@Rondarius yeah the stock ROM installer should repartition

[flohack]

I am now on 8 coress and 64bit ^^ seems to be fine. Camera though works only for pictures, no video recording so far. But still amazing pictures ^^

I will fix Bluetooth next....

[user]

finally got it up and running, will try it out soon

[user]

just tested camera, works well. no issues.

[user]

I can make calls, but audio doesn't seem to be getting transferred. No sound on either device when i phone.

The selfie cam works but the image appears distorted. not a big issue.

There doesn't seem to be any integration for the fingerprint reader as well.

[rocket2nfinity]

Well, that was just plain weird. So, it turns out there appears to be an issue with the latest halium install script and Android-sdk-tools on Linux. If you run into the same problem I had, you need to apply these fixes:

I don't always pose for photos, but when I do, I do so with a Nexus6P running Ubuntu Touch!

[CantStopLion]

@rocket2nfinity A fine member of my global den. :orange_heart:

[rocket2nfinity]

@Flohack running 8-cores, the latest system, rootfs, etc.

Camera working including flash, but when flash is used, the device freezes requiring manual reboot. after reboot, the flash photo is in the gallery, intact. Video does not work, but does not crash the camera either

Strange enough, flashlight does not work, even though flash does.

Rotation and all sensors consistently working, smooth as butter.

SSH and MTP mode work. RNDIS works

Still not working - audio in calls, bluetooth, hotspot.

You said anbox was included. I ran the procedure from the docs, still says not in the kernel. I tried to wget the anbox build for angler, it says no kernel for angler. Did I miss something?

[flohack]

@rocket2nfinity sorry I did not update the kernel image, since despite the standard Apps like calculator and system settings no other Apps would start. But I can upload the kernel and you can try for yourself.

[flohack]

Sorry also for Bluetooth, I need to replace 1 32bit binary with 64bit....

im going to try in an hour, however i got a question ,how does it work the gpu with the latest version , it uses some sort of nouveau drivers?,its laggy?, or the videos play niceley and it has acceleration? thanks for the hard work in the community,thumbs up guys you are the best.

Hi,

Ubuntu Touch uses the underlying Android drivers, as there is no open-source thingie for Android SoCs (Mostly Qualcomm and Mediatek, they dont publish anything). So, theoretically you can achieve the same performance as with Android.

However, currently our stack does not use HW acceleration in all the areas, probably video playback is the one where you notice this most. But, still its okay.

I grepped 'pulse' in var/log/syslog and got this for the time that I was trying to make a phone call:

not sure if this is very helpful for troubleshooting the phone audio issues.
