The basic features working on Replicant 9 and 10 have been confirmed to work on Replicant 11, but not everything has been tested yet on either version. The source code and build instruction for both these previous versions have been kept to do regression tracking:

h3. Fixing the build environment
61
62
h4. Allow system binaries for building
63
64
By default, the Android 11 build system can only use the prebuilt binaries it ships.
65
66
While having binary toolchains is better for reproducible builds, and that the binaries are free software, this creates a number of issues:
67
* We need to be able to rebuild the binaries, and so far no one did it yet.
68
* Binaries are way harder to trust than source code and not everyone trust Google.
69
70
As GNU/Linux distribution's tools can be rebuilt and are easier to trust, we are using that for now.
71
72
h4. Java heap space
73
74
The Java heap size is automatically set according to the available system memory. On machines with 8 GB or less RAM, it is set to a value which is too low, and will result in the following error during the build:
75
76
<pre>
77
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
78
</pre>
79
80
The heap size can be "increased with an envirnoment variable":https://stackoverflow.com/a/60474592/1313087:
81
82
<pre>
83
$ export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx3g"
84
</pre>
85
86
h4. Reduce parallel jobs to avoid killed processes
87
88
Increasing the Java heap space is not enough to get a successful build on machines with 8 GB or less RAM. It is also necessary to reduce the number of parallel jobs, to avoid processes from being killed due to lack of memory. This typically happens during the build of @frameworks/base@ components.
89
90
For greater speed, you may let your build run with the defaults, wait for it to fail due to killed processes, and then relunch the build with:
91
92
<pre>
93
$ make -j1
94
</pre>
95
96
By default, "Ninja":https://ninja-build.org/manual.html, the underlaying build system for Android, used when you run @make bacon@, computes the number of parallel jobs according to the number of CPUs on your machine (typically #CPUs + 2 parallel jobs).
97
98
99
h3. Launching the build
100
101
<pre>
102
$ cd kernel/replicant/linux && ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- make replicant_defconfig && ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- make -j9 && cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-i9305.dtb > zImage-dtb
103
$ source build/envsetup.sh
104
$ lunch lineage_i9305-eng
105
$ make
106
</pre>
107
108
h3. Install the images
109
110
h4. From scratch
111
112 13 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
113
Due to the bug #2235 we can't use the same commands than before with Replicant 9 and 10:
114 1 Joonas Kylmälä
<pre>
115
$ cd out/target/product/i9305
116
$ sudo heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --USERDATA userdata.img --SYSTEM system.img 
117
</pre>
118 13 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
119
Instead we have to install it in a different way:
120
* First we need to flash the images with @heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img  --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img@
121
* Then we need to reboot to recovery during the boot by pressing the volume up, menu and power buttons
122
* Then we need to select @Wipe data/factory reset@ and then @Factory data reset@
123
* And finally we can boot to Replicant 11 by selecting @Reboot the system now@
124
125
126
127
128 1 Joonas Kylmälä
129
h4. Update previous installation
130
131
<pre>
132
adb remount
133
adb sync
134
</pre>
135
136
h3. Get adb
137
138
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:
139
<pre>
140
$ sudo adb shell
141
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
142
* daemon started successfully
143
i9305:/ #                                 
144
$ sudo adb kill-server
145
$ adb shell
146
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
147
* daemon started successfully
148
error: no devices/emulators found
149
</pre>
150
So make sure to kill the adb-server and run it as root:
151
<pre>
152
$ adb kill-server
153
$ sudo adb shell
154
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
155
* daemon started successfully
156
i9305:/ # 
157
</pre>
158
159
h3. Boot progress
160
161
You can also follow the boot progress with adb:
162
<pre>
163
adb logcat
164
adb logcat -b main
165
</pre>
166
167
Note that the device can go into suspend at any time, so adb might be interrupted. That looks like that:
168
First you get a shell
169
<pre>
170
$ sudo adb shell
171
i9305:/ #
172
</pre>
173
174
Then the connection is interrupted:
175
<pre>
176
$ adb shell
177
i9305:/ # [randomdev@fullyfreelaptop ]$                                                                                                     
178
</pre>
179
180
The effect with adb logcat is similar.
181
182
h3. Getting the latest changes
183
184
* 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.
185
* 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:
186
<pre>
187
$ rm -rf .repo/manifests .repo/manifests.git .repo/manifest.xml
188
$ repo init -u https://git.replicant.us/replicant-next/manifest.git -b replicant-11-dev
189
$ repo sync --force-sync
190
</pre>
191
* 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: 
192
<pre>
193
$ repo sync --force-sync
194
</pre>

