Title is self explanatory.

I wouldn't trust these "custom kernels". A lot of times these custom kernels you haven't ever heard about have security features disabled, have dangerous features enabled that affect the longevity of the device and putting malware to a kernel is really easy.

I have heard quality complains about Umidigi (sorry I don't remember where). And a lot of these small companies intentionally make it hard for any user modification. They use MTK chipsets and don't publish the kernel source code as required by the GPL.

Yes it is possible. I don't know how lg has it implemented or what phone he is using, but there are multiple users in android that you can switch. If lg doesn't have that feature it could be done with a system modification. Since this a real life trust problem I suggest that you talk to somebody...

1. Basic android knowledge, some basic android development knowledge (AlaskaLinuxUser has great guides and explanations for this, he covers everything you need. https://www.youtube.com/c/AlaskaLinuxUserAKLU ), you don't have to know a programming language, but it will be useful. Basic skills...

Keep in mind that the OP8 Pro is a high end phone and the Pixel 5 is something like a mid range flagship. You are getting a worse SoC (cpu, gpu), slower storage, less ram and storage depending on the model, slower charging, less refresh rate, etc. See...

That is not the actual error. That message is not useful.

I might be able to help. The kernel source is missing, but there are some device trees for other mt6580 phones. I will try to craft a device tree for this phone. For now i need these things: 1. The android version. 2. raw dd'ed boot image of the device 3. raw dd'ed system image of the device

kernel source?

So an AOSP kernel won't work with CAF?

Why does this ROM use the 4.4 kernel when 4.14 is available for Nile?

Just a reminder that using a ROM with permissive selinux is not a good idea. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/149854/how-dangerous-is-the-fact-that-selinux-is-in-permissive-mode-what-should-i-be

You can build even on 8GB. It will just build slower. I know a person who was able to build cm-14.1 with 4GB of RAM, but it took like a whole day to do so. It depends in what you do, but most of the times you must build it to be able to use it. Otherwise you will have to resort to tricks like...

You found that phone? If it's not yours you should find the owner instead of trying to unlock the phone. Just imagine if this happened to you. If you are doing the right thing, try to see if the owner put some of his information to the emergency information of the device. When the phone is on...

Is AVB enabled?
