Thanks @katharinechui , amazing work! I will definitely try back home in few weeks, I have two devices and hope than one will be using
/dev/sefp0
.Side question: I also tried it with @aribk a while ago without much success, our port was based an Halium7/LineageOS 14 and I spent hours trying to find an issue in the image format: the camera was able to do A/B/C vs the format expected by the camera app being X/Y/Z. Did you encountered such thing? I still wonder what was the solution
-
@oliv I have no idea what is A/B/C and X/Y/Z, I didn't have to investigate much into the camera because it pretty much just worked with the LineageOS blobs from https://github.com/8890q/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/lineage-18.1, except https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/qtubuntu-camera/-/issues/22 but that seems to be related to how UT starts audio and video recording instead
camera also just works on waydroid

Hi,
first of all thank you for your work, seems a difficult task for being only you working on this port.
I'm an owner of galaxy exynos too, only that mine is hero2lte, I would like to help in the development of this, if you need help with testing specific things I'm really interested. Although I'm some kind of a newbie regarding Android stuff, but hey this isn't Android but Linux!, despite that I'm also a Linux poweruser (they call it like this) and I think I can do at least something. Anyway... I'm more than willing to help, just please let me know.Cheers
P.S. forgive my english, is not my native language

Hi,
I'm a galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) user. I recentlyported it toinstallled Ubuntu 20.04 on it. I can assist you if something needs to be tested in the s7 edge variant. -
I'm considering getting a S7 or S7 Edge as a second UT phone (it checks a lot of boxes for me). Is there any advantage/disadvantage selecting the S7E over a regular S7 (or vice versa)?
-
@ubuntumale The s7e screen is slightly better (in my view) but both are much the same. They are both prone to screenburn, but that probably stems from usage and being so popular as a phone (I see a lot of second hand ones).
If you get one make sure screenburn is limited, the screen doesn't go black randomly (internal issue that requires disassembly to fully repair) and the battery is good - UT is a battery drainer on a lot of devices and a badly used battery will make it worse.
-
I have installed 20.04 on my new old herolte device. I might find some time if I can help testing some thing. Experienced Linux/Python user. I would be interested in wireless screen.
-
@aribk said in Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge (exynos:herolte/hero2lte) call for testing:
"Could not fetch the MMS message. Maybe the MMS settings are incorrect or cellular data is off?"
I am having this problem on my recently install Ubuntu Touch, on my fairphone 4. Is there a fix for this yet?
-
I know this is old, but I'm available for testing!

A couple of things:
There seem to be a sequence of adding/removing fingerprints that leaves the unlock screen funky, so no pin entry keyboard is shown. I don't know how to unlock my phone now. Fingerprint unlock seems to work 'for a while' and then does not. It is a phone for playing, so I'll end up resetting it again. I'll try a usb keyboard before resetting.The latest ota upgrade left the phone on the Samsung banner screen. I re-installed from zero to recover it (recovery mode worked, so other strategies might have worked)
