为 Pixel 3 构建自定义内核的 Android 11

Posted on Edited on
最近的项目需要在 Android 平台上实验，于是在新的测试机 (📱Pixel 3) 上折腾了一番

My Environment

OS: Debian 11

Mobile Device: Google Pixel 3

AOSP Tag: android-11.0.0_r1

AOSP Build ID: RP1A.200720.009

Prepare Building Environment

Make sure you have installed adb and fastboot, if not

Download from Google (recommended!!)

or

sudo apt install android-tools-adb
sudo apt install android-tools-fastboot

Install some tools

1
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 libncurses5-dev lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip fontconfig

Install repo

mkdir ~/.bin
export PATH=~/.bin:$PATH

ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Build Kernel

Get the source code, it will take about 30GB of disk space after building.

mkdir kernel && cd kernel
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/manifest -b android-msm-crosshatch-4.9-android11-qpr2
repo sync

cd prebuilts
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/prebuilts/build-tools
mv build-tools kernel-build-tools
export PATH=${WORK_DIR}/kernel/prebuilts/kernel-build-tools/linux-x86/bin:$PATH
If you want kernel can work on android-11.0.0_r1, checkout msm to commit 5bded8e40b62. You can get this commit id in ${WORK_DIR}/android11/device/google/crosshatch-kernel/Image.lz4 after downloading the Android source.

cd ${WORK_DIR}/kernel/private/msm-google
git checkout 5bded8e40b62

cd ${WORK_DIR}/kernel

Build Android

Get the source, it will take about 200GB of disk space after building.

mkdir android11 && cd android11

wget https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/google_devices-blueline-rp1a.200720.009-6cd41940.tgz
wget https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/qcom-blueline-rp1a.200720.009-f772c38c.tgz
tar -xf google_devices-blueline-rp1a.200720.009-6cd41940.tgz && tar -xf qcom-blueline-rp1a.200720.009-f772c38c.tgz
./extract-google_devices-blueline.sh && ./extract-qcom-blueline.sh
Compile with our new kernel, it costs 2 hours on my i5-10600KF.

cp ${WORK_DIR}/kernel/out/android-msm-pixel-4.9/dist/Image.lz4 ${WORK_DIR}/android11/device/google/crosshatch-kernel/Image.lz4
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_blueline-userdebug
make -j12

Flash Device

After getting the building output, let's flash them to the device. Since $ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT will be set automatically, we can just use command flashall. If not, set it to ${WORK_DIR}/android11/out/target/product/blueline. 

1
2
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashall -w

Update Drivers

Actually now your device can work well via adb. But due to driver mismatching, you may not be able to use the touchscreen, wlan etc. To fix this problem 

1
2
3
adb root
adb remount -R
adb push ${WORK_DIR}/kernel/out/android-msm-pixel-4.9/dist/*.ko /vendor/lib/modules/
Then reboot. Everything should works now.
