IchthysOS — Changelog

Everything this ROM changes on top of a stock Android 17 (Baklava) AOSP build for Cuttlefish (aosp_cf_x86_64_phone), including the crDroid + LineageOS feature stack being ported on top of AOSP. This file is maintained by hand as features land.

Legend: ✅ working & verified · 🟡 partial / caveats · 🔧 built but not yet verified on-device · ⛔ not yet implemented / blocked

1. Foundation & infrastructure

  • lineage-sdk forward-ported to A17 (lineage-sdk/): org.lineageos.platform framework shared library (installed to /system_ext/framework + shared-lib permissions XML), .internal, -res, LineageSettingsProvider, LineagePreferenceLib. Stripped the 3 hardware HALs (livedisplay/touch/health) and the SPN telephony lib (dead on Cuttlefish/GSI). A few A16→A17 API-break fixes (LockPatternUtils get/setBoolean, DevicePolicyManager requireSecureKeyguard(), 3 removed-constant inlines in the settings DB migrations). ✅
  • crDroidSettings merged into the AOSP Settings app (packages/apps/Settings/crDroidSettings/): compiled into Settings-core (its 113 sources use com.android.settings.R + Settings base classes), linked against org.lineageos.platform + LineagePreferenceLib. ✅
  • ~155 custom Settings.System/Secure/Global keys added to frameworks/base/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java as @hide @SuppressLint(...) constants (values taken from crDroid's fork; kept out of the public API surface). ✅
  • 4 LineageSettings keys added to lineage-sdk LineageSettings.java (with validators). ✅
  • SystemUI ↔ lineage-sdk link (packages/SystemUI/Android.bp + manifest <uses-library> + provides_uses_lib): SystemUI can now read LineageSettings. ✅
  • TunerService prefix system (packages/SystemUI/.../tuner/TunerServiceImpl.java): tunables can observe any settings table via key prefixes system: / secure: / global: / lineagesystem: / lineagesecure: / lineageglobal: (no prefix = Secure, preserving stock behavior). Added TunerService.parseInteger(). This is the enabler used by most SystemUI feature backends. ✅
  • crDroid framework helpers placed in frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/util/crdroid/ (ThemeUtils, Utils, OmniJawsClient, cutout/CutoutFullscreenController). Utils.restartSystemUI() reimplemented via ActivityManager.forceStopPackage("com.android.systemui"). ✅
  • Core-res additions (core/res/res/values/config.xml + symbols.xml): config_pocketModeSupported, config_notificationsBatteryReallyFullARGB, config_dozePulseProximity, config_dozePulseTilt, config_deviceHaveWakeUpProximity. ✅
  • AbsSeekBar.updateTouchProgress() hook (core/java/android/widget/AbsSeekBar.java) — identity default, for crDroid's BacklightTimeoutSeekBar. ✅
  • Product packaging (device/google/cuttlefish/shared/phone/device_vendor.mk): adds CustomOptions, org.lineageos.platform(+xml), LineageSettingsProvider. ✅

2. crDroidSettings app

  • Homepage entry ("IchthysOS" tile, top of the Personalize section) wired into top_level_settings_expressive.xml + _expressive_desktop.xml (A17 loads the expressive homepage variants) and registered in SettingsGateway.ENTRY_FRAGMENTS. Opens the full tabbed crDroid UI (Status bar / Quick settings / Lock screen / …). ✅

2b. crDroidSettings bug fixes

  • Fixed the Lock screen / Buttons / right-hand tab crash (InflateException on ButtonBacklightBrightness). The tabbed UI's ViewPager2 (offscreenPageLimit = 1) preloads the adjacent Buttons tab, whose ButtonBacklightBrightness preference reads org.lineageos.platform.internal.R.* resources. The lineage-sdk resource package (id 0x3f, /system_ext/framework/org.lineageos.platform-res.apk) isn't attached to the Settings app's runtime AssetManager, so those reads threw Resources$NotFoundException and crashed the tab (and, via preload, the adjacent Lock screen tab). Added resilient DeviceUtils.getLineageInteger/Boolean/ Float(context, resId, default) helpers and routed all 16 lineage-internal-R reads (DeviceUtils, ButtonBacklightBrightness, Buttons, Notifications) through them, falling back to lineage-sdk's own config.xml defaults (correct on Cuttlefish, which has no hardware keys / button backlight / LED). ✅ verified: Lock screen and Buttons tabs open cleanly.
  • Confirmed the battery-percent toggle works (was reported "broken"): setting status_bar_show_battery_percent = 1 renders the percentage inside the status-bar battery. It was simply at the default value 0 (hidden); no backend bug. ✅

