All in the details, wow

Currently attempting to use other distros/OS on Marlin, it's been tricky through fastboot & twrp but despite me messing around with both a/b partitions... I managed to just flash the original image again

It's a treble compliant device with latest update being Android 10, is there anything that can simply be flashed from twrp? I don't mind wiping the system partition from both slots. My phone has a faulty battery anyway and im pretty much fine with the risks

flohack

@dasein No unfortunately the last situation is still that our rootfs + system image combo does not fit onto 2.5GB system partition and that prevents further porting of the device. Unless we invent a kind of split boot mode this is a severe blocker.

It might be therefore that this port never reaches installer and stable state.

Please do not post links like that if not relative to the topic.
If you have a personnal website to share, use your profile settings, there is a specific field for that.

And by the way, welcome on the ubports forums

Unfortunately I have to use my time for UBports elsewhere currently, so not much progress. I will roll a current build manually for all of you who want to try it out again.

Ping me in a week if I didn´t

@flohack Hello! Thank you for all your work on this. I was able to get to the halium-install-standalone.sh stage but the link to the images appears to be broken (website won't load because of PHP version issues). Might I ask for another way to get at those files? Maybe we can put them on GitHub or something? Thanks again!

Is this port dead?
