Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners

@rocket2nfinity I am afraid both things require elevated knowledge of how Android works and how actually Ubuntu Touch tries to emulate that environment. For the call audio the routing is made involving pulseaudio, a pulseaudio module, a stub Android service call mini-audioflingerglue and then Android stuff itself. The problem is the debugging there, I did never receive any sensible log entry what could be wrong.
Samew goes for the camera, I tried the new approach by Ratchanan from here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3257/how-to-test-gstreamer-droid-based-camera-support-in-ubuntu-touch-for-halium-7-1-based-port but I was unsuccessful also. So, either in the Android container or in UT side we still have a permission problem, some missing service or whatever ^^

@Flohack Above my skill level then. I tried to produce a logcat but it didn't output anything. I also tried dmesg which did produce a lot of info including some errors. But, beyond my skill level to interpret its meaning. I can forward it to you if your N6P is still down

flohack

@rocket2nfinity My N6P is back up - well more interested in /system/bin/logcat output, though you might need to have this:

Starting Logcat on 64bit Kernels
sudo env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib64:/vendor/lib64 /system/bin/logcat

@Flohack I have noticed a pattern as to when rotation fails. Everytime after I reboot and get rotation back, I get these weird sms messages. When I look them up, it appears they are either silent network reconfigurations, or visual voicemail messages.

So, I'm thinking something to do with the modem, maybe whatever isn't fixed yet in calls. What specifically I don't know, but it's a start.

@rocket2nfinity I have no simcard in my phone, but I guess that the modem could cause problems either way, with or without simcard.

Hi guys, I finally found the issue with the rotation (and it would affect all sensors in fact) and I pushed a new system.img for installation. Please download again here: https://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/wNCpQQXaEkGHyEH

flohack

Oh and by accident I fixed the camera today lol...

So it works:

Taking pictures with rear and front camera
Flash if needed
Record video with sound

Please test. I again replaced the system.img, here is the new link: https://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/wNCpQQXaEkGHyEH

Happy picture taking!

@Flohack said in Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners:

by accident

So that means you don't know how you fixed it?
Implying you could break it anytime later?

rocket2nfinity

@Flohack Installed. But did I do something wrong, because camera still just closes

flohack

@rocket2nfinity Thats very interesting, can you take a logcat log by issuing sudo env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib64:/vendor/lib64 /system/bin/logcat before opening the camera app?

flohack

@Keneda Yes could happen but is unlikely. I will be careful with the changes...

flohack

@rocket2nfinity But does rotation work at least now always

rocket2nfinity

@Flohack rotation works. Everything else works as it did. Getting logcat. Standby....

rocket2nfinity

@Flohack I've got the logcat, but having trouble figuring out how to open it and get it to you since this is not Android.

rocket2nfinity

@Flohack I need to make a correction - can't get Bluetooth to turn on now. Turn it on in the pull down, it turns it off on the system settings Bluetooth page.

Turn it in on in system settings, it turns off on the pulldown menu

rocket2nfinity

@Flohack For troubleshooting purposes, I am using your latest system with the most current rootfs

rocket2nfinity

@Flohack speaker - silent mode does not work.

Hotspot still doesn't work.

With the exception of Bluetooth and speaker silent mode, everything else works as it did. Rotation consistently working, all other sensors consistently working

@M4xhack Just a quick answer there is no ADB in Halium devices, they will only offer ssh via RNDIS on address 10.15.19.82 - On the host, if you connect the device, you should see an RNDIS adapter coming up in dmesg

Update: Today working on the UBports Recovery image. This is needed to allow using the UBports Installer instead of the cmdline tools, doing OTA upgrades, and resetting to factory defaults. It basically looks good! Soon you will be able to use the installer and a custom config file, which will do all the downloading and installing for your
