Arm64 apps and testing

[PhoenixLandPirat]

Now that we have arm64 builds in the ubports installer, it's a lot easier for people to install and test arm64 applications.

If anyone has any apps they'd like to be tested on arm64 please reply here with a file/link to a file.

This may also be a good place to talk about hurdles compiling apps for arm64.

Thanks you

Thanks for opening this thread, looking forward to more arm64 apps being available for the oneplus 3. I'm willing to assist in any way possible, but I'm not a developer

Waiting Clickable for building arm64 apps with qmake, it is not supported yet.

ok, I found and/or compiled a few apps.

teleports
fluffychat
uvolman
file manager
uttweak tool
openstore ( will install other all architecture apps - webapps and qml apps)

[mateo_salta]

If you want to build with qmake there is a working ci configuration for git lab, create a ".gitlab-ci.yml" file containing

build-arm64:
stage: build
image: clickable/ci-16.04-arm64
script:
- clickable clean build
artifacts:
paths:
- build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/*.click
expire_in: 1 week

@mateo_salta Thank you for this.

Edit: Had a quick try with
pkcon install-local openstore.openstore-team_2.82_arm64.click --allow-untrusted

fatal error: could not resolve: etc etc Going to try again later.

@mateo_salta Thank you so much for the info. I'd been failing to install openstore up to now. Good job!

@Lakotaubp Saw your post and mateo salta's generous provision of files above. Downloaded the openstore click and had another go with your pkcon etc command. It failed again, but I had not navigated to Downloads first...

cd Downloads
pkcon install-local openstore.openstore-team_2.82_arm64.click --allow-untrusted

Openstore now on op3t

[Lakotaubp]

@ziggutas Now that's what I really like about UBports, help is always at hand. Thanks for that it's normally the simple things, Openstore now on OP3.

[mateo_salta]

@ziggutas oh my, ive certainally done that before myself

[joe]

I was trying to compile these apps, but I couldn't figure it out:
TELEports
Fluffychat
Axolotl
Dekko2

Basically all of the communication apps.

[mateo_salta]

@joe I have a fluffychat and teleports build up from my link

[lduboeuf]

i've built Stellarium, can you please test it ( don't have any arm64 device): https://github.com/lduboeuf/Stellarium-mobile/releases/download/v0.2.5/me.lduboeuf.stellarium_0.2.5_arm64.click

[Lakotaubp]

@lduboeuf Installed and all seems to work well. Will test further tonight. Thanks for doing this.

[Lakotaubp]

can someone please remind me where sms messages are stored in the file system. Want to try and move some from one phone to OP3.
Also does anyone else keep trying to open their phone with the finger print sensor:(

[AppLee]

@Lakotaubp If I'm not mistaken, messages are stored in database.
If your question is where this DB is stored, then sadly I don't know. I saw the information somewhere but cannot find it again.
Someone complained about SMS messenger on UBPorts app deb channel (matrix+telegram), I think it was yesterday and maybe @lduboeuf...

[Lakotaubp]

@AppLee Thanks thats what I want to try and find.

@Lakotaubp pglushkov offers some info on the location of messages in this old post...
