VoLTE Implementation For Google Pixel 3a/3a XL
-
@Eric-H There hasn't been any commit since then, if you want to re-build with a newer rootfs, without doing it on your computer, fork the repository and trigger the pipeline. I don't think it will work, if it did then the developer wouldn't say he gave up on it.
(I don't have the device myself, just explaining the procedure for anyone wanting to test the images.) -
@atarilinux hi mate, i can join you in testing the pixel 3a xl with Halium 12 for the VOLTE if you want. I am in Australia and i have just ordered the phone which should arrive in a few days.please note i am not a programming expert so should be a ground (ish) up experience for me as well.

Thanks for the information. I might be missing something here. Is the image ready to be tested? Does anything need to be built? Maybe we are unsure and need to get more information from the developer? Just looking at the next path to take.I have the device and can test but would probably need a step by step on how to get this image on the phone. Currently, it is running Ubuntu Touch. I have a Debian Linux laptop that can be used to assist with anything extra that may be needed in getting the image on the phone.
Secondly, once the image is installed, I would need to know what to look at to provide any error messages that may show up. Again, I appreciate all the help with this!
-
Thanks for the assist! Much appreciated! I have some programming and data experience, but not in this realm. Ubuntu Touch is new to me, but I find it fascinating. I'm currently trying to learn what I can, but I'm sure it will be a long journey. Also, I just want to thank Australia for Bluey. My daughter loves it. Hahaha

Hi @atarilinux
It is better to rebuild the images and it is easy.
This can be done is two step.
First step, fork the repository on gilab :- sign in/up to gitlab.com on your desktop
- go to the new port repository : https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android12/google-pixel-3a/google-sargo
- click on
forkbutton - click on
fork project(keep the public visibility)
-
Haha bluey is nice isn't it
-
@Eric-H Thanks, will sargo fork work for bonito automatically?
-
Hi @Nocflounder
I’m not 100% sure. It’s better to ask the developer of the new port in the Pixel 3a Telegram group. -
@Nocflounder
Correction: acccording to the source code, yes,bonitois supported by the new android 12 port. -
@Eric-H thanks for the answer
-
It is. Hahaha
-
Thanks! I will need bonito as well! Good to hear it is supported! Also, thanks for the information on Gitlab!

@Eric-H @Nocflounder @AppLee
The project has been forked on GitLab. Here is the link:
https://gitlab.com/atarilinux/ubports-ubuntu-touch-google-sargo-volteNow how do I get it from here to the phone to begin testing? Would that be this:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/index.htmlOr...has this already been done?
I have the newest Ubports-installer on my Debian Linux computer. Thanks!
-
@atarilinux
Now that the project has been forked, you can proceed to step 2.
In the new fork, in the left menu, go to Build->Pipelines- click on
new pipelinebutton. - confirm.
- Wait - the build process might take several tens of minutes.
- .img files can be downloaded from the
devel-flashableartifact
Next steps (make sure your phone bootloader is unlocked) :
- on your phone flash stock android 12 ROM - use exactly the same version used by the developer.
- flash the downloaded .img files with fastboot/fasbootD
- test and report
- click on

build step have been done in you fork - at step 2
I have the newest Ubports-installer on my Debian Linux computer. Thanks!
Currently, the new port cannot be installed by the the UBports installer.

@Eric-H
I'm trying to locate the exact Android 12 version used by @fredldotme. Is this listed somewhere in the files and/or documentation? Perhaps I'm overlooking it.Keep in mind I use bonito, and the code in the device info file only mentions sargo. I'm not sure if that would need to be updated. Some files include bonito, but this specific file only mentions sargo. Perhaps bonito and sargo share some files?

Usually, this is documented on the device page of the port.
But not in this case...Keep in mind I use bonito, and the code in the device info file only mentions sargo. I'm not sure if that would need to be updated. Some files include bonito, but this specific file only mentions sargo. Perhaps bonito and sargo share some files?
Yes, some ports share repo ( see surya and karna , or miatoll, or android 9 sargo and bonito).
For all your questions I recommend asking on UBports Telegram (Pixel 3a and Porting groups)
-
@fredldotme @AppLee
Do you have any insight on this? We are wanting to help with testing. Thanks! -
Thanks! Good to know I wasn't missing anything in the documentation. Sorry, I don't use Telegram.

@atarilinux
Without Telegram, it might be complicated, as almost all discussions regarding UT take place there.
If you use Matrix, I believe there are bridges to these Telegram groups.
