Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners
-
Great, I will make something up and I will let you have a look on it before we publish it.
-
I stumbled upon my nexus 6p today and decided to see if there was anything I could do with it and found this forum and have followed the steps abdicate installed Ubuntu touch.
I am wondering those that have installed it as well what carrier did you have success with because I haven't been able to get verizon to work at all. -
@luke911able Verizon is unlikely to allow your phone back on their Network. But PagePlus and the other Verizon based MVNOs should. I have used my Nexus 6P on Google Fi, Red Pocket (an AT&T MVNO), and T-Mobile/Metro all with no problem
-
@rocket2nfinity thanks I'll try a straighttalk sim when I get a chance to in the next few days
-
Got it to work with straight talk at&t! like is already known from the previous posts it works except for call audio.

Guys I love you all for taking this journey! Unfortunately due to the virus outbreak I am a bit limited to work on this port but I promise to call call audio working asap. I hope you stay onboard for a while

@Flohack I'm not going anywhere.... Because I can't!
It's calls and camera that's not working correct? Or did I miss an update while trying to miss the plague?.....
-
@rocket2nfinity Yeah sorry, still those are the 2 big blockers now....
-
Also flashed it yesterday without any issues. Seems to be working quite well so far other than the issues mentioned above, I'll report back if anything else becomes apparent... thanks for your efforts @Flohack
-
Just flashed it, working great
-
Hi. Found your thread and installed the port. My first try of Ubuntu Touch and it works surprisingly well on my Nexus 6P! I'm not a hardcore developer, but if there is any demand, I can challenge my developing skills in contributing to this port!
btw; Had no issues whatsoever while installing the OS. The only issues is with the missing features, like camera and appstore that you most likely already know about. I have the 8-core version.
-
@7rst1 Hmm now I got interested, which kinda App store you are missing?
-
Dear all,
rotation seem to have died on my development branch, can someone confirm this also for the latest one I have released? Thx
-
@Flohack Where do I download the latest build? This one is a couple of months old:
https://rooty.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/wNCpQQXaEkGHyEH -
@Rondarius I did not upload a new one, since there were no significant changes. Just now I am thinking of preparing an update, and I find rotation broken. Thats why I ask, if rotation works on the old one
-
@Flohack Yes it does.
-
@Flohack Works on mine. Occasionally there is some sort of sensor crash happening in the background. When it stops working, GPS and other things stop working. But I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it
-
@Flohack Sorry for late response. The store is there, but doesn't load anything. I can update through the system settings though.
-
Finally some news:
- I have uploaded now 2 versions of the kernel, 4 and 8 cores, you might want to try 8 cores on your phones to see if you are affected by the CPU bug
- I have removed the root fs from my server. You can now use the 32bit rootfs that we build every day on our CI, which will contain latest fixes etc. IF
- system.img is updated also (download from my server)
Description has been updated (look for the downloads around item 1)
-
@Flohack I think either I did something wrong, or something isn't right in the build.
I used the updated instructions, item 3 from https://pad.ubports.com/p/nexus-6p-alphatesting
The halium install script errored out saying it couldn't connect with adb. So, I loaded TWRP and connected to adb through that. It errored out again because of a reboot command in the script. So, I decided to wipe the device from scratch, re-installed android and wiped dalvick, data, and cache. Then re-tried the install script. It worked with no errors. Did the next part replacing halium-boot-image with halium-boot-8-cores.img following the instructions in item 3 using these commands(I am using the 8 core TWRP and UT build previously with no problems):
./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot halium-boot-8-cores.img
fastboot rebootNow I just get the google logo over and over. I am able to boot into bootloader and recovery. So, what have I done wrong?
