[ROM][Android M/MPZ44O][UnnamedM - SDK port of Android M][for Multirom][29/05/2015]

[500 Internal Server Error]

Yes, I know this is in the wrong section - I didn't have 10 posts when I created this thread. Please move this to the developer section if possible.

This is a port of the Android M developer preview from the emulator SDK image to the Nexus 7 (2012).

This ROM is pretty useless. Wi-Fi doesn't work, it's insecure, and there's no point in running it unless you really want to play with some of the new features of Android M. You have been warned.

Currently, this is only tested with the Nexus 7 Wi-Fi (grouper) as a secondary ROM in MultiROM with the main partition formatted as ext4: other configurations probably won't work.

Since this is based on the emulator image from the SDK, no Gapps are included.

What doesn't work:

Wi-Fi - Unfortunately, the SDK image did not include wpa_supplicant, which is required for Wi-Fi. I tried copying it from 5.1.1, but the 5.1.1 version is compiled against OpenSSL, while Android M uses BoringSSL instead. If anyone has a solution for this, I'll really appreciate it!

Bluetooth

NFC

GPS (again, /system/bin/glgps uses OpenSSL, not BoringSSL)

Screenshot function over adb

SELinux - this port runs in permissive mode; it will not run in enforcing mode as I have not adjusted the SELinux policies

Security - this is a port from an emulator image, which is signed with test-keys; thus, a malicious application can impersonate system apps. In addition, the image is rooted, but does not have a superuser management app - all superuser requests are allowed. Please don't use this ROM if you're going to store important data on it.

adb on Ubuntu - if you're getting a "Permission denied" error while trying to use ADB with this ROM on Ubuntu, make sure to tap "USB for charging" in the notification tray and select "Transfer files". ADB will start working.

(Probably more.)

Kernel

The bundled kernel is "Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (Stock 5.1 and 5.1.1)" from MultiROM, which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403

Installation

The recommended way to install this ROM is through the MultiROM custom recovery.

First, install MultiROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403

Then, boot into recovery, and select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM

Choose the ROM, and then swipe to install.

Thanks. I was interested to test multiwindow mode and it works! Just needed to enable it in Developer settings.

how to port from sdk ?
any tutorial?

 

[TheXorg]

Possible to do the same with Nexus 4?

If there's no WPA_supplicant in the Emulator image, why arent you using the ones from N5/etc. Images?

 

[Gundabolu SC]

Awesome!!! :d :d :d :d :d

 

[davpax]

Thanks?

Wpa

Wi-Fi - Unfortunately, the SDK image did not include wpa_supplicant, which is required for Wi-Fi. I tried copying it from 5.1.1, but the 5.1.1 version is compiled against OpenSSL, while Android M uses BoringSSL instead. If anyone has a solution for this, I'll really appreciate it!

I believe if anyone is running Linux at the minute, they could compile this into the zip (\rom\system.tar.gz\etc\) and change the boot image for WiFi to work (likelihood is it wont, this is a cheap fix at its best). Please notify me of any progress.

EDIT: If anyone would care to elaborate how I could participate in making WiFi work, I would gladly be able to help, but please, give a thorough explanation

EDIT 2:

If there's no WPA_supplicant in the Emulator image, why arent you using the ones from N5/etc. Images?

Seems Possible. Could be worth a shot.

Hi first I was glad to install this Android M preview. But Wifi and bluetooth not working is a big annoyance, since I can't use Internet on the phone, even by bluetooth tethering.

Btw, I tried to install .APK files and the "App permission" feature doesn't seem to work. It installed the apps with all permissions, and never asked to approve any permission on app use.

Are you sure this is Android M? Only thing which tells this is Android M is the About screen and the Android M logo.

Did you watch Google I/O? This preview has multi-windows support.
Also, the settings reference Android M.
And last, if Bluetooth and WiFi not working is and issue, then I must assume you are using this as the main ROM, not Dual/Multi booted, completely ignoring the broken features list: we know it isn't working, and saying it isn't doesn't help development.
Apk permissions might not work as this has to be AOSP due to liscencing issues, and I'm sure that relies on Google Play Services (correct me otherwise).
Just a heads-up to any future posters: Don't install this of you are going yo use it add your Internal ROM - bugs are present and features are missing.

Can anyone who flashed this ROM kindly upload the SystemUi.apk file from system/priv-app? Thanks a lot, I need some files from it

What exactly do you need it for? Aside, can't you grab it from the official developer previews? I'm just curious, that's all, as I don't see why you don't just extract it from the actual ROM? I'd post it, but I'm not in office right now.

I need some pngs for another project, and I'd extract it myself but in Lollipop, ROMs have that stupid system.new.whatever it is so I can't take a file from the ROM file, I'd have to flash it, extract the file I need and then delete it, so it's kind of a waste of time.
EDIT: I just saw that the system is a tar.gz so I managed to extract what I needed from the ROM zip, ignore my previous request

 

[fritzcola]

Have you updated the ramdisk?

 

[DJ_FrozenDoctor]

Can you do this for the Nexus 7 2013?
