Notch Hack won't install

[stanwood]

@Alex25 For aligning the menu bar with the corners and notches, there’s an app that works quite well:

It works perfectly on my Redmi Note 9S.

@stanwood This did the trick. Thanks. Probably will help OP as well.

Sadly Kugi's Ambot Installer doesn't work either - see my above post.

Lots of space left - or am I missing something?

I added messages to apply-notch-hax.sh in order to see how far it runs. The last message is given before the script tries to run
sudo apt update. Therefore I think apt is the problem.

[kristatos]

@muskist No, there is no space left, your root-filesystem ("/") is 100% in use, and that's why apt update and/or apt install fails. But I don't know why your root-fs is so small, on my Volla22 it's 7,1G and 2,9G are used, so there is enough space for thing like that.
AFAIK the porter of your device has to declare the size of the filesystems.

[kugiigi]

@muskist Try reflashing. Ambot Installer also needs enough space for the packages to installer successfully. I think the notch hack filled up your root when it used apt.

[RandomUser]

@muskist I had the same problem. I suspect an incomplete install procedure when upgrading from 16.04 to 20.04 because of a boot problem with thr OP6T.

I had to reinstall completely so it reformatted. Note that you'll lose all your data.

@RandomUser said:

Did you try first to reinstall without erasing user data, like installer allows to do ?

[muskist]

@kugiigi
Thanks for your reply!

After refleshing I have gained 52 MB on /

Would you consider that enough to install Ambot Installer or the notch hack?

TIA!

[kristatos]

Maybe another FP4-user can check on his device if the root-filesystem is really only 2.9G. It seems to me very small and on my Volla22 it's more than the double of it.

[gpatel-fr]

@kristatos

I have a FP5 and the rootfs is 3.1 G
