Android TV x86 oreo

[Ravid Maduni]

Hi!
Is there someone who currently works on Android TV Oreo?

[Tomasz Witke]

I'm planing to get back to work on it: https://github.com/kyvaith/device_generic_atv

[Michael Goffioul]

Hi Tomasz,

I'm interested in your project. What's the easiest for me to give it a try? 

Thanks,

Mcihael.

Build it and test with VMware Player ;-)

[Michael Goffioul]

Sorry, I should have been more precise. The question was more about the integration of your manifest snippet in README.md. For the rest, I can build and test. 

Starting from android-x86/oreo-x86, should I just append the snipped into .repo/manifests/android-x86.xml, or do you recommend another way?

[Tomasz Witke]

Just include it at the very bottom, after android-x86 one.

[Mitchel Stewart]

im glad your getting back to work on your version of x86, ive been trying my hand at doing it myself, tell me have you been able to get yours to boot into the OS? mine seems to get just past the bootloader, but then for a split second it brings up the launcher select menu before nearly instantly restarting the boot loader, I cant seem to get past it, im thinking its an issue with my SEPolicy but honestly I have no idea.

Hi Tomaz,

With a fresh;y sync'ed repo (appended your manifest snippet to android_x86.xml), I'm hitting these build errors at very early stage:

bootable/newinstaller/Android.mk: error: edit_mbr (EXECUTABLES linux-x86_64) missing libdiskconfig_host (STATIC_LIBRARIES linux-x86_64) 

You can set ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true in your environment if this is intentional, but that may defer real problems until later in the build.

packages/apps/Bluetooth/tests/Android.mk: error: BluetoothProfileTests (APPS android-x86) missing com.android.emailcommon (JAVA_LIBRARIES android-x86) 

You can set ALLOW_MISSING_DEPENDENCIES=true in your environment if this is intentional, but that may defer real problems until later in the build.

build/core/main.mk:728: error: exiting from previous errors.

Few months ago (with last commit) the only problem I had was the VC1 codec (everything else worked). I wasn't able to build it now, because I'm trying to collect patches for macOS build platform. When I'll be able to build it on macOS, I'll get back to development.

[DrWank Stein]

did you remove the projects he listed? maybe try deleting his exclusions he made?

Just ignore my bottable_newinstaller changes. This is just for mute some debug output.

[Mitchel Stewart]

Have you tried to fork mine? I was pretty stable few months ago.

[Tomasz Witke]

My build was 64-bit kernel (for Houdini) and 32-bit userspace (for ATV gapps from fugu).

[Mitchel Stewart]

alright ill give it a try and see if i cant get it to compile then when it get back home,

What I opted to do was instead of exclude apps from the manifest was instead make a custom packages.mk file to exclude the irrelevant apps such as launcher and taskbar and it seems to be compiling away but whether that works or not remains to be seen

[Tomasz Witke]

If you succeed, please share a patch of pull request to my repo.

I did get it too boot, although I could not use the keyboard or mouse so I couldn't get past the setup page unfortunately, I will make a pull request soon

[Mitchel Stewart]

Nevermind I was being an idiot and didnt plug it in

[Mitchel Stewart]

Ok so it boots however I cannot get past setup corded or wireless both just simply do not connect to the internet by the looks of it,

Wireless finds no signals and wired freezes on checking for updates and when you exit that and try to login it just fails and kicks you back to the screen where it asks you if you have another android device

P.S when you click yes that fails aswell

[Michael Goffioul]

Out of curiosity, is there an actual purpose to the presence of libwvdrmengine.so in your repository?

I was able to boot into android and get past setup by going into debug mode navigating to syste,/priv-app/setupwraith and renaming it to SetupWraith.bak

however you still cannot log in to google which means no play store so far I have tested it in qemu and a laptop, youtube seems to work fine in qemu bot not on the laptop

also getting a really annoying failed to post notification on null channel error

im going to try removing gapps and and try to use fugu binaries

[Mitchel Stewart]

ALSO on my laptop HP Pavillion x360 (el cheapo stuff) it is super unstable and constantly crashing

[Michael Goffioul]

Answering myself: yes, it does. This library allows to enable Widevine/L3 support.

[Mitchel Stewart]

Is there any chance that the fact that your fork of gapps is too outdated, that could be causing the issue im having where I have to get rid of setupwraith as well as the latin input notification null faliure? as well as instability on my laptop?

[Mitchel Stewart]

I was able to get it to boot without using the packages solution after a full redownload of the AOSP though you do have to get rid of the remove projects for Email and Phone
