[AOSP 8.1] [2019-03-06] Phh-Treble

WARNING: You'll most probably loose ALL your data, and might break your phone. Please use with extreme caution!

The goal of this ROM is to provide full Treble-compatible hardware support, and nothing else.
This means that hardware which DON'T have Treble API won't be supported, like Essential's external camera.
No feature will be added. This will ease forward porting to new Android versions, which is the very goal of Project Treble

My hope is that other ROM developers will use this ROM as a basis to construct more advanced ROM.

How to know if your phone is supported:

- Does your OEM provides a stock Oreo ROM?
No ===> Your phone is not supported
- Run Treble Check on stock Oreo ROM. Does it say Treble is supported?
No ===> Your phone is not supported

If all answers are yes, then your phone MIGHT be supported.
Test it, and report the result!

Build script available at https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/blob/master/build.sh

Current status:

Over-all:

Xperia XZ1:
- Broken camera (because of Sony's DRM)

Huawei Mate 9 Pro and Honor 9:
- Fingerprint sensor should have "home" behaviour
- software keys should be disabled

Known end-user problems (WON'T BE FIXED in this ROM):
- No exfat

Known mess:
- A-only should use https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/hashtag:"non-ab-boot-gsi"+(status:open OR status:merged) instead of dm-verity hacks
- the dm-verity work-around is also needed on A/B, so other patches are missing, for some other reason
- On A/B devices, this system.img effectively transforms the device into a userdebug build. This means adb root works!
adb root should work on A-only later too, though it requires that the OEM includes https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/topic:move-adbd-to-system+(status:open+OR+status:merged)
This can probably be worked-around by moving adbd inside a /system/etc/init/xxx.rc
- ADB auth is totally disabled at the moment on A/B, this is bad, but useful for debugging.
- Huawei (for instance Mate 9) doesn't declare android.hardware.fingerprint. This ROM does it for them, but this need to be better implemented
- SuperSU and Magisk screws with SELinux policy. DO NOT USE SuperSU OR Magisk WITH THIS ROM

will this rom support oneplus5 later on?

OnePlus said they won't support Treble, so no.
You can try to complain to them, since all they do is because for good PR.

Wonderful work you're doing here! Would you mind explaining what is the A/B only versions? What do those letters mean? Are there means of reverting back from your experimental build to stock Oreo?

Well A/B is the new partitioning scheme where all firmware partition exist twice, and the bootloader switches from one to the other when updating. This is also called seamless updates.

To revert back to stock... Well flash stock?
