Additional sensors (magnetic field, gyroscope)
-
Unfortunately the Meizu Pro 5 is not a Halium device, but a legacy port which we cannot rebuild (closed sources), so we cannot inject the missing sensor glue code. Its the same on the BQs...

Hi @nauvpp
As it turns out it's device specific, I moved the thread to the corresponding subforum. -
@flohack
Problem with accessing sources is on Canonical side or Meizu/BQ one ? -
@flohack ok thank you for the clarification
- Legacy means closed source, so very few chance to have additional sensors supported. Moreover, these devices are becoming ”old„ (as I do
) - Halium means additional sensors may be supported, depending on Halium availability
How to consider a GSI device? Is it halium too?
- Legacy means closed source, so very few chance to have additional sensors supported. Moreover, these devices are becoming ”old„ (as I do

@applee thanks! Status changed to “topic„

But old is not dead.
I can assure you that my MX4 is still kicking a**es

Exactly. It's good for the planet to keep using existing devices, instead of getting new ones every two years and creating tons of e-waste!

@keneda Sure it does !
I also own a MX4 (Ubuntu edition). I can't make the GPS to work since a while. It can't fix my position even after let it try for 1 hour... -
@moem I totally agree and that's a benefit among many other with UBp. I learned with this post that “legacy” devices will likely not have such sensors working. IMHO, that's a drawback to me cause compass is so convenient combined to GPS when navigating by foot

Get yourself a Pebble smartwatch (yes, that is legacy too)... you can connect it with your UT phone and it's a compass too!

@flohack one more question I you don't mind: I also own a N5 hammerhead, is it legacy or halium 5.1?
Thank you -
@nauvpp
IIRC the official port is a legacy one.
There is also a work in progress about an halium 7.1 port. -
@applee thanks