3. Branding

  • ROM name: IchthysOS. Build props (device/.../device_vendor.mk): ro.ichthys.version / ro.modversion = IchthysOS-1.0, and BUILD_DISPLAY_ID (the build number in Settings > About phone) prefixed with IchthysOS-1.0. The crDroidSettings homepage tile is titled IchthysOS. 🔧 (props need a full image rebuild; the tile needs a Settings rebuild to appear).
  • Boot animation (device/.../phone/bootanimation.zip): custom IchthysOS animation, restructured into three parts around the true seamless loop so the fish spins for the entire boot and the IchthysOS logo plays exactly once at the end. Frame-diff analysis found the spin has an exact 29-frame period (frame 30 == frame 1), so desc.txt = 680 680 24 / p 0 0 part0 (frames 1–29, the seamless spin loop) / c 1 0 part1 (frames 30–71, transition out of the spin) / c 1 0 part2 (frames 72–100, morph → ICHTHYS → "IchthysOS"). Both closing parts are c (play-to-completion) so they survive the boot-complete signal. ✅ verified via live bootanim preview. Preview any time: setprop service.bootanim.exit 0; setprop ctl.start bootanim (fish loops) then setprop service.bootanim.exit 1 (plays the spin-down + logo finale).

4. System-wide defaults

  • 24-hour time is the ROM default (core/java/android/text/format/DateFormat.java) unless the user explicitly chose 12h. ✅
  • Status bar clock shows seconds by default (SystemUI Clock + crDroidSettings pref default). ✅

5. Status bar

  • Clock customizations (packages/SystemUI/.../statusbar/policy/Clock.java): seconds, AM/PM style, date (display / style / position / format), period separator (:→.), bold. Added an isStatusBar view attr so date/period apply only to the real status bar clock, not the reused QS-header clock. ✅
  • Double-tap status bar to sleep (.../statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBarView.java): observes a double-tap on the whole status bar (LineageSettings-gated, default on) without consuming the event, so swipe-to-expand still works. ✅
  • Extra status bar padding (start / top / end, live-updating) — PhoneStatusBarView. ✅
  • Battery percent (Compose UnifiedBattery via BatteryRepository/BatteryViewModel): hidden / inside; "next-to-icon" mode maps to "inside" (A17's Compose battery has no next-to layout). Falls back to the AOSP SHOW_BATTERY_PERCENT setting when unset. ✅🟡
  • Battery style (Compose battery): portrait (default) + text-only (verified: text style replaces the icon with the percent number). ✅🟡 — circle / dotted-circle are not implemented (the unified battery is a single rounded-rect path; a real circle needs new drawables). Those values fall back to portrait.
  • Notification count badge on status bar notification icons — StatusBarIconView.java. 🔧 (applies after icons are recreated; only for apps that still set Notification.number).
  • Colored status bar icons (app/notification color instead of monochrome) — StatusBarIconView.java. 🔧 (applies after icons are recreated).
  • Clock position (left / center / right) via status_bar_clock — ✅ verified: all three positions move the status-bar clock correctly (added center + right Clock views to status_bar.xml, wired in StatusBarRoot.setUpClockPositions).
  • Battery bar (statusbar/BatteryBarView.java): a thin, full-width bar along the bottom edge of the status bar whose length tracks the battery level. Added to PhoneStatusBarView (a FrameLayout) in StatusBarRoot.addCrDroidStatusBarViews, clear of the Compose start/end-side overlays. Backs all 10 statusbar_battery_bar* settings (enable, thickness, style regular/center-mirrored/reversed, color blend + reverse, normal/low/charging colors, charging-color toggle, animate). Self-observes via TunerService (system:) + an ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED receiver. ✅ verified: renders full-width along the status-bar bottom edge, width tracks the level, charging color applied. Key finding: the A17 status bar is a real PhoneStatusBarView (FrameLayout) hosted via Compose AndroidView — only the start/end icon areas get Compose overlays — so a full-width bottom-edge bar renders fine. This unblocks the "new view" status-bar category previously thought blocked.

