some recent applications cause never-ending boot loop about android_device_bq_krillin HOT 27 OPEN

'#' Updated* (instructions taken from https://github.com/Pablito2020/pablito-scripts mm.sh and install-everything.sh the guide was there all along ;-))

'#' For building 13.0 on Ubuntu 17.10
'#' For building 14.1 replace 13.0 with 14.1
'#' Install libraries needed for compiling

'#' if building 14.1 you must add a user name and email berfore "repo init", not needed on 13.0.

'#' I you need "su" on 13.0, edit "device/bq/krillin/device.mk" and add at the end:

# Superuser
WITH_SU := true

'#' The minimum change to make 14.1 build, is to remove the following line from "device/bq/krillin/Boardconfig.mk"

BOARD_WLAN_DEVICE := MediaTek

'#' Start build

It seems to be to this known issue:
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues/979

from android_device_bq_krillin.

this could be required fix:
https://git.replicant.us/replicant/frameworks_base/commit/?id=953d2a3493aaceb3209afc7eef1ff1e7f7242908

from android_device_bq_krillin.

Thanks for pointing to this fix/workaround, I can now use Spotify with my Aquaris E4.5 and Lineage 13.0 and a couple other apps that sent my phone into a bootloop.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

You're welcome. Problem is that I am still fighting with ROM compilation myself and build instructions are not much clear on this. Could you please help me with #14 in return?

Thanks in advance.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

As for building 14.1, compile completes but after flashing it nothing happens after reboot.
It won't even show the battery charging animation in off mode.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

Thanks! This was exactly the piece of information I was missing!

from android_device_bq_krillin.

It got me further, but I ended soon with:

cts/tests/core/runner/Android.mk:18: *** BUILD_CTSCORE_PACKAGE must be defined.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/Devel/krillin/custom_rom'

#### make failed to build some targets (5 seconds) ####

@sleep-walker You get this error when building krillin for lineage 13 or 14.1?

from android_device_bq_krillin.

This was from 13 - following your guide literally.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

I might have missed something essential then, I'll test it on another machine tonite.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

Thank you! I'll try to fix README after.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

These seems to be missing from the guide I made:

I think those make it worse, I removed that ........

(I've not tested if this is the cause of Sleep-Walkers compiling problem.)

from android_device_bq_krillin.

I haven't managed to reproduce Sleep-Walkers error but got some random crashes and lockups in a virtualbox machine I've setup tonite, probably because I forgot to install VBoxLinuxAdditions.run.

I'll know in the morning if that helped.

(It didn't, note to my self, don't use hard drives with faulty sectors...)

from android_device_bq_krillin.

Well, thanks that you have tried. I'm afraid that this is still something stupid but unrelated to system or installed build time dependencies.

$ cat .repo/local_manifests/bq_krillin.xml
<manifest>
    <!-- Device -->
    <!-- 13.0 -->
    <project path="device/bq/krillin" name="Pablito2020/android_device_bq_krillin" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0"/>
    <project path="kernel/bq/krillin" name="Pablito2020/android_kernel_bq_krillin" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0"/>
    <project path="vendor/bq/krillin" name="Pablito2020/android_vendor_bq_krillin" remote="github" revision="cm-13.0"/>

    <!-- 14.0

    <project path="vendor/bq/krillin" name="Pablito2020/android_vendor_bq_krillin" remote="github" revision="cm-14.1"/>
     -->
</manifest>

It leads to this output.txt.

This string is present only in:

• cts/tests/core/runner/Android.mk
• cts/tests/core/libcore/*/Android.mk

Googling doesn't help. I'll try to install Ubuntu in container to build it but I'm afraid this is something implicit I miss.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

@sleep-walker
From your output.txt this doesn't look like standard Ubuntu 16.04:
HOST_OS_EXTRA=Linux-4.13.12-1-default-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5

Had a second try with a fresh virtualbox installation with Ubuntu 16.04, it worked.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

I am preparing my Ubuntu 16.04 chroot for try right now. My distro is openSUSE Tumbleweed, I installed matching packages. The build shouldn't be distribution specific...

from android_device_bq_krillin.

No it shouldn't but what libraries that works changes sometimes.

If you whan't to use a rom that I built, you can find it here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tcz2pE_vM-CW5hxH5jTB0ul60_l7OYiB/view?usp=sharing

from android_device_bq_krillin.

It seems that building in Ubuntu chroot works. I can't identify the difference to my environment. Thanks for your patience.

There was also missing rsync and maybe others but I am building.

Thanks for your build - it will be useful for others for sure but I'd like to play more.

It seems that there are still power users of this phone but noone is maintaining any ROM from security perspective or other known problems.

I'd like to add also blueborne fix (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e860d2c904d1a9f38a24eb44c9f34b8f915a6ea3), adjust speaker volume, etc.

(@tc-gd == @sleep-walker)

from android_device_bq_krillin.

@sleep-walker Had any luck with building the rom?

I've made a blueborne patch for krillin kernel 13.0, it's on the google drive link a few post up, the file "bb_patch" if you'ld like to test it.

Used this as a template:
KonstaT/android_kernel_huawei_msm8909@c779e2e

I'm building with it now, so I don't know yet if it works.

Update: It doesn't seem to break anything ;-p

from android_device_bq_krillin.

I finished the build of CM13 but my ROM build has problem with ADB (cannot authenticate fingerprint), cannot format SD card as internal and for some reason cannot install SuperSU for LineageOS. Besides that it is working well and seems to be faster.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

Congratulations :-D

I've so far not used ADB, SuperSU or tried to use SD card as internal, but I could look into it if you could provide some more details. I have two of these phones, got the second one for testing stuff.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

Thanks!

I compared your ROM with mine and at least we have the same list of files - that is good start.

• adb - you need to enable Developers settings and then enable debugging over USB
• SD card as internal - put SD card, visit storage setting, click on external card, format it as internal - it fails for me when it tries first time to move some data on it

BTW. do you know what is status of CM14?

from android_device_bq_krillin.

I've actually just a few minutes ago managed to boot a Frankenstein build, with some QnD patches to overcome the miss match of vendor 14.1 and device 14.1:

Pablito2020/android_device_bq_krillin cm-14.1
Pablito2020/android_kernel_bq_krillin cm-14.1
Pablito2020/android_vendor_bq_krillin cm-14.1

Buggy as hell tho, but you can make phone calls, send SMS, surf with wifi.

Not tested the install with gapps.

Sim data is of cource broken since vendor cm14.1 is missing bits and pieces for that with device 14.1.
It reboots when you connect it to a pc with usb cable, but it pops up as a device in explorer after reboot..
No off mode battery animation, instead it boots up after charger is inserted.

Was built on a fresh Xubuntu 17.10 install with just the stuff from "pablito-scripts/install-everything.sh".
The script in it self didn't work but I installed what it was supposed to install manually.

from android_device_bq_krillin.

There was a patch for bootlooping apps added to cm-13.0 the twelfth of December last year.

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/197386/

from android_device_bq_krillin.

And I think I found the cause to the "off mode charging" bug on kernel cm-14.1.

WITH_SU fixes me both ADB access and gaining root right.
