android_vendor_extendrom's Issues

Problems building LOS20 that I couldn't fix in code

I used (my fork of) this project to make a customised build of LineageOS for Microg. I have submitted the changes that I needed to make as a Pull Request . The build included the following extendrom packages:
AuroraStore AuroraServices BlissLauncher Bromite DAVx5 ICSx5 NextCloud NextCloudNotes OpenTasks K9-Mail-latest Fennec QKSMS OpenCamera noLOSSnap noLOSEmail noLOSMessaging noLOSJelly

When I built the Android 13 / LOS 20.0 version, the build succeeded, but when the device booted, some of the apps were not present. The missing apps were Aurora Services, Bromite, DAVx5, ICSx5 ,Fennec

I was able to "fix" the problem by making changes to the automatically generated vendor/extendrom/Android.mk. For each of the missing target I changed the line
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := PRESIGNED
to
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := $(DEFAULT_SYSTEM_DEV_CERTIFICATE)

For the remaining targets (AuroraStore, BlissLauncher, NextCloud, NextCloudNotes, OpenTasks, K9-Mail-latest) I did not change the LOCAL_CERTIFICATE value, and the apps were present.
(The full patched file can be found at https://codeberg.org/attachments/9946cfb3-9b92-47c8-8f38-48e052269abf)

I found this "fix" in this commit in danielk43's android_vendor_partner_gms repo

I have no idea why the change is needed for some apps and not for others. (I believe it would also be needed for Phonesky but I'm not sure about that as Phonesky didn't make it into my final build for other reasons - see #24).

I have no idea what changes would be needed to make the change when the makefile is being generated.

Add some more alternatives to /e/'s system apps

I will include the following in my custom ROMs. Adding them here will allow others to use them in their ROMs if they choose, without needing to fork this repo. All are available in the F-Droid repo

• Email: K-9 Mail (forked by /e/ for their Mail app)
• Messaging: QKSMS (forked by /e/ for their Message app)
• Browser: Fennec-FDroid (because I prefer Mozilla-based browsers)
• ETAR (forked by /e/ for their Calendar app)

Allow combinations of additional F-Droid repos

The Problem

The additional_repos.xml module adds some popular F-Droid repos which the F-Droid app uses to install and update the apps published in those repos.

We are adding new modules (Bromite browser, more MicroG components) which also have F-Droid repos where updates are releases are published.

Users need to be able to combine these lists of repos and use the combined list in their builds, by including them in the file additional_repos.xml (which the build system places in /vendor/etc/org.fdroid.fdroid).

Upstream F-Droid Android client app looks in the etc/org.fdroid.fdroid subdirectory of a number of different directories (/system, /product, /vendor, /odm, /oem) for a single file named additional_repos.txt, and adds the repo items defined in that file.

Proposed solution

Have a number of different F-DroidRepos targets: one for each possible combination

1. Extra_FDroidRepos: (the current additional_repos.xmlfile / target )
2. Microg_FDroidRepos: contains microG F-Droid repo and microG F-Droid archive
3. Bromite_FDroidRepos: contains Bromite F-Droid repo
4. MicrogBromite_FDroidRepos: 2 and 3 combined
5. All_FDroidRepos: 1, 2 and 3 combined

This is not the most elegant solution - see below - but it is the one that involves the least work / fewest changes. It also gives a clear pattern for how users can add their own additional repos in combination with existing ones

Alternative solutions

1. Change upstream: Make changes in the F-Droid android client, so that , instead of including repos speciied only in a file named additional_repos.xml, it includes content from all files matching the regexp *_repos.xml
   • pro: very flexible; no inter-dependencies between modules that have associated F-Droid repos
   • con: needs java code to be written (and tested and inspected); no guarantee upstream would accept the change
2. Add code in this project to combine information from multiple *_repo_items.xml into a single additional_repos.xml file
   • pro: very flexible; easy to add more repos for new targets
   • con: more code (shell scripts and / or makefiles) to be written, inspected, and tested (and to introduce bugs :) ) I don't have the skills to write that code

MicroG GmsCore: replace /e/ version with LineageOS for microG

Current /e/ OS ROMs contain a version of MicroG GmsCore that does not include the Exposure Notification framework, used by Covid contact tracing apps. Their preferred method of installing the EN Framework is to use their Apps app store, which is buggy, and which is not possible when Apps is removed from the ROM. It is also not clear whether - or how - /e/ will provide updates to the EN Framework in future.

Solution is to

• use the version of GmsCore used by LineageOS for microG
• add the MicroG F-Droid repos to the additional_repos package/module

Clarification needed for mkbootimg.mk instructions

copy the whole (matching to your device..) $(INSTALLED_BOOTIMAGE_TARGET): block from build/core/Makefile

my Makefile has multiple $(INSTALLED_BOOTIMAGE_TARGET): blocks in it. How do I know which one to copy?

add: @/bin/bash $(ROOT_BOOT_BIN) $$PWD/$@ in the block of $(INSTALLED_BOOTIMAGE_TARGET): , AFTER the MKBOOTIMG line and BEFORE any AVB line

none of the $(INSTALLED_BOOTIMAGE_TARGET): blocks in the file contain a MKBOOTIMG line.

there is a block called $(INSTALLED_VENDOR_BOOTIMAGE_TARGET): which contains a MKBOOTIMG line.