5b. Lock screen & vibration

  • Lock screen (crdroid_settings_lockscreen): double-tap-to-sleep, battery info in the keyguard indication text, power menu on a secure lock screen (gated in PhoneWindowManager), and a fingerprint/face unlock ripple toggle. 🔧 built (SystemUI + services), needs the image to run.
  • Status bar clock position (left / center / right) via status_bar_clock — added center + right clock views. 🔧
  • Global "Disable all vibration" (IchthysOS): a master toggle under Sound settings that drops every vibration (haptics, ringtone, notification, alarm, system) at VibrationSettings in system_server. 🔧

6. Recents

  • Selectable recents implementation (recents/RecentsModule.java): a recents_type Settings.System key chooses the recents UI — 0 = Stock (Launcher overview), 1 = Classic (the prior session's revived pre-Quickstep vertical task-list recents, LegacyRecentsActivity). Read once at SystemUI start; changing it needs a SystemUI restart. 🔧 Slim Recents (value 2) is reserved but not implemented — no working modern (A15/16) source exists to port (AICP/crDroid dropped the SystemUI impl in the Compose rewrites; only vestigial settings remain in AICPExtras). crDroidSettings UI toggle still TODO.

7. Quick Settings (prior session)

  • Android 8.1-style collapsed QS (qs/panels/.../QuickQuickSettings.kt + ViewModel): single row of icon-only circular tiles. ✅
  • QS brightness slider (brightness/ui/compose/BrightnessSlider.kt): thinner, shows a percentage number, much smaller vertical footprint so the tiles sit higher. ✅
  • QS layout spacing tightened (res/values/shade_dimens.xml, dimens.xml qs_panel_padding_top 80dp→16dp, overlay_qs_layout_vertical_padding 16dp→4dp). ✅

7. Volume dialog (prior session)

  • Horizontal (Android 8.1-style) volume slider: rectangular track, live volume step number replacing the settings/VU button, thinner, ringer/mute drawer removed, pitch-black background with an accent border, centered, white slider-bounds outline. Backed by a live volume-level flow in VolumeDialogViewModel. ✅
  • 3-digit volume number support. ✅

8. Theming / Monet (prior session)

  • Pitch-black mode (theme/ThemeOverlayController.java): the Monet engine's dark surface/background roles and the dark end of the neutral tonal palettes are forced to pure black instead of a slightly accent-tinted dark shade (gated by custom_pitch_black). ✅

9. Known limitations / not yet implemented

  • QS quick/smart pulldown — ⛔ A17 uses the new Compose scene shade (scene_container enabled); crDroid's pulldown lives in the legacy shade which isn't instantiated. Decision: stay on the scene framework and re-implement (smart pulldown is state-based and doable; quick-pulldown-by-edge needs custom scene gesture work). Not reverting to legacy shade.
  • Status bar: wifi-standard indicator, bluetooth battery — ⛔ blocked on A17's Compose status-bar pipeline (shared viewmodels / missing controller APIs).
  • Status bar: logo, network traffic, dynamic bar, clock chip — ⛔ / ⏸️ not yet rendering (new-view features; logo + network traffic are added to the bar but covered by A17's Compose start-side overlay — network traffic is deferred to the final batch per user). Clock left/center/right position ✅ and the battery bar 🔧 are now done (see §5).
  • Most crDroidSettings toggles outside the areas above — ⛔ the setting persists but no SystemUI/framework backend reads it yet (stage-4 work in progress).

Last updated: 2026-07-13. Maintained alongside the port; sections move from 🔧 to ✅ as features are verified on-device.
