@padraic What is the installer on the PC doing?

@lakotaubp said in Bricked my old BQ m10 fhd:

please mark as solved

They already did 😁

@droid001 Try to contact a porter of your device and ask if the latest OTA-19 supports Anbox or Waydroid.

This made me wonder if that work could actually help save the Aquaris M10 from being scrapped when 20.04 is up and running. You never know.
Is this useless or is this something to work on?

I followed you train of thought and put together a list of possible trees that might come handy for you to port to Halium image.

If I understood correctly:
cm/lineage 16.0 is Halium 9.0 (preferred?)
cm/lineage 14.1 is Halium 7.1 (good)
cm/lineage 12.1 is Halium 5.1 (current?)

I put there also vegetalte (Vegeta 5G) that someone started porting long time ago

@whomreally lWell done you are all sorted.Enjoy. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6311/how-to-ask-a-question-and-then-mark-it-as-solved

@luksus No, that's a separate issue. Audio does go through pulseaudio already in QtWebEngine, so microphone can be used, but camera on Android based devices is done via a Qt plug-in which talks to the Android HAL via libhybris, however video/camera support in QtWebEngine does not go through QtMultimedia, therefore it does not use that plug-in. Instead, it expects v4l devices, and QtWebEngine itself has no knowledge of what libhybris is or how to use it.

Therefore, someone needs to do the work to write a system service which bridges the Android HAL for CameraService as v4l compatible device on the Ubuntu side of things, so that apps using v4l for camera access will just work.

@jv-0 I would try running through the installer again without the wipe option and see if that fixes the issue

@applee Thank you, I will try that!

@edwaleni said in Anbox Installation issue:

Actually that is not me.

That could have be as he got the exact same issue 😄

Anyway as you can see, i also have a mediatek based device, one of the legacy canonical one like yours, but still, a pain in the... bottom... for devs.

I switched to ubport not so long time ago too, untill then i was still on last canonical uTouch OTA.

Wish you luck with anbox.

@dobey

I went back and installed the original Ubuntu Touch with the SPFlash Tool and was able to update to the latest UBPorts version using the desktop app with no issues after that. Thanks for the prompt feedback everyone.

With BQ formally out of business now, it will give my M10FHD some extended life. I still remember how excited I was when it arrived from Spain here in the US way back when.

I will send a donation to the UB Ports Team as soon as I finish checking everything out.

@alwi Great. You can now mark this thread solved using the cog wheel top right (Topic Tools) then ask as question then mark solved. Any problems let me know.

@marathon2422 I have a BQ M10 HD running OTA 15. It connects to my Panasonic TV with my Blackberry Playbook HDMI cable. Video playback is great, but no audio over HDMI. All you get is audio from tablet speaker. Such a shame.

@breizhat Less Secure apps also needs to be turned on in your Google Account security settings iirk

@alwi
it is possible to reach system settings via the battery indicator, so you can update to the latest version or change channels. Touching the "about" icon while in system settings will cause a crash.
