[Porting] Call for testers

IanZimmyman

@Flohack A little late to the party, but I just received a pixel 2 xl, and I would very much like to help out with testing if you're still looking for testers.

flohack

@ianzimmyman Sure mnore testers means finding more issues ^^

That said, I did not have much time to invest on both Pixel and Pixel 2 but will do so starting next week I would say.

I'm interested in testing pixel 2 xl

pugguu

I have a 2xl have been waiting for Linux on my phone forever would be more than happy to test

flohack

Some updates:

Fingerprint sensor was confirmed to be working for 2XL
Automatic brightness fixed as well

So thats the good news. As I understood, no one can run the port on the Pixel 2 (walleye) so far, as it keeps rebooting, is that correct?

pugguu

@flohack if I had a 2 I would test for you but I have a 2xl

@flohack Sorry for the noob question in advanced but i'm used to flashing Lineage os images on arch Linux

the below command i'm not sure it can be performed in arch Linux

mounting the actual UT OS
When performing this step, TWRP recovery must be run:
Release ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

if i run

sudo ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

i get the below
qemu-arm-static not found in $PATH

make sure you have all dependencies installed.
dependencies: qemu-utils binfmt-support qemu-user-static e2fsprogs sudo simg2img

most of which i can't get on arch

i'm guessing for now there is no option to run the script on anything but Ubuntu?

flohack

@adamjonn Hi, yes unfortunately there are some Ubuntu-specific parts in that toolchain.
We are working hard on getting the device into the UBports Installer, which is kinda blocked by the very small system partition the device has currently.
I hope over the next weeks / months to get this resolved.

@flohack thanks for getting back to me, i look forward to trying it when it is done in the mean time might use gnome box and install Ubuntu to try the current build.

will it also have anbox capabilities dare say i am fairly invested in android apps which i uses on my arch distro.

keep up the fantastic work! i watch another review of your work posted earlier today very high praise as always.

Installer config for the 2 Xl is available: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6199/beta-pixel-2-xl-installer-config

Please test ( not with the Pixel 2 please, only 2 XL!)

flohack

Some update, got MTP working today, now next big thing to do is call audio

flohack

Call audio working now, but needs to be merged into the rootfs, hence its not rolled out now and I will report later when it can be tested.

But it also works with speakerphone! I will update the devices page later, seems Pixel 2 goes towards daily usage ^^
