Call for testing a the new build-variant "standalone-kernel-method" (vs. full-system-image)

Luksus

@danfro not really.
I would like to merge a proper fix for the hfd-service-delay and then, we could theoretically do through transition.
But I don't know yet, how the transition could be achieved.
And I heard, Jami is experimenting with a halium 10 build, so I would ask him first how far he has come and if it is an option to maybe switch to halium 10 at all.

danfro

@Luksus Thanks for the answer. So nothing in short time and still with some open question marks. That's life.

I just wanted to find out for myself how to proceed with this kernel and "normal" devel updates. I can update devel and flash this kernel again then occasionally. No trouble.

It is good to have you and Jami doing some work and improving things. I really like the battery safer feature and its nice to have the led back.

Luksus

@danfro if you want a more current devel with this build-variant, I can just trigger a new build.
Otherwise, if you flash the old ubuntu.img again over the updated devel, you will have the old devel again.

I just started a new build, you can download it here, when it is finished:

@Luksus Great, thanks a lot. I missed the fact, that tjis kernel also includes "everything" from devel.

Yes there should be a fix included regarding building of core apps which I would like to see on my device.

danfro

@Luksus would you mind triggering a new build? Some changes during the last couple of weeks may be interesting to test (haptics, log reduction).

Luksus

@danfro new build is running.

danfro

@Luksus Great, thanks a lot.

Luksus

@danfro btw. the led-light-fix is now merged into the master branch.

Regarding the second SIM-card:
I did not have any issues in the last weeks. It was always detected at boot and meanwhile even the order of unlocking the SIM1 and SIM2 is correct.

So the system itself seems to have improved and it seems that the previous issues were not device specific.

danfro

@Luksus It definitely seems to work much better (=more often), but right now when testing, one of my sim cards didn't get detected.
And here they still come up in the wrong order, every time. The first sim also generally takes longer to find the network. Maybe related to that?

I did grab some journalctl logs from this boot where it failed and the last one where it worked. In case this may help.

Luksus

@danfro Hm, OK. Then I wonder what changed on my device... But the logs would be interesting.

danfro

@Luksus there have been lots of merges regarding ofono and stuff recently to prepare for VoLTE, so might be worth testing a new build with latest devel code and see if that helps?

Also would VoLTE work on OP5T? Could we test that?

Luksus

@danfro I already did some tests with FP3 and OP5T and on both, something seems to be missing still, for VoLTE to work.
So I would just wait for now, until someone comes up with a solution for devices, which are not the FP5.
I know that it is not working on the P3A too, but work is going on to get that fixed.

danfro

@Luksus thanks for already testing that. I am more curious than in need, so no rush.

Also I just saw the build I am using is from July, but pipelines have newer ones available. I will give them a try.
