nd it has acceleration? thanks for the hard work in the community,thumbs up guys you are the bes
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:

where is the link to the arm64 rootfs ??
i found it
https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-rootfs-armhf/search/?q=xenial-rootfs-arm64 -
@Girlycard777 don't know if you saw this yet, but helpful when setting up

@user yes is saw it but what i was searching was the arm64, but i found it
-
@Flohack what rootfs did you use? i used this https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-rootfs-armhf/search/?q=xenial-rootfs-arm64 and give me bootloop

@Flohack I'm curious to try it, Anbox, so please do when you get a chance. I had a similar issue with my x86 tablet anbox build, the same fix might work with this one.

booting succesfully with arm64 and 8 core , i want to test it ,i like it , Does anyone knows how to configure apt ... when i give apt update and apt upgrade give me some sort of configuration error which wont allow to lock dpkg files etc , with sudo and root acces

html antutu benchmark gave 4700 score
surprisingly testing the wifi net speed gave me more bandwidth than android stock (100mb/s) almost 802.11 gibit -
@Girlycard777 apt upgrade is not the way to update the system in UT. UT is locked down for security reasons, click packages being the way to install apps. Both apps and the system are updated via system updates in the settings panel

my music apps crashes , does anyone knows how to fix it? i tried uninstalling and installing

in the future what adreno drivers ye shall be using , i saw that freedreno with libhybris was the target , or you guys will be finnaly using just adaptations of vendor android partition? wayland is compatible?
-
@Girlycard777 The underlying driver for most Android devices will almost always be the original one. There is much too much other stuff thats more important, with a small team you need to be pragmatic: What works works. And it does not matter much what composer we have, be it Wayland or Mir, as long as we have the adaption to the Android API we can use that. That said, the roadmap is not set in stone, but now we need to progress with change to 20.04, Qt upgrade, location and other sensors improvement, making Non-Android phones work etc.
So not much work planned around the Android low level stuff. Its also changing too fast, there is already Android 10. -
@Flohack so is there any way to partially enable the hw acceleration even if is broken ? i wanted to test it fully before changing or deleting rom , i mean if only that were enabled i would test it a lot more , ? im searching for a linux phone distro capable of this gpu (adreno 430 ) to be accelerated seems that the freedreno are fully compatible with the soc however it needs to have kms enabled, i dont want to remove ut , i like it
-
another thing... anybody knows where is the link of this particular kernel source , i want to compile some kmodules for it and do some testing

@Girlycard777 I am the wrong person to ask, you might want to join the porting Telegram group, there we have a few knowledgeable guys: https://t.me/ubports_porting ask @NotKit

Hi there! First of all let me thank @Flohack for the great work with this port and also the many testers! Keep it up!
Last night I have successfully installed the arm64 image on my N6P with 8-cores. I have to say it looks very nice and fast. I've also tested the camera fix and it works (no video though).
Count me in for testing
One thing I've noticed is that charging seems slower than on android (both with original charger and cable, and while connected to a pc with a usb-datablocker). I have an usb-amperimeter for testing if it helps.
