              @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?

                @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!)

                        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 ^^

                          @flohack I'm curious if your VoLTE experiment will be included. I was very excited to see you've made progress with snapdragon and android 9.

                            @rocket2nfinity Sorry the VoLTE experiment is currently still under development, there is unfortunately nothing useful right now 🙂

                              @flohack Still exciting. Another related question - is there a good guide on audio routing and how the dialer works? Because, when i'm in 4g only areas, my N6P can make calls but no touch tone/audio during the call, nor can you hang up. Thinking the Pixel 2 might be similar.

                                Hard to say maybe your phone tries to do volte who knows 😛 does the 4G/L signal stay on all the time during the call?

                                  @flohack Yes. Stays 4G, but something's different with the audio routing when on 4G

                                    @flohack So, what's not working with Pixel 2XL? Because it all seems to work to me. Even hotspot! Something I miss on the N6P.

                                      @rocket2nfinity Hotspot works wtf... How can it be? Well N6P has a different method of switching the hotspot, and its hardcoded in UT so we need to fix that globally.

                                      Erm check the list here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/muskie/ - and can you please tell me if I can mark some things green there? I as not able to test battery endujrance really due to my old and damaged device, e.g.

                                          @flohack GPS, hotspot, microphone all work for me. I'll test NFC, battery, and other things when i get the chance. I don't know how to determine if hardware acceleration is working. But, it runs smooth.

                                            @rocket2nfinity humm interesting maybe my GPS is faulty then. I will wait for someone else to confirm together with you 😉

                                            NFC is hard to confirm now, there is no real click App that you can install, but I expect it works out of box since its an easy API 🙂

                                              @flohack A few things i've noticed:

                                              • there's a strange power off problem. You hit power off, and the phone sometimes reboots instead.

                                              • Can't be sure about battery for two reasons. First, when you plug in to charge, it does not indicate it's charging, despite clearly doing so by the rising numbers. But no lightning bolt on battery. When screen goes off, charging LED turns on also indicating charging. Second, sometimes WiFi does not come back after moving out of and back into range, or after enabling flight mode. Same with WWAN after making a call, or dropping out of area, or flight mode. It says it reconnects, but no data until you reboot. Sometimes it does properly reconnect, so it's an intermittent hang up.

                                              -Don't know if it's important to anything, but sensors app does not show screen rotation info, even though the screen clearly rotates.

                                              -I cannot get fingerprint reader to do anything
