Fairphone 2 (FP2)
-
This is a Halium 7.1 based port for Fairphone 2. The current port is based on Android 5.1 and has quite a few band-aids and workarounds. This port is completely new and isn't based on the current port.

Kernel: https://github.com/Halium/android_kernel_fairphone_msm8974/tree/halium-7.1
Device: https://github.com/Halium/android_device_fairphone_FP2/tree/halium-7.1_ubuntu
Manifest: https://github.com/Halium/halium-devices/blob/halium-7.1/manifests/fairphone_FP2.xml (This manifest doesn't point to the Ubuntu Touch additions. Addrevision="refs/heads/halium-7.1_ubuntu"to the device tree tag to retrieve them.)Status:
- Working:
- Display, Wi-Fi, Audio, Battery indicator, Bluetooth, Video playback, Vibration, GPS, Accelerometer
- Camera (Needs gst-droid, see the instruction in another post.)
- Audio (Headphone detection now works correctly.)
- Cellular (Both SIM slots work. Voice call, SMS, MMS, mobile data works.)
- Not working:
- Flashlight (very likely due to gst-droid based camera.)
- Front LED
Install:
No prebuilt image has been made yet. Thus, you're required to build the image from source.

I will be happy to test. Do you need testing with the new camera as well? Maybe @nanu-c can help with that.
-
@Flohack @nanu-c Testing the new camera with GStreamer-droid is highly appreciated. I believe that using 7.1 should solve issues with the new camera modules due to no need for any wrapper.

@peat_psuwit Pardon for my intrusion. I would like to ask about the working status of sensors in this build. Concretely I mean the accelerometer, compass and front light sensor (am I missing some?). Could you check? Thank you.
-
@jezek Accelerometer works as the screen rotates correctly. LED doesn't work, probably due to the permission issue. SensorStatus doesn't show values from the compass, but I'm not sure if it's due to the port or other problem.
-
@peat_psuwit Thank you for your answer. Compass is not working on current (default) build, that's why I asked, to see if new Halium (7.1) fixes the problem.
By the "front light sensor" I meant the proximity sensor on the front (near the front camera), that is used to turn off the display while calling (and if not working properly, I always switch to flight mode with my ear during calls). I think, it is used also to automatically regulate brightness.
-
@jezek Normally proximity and brightness are separated. So you can have perfect b rightness regulation but still the display does not switch off during calls.
