Thank you as always for the work done.

I am syncing the repo for this now, Ill see if any of the things I did for my Galaxy Note 4 will work on hammerhead
-
Hello,
I know there has been some progress regarding the future of this device
Could someone please clear the current situation?
Thanks a lot! -
@malditobastardo Well we are working on a build based on Halium-7.1 which will improve camera and medai handling at least, and probably also solve other stuff. More important for us is that we reduce the number of code variants to be maintained in the future.
The build is still work in progress, currently fighting call audio, camera haha and some stuff. But it looks already nice. Still I wont recommend to flash it now, as basic things might not work as expected.
-
@Flohack Thanks a lot Flo for your answer. Everything is very clear.
Keep up the awesome effort and just let us know when help with testing is needed. -
I want to try this I am not much familiar with installing with just the sources. Do I need to compile them and install via TWRP? I have experience flashing via TWRP and nexus root toolkit.
-
@kugiigi Please give me a few more days, the current sources and installation instructions are very unfriendly and will lead you in eventual problems. I will publish binaries so you can try.
-
Dear All,
please scroll up to the beginning of this thread, I have put the detailed What Works list there. Also there is now instructions how to install it with binary images. Would be glad if a few people can confirm my steps.
-
Hi @Flohack I have installed the latest build with the installation steps in the first note. The installation went through without any hiccups. Very smooth installation.
-
@Flohack there are a couple of gotchas:
the instructions should read: halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut u.... not halium-install
and
Can't do this on Ubuntu 16.04 as the package simg2img is not available until 18.04 - bummer
I'll have to upgrade away from Unity
-
@floop2 Actually you don't. Unity 7 was patched to run on 20.04. I have it on my low spec X86 tablet. It makes a world of difference, and I've noticed no bugs when using it.
There are also new distros featuring unity 7- Umix, Ubuntu Unity Remix
-
@floop2 Ok will fix but simg2img should be available for 16.04, I am still running this version: See https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/devel/android-tools-fsutils
-
I used the new Halium-installer from Gitlab. I don't know if it's makes any difference during installation.
-
@Rondarius There is a Halium installer? Tell me more xD
-
-
@floop2 There isn't a script by that name in the Halium-install-master folder and I have executed it like this ./halium-install -p ut... and it have worked every time.

I've got a HDMI slimport adapter, build works fine when connected to a monitor with usb, can run apps and work things fine using the touch screen mouse pad.
