Hi guys, I recently found that Sony officially supports AOSP build on some devices.
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/#overview-content
However, I have some questions. Does AOSP mean "stock android"? I.e. what the Google Pixel devices are using?
As sony's own ROM does not differ much from the stock android, I really want to try it.
Has anyone succeeded the AOSP Android 13 on XQ-BC52?

AOSP means AOSP, Android in it's purest form, without google apps by default
Pixel Android is a form of stock android but stock just means official fw.
AOSP is even less feature packed, it's the bare bones android experience mainly for developers/OEM, but it's then derived into custom ROMS with other features on top of that AOSP

Thank you! Now I understand it
Is it possible to build an AOSP rom for XQ-BC62?

Short answer: No

Technically there is no reason why not Android is open source and you could freely fork the code and start building your own modified version and then distribute as you see fit.
This is after all what the likes of Cyanogen Mod do, but at the end of the day you would still have to work off a current version and mod to your needs.

So, what you mean is that all ROMs actually are android version, right?
Then what does an android version exactly mean?
Does it define a unique -
ROM +kernel
ROM
Kernel
ROM +kernel + extra innovation
???

Yes, all ROMs which are released are based on Android Open Source Project's (AOSP) source. Initially Google have to release the source (Latest is Android 4.2) and then manufactures like Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG etc. works on their own to provide the updated Android version to their phones skinned with their proprietory UI's or themes.
Android version exactly means changes in features added by Google itself, which are incorporated by Manufactures when they push updates to their phones.
ROM is actually the term used for your Operating System. Kernel is complete different subject related to ROMs, it works as the medium of communication between your hardware and the operating System thus involving drivers and CPU controls.
This is something I've always wanted for my G3, a vanilla ROM that's always up to date with the latest Android version, but without any "extras" and "features" seen in typical ROMs. I don't like having to deal with frequent ROM updates that add new features/create new problems. I just want a clean ROM that works like a Nexus device.
Why does this not exist?
(If it already exists I have not come across it yet)

When you say vanilla I'm assuming you mean AOSP, in that case we do have cm12.1, but I don't know if that's what you mean when it comes to "frequent ROM updates"
But if you're asking as to why we don't have a stock 5.1 ROM, that would be because LG hasn't released a base for it yet

CM is not aosp based, it's cm based.
Yes, the argument could be made that everything starts with aosp, but AFAIK there is little true aosp left in cm, and mostly custom cm code.
As for the op,
You get what devs decide to build. Your question is borderline offensive.

Well, you could always start a stock rom, root it, and use Titanium Backup to remove any feature you don't want and arrive to a "vanilla ROM". The ROM development is a hobby for the dev, so of course there are "frequent ROM updates". By the way, LG has not released the 5.1 yet, they are still on 5.0.1 (23c).

Been using validus for days. Works great. No freezes. Don't use the features if you don't want em.
Hey folks!
I was wondering, how much of an ordeal is it to make a barebones stock Android ROM for a device? For instance, I have Xiaomi Black Shark 3, and am super not in love with the JoyUI rom. Would it be something that could reasonably be commissioned, to have a stock Android ROM put together? Is that even possible?
Thanks ahead of time!
@SwingBlade
So-called Stock ROM is the Android OS what OEMs/Carriers pre-install on their devices. Each Stock ROM is tailored to device's hardware capabilities/features, means a Stock ROM always relates to a specific brand/model. The base for all Stock ROMs is AOSP ( maintained by Google ).

Yeah I had a feeling I might not have been the most accurate on my verbiage, but that is just a consequence of not being as entrenched as I used to be.
With all of that in mind though, how much of an ask is the process of 'tailoring' AOSP to a specific device?
I was planning to buy this amazing device but i'm a little bit worried about the long term usage(atleast 2years) because of MIUI and Deminsity 1000+ .. so is there any chance of getting custom roms and gcam stable port? Because Redmi Note 8Pro is also on mediatek chipset but it has a lot of gcam port and custom rom support.
This is a phone made for China, I don't think there will be alot of custom roms. And I don't think there will be a gcam as well.
A Custom ROM basically doesn't depend on Android device's chipset.
The general approach to finding one is Googling for "YOUR_PHONE_MODEL ROM" or something similar, optionally including the wanted Android version. Try it out - you'll find what you want.
I will build rom for this line. There are international languages.

Very happy to see this and will be following eagerly @vandieutot . I really like my phone but the software is a big let down. Too many issues and workarounds required to get it working properly.
In preparation for this, could you tell me what will be required?
I currently have the K30 Ultra but its still standard phone. No root or anything else as yet.
Cheers. S'n'D

Hi,
Planning to get this phone too... But no french language is kind of a draw back.
I do not build anymore (no time) but I can offer a build server in case you need something to build rather fast.
If you need it, send me a PM.
Regards.

If your rom safe to flash(no brick) im ready to help in testing.
If you can make a custom rom, that would be wonderful. Many k30u owners in China want it. There is a guy that made an Aosp rom for it, but he can't fix the bugs（fingerprint bluetooth）so if you can just help us, that would be great!

Hi everybody.
I was given a professionnal Galaxy S21 phone.
On the LineageOS wiki i can't find this device.
I also looked at /e/ but for no better results.
Is there still a way to have a free OS on this phone ?
How do you mean free OS? do you just mean a custom rom that's free? Then I could help.

And if you mean that you can just install GSI roms on your phone because your phone supports project treble
Here's a android 12 beta GSI ROM:
Download Android 12 Beta 3.1 GSI (Generic System Image)
Finally, the Android 12 Beta 3.1 goes live for the eligible Pixel devices after the release of beta 3 on the Google I/O 2021 Developer Conference event in
www.getdroidtips.com
1 thing YOU DON'T INSTALL IT LIKE A CUSTOM ROM! OTHERWISE IT ISN'T GOING TO WORK OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL A GSI ROM BECAUSE IT'S A GSI ROM
And then it's perfectly okay

I don't know if your kernel is in here
Here's also a nice custom rom where you can customize almost everything
The different maps are for the different kernels so click on your kernel

You could find many more custom roms but these were just the biggest custom roms that are supported for your device
if you want to find other ones you could maybe look around on this website
15 Best Custom ROMs for Android You Can Install
Looking for the best Android custom ROMs based on Android 10, 11, 12, or 13? Here are 15 best custom ROMs for Android you can use in 2023.
beebom.com
But you could also just search "Best custom roms" or "Best GSI roms" on google
and check if they are supported with your device (Gsi ROMS are always supported because you have project treble)
I hope this helped you!
Thanks.
I'm not sure that I understand everything though...
Free as in Free Software, so I was mostly thinking of LineageOS (since I guess Replicant isn't an option on this model), but I'm open to other propositions (as long as there's no proprietary code in them of course).
