time estimation |_. Comments |
94 67 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| create a recovery | 21h | |
95 71 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add internal WiFi support and validate the functionality | 6h | |
96 96 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
| add external WiFi dongles support | 20h | External dongles support might be tricky |
97 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.
98 71 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
We also created generic instructions but they tend to be harder to follow[1] than the device specific ones.
99
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. |
