      Hi @Luksus,
      I tried to boot system.img and it worked on first try, no issues. In the meantime I executed sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade so some package versions might have been different for me on previous build.
      So far I was able to send and receive few SMS messages without need of reboot.

      Here are some points:

      • after fastboot flash system system.img phone successfully booted.
      • post TWRP:
        • after TWRP phone did not boot
        • tried to flash system.img again, did not boot
        • flashed boot.img and system.img and successfully booted

      After newly flashed system wifi did not appear to be working. However after reboot everything seems working. I also so far did not apply switching between two options you suggested.
      Also issues I have been describing in previous post seem to be solved, in the next days I will be using this build and will refer how system works.

        @Janez Thank's for testing.

        If I undrestand it right, the combination of halium-boot.img and system.img did not work for you?

        And as you are currently using the CI boot.img and system.img, does telephony and cellular data connection work for you?

          Nice it works now ! thanks

          Hello Fred! So you were able to downgrade your FP3+ to Android 9 then install UT GSI; and Ubuntu Touch is working on FP3+?

          If that is the case it's nice, it means we can develop a unique image for both FP3 and FP3+ 🙂

              @Luksus yes, you understand right.

              • halium-boot.img and CI system.img does not boot from fresh
              • CI boot.img and system.img boot successfully

              So far I found strange combination which works for me:

              • SIM card in slot 1 works and phone recognizes it. However to make phone call I need to be connected to some WiFi with internet access
              • SIM card in slot 2 works with and without WiFi connection
              • Cellular data (2G/3G/4G) does not work for me for halium-boot.img as well as CI boot.img so here I suspect wrong setup of APN. My operator did not provide me too much useful informations. I will try to work it out in next days.

                Ok, it is the same behaviour for me. That's why I did not make this version very official, because I think that is a show-stopper for using it daily.

                With halium-boot it is working perfectly fine for me (ok, sometimes I have to switch cellular data on and off to make it work).
                With CI boot.img, I got a data connection displayed next to the simcard, but it is not making it to the "global" data indicator in the top, which means: no data connection at all.

                Other things, that need to be solved for the CI version is Vibration and Notifications in standby mode.

                  I had some time to play around with the phone. I did fresh install of halium-boot.img from your build and sideloaded ubports_gsi.zip

                  I found very annoying bug - System time is set to 1st January 1970 and does not matter if I have set auto or manual time set. After reboot the phone still counts since 1970.
                  I tried to fix that by running sudo mount -o rw,remount / and after that performing time change but without success. On next boot I have yet again year 1970.

                  I also tried to perform sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. Web browser seems to improve in performance but the time issue is still there. I also noticed the phone does not respect change of timezone and just sits with that picked on first boot during settings.

                  BTW, I noticed there is LineageOS build for FP3. Not sure if this could help but AFAIK SailfishOS build by default relies on Lineage so it might be helpful for UBports as well.

                    @Janez thanks for testing.

                    Regarding the time-bug: I encountered that the phone needs an internet connection to set the time again, every time it is rebooted.

                    Regardig your sudo apt upgrade: does the vibration feedback still work, after the update? I read, that Erfan, who created the GSI, did create it's own patch for the "human feedback device"-things and that it would be overwritten on a system update.

                    In general, I will not try to fix things further for the GSI way, but for the other builds, in the Gitlab CI.
                    Recently, I managed to get mobile-data working. It is still needed to have any data-connection to be able to phone or send/recieve sms, but it is not further relying on the wifi-connection.
                    Lates Build is here.

                      The timekeeper needs to be fixed for reboots, its an Android service, and every port needs to address that. I can help with that maybe. Just ping me.

                          @007fred50 interesting.
                          Vibration is known for not working with this image.
                          But camera and audio does work for regular FP3. So it maybe has something to do with new camera and audio module of the FP3+.

                          Does they work with the GSI image?

                            Hello @Luksus,
                            Regarding sudo upgrade: vibration feedback works for me but is a bit laggy now. I guess it takes around 0,2 - 0,5s to vibrate after tap on icon but it can be caused by slow loading of an app. Keyboard vibrations work but I have them usually off. However while typing I can't change sound volume of the keyboard. It just sits at its level even though phone is in silent mode.

                            Regarding time-bug: while describing my issue I rebooted phone this morning. It took around an 1hr to set right time, I guess I need to be more patient next time.

                            In the mean time I noticed an error with missing _apt user (command apt could not get rid of permissions) so I tried to add it manually. For now error is gone but I have no idea if I did it right or if this user has to be in specific group.

                            As soon as the Gitlab CI build will be able to make calls and sms, will hop on it and try but for now phone calls are important to me and I do not always have access to internet connection.

                              @Luksus Hej

                              i have installed GSI image V10 now, Fairphone 3 +

                              GSI:
                              Updates = Not Working
                              Vibration = Working
                              Camera = Not Working
                              Sound = Not Working
                              Turn Power Off = Working

                              GITLAB CI:
                              Updates = Working
                              Vibration = Not Working
                              Camera = Not Working
                              Sound = Not Working
                              Turn Power Off = Not Working (restarting)

                              So they have added new camera and sound modul

                                @007fred50 did you also flash the halium-boot image again, for using it with the GSI?
                                I ask, because vibration should work here...

                                @007fred50 & @Janez Does the Notification LED work correctly in the GSI?`

                                Because it seems that it does for the GITLAB CI BUILT now.

                                    thanks for your support on FP3.
                                    I'm testing both isos, but CI is working better and most of the stuff is running well.
                                    SIM card is running
                                    bluetooth is running
                                    camera is working
                                    sound is working
                                    headset is working

                                    I'm waiting for cellular data connection!
                                    I could download you ISO 20 days ago and flash boot and system. Your last system build from yesterday I can't flash (fastboot flash system ...) . It stops always by 3/5 sending sparse 'system' and do nothing.

                                    Do you know what is the Problem?

                                    thanks

                                      @FP2andFP3-User Hi, and thanks for joining 🙂

                                      I never encountered such an issue like you described.
                                      Can you confirm that the archive is completely downloaded (~824MB)?
                                      Perhaps, try to download it again.

                                      The extracted size of the system.img, should be around 2.29GB.

                                      Currently there is a new build running, which also should enable Notification LED.

                                          @Luksus no, notification LED seems to not work at all. However it did not work well on default system as well so I overlooked that.

                                            great it works!
                                            I have found the Problem:

                                            Fastboot problem (file data too large) so i change to fastboot -S 300M flash system....