198
|_. Distribution |_. Works |_. Comments |

| Trisquel 8 | Yes | Tested with an lxc chroot:
200
                     * Builds images fine       |

h3. Build VM
204
205
If you use Parabola, you may be interested in running Trisquel 8 in LXC.
206
207
To do that first debootstrap a Trisquel 8 rootfs. 
208
209
Parabola's debootstrap does support Trisquel 8 and its manual has an example on how to do that:
210
<pre>
211
$ man debootstrap
212
[...]
213
# debootstrap flidas flidas-root http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel
214
</pre>
215
216
Then you can use virt-manager to setup the LXC instance.
217
218
The advantages of this solution are that:
219
* The LXC guest and host shares their resources (CPU, RAM) with almost no penalty
220
* Trisquel 8 is not a rolling release distribution
221
222
The disadvantage of this solution are that:
223
* you need to configure the Trisquel 8 LXC instance (vimrc, sshd_config, etc)
224
* It's more complicated to setup
225
* The Android build system outputs a warning message about not being able to use namespaces which may become mandatory in newer Android versions
226

h4. Trisquel 8
230 1 Joonas Kylmälä
231 9 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
With Trisquel 8 we have several issues.
232
233
First we can't update the repo, else we have:
234
<pre>
235
$ repo --force-sync
236
repo: error: Python 3 version is too old; Please use Python 3.6 or newer.
237
</pre>
238
239
The repo from the package may not work if you have python2 in /usr/bin/python.
240
241
To workaround both issues you could do that:
242
<pre>
243
$ sudo apt install repo
244
$ sudo install -m 755 /usr/bin/repo /usr/local/bin/
245
$ sudo sed 's&^#!/usr/bin/python$&#!/usr/bin/python3&' /usr/local/bin/repo -i
246
</pre>
247
248 10 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
h4. Using latest repo (from .repo/repo/repo) ?
249 1 Joonas Kylmälä
250 10 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
If you use your distribution's repo, you might have an old version of repo.
251
252
When that happens, repo notify you about it:
253 1 Joonas Kylmälä
<pre>
254 10 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
... A new version of repo (2.8) is available.
255
... New version is available at: /home/replicant/replicant-11/.repo/repo/repo
256
... The launcher is run from: /usr/local/bin/repo
257
!!! The launcher is not writable.  Please talk to your sysadmin or distro
258
!!! to get an update installed.
259
</pre>
260
261
So in case you have a recent enough python3, you can upgrade.
262
263
Trisquel 8 doesn't have a recent enough python3 to do that.
264
265
h4. latest repo not working due to python2 in /usr/bin/python
266
267
If you have the latest repo and python2 is in /usr/bin/python, you might end with an issue like that:
268
<pre>
269 5 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
$ repo init [...]
270
Traceback (most recent call last):
271
  File "[...]/replicant-11/.repo/repo/main.py", line 56, in <module>

276

277
  File "[...]/replicant-11/.repo/repo/hooks.py", line 472
278
    file=sys.stderr)
279
        ^
280
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
281
</pre>
282
283
This is because /usr/bin/python is python2 instead of python3.
284
285 7 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
In that case you can use @python3 $(which repo)@ instead of @repo@) like that:
286 5 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
287
<pre>
288
$ python3 $(which repo) init [...]
289
</pre>
290
291
Or you can install repo in /usr/local/bin and modify the @#!/usr/bin/env python@ inside it with the following commands:
292
<pre>
293 8 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
$ sudo install -m 755 .repo/repo/repo -t /usr/local/bin
294 1 Joonas Kylmälä
$ sudo sed 's&^#!/usr/bin/env python$&#!/usr/bin/env python3&' /usr/local/bin/repo -i
295
</pre>
296 10 Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
297
Note that the sed command doesn't work for older versions of repo. See the section above about making it work on trisquel8 for one that works on older versions of repo.

h2. Cleanups to be done
300
301
* Make adb work as user by using the right USB IDs, and make userspace do the USB setup.
302
* -Make the kernel not use hardcoded CMDLINE_FORCE- Not possible unless the bootloader is changed or Linux is very heavily patched.
303
* Make the kernel not use hardcoded partitions if possible (though we use system as root)
304
* Make a clean Gatekeeper HAL module implementation instead of using the same hack than goldfish
305
* 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
306
307
h2. Upstreaming status
308
309
* The stock bootloader is incompatible with Linux, see [[BootloadersIncompatibleWithLinux#Devices-with-the-Exynos-4412]] for more information. So we maintain patches to enable the Galaxy SIII, and Galaxy Note II to boot with the stock bootloader. In the long run we need to look into using u-boot in the kernel partition as using u-boot instead of the stock bootloader currently require nonfree and non-redistributable software (BL1).
310
* For the patches that are not merged yet, see the "issues of the redmine upstreaming sub-project":https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/upstreaming/issues
311

Progress of the graphics related tasks is tracked at [[GraphicsReplicant10]].
315
316
h2. Modem status
317
318
*libsamsung-ipc:* 
319
* Fully tested under GNU/Linux only
320
* Can initialize completely the modem and receive messages (see the #1954 bug report for the logs)
321
* Needs more cleanup but there is now a better abstraction
322
323
*libsamsung-ril:* 
324
* Ported to Replicant 9 using a wrapper for the API >=12 in libsamsung-ril source code that needs to be removed
325
* Tested under Replicant 9 without up to date libsamsung-ipc (no modem init)
326
* Tested and validated under Replicant 6 (doesn't break telephony)
327
328
h3. Modem status TODO
329
330
* Implement the missing part to shut down the modem, close the interfaces and such, in order to need to reboot after each test.
331
* 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.
332
* 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.
333
* 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.
334
* Test the code under Replicant 10 when the graphics status will enable to have decent enough speed to do some testing through human interaction.

* It might be interesting to contact the people doing ports once we have something working well enough.
434
* 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.
