willing to contribute

[dk1978]

Hi,
I have a Fairphone 3 myself and am willing to contribute to a LineageOS built - and continue with Halium and UBports later. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Hi dk,
I'd appreciate any help.
Please feel free to start with my config and get things running. At the moment we're quite at the beginning. However we can try to go step by step and get the things running 😄
Also I don't have any contact to the LOS developers. Maybe we could also contact them to get some help from them as well.
BR,
Max

Hi Max,

I am writing my reply here again, because my first reply through direct email probably ended nowhere. Thanks for the feedback. I have forked your device repo.

My first suggestion: on mstaz/android_device_fairphone_fp3 create a branch "lineage-16.0" and make it default. This is what the repo and build scripts seem to expect.

I have created some XML code that goes into .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml and should allow any newcomers a clean "repo sync" command. I will document the full procedure on my fork's README.md later today.

Right now I am looking at some strange warnings that occurred while configuring the kernel. The build warnings go something like this:
rivers/input/touchscreen/hxchipset83112b/Kconfig:5:warning: ignoring unsupported character
It turns out that the kernel sub-folder drivers/input/touchscreen/hxchipset83112b contains a lot of weird .i files, and it looks like the directory content was pulled off an NTFS or FAT* filesystem by either Arima or Fairphone. The DOS line endings in the Kconfig files are what triggers the warnings. I am considering a clean-up of this directory to eliminate the warnings.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel, Great to hear. Yes, I definitely should work with clean branches :) Regarding the errors you can also check the additional changes from k4y0z and z3ntu. Maybe they already fixed these. I'll check for that tomorrow. BR, Max Am 4. März 2020 16:00:58 MEZ schrieb dk1978 <notifications@github.com>:

Hi Daniel, Great that you participate porting LOS. These errors should not happen. I try to check for it tomorrow. Yes, sure. A group chat would be nice. Maybe there are also "official" LOS channels available we could use. BR, Max Am 4. März 2020 22:58:22 MEZ schrieb Daniel6801 <notifications@github.com>:

The compile runs without error now with the latest changes and with stock firmware 110. Thank's a lot!

It took me some time to find out how to extract the downloaded firmware dump which did not contain the *.img files. Just some hint's how to extract these *.br and *.dat files: (@mstaz, dk1978: maybe this could be added into the README.md?):

The *.br files can be extracted with brotli.

On Linux (debian) install brotli via (I assume similar tools exists for MS-Windows):
sudo apt-get install brotli
Extract *.br files with:
brotli -d *.br

Afterwards the *.dat files can be converted into the *.img files with the "Extraction and repack tool":
git clone https://github.com/iykequame/android_system_extraction_and_repack_tool.git

Extract with python script sdat2img.py:
./tools/sdat2img.py system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img
./tools/sdat2img.py vendor.transfer.list vendor.new.dat vendor.img
./tools/sdat2img.py product.transfer.list product.new.dat product.img

[mstaz]

Yes, needs to be extracted with brotli first. I'll add your description to the readme.
LOS already comes with the sdat2img tool. It should be here: vendor/lineage/build/tools/sdat2img.py
