Oneplus 3/3T

Hi all!

Following advice from @banderson5586:

flashed TWRP to recovery partition using fastboot
'fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>
where twrp.img was downloaded from https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplusthree.html
rebooted phone if 'recovery' mode and then using UI of TWRP I did the following

fixed 'cache' partition
fixed 'data' partition
formatted and fixed 'system' partition

after that installation with ubports-installer v.0.4.6 could be finished successfully.

Now all seem to work finally!

Important step was to format and fix the 'system' partition, before I did that, only fixing 'cache' and 'data' partition did not help - installation always stalled somewhere in the middle of 'sending' phase, when Ubuntu OS is supposed to be flashed on the device. After doing manipulations with 'system' partition, finally all finished successfully.

Thank you everybody for your comments and shared experience! And special thanks to UBPorts developers who make it all possible in the first place!

It seem to run fine, runs better than my nexus 5 because media files actually work.
How did you get anbox running?
Is there any way to get the open-store installed?

joe

@bsdfreak Can you download it from here and install from command line?
https://open-store.io/app/openstore.openstore-team

click install openstore.openstore-team_2.81_armhf.click

or whatever version you download

bsdfreak

@joe doesn't work when it fails because i use arm64.

joe

@bsdfreak Right. That's unfortunate. I guess it can be repackaged for arm64 at some point:

bsdfreak

@joe than i wait for the merge to happen. at least the basic apps seem to work fine. typing this on my oneplus 3. I imagine the openstore will come with a ut update?

bsdfreak

Some testing:

the keyboard doesn't work when adding an account.
notes app doesn't work and gives a blank screen

andybleaden

@bsdfreak Yes I had that when I installed it. I also had the double triple reboot until it kicked into shape and booted and boy was it fast. You can see here from a twitter video when I did it later last week it was very fast and really responsive.
twitter video

Working!
Regarding 64 bit apps I heard from @CiberSheep via twitter
"plain qml apps will work. Other apps need recompilation for target architecture. OpenStore is in the work for serving multiarch clicks." all of which is good new.

I also tried to install open store but got error messages ...in fact lots of errors installing anything....but that will come. The main thing is that it works. Wifi etc ..mobile/ data needed a reboot again but over all. Job well done

bsdfreak

@andybleaden you need to give in the allow-unauthorized to install with commandline

andybleaden

@bsdfreak oh cool thanks...did/does that make the OpenStore installation work? I remember this from previous earlier openstore installations before UBports really kicked in

pglushkov

@bsdfreak Hi! Could you please explain more specifically, what you mean by "give in the allow-unauthorized" ?
Thanks!

andybleaden

@pglushkov On the old version I used from @OMGUbuntu here

I had to allow it in the terminal

pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted openstore.openstore-team_0.103_armhf.click

Not convinced that will still work or is the correct version.

Yes, thank you! I've tried that with the 'allow-untrusted' option and it did not work, ARM64 is still ARM64. But @bsdfreak mentioned some 'allow-unauthorized', so I was wondering if mb that is something different.

andybleaden

@pglushkov hmmmm yes fear that is correct over to you @bsdfreak

bsdfreak

@andybleaden i mentioned it out of the top of my head and it is untrusted not unauthorized. Just checked it.

joe

@andybleaden I tried recompiling an app for arm64, but it still crashed on run.

Anyone know how to uninstall clicks from commandline? I can't seem to find the right package name.

andybleaden

@joe Used to be

sudo click unregister --user=phablet PACKAGE-NAME

or hold and long press on the app if it is in the dash

Definitely sweet dreams are made of this... XD

joe

@andybleaden thanks. On the oneplus 3 the long press just seems to open the page on open-store.io. I'm guessing because there is no open store app.

Seems to have been the app that has a problem. Either HTML-based or the ogra container.

Pure qml app compiled for arm64 worked. Tricky to transfer it to the device without ADB.
