Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni)

@Danct12
I found a way to create the zip, tell me what you think:- download the unofficial zip from xda (see post above)
- remove img files inside
- download system and boot image from https://github.com/ubports-santoni/ubports-ci/actions/runs/52390878
- rename halium-boot to boot.img
- run this script
wget https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-rootfs-armhf/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/out/ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz mkdir rootfs-build dd if=/dev/zero of=rootfs-build/rootfs.img seek=500K bs=4096 count=0 mkfs.ext2 -F rootfs-build/rootfs.img mkdir -p rootfs-build/cache/system mount -o loop rootfs-build/rootfs.img rootfs-build/cache/system/ cd rootfs-build/cache/system && zcat ../../../ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz | tar xf -- put back the img files into the zip according to their original position: system and rootfs into data, and boot into the root position (the rootfs img is in the rootfs-build folder)

Thanks, it worked, I used the standalone version.Recap:
-
https://github.com/ubports-santoni/ubports-ci/actions/runs/52390878
-
fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
-
halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut ./ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz ./system.img
-
ssh into it (ssh -l phablet x.x.x.x) and run:
cat /var/lib/lxc/android/rootfs/ueventd*.rc|grep ^/dev|sed -e 's/^\/dev\///'|awk '{printf "ACTION==\"add\", KERNEL==\"%s\", OWNER=\"%s\", GROUP=\"%s\", MODE=\"%s\"\n",$1,$3,$4,$2}' | sed -e 's/\r//' >/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/70-santoni.rulesCons: neither system nor apps have sound. With the unofficial zipped port in xda at least apps had sound
Can we try create a script automating the creation of the flashable update zip ?

can i flash ub directly or i must flash Los 16 first? -
@Danct12 I tried, it didn't help. I will wait probably for ubports installer support, would love to see it soon

Hi @suoko ,
The switch is based on boot image flash (restore from TWRB th boot) and the Ubuntu is just two .img files : rootfs.img and system.img which will be mounted, during the boot. So the partitions won't be touched...
The locations of img files (browse from TWRP) is on /data/ , while the location of Internal storage that You see in MIUI is /data/sdcard or /data/media/0 .Work like a charm...
Best regards

Can anyone please add zip installation or Nandroid backup of ubuntu touch latest for santoni and maintain it (upload latest whenever ubt updates) for people out there who don't have PC and therefore can't install it. Including me.
Or any way of installing it without PC ?

Second this. At least one that's updated once in a while. Thanks in advance -
Okay I tried both halium-install method and generating standalone zip based on @suoko instructions. Nothing works.
On the halium method, I'm stuck with
chroot: failed to run command ‘passwd’: No such file or directory
Failed, please try againand installing qemu-user-binfmt did not help.
For standalone install, I followed @suoko 's instructions and made a zip file, which installed successfully, but it won't boot (stuck on Mi logo). I think system partition was not patched, because in one instance, TWRP reported "No OS installed, reboot anyway?"
Can someone suggest next steps?

Hi @Danct12 ,
Can You please write a few words about "fixes" or "new features" on new compiled images?
Best regards
