Looking to revive Samsung Galaxy S5 Port

tenbucket

Found a valid deviceinfo file we can use with minimal edits from the postmarketOS downstream kernel

@Keneda should we prefer mainline kernel or pmOS kernel?

tenbucket

Receiving this error while trying to build mainline for S5 using breakfast/brunch, system appears to be complaining that it can't find the device tree although I just posted the device tree both in mainline and pmOS above. This is honestly not behavior I've ever witnessed from breakfast/brunch before...

tenbucket

Kernel compiles and boots! Added necessary Halium config files, next step is compiling rootfs. I still can't find rootfs source for the S5.

@tenbucket
I'm not a porter at all and don't have knowledge about such things.
You should try telegram halium group given in the thread I put link above.

@tenbucket why do you call it mainline? Its version is very old, 3.4.113. Mainline usually means what Linux upstream is

tenbucket

@faveoled I should say "used to be mainline"

tenbucket

@faveoled "True mainline" 5.2 is being tested by the pmOS team ATM. It compiles and boots however there are missing modules.

tenbucket

Can anyone help me merge drivers and modules into Android kernel 5.2 "true mainline"? I can theoretically do the work on my own but I have an obligation today and it would take a long time on my own anyway

tenbucket

We are ready for merge to "true mainline" Check the GitHub repo. I need someone with merge acces to mainline to perform the merge for me.

@tenbucket
Again you should go on the halium telegram group.
Forum is more for reporting port state and find tester in community and get feedback from them than for finding porting help.

tenbucket

@Keneda My apologies, I'm used to pmOS forums, been developing for them for several years now

@tenbucket It might just be the fact I have no experience porting devices but I personally find this to be really impressive, keep up the good work man and keep us all posted.
