Question [Custom AOSP] Installing Pixel 6

[Palinamarne]

Hello all,

Im newbie in the site and also in Android AOSP.

I would like to know if is possible:

I have a AOSP X86 Emulator and I made some changes in HAL . So I desire to test in a Pixel 6 . i believe that I need to install the custom ROM.

Some Steps that I identified.
1- Convert my X86_64 AOSP Android 12 Custom ROM => ARM.
2- De-activate BootLoader .
3- Flash my Pixel 6.

Would you help me if these steps are correct?

I have no idea where to start. Any suggestion to tacke the task is well apreciated.

Thanks a lot

Convert? I'm not sure that is the right word here, though I know it can be done if you have the source code. In essence you would be compiling with ARM as the target processor instead of x64. From there your steps are essentially correct, though I would take steps to ensure you can recover from a problem prior to unlocking the bootloader and flashing the ROM.

Thanks a lot for your reply!. Sorry to bother again.

In my case I did some changes in HAL AOSP Master X86_64 and I've tested in Cuttlefish Emulator (aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-userdebug).

If I didn't misunderstand, what you suggest firstly is to compile, Im a little confused in which I have to use:
lunch:
1-armv8-eng
2-aosp_arm64-eng
3-aosp_cf_arm64_phone-userdebug
4-aosp_oriole-userdebug ->( I guess this one).

and then continue with the steps detailed above.


Many Thanks for your help!

@Palinamarne And I wouldn't be able to tell you which one to use. My days of tinkering that deeply beneath the hood of Android are long since behind me.

@Strephon Alkhalikoi No problem! I'll play around a bit and put the details here. Thank you very much for your help.

Were you able to run this custom aosp build in an emulator?
