I'm interested in playing around with the AOSP and I heard that the Moto G5 Plus is one of the best phones to do so. Before I buy one, I want to make sure that I can do a full AOSP build. I looked around and found a few resources. Their GitHub (MotorolaMobilityLLC) has bits an pieces of components that would be in the AOSP, but not a comprehensive repo for a device. My questions are:
1) Is it possible to get a full AOSP build from *official* sources for this phone?
2) If so, do I just download the AOSP and patch together the components from their GitHub until I get a working build?
Thanks!

No... You are misinformed, there is no official build of AOSP or source code available, just kernel source like many devices. This is not a developer device and Moto does not treat it as one. Even stock factory images are difficult to get at times. That said, the device is very "basic" and has few things added on top of AOSP code, it is very close to "pure".
That said, there are lots of ROM options that are unofficial, both pre-built and as source code you can build yourself.

I don't now if you know the unlegacy android project , it's a PURE AOSP experience, nothing extra "not required" options. I used it on my samsung nexus (replaced by the G5+) and on my nexus 7 '12 ( it runs very smooth), different devices are supported. I find it fantastic, stable and light (my nexus7 flies and it is an old device).
It will be a great rom for our potter.

Thank you for the info! I'll check out a different device.

TBH... About the only choices that fit your requirements are Google Pixel or OnePlus, at 3+ times the price. Your call and good luck.

You're skipping a lot here, that's not how AOSP works... "For this phone" means it's already code that's been worked on by other developers, a distribution of Android (and not AOS itself). The only "official" Android source for this phone would be Motorola's stock distribution, all the others would be third-party like Lineage...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_custom_Android_distributions
If you want to start your own distribution for the G5 Plus, that's a much bigger problem to solve and countless hours of work, but I suspect if you really knew about this you wouldn't have asked the question to begin with
I have for a long time wanted a Android TV.
But those are expensive. So I still have my good old flat screen upgraded whit a chromcast 2.
BUT I WANT MORE!!! And i came across a project here on xda (details to come).
A ported Android TV ROM to a pi 3 B.
The problem is that I have a pi 3 B+.
There for I won't work.
Also... I want some extra features like twrp recovery and root.
I have tryed to swap files, flash files, extract files, making searches on google. And nothing.
All I know is that the system is a Sony elf system and even that did not help my just a tiny bit.
So my question is how do I get "under the hood" of this ROM that I want to mod?
pi 3 b+ and pi 3b kernels are different so you must compile a new rom with pi 3 b+ source code and android tv source code
That was kinda the plan.
I am working on building a new ROM at the time but I have no idea of what I am doing.
Hi all,
I have a Firefly ROC-RK3399-PC (also called "Renegade Elite") dev board that I desperately want to turn into an Android TV 10 box. Firefly has a great how to on how to compile the stock Android 10: [Compile Android 10](http://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/ROC-RK3399-PC-PLUS/compile_android10.0_firmware.html), but not how to compile Android TV 10! Does Android TV require a special build option? A different repo source? Is it just a series of apps that have to be installed on top of the stock Android?
After googling my guts out for months I still have no clue.
I will be eternally grateful if anyone can explain how to compile Android TV 10 from source!
Thanks in advance!
-Dan
I don't know if it's helpful https://www.96boards.org/projects/AOSPTVHikey/
You can compile it from the AOSP source using lunch. However, Android TV will be basically useless without Gapps.
Been wanting to tinker with this, wondering if anyone has tried yet, if so could you point me in the right direction as Google, and duck duck haven't yielded any results.

Yes it can be unlocked with the standard bootloader unlocking instructions for pixels. We are working on LineageOS for it, currently the repos have already been forked to the primary organization. We are just doing the finishing touches to it before it will go official.

To expand on this there are a few devices that are very similar so they share the common device tree. Google ADT-3 (Deadpool) and Dynalink TV box (Wade) are using the same board. Onn box is a variant of the board used on those with a few features and hardware removed to cut cost presumably. Everything is sharing a common kernel because amlogic has a unified kernel that supports all their soc's.
Unified kernel means this can be easily ported to s912?
Thanks for the info. Will that allow root, and backup using twrp? Software is part of equation, I'm working on a hardware piece to allow more storage, but I have to wait on the more savvy software guys like you to cover the ends I can't. You guys rock!!

Hey folks - I've installed Lineage OS "dopinder" for the Walmart Onn Android TV device. Can't run Netflix on it. Ultimately I want YouTube without ads.
Looks like I will need to run Magisk on this thing.
Can anybody help me run Magisk on the standard OS? It would be nice to have Netflix and also to be able to install some kind of ad-free YouTube. Has anybody done this yet? Anybody working on it?
I'm a noob to all this but if anybody would like to help me, I would love to try and get Magisk working.
For starters, does anybody know where I can get the stock/factory image? I erased mine when I installed Lineage OS on the Onn Android TV UHD device.
Do I need the stock recovery, too?

No need for rooting or flashing a new ROM. You can easily have ad-free youtube with Smart Tube Next. All you *should* need is the SmartTubeNext apk from github, a USB OTG cable with power, a USB stick, and a file explorer from the play store. Navigate to the USB stick and install the apk. Allow sideloading when it asks you. Log in and enjoy. Netflix should be available on the stock ROM.
This is all assuming the USB port on the ONN is OTG capable, which most streaming sticks have.
Hello, do your devices has parental control settings? My 4k box no
Does this work for the onn tv stick?

From my understanding the stick version (for $25) is not OTG capable. The box though (for $30) is OTG capable as I have checked it out myself. You have to use a FAT32 filesystem though otherwise the OS won't read the drive.
it’s now $20 at Walmart. Best value for sure
I'm looking for the universal remote codes for the uhd 4k box.........anyone have those? Thanks.
Does Netflix and Amazon prime still remain fully functional with lineage os or no?
Is there a specific section/thread for developement for this box on here? I just picked one up seems pretty sweet for 20 bucks!

also I’m not seeing prime video in the google play store? Is that something that needs to be sideloaded this device???

For prime video you can sideload the apk. If you want to see development there’s a lineageOS build in the Google tv section

Development is pretty good on this thread: [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices. It can get a little confusing due to the mixture of several devices, so you should read pretty much the whole thing.
I'm sticking with rooted stock on the 1st of 2 that I got until Lineage gets a bit more refined. Many thanks/kudos to those in that thread for all they have done and are still working on.
Second one is still pure stock OOB (never setup or connected to the Internet) that I am just experimenting with prior to actually flashing/modifying anything. It is still bootloader locked, yet I can still boot the Lineage recovery (odd). Actually flashing it w/o unlocking is doubtful, but still remains to be seen until I decide to bust it's cherry
Time permitting, I'll post some Onn Walmart (aka dopinder) specific things here if anyone gets lost over there. Just ask.
Happy trails...
Hey folks,
I've an old banana pi m2 berry which is working with armbian.
I just found an Tutorial to install Android TV on an Raspberry via LineAgeOS.
I tried LineAgeOS but it seems to won't work on my Banana Pi.
Any fast solution? Also would be fine to switch the OS of my Device again. Just want this for streaming etc on my TV.
I'm not an expert, but my guess is it's unlikely as Android TV is a modified version of Android, and Android is a long ways away from its original source of Linux. The reason Konstakang used Lineage is likely because it's based on android.
Maybe I find some other android Version which works on my device, thanks for the hint.
