The basic idea after I tried on the Pixel 2XL: you unlock device as usual (enable developer mode, authorize your PC for USB debugging, boot into bootloader do fastboot flashing unlock) Then, do not try to install TWRP permanently. You will have to boot it everytime with fastboot boot twrp-xy.img You can select the slot to flash to also with the fastboot command. What I did was: Boot TWRP in slot a Install LineageOS 16.0 (to get the vendor partition), TWRP will install it to slot b! Flash halium-boot.img to slot b Install rest of system with halium-install. You also need to specify flag -s to install it with "system-as-root" mode System is booting now, but recovery cannot be installed ATM with Halium. We are doing work now to integrate our recovery properly, at least then you will be able to use it.

Any way for an XZ1 (poplar) owner to help with this? Or are the two device versions too different?

@libremax There are different instructions for Xiaomi redmi (note) 7 on youtube. Unfortunately, these devices are rare to find. A redmi 8 or 9 version would be fine :smiling_face: .

Unable to connect sony bluetooth to xperia x with UT

@dytract well give it a try, but modding the image is already halfway to do a real port you will need the Android build tree and such, so if there is a Lineage 14.1 or 16.0 for your device, I would still suggest you start a port.

@AdhithAdhi I understand. In order to port Ubuntu Touch to your device, we need the android AOSP kernel with all specific modifications to talk to the various hardware components. I don't know if there is a way to get those sources from elsewhere, but Cyanogen or Lineage guys achieve to get it, so there is a way... Anyhow good luck. And maybe someone here can see your post and know a better answer.

Hi, I'm so happy, that someone remembered about old xperias. They are great! However honami is xperia z1 (xperia xz1 is called poplar). Which halium version did you build? If there are so many problems maybe you could consider halium 9 porting with Generic System Image (GSI)? As there are Lineage 16 avaliable for honami (and other based on android 8 and later) so all after project treble where device specific code is moved to vendor partition. Read about the differences between previous halium version and 9 in GSI llink I'm not a developer but I hope it may be helpful Do you have any experience which you could find helpful and share about porrting UT to sony phones? I have couple devices which I'd like to be running UT, Xperia XZ1 compact (lilac) - now I'm working on it... Xperia XZ1 dual (poplar_dsds) Xperia Z2 (sirius) - same "z" family as honami Xperia Z3 compact (z3c) - same "z" family as honami

Update: i think that there's something wrong with ion. Ion is used for graphics so it explains why it doesnt boot to ui

Did you have any luck porting to the Pixel 2XL?

Did anyone ever look into an OnePlus X (onyx) port again? I found this which points to a possibly working port: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/rom-ubuntu-touch-oneplusx-t4048635 https://github.com/ubports-onyx/ubports-ci
