[DISCONTINUED][GSI][11] LineageOS 18.x GSI (all archs)

Should I build *B with EXT4 share duplicate blocks?

  • Yes - my /system is small, I need every bit of space saving to make it fit

Background:
This is a natural continuation/extension of the LineageOS 17.x GSIs I've been making since November 2019.
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review.

Disclaimer:
This is still mostly a LineageOS team / PHH @phhusson effort, credits to them and all associated for making all this possible.
No flashing instructions will be offered. If you're here in this forum, you should know what you're doing.
No guarantees that everything would work. This is a GSI, bugs are bound to happen.

Vanilla except for these changes:
  • Modifications needed to make it build/boot/feature-complete
  • Revived navbar layout tuning via sysui_nav_bar tunable
  • Disabled "vendor mismatch" warning on boot
  • Signature spoofing support from MicroG
  • Default stretch-to-fullscreen (force apps to render in longer than 16:9)

Stuff on GitHub (builders-only):
Since builders' stuff aren't really interesting to end users, I decided not to separately document the modifications needed in this post; instead just check out the scripts/patches, where most things should be self-explanatory: lineage_build_unified, lineage_patches_unified (where patches_treble_phh contains PHH's treble_patches adjusted for LOS). Not the cleanest code, but should help if you need some clues.

Couple of things to note:
  • I now have a rather taxing day job, and can't devote nearly as much time/effort into this as I did as a student.
  • As always, you are strongly advised to try PHH's AOSP first and identify/report issues there, before moving onto other GSIs that are based on his work. Please report bugs here only if it's specific to this GSI.
  • Thanks to patches from @eremitein , Magisk compatibility is partially restored. For devices that still don't play well with it (e.g. kernel restrictions implemented by OEM), use PHH-SU instead. Install the app and you'll get root for apps.
  • A-only and VNDKLite targets are now generated from AB images instead of built from source, see sas-creator. Kinda hacky and might be buggy. Move on to an AB device if you can.
  • To mount /system RW on AB devices, refer to this.
  • exfat SD cards still don't seem to work. Any help related to this would be appreciated.

Dear AndyYan. Thank you very much for all your work on these Roms. Do you think that I can flash the latest BitGapps R19 which was available a few weeks ago on the BitGapps website ?

Arm64 avS can't flash the beta versions of GApps and NikGApps, otherwise, constantly restart to TWRP.
Test again, it should be GApps problem, SD821 vndk27 Aonly everything is fine. Thank you.

The ROM bootlooped on Moto E6, though this is a very new ROM so I think I'll revert back to your LOS 17.1 ROM until things are a bit more ironed out.

I think this is the only Android 11 GSI so we all greatly appreciate your work. We're rooting for you

'just a report, tried it on oldies J730G booted fine wifi works, sim works, unable to play medias, reboots by itself about every 10mins or so, very snappy though. Thanks. Off to flashing another one, I'm developing a bad habit, just because I can doesn't mean I should :)

Successfully installed the a/b-GSI from 2020-12-19 on Xiaomi MI 10T lite (gauguin) via fastbootd (necessary to handle dynamic partitions!).
Camera quality is awefull (;-) ) but the rest i tested so far looks promissing (WiFi works, Fingerprint works ... well see what make problems ;-) ).

Well done guys!!!
Cheers Kurt

Installed it successfuly on my Honor 9 (A/B). Almost everything works. Except:
- SD-Card don't work (as mentioned)
- Can't flash gapps, because of missing twrp for my device

Thanks. I now using phhusson gsi. With gapps.
Perhaps it is easier to mount r/w with a vndklite Version.

Does anybody know, if it possible to switch between this rom and phhusson rom, without loose data?
Already tested between caosR and los18, just wipe system, cache and dalvik/art via twrp , flash new system img (+gapps if existed before), and reboot.

    Initial builds are based on PHH v300.j and December security patches.
    Building-related bits have been published, but only for AB targets - I'm not sure if I want to integrate sas-creator yet.

    Updated all variants with March security patches and in sync with PHH v302. [Insert obligatory backup-and-test warning here]

    Two years of GSIs. Life is trying to rob me of this "hobby" - I'll keep this going as long as I can handle it.

    March patch is ready, but due to lack of time, I'll have to postpone this month's update for a while. I worked on it yesterday but couldn't figure out a core problem in time.
