Ubuntu Touch on Sony Xperia X
-
-
Calling now works (with caveats). For the time being you need a test version of telepathy-ofono on your device to enable calling:
sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_haliumfixup -
@beidl Great work. Is having to run the command the only caveat (that you're aware of)?
-
@chriswyatt when unplugging headphones during a call it switches the output to speakerphones. Generally the headset detection is something I'd like to fix next.
-
@beidl great work beidl, i'm looking forward to this port reaching full maturity!
-
I'll release a new version of the images with functional hardware-accelerated video decoding & partial camera support (no videos, no flash) soon.EDIT: New version now available here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/14061
I'd also like to know how many have tried the images on their device. May I ask you to raise your hands quickly?

Hey, Just flashed this to my xperia x but it now does not recognize the sim card. It just states that it's unknown with a sim card in it. This post says that calling isnt working on any halium 7.1 based device. But the devices post says that calling does work? Anyone else have this problem?
-
@ehkad please follow the updated instructions here to flash the device, the old halium-install method is not supported anymore: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3229/sony-xperia-x-suzu-f5121

@fredldotme this is exactly what I used
but it wont recognize the network. -
@ehkad Maybe your APN settings are missing, that's the only hint I can come up with currently. Or try a different SIM card just to verify it's an issue with that SIM.
-
@fredldotme so I tried messing with apns but I can't get it to add koodo. The sim works in my android phone still. And it worked in the xperia when it had android. Now i feel dumb. But would using an 5122 be enough to break this?
-
@ehkad Are you saying you are using this on an F5122 even though the title explicitly says it's for F5121?
-
@fredldotme
apparently I am... whoops. -
@ehkad You were able to install UT on F5122?
I saw a second hand Xperia X but sadly it's F5122 as well -
@kugiigi I did but unfortunately cell connection does not appear to function. Everything else seems fine but no calls or texting.
(to my knowledge) -
@ehkad Camera works as well?
-
@ehkad Maybe because of dual sim structure.
-
@makeixo the most noticeable camera problems are that video straight up does not work. Selfie camera only seems to notice very bright light (everything else is completely blacked out)and does not work properly at all. And I'm not sure if this is an ubuntu touch issue or device issue but the camera always seems to take the photo as if you are in landscape mode.
Update:rebooted and the selfie camera seems fine now... don't know what was up. But also always taken as if in landscape.

On XDA I found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/universal-sony-dualsim-patcher-t3930983 Perhaps a solution for the dual sim issue?
-
@Nikfrager maybe I did something wrong but after flashing this I didn't get any results. It definitely seems like the kind of solution that we need though. As the first sim card says unknown. And the second one is not recognized at all as having a sim card. Thus it is just a single sim rom. Which makes sense since it is designed for the f5121 specifically. But you may be on to something
I'm going to continue looking into this and see if I can tweak a thing or two and get different results. I have many phones so if this one falls through I can move to the one plus 3t and mess with that instead.
