Porting to Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910P
-
So I have made progress, I managed to find an un-official lineageOS repo for my phone, using that and a little trial and error I managed to get Halium to compile. I follow the halium porting guide, but when I get to the part that tells me to run the halium-install script, I keep getting an error saying that it "cant write 217 blocks, out of space?" Or something along those lines, not in front of my computer atm, I decided to ignore that error just to see if the kernel at least boots (TWRP warns theres no OS if I reboot at this point) and to my shock and amazment, after a couple mins I could actually follow the debug info and telnet in. I had to change a couple things in the kernel config according to diagnosis.log and init.log which Ive done already, but still get that space error when I run halium-install. Anyone out there run into this? If so, tips to tey and move from a working kernel to at least a working gui?

Niice! Which version?

I remember there was another ubports forum conversation about a similar error message. Something about partition size settings ... I can't remember whether it was actually resolved, but see whether you can find that. Maybe it helps.
EDIT: found it
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/481/porting-to-motorola-moto-g-2013-lte
It seems it was related to the filesystem it was being built on. Weird! -
@doniks I got Halium 7.1 to build, 5.1 kept giving me the dirtyRect error so I decided against trying to compile that. I actually just found the thread you linked, google is such a pain cause it keeps searching for helium despite me typing halium. I checked the respective files on my system, I did like you had mentioned in that post and deleted the same file and ran make systemimage gave me a file that matches the size of my boardconfig.mk size. I will try flashing again when I get home, ssh can only do soo much when your not in front of the computer your sshed too lol

You could give the alternatives a go. This one is quite good:
https://duckduckgo.com/ -
@hans1977se yea I just usually default to google cause its what I use, duckduckgo is my fallback, someday I wont have to google Halium errors anymore lol
-
@tigerpro yeah i know, i'm far worse with habits than i think i should be.
-
@hans1977se arent we all? I am gonna keep searching if this flash attempt fails, I have a feeling my issue might be halium-install trying to copy the image to the wrong partition cause I tried flashing it with TWRP just out of curiosity, and it says the image is bigger than the partition (which explains the out of space) and TWRP only offers boot or recovery when I select the file, but since I just recompiled the system image it might have resolved itself, wont know until I get home to try it
-
@tigerpro probably so in many cases.
I hope this works out for you. It would be quite nice with some Samsung phones running Ubuntu i think.
-
@hans1977se thats my sentiment exactly. Dont get me wrong Android is nice and all, but it leaves alot to be desired for an OS, I have a working kernel (hybris-boot.img) so far, just gotta figure out the rest to make it all work now. Keep an eye out for a possible resolution to Halium, Im so close I can taste it lol
-
Ok, this is weird, I did make systemimage earlier, file size matched at that time, now its 250-ish MB when it should be 300+, think I might have to just use the mkext4 program manually, Im doing make systemimage again just in case something happened when I wasnt looking, but if I have the same issue then I dunno, maybe try a different drive for the code compiling shrugs this is turning into a scooby doo mystery haha
-
@tigerpro There are a lot of good things in Android, but i think it's not really for technical people who likes it better somewhere nicer off the mainstream.
Also i find it wrong to have someone constantly trying to watch you, 24/7, to find out how to make the most money out of your life.
-
@hans1977se well the monitoring is easily fixed via VPN, I myself use one whenever Im using a site with sensitive info, an ad blocker like Ad Away works really well too for the ads, I just want something different cause honestly, Im not a big fan of the current mobile OS offerings, anyways, getting slightly OT, if the make systemimage messes up again, Ill use mkext4 (or whatever the command is)

That reminds me. Did you do this step?
https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/index.html#include-your-device-in-fixup-mountpoints-script
What changes did you make to that script?
-
@tigerpro I think it is a very complex thing to get the complete view of, but what i wanted to say is that i think it's conceptually wrong to constantly track people to get the most money out of you (or in any other way they might do or be doing in the future). You might forget to use your VPN or did not think it was necessary to use it at a particular time, and once they have your information they have it and once they have it their policy could change or a hacker can get hold of it.
Who knows what will happen, but this is one reason why i'm here and hope that your port as well as other people's ports will be successful and make Ubuntu wider available.

@doniks I did do that step, its a bit confusing on which partitions they want cause I used all of the others to try and figure out a pattern, then decided to just put them all in there, Ill post the full section I added when I get a chance.
#=== EDIT ===#
@doniks this is the stuff I added to fix mountpoints, im not sure whats needed and what isnt, but I think I have it entered correctly

;;Let me know if I should change any of this

@tigerpro ok. How did you decide which partition number to put where, eg., how did you decide to pick 17, 24 and 27 for boot, system and userdata? What are the partition sizes? Whats the content of your board config file? What is the exact error message you get?
-
@doniks I was using the Sailfish HADK to figure that out, I forget what the actual command was, but I did "adb shell" then another command which output that info, I copy and pasted from my terminal into the fix mountpoints file then formatted it to the correct format for the file. I tried to manually adb push the system.img to the same destination the script was (/data based on my understanding) which worked, but that juat makes my phone boot loop so I think I might be missing something, I looked at the kmesg file as well, the last entry it had was "booting linux" but thats also not happening otherwise I would be posting files lol

Hang on. So you DO have a system.img file? I thought
make systemimage
fails?! (Can you still post that error?)but that juat makes my phone boot loop so I think I might be missing something, I looked at the kmesg file as well, the last entry it had was "booting linux" but thats also not happening otherwise I would be posting files lol
Maybe post the whole kmesg. Boot loop could be all kinds of other problems.

(Can you still post that error?)I originally was having an error with "mka systemimage" I tried it after I did a make clean cause I started to randomly get an error with "mka mkbootimg" so I just did a make clean (which failed, Had to manually delete a file for it to succeed) after that, I repo synced, and everything started to work again, so no idea on that one, but yes it does generate a system.img now, wether or not its correct is a different story.

Booting Linuxlet me know if you see something I missed, I never get a splash screen, or anything, it either just sits there and does nothing or boot loops, system.img being manually pushed is the only difference I have noticed, although my last attempt before going to bed last night was just a stuck screen, after I had pushed the system.img manually so I dunno whats going on.

ok so I just played around with the system.img file, if I run "mka systemimage" and try to mount it, it fails saying invalid partition type, if I run the make_ext4fs command on it, i can then mount it, but it is empty, (kind of expected as make_ext4fs is a ext4 format tool) and trying it the way the script has it doesnt work either, so now I think I have it narrowed down to the system.img file being corrupted or not compiling right. @doniks was this the issue you were experiencing with TWRP 3.1.1? if so I might be SOL from here cause my device only has 3.1.0 or 3.1.1 according to the TWRP website.
