VIM3/VIM3L AOSP Android 14.0 Upside Down Cake

Announcements
44

Ok, installed magisk 27 app which I then ran and install magisk gapps module LiteGapps-arm64-14.0-20240223-official.zip. Btw, you can install magisk and then patch the boot.img from the link above (post #1 I believe) and then just flash the magisk patched boot.img via “fastboot flash boot path-to-your-patched-boot-img”. For me a14 booted right up.

Now for the next problem. When starting google play store app i’m constantly getting “this device isn’t play protected certifiied” which is strainge considering the vim3 is suppose to be a google certifified test board???

I installed and ran “device id app” found on play store and yes is was a bitch getting that apk installed on vim3 a14. What it showed was yes I have a android-id but NO GSFID? Any suggestions to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Wondering if you’re having any luck with wife/bluetooth problem. Also, shouldn’t there be some sort of windows mtp driver?

Btm, vim3 a14 file transfer (mtp) doesn’t work in either ubuntu 22.04 or Win 11. Doing any testing with this build would be a lot easier is it did work.

And also, thanks to everyone that help in getting a14 running!

Hi, yes today I could make Wi-Fi work – you need to change minor stuff in the kernel and in the AOSP build:

CONFIG_BCMDHD_FW_PATH="/vendor/firmware/brcm/fw_bcmdhd.bin"

to

CONFIG_BCMDHD_FW_PATH="/vendor/firmware/brcm/fw_bcm4359c0_ag.bin"

and rebuilt the kernel

  • In the AOSP source in device/amlogic/yukawa/device.mk, I changed the wifi firmware that is copied:
# BT and Wifi FW
# PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
#     yukawa_brcmfmac4359-sdio.bin \
#     yukawa_brcmfmac4359-sdio.txt \
#     yukawa_brcmfmac4359_vim3l_bin \
#     yukawa_brcmfmac4359_vim3l_txt

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
    $(LOCAL_PATH)/binaries/bt-wifi-firmware/BCM.hcd:$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/firmware/brcm/BCM4359C0.hcd \
    $(LOCAL_PATH)/binaries/bt-wifi-firmware/fw_bcm4359c0_ag.bin:$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/firmware/brcm/fw_bcm4359c0_ag.bin \
    $(LOCAL_PATH)/binaries/bt-wifi-firmware/nvram_ap6359.txt:$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/firmware/brcm/nvram.txt

Another update:
To make scrcpy work, add the following lines to device/amlogic/yukawa/manifest.xml:

    <hal format="hidl">
        <name>android.hardware.media.omx</name>
        <transport>hwbinder</transport>
        <version>1.0</version>
        <interface>
            <name>IOmx</name>
            <instance>default</instance>
        </interface>
        <interface>
            <name>IOmxStore</name>
            <instance>default</instance>
        </interface>
    </hal>

To OP
If you’re going to compile a new build, PLEASE include gapps core at the very least. The version I installed via magisk is only 72mb.

Thanks in advance!

Ps. add byline on how to register “Device ID”. I’ve been trying for 2 days now an nothing is working so far. All Device ID Changers have failed an anything I’ve tried to register via
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1 is not working.

hi

Some how my Scrcpy is not working, I followed all the build and flashing steps mentioned above i am getting the following error on running the scrcpy

scrcpy

Also, I am interested to use WiFi P2P APIs in my application. But I am getting this “onFailure(): WifiP2pManager.BUSY” any particular setting needs to be done or any changes in the build for same??

Hello, some functions of Yukawa may not be fully supported yet. We will update the firmware again in May or June.

51

Hi, have you tried adding the android.hardware.media.omx driver to device/amlogic/yukawa/manifest.xml to make scrcpy work? (see post above)

52

yep i tried by adding that, but my device did not boot up. So i figured out by connecting an HDMI monitor my scrcpy worked.

53

The latest 20240613 version update notes are as follows

54

@xiong.zhang
hello, does 20240613 version support AB partition? I use the “bootctl set-active-boot-slot 1” command to switch to partition b, but the system won’t boot.

55

I’m sorry, but this does not support AB partition.

56

do you have any plan to support AB partition?

57

Sorry, we do not plan to use AB partition for any of our firmwares, sorry.

58

is there any chance for porting Android 14 to vim4 board ?

59

Hello, we are already working on this plan and will announce it to the public soon. Please stay tuned

Hi Xiong, I am using 20240613 build and following these instructions to update a VIM3 (no L, no Pro) from latest official Android image (Android 9).

I am able to follow all steps but it seems kernel init fails with following message:
