@hengyedev precise for I3123 with single SIM

HengYeDev

@golliath51 It works on Sony Xperia 10 i3123 and i3113 (single sim, international and US)

Dual sim should work with some configuration changes.

I have a Sony Xperia 10 Plus L4293 model and I have not been able to install Ubuntu Touch on my device. First issue is since I have unlocked the boot loader it appears emma will not present any roms for me to install on the phone.

2nd to that I appear to be having issues flashing 3rd party roms to the phone as well from sites like https://xperiastockrom.com/ and others.

Is there any way to forgo the Android 9 stock install and complete partitioning manually? I thought I read somewhere you need the stock rom in order to setup the proper phone partitions.

Thanks

HengYeDev

@tac It needs android 9 stock ROM or it will not work at all. Maybe try the Sony Emma tool.

tac

Ok,Thanks @hengyedev , but unfortunately the emma tool does not support the l4293 model for the Xperia 10 Plus.

HengYeDev

@tac Is there an error? Have you tried some other distributors of stock android 9 ROM?

tac

@hengyedev it just hangs or boot loops and tills me the software on your device is corrupt? I have been able to install lineage 17.1 on the device and sailfish os. Would a version of lineage os that is based on Android 9 work or does it have to be the Stock Android Rom?

HengYeDev

@tac It must be stock android 9 rom

@golliath51 Hello.
Have you fixed the problem with the cellular connection?

zentrr

@hengyedev Good time of day.
I have a Sony I4113 does not work cellular connection.
How do I fix this?

@zentrr my cellular works with this modification:
by ssh or directly on your terminal
change your filesystem permission with

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

modify with vi le file /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf by

sudo vi /etc/ofono/ril_subscription.conf

[Settings]
#EmptyConfig=false
#Identity=radio:radio
#3GLTEHandover=true
#SetRadioCapability=auto

SetRadioCapability=off
emptyPinQuery=false
radioPowerCycle=false
confirmRadioPowerOn=false
useDataProfiles=true

[ril_0]
transport=binder:name=slot1
name=slot1

[ril_1]
transport=binder:name=slot2
name=slot2

and main.conf

sudo vi /etc/ofono/main.conf

[ModemManager]
AutoSelectDataSim=always

and reboot and phone

flohack

@golliath51 main.conf had a bug, in the latest rootfs this change should not be necessary anymore

golliath51

After having tested twice, when I do above operation my bluetooth indicator disappears and I can't active my bluetooth.
Anyone have any idea of link between these conf files and bluetooth? Or how to reactivate my bluetooth.

I have been playing around with the port on the I3223 and it is working pretty good! A few things I am still trying to get working, like access the phone with adb when booted into ubuntu-touch. It might be related to the other issue I'm looking into, that charging isn't working either. If you plug in the phone while off, it doesn't show a charge screen and instead just reboots. If you plug in the phone while on, it doesn't indicate that it is charging.
Also I found that the mod from golliath51 is also necessary for single sim 10 Plus models to use cellular, just omit the slot2 parts.

HengYeDev

@golliath51 To enable bluetooth:

sduo restart bluebinder

golliath51

@hengyedev it's works, thank you.
Do you have tested the bluetooth with headphone or car bluetooth. Because the sound works but the commands doenst work (next, vol+/-, play or ||)?
And you can add gps works in your port, i use all day. But the gps init is slow. May be the agps data doesnt work.

HengYeDev

@golliath51 Commands don't work for me neither. GPS is probably because there is no carrier acceleration in ubuntu touch.

golliath51

@hengyedev some MMS doesnt work and i can add only by files folder but no picture or camera folder. May be change the permitions?
