divestos-build VS treble_experimentations

DivestOS is my project.

Here are the nearly 200 kernel CVE patches applied on top of what Lineage provides for Pixel 2 series: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/mas...

Plus it just provides updates quicker, such as the recent WebP CVE was first fixed in DivestOS before other aftermarket systems. https://divestos.org/pages/news

And provides rapid out-of-band WebView updates: https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt

See my other notes here: https://divestos.org/pages/patch_levels#osSecurity

And also this independent table: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

See my issue at https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/issues/18.

I'm pretty sure my DivestOS is far more free than Lineage and still completely usable: - https://divestos.org/pages/network_connections - https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/Common/Deblob.sh

hammerhead died on 15.1 because no one could get Bluetooth to reliably work on later versions.

The support is in the form of all the features, the (system) updates, and kernel patches like this: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/mas...

Developer told me how to add it back, but you will need to change the code a little and compile it (https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/issues/18)

eg. https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/LineageOS-18.1/CVE_Patchers/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8996.sh

In the case of taimen/walleye, besides the base system hardening, there are over ~70 additional CVE patches to the kernel: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/LineageOS-19.1/CVE_Patchers/android_kernel_google_wahoo.sh

I've had another report of this and I've reverted what is likely the cause, new builds will be up in a few hours. https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/commit/dc392b17b6d5661246c98277809475a74565ad3a

This is already fixed, pending the next builds: https://divestos.org/index.php?page=news-future https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/commit/7a168302cfb14a516ec744daff31cfa11bc1d50f

Unlock and install LineageOS or one of other alternatives.

If you go to the GSI Github used in the video, the newest version available is 12.1, and this has not been yet built for a ARM-AONLY build, which is what Dylan suggested. I used the most recent ARM-AONLY build. If someone wants to try building ARM-AONLY for the newest release of GSI Android 12.1, I would love to hear their results. If someone wants to try flashing a different build like ARM64, I would be interested to hear the results of that as well.

Android 12 requires Linux 4.4 for proper networking and cgroup handling, which the Pixel 1 doesn't support. Skipping those requirements isn't a good idea.

p.s. status on this? thanks https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1...

Front screen doesn't work with GSI. After installing the Qualcomm IMS apk in the GSI's settings, it shows me a T-mo logo.

You can put a full GSI rom on the Cat S22 like I did! see

There is a reason, why phhusson is putting a lot of work into building their own GSIs even though Google releases official GSI builds. And yet, the list of issues is still long because minor things are broken on different devices.

I want to upgrade my Jelly2 to GSI 12.1. I'm okay with a potential soft-brick. Indeed, I just got this phone and haven't done anything with it yet, so if I have to re-flash it I'm fine with that.

FYI the CAT S22 works now with the Android GSI https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/2295

Or install Android AOSP from here