MicrogGmsCore doesnt work.

when trying to include MIcroG GMS core, it doesnt work.

• custom OS name you build for (e.g. LOS, AXP.OS, ...) -> Ressurection Remix
• Android version (e.g. A9, A10, A11, ...) -> A10

Changes needed in 'Phonesky' for LOS 20.0

When I made a custom build of Lineageos for Microg including the Phonesky extendrom package, the build succeeded, but the built ROM bootlooped.

The problem is that for Android 13 / LOS 20 Phonesky needs some additional permissions in extra/com.android.vending.xml

I found details of the fix in this commit in the MinMicrog github repo

Making those changes allowed the ROM to boot successfully. However, I didn't save the changes, and removed Phonesky from my build, while I was trying to get round the "missing apps" problem (see #23), so I can't submit working patches (or a PR ;) )

Use a 'production' version of Lawnchair

The Lawnchair builds available on APK Mirror are C/I builds. When they are installed, when they are first used, or when set as default home screen / launcher, they display a popup message saying something like "Please don't use CI builds in production: use official releases".

Solution is to pick up the version from the Google Play store (via Aurora Store app), and use that version instead

Fennec is broken

Removing it from system and installing it manually through f-droid makes it work fine however.

LOS 19.1 extendrom builds fail due to `--enforce-uses-libraries`

I got a build error below when building extendrom targets (repeated for most of the prebuilt targets)
error: mismatch in the <uses-library> tags between the build system and the manifest:

The interesting bit from the full error message is

- to temporarily disable the check on command line, rebuild with RELAX_USES_LIBRARY_CHECK=true 
  (this will set compiler filter "verify" and disable AOT-compilation in dexpreopt)
- to temporarily disable the check for the whole product, set PRODUCT_BROKEN_VERIFY_USES_LIBRARIES := 
  true in the product makefiles
- to fix the check, make build system properties coherent with the manifest
- see build/make/Changes.md for details

The file build/make/Changes.md says

* Android.bp property: `provides_uses_lib`
* Android.mk variable: `LOCAL_PROVIDES_USES_LIBRARY`

It is possible to disable the check on a per-module basis. When doing that it is
also recommended to disable dexpreopt, as disabling a failed check will result
in incorrect class loader context recorded in the .odex file, which will cause
class loader context mismatch and dexopt at first boot.

* Android.bp property: `enforce_uses_lib`
* Android.mk variable: `LOCAL_ENFORCE_USES_LIBRARIES`

I "fixed" my build by calling export RELAX_USES_LIBRARY_CHECK=true (as suggested by the error message), then mka bacon. I now put that export in my vendorsetup.sh and builds seem to work fine.

The effect of the fix is to disable the check for the whole build. A better "fix" is by changing /tools/extract_utils.sh to add the line LOCAL_ENFORCE_USES_LIBRARIES := false to each module in Android.mk.

I thought about trying to make some changes in my extendrom fork, but decided that I'm not a shell programmer, and I chose to get on with making builds using the workaround

I'm using this project to make customised builds ofLineageOS for MicroG.

L4M includes F-Droid, and their own additional_repos.xml module, containing only the Microg repos. I would like to be able to replace their module, with the 'split repos' version from here. I think that can be done by writing a LOCAL_OVERRIDES_PACKAGES line in F_WRITE_MAKEFILE_FDROID()

Extendrom tries to run even if disabled

I have this in my device.mk:

ENABLE_EXTENDROM := false
EXTENDROM_PREROOT_BOOT := false

However it's still trying to install magisk:

[ 99% 349/352] Target boot image: out/target/product/dre/boot.img
++++  Add hash footer to BOOT image  ++++
[ 99% 350/352] Package target files: out/target/product/dre/obj/PACKAGING/target_files_intermediates/lineage_dre-tar

`get_prebuilts.sh` doesn't handle hyphen characters in the apk file name

Try to get the latest MicroG GmsCore apk for the MicroG F-Droid repo https://microg.org/fdroid/repo/com.google.android.gms-204714034.apk
The relevamt line in packages.txt

com.google.android.gms204714034.apk|https://microg.org/fdroid/repo|priv-app|GmsCore.apk;PRESIGNED|true

This ends up in vendor/extendrom/prebuilts as 204714034.apk and appears to be corrupt :)

AdAway requires signed key?

I assume this is a bug, because it is the only package with user-keys/shared instead of PRESIGNED and nothing about that is mentioned in https://github.com/sfX-android/android_vendor_extendrom/wiki/EXTENDROM_PACKAGES
