      @Guf said in Ubuntu Touch on LG G6 (h870 model): call for testers:

      @makeixo @walidham Fixed! I applied the patch for bullhead which suggested the same: to disable CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID and to enable SECURITY_ANDROID_GID_CAPABILITIES, but I hadn't done it well. With the help of @tanevanwifferen (who suggested what was wrong), we fixed it ... so let's go for other issues, now

      Could you be more specific, please? I am porting the LG G4 and the patch did not resolve the issue. But then my port is also based on a different kernel version (the 3.10). Don't know how relevant the fix is for my version?

        Now I also managed to install this port on my European LG G6.
        UBports looks great on this device and makes a good impression.
        There are a few things I'm currently not sure if I made a mistake during the installation or if it's just the unfinished port.
        Programs always seem to start in window mode or the interface in general is not adapted to the display size.
        Do I have an error in the installation or is it just the optimization missing?
        Otherwise very good work, I hope this port will be further developed.
        I would be very happy to have a full UBPorts on the LG G6.

          Sorry for the double post, I found out that the problems are probably caused by the port and not by my installation.
          I would like to know if they are currently working on this port and how I could support the developers? @Guf or @tanevanwifferen
          Are there any tests that can be done or how can the development be driven forward?

            @Invy You need to disable desktop_mode and/or to install UT-Tweak and revise scaling

                @Invy As you might see, I fixed bluetooth(at the moment I provided the manual commands to do it) and I would like to go for the other missing thing.
                It is possible GPS is working, but from inside my house it makes no sense to test it.
                Need to improve routing sound output to speakers, because it seems audio output is only with headphones

                  Sorry for being the idiot in the room, but is there some install instructions on this.
                  I know my way arround a bash shell and use ubuntu since 10+ years. But I am not sure how to install this on my LG.

                  I managed to unlock the device and ran

                  fastboot flash boot halium-boot-20200326.img

                  from http://docs.ubports.com/tr/latest/porting/halium_7-1/Installing.html I thought I found more and cloned some repo and ran

                  ./halium-install/halium-install -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system-20200326.img

                  Giving me the output:

                    @basti I had the same problem during my installation, I think I was able to solve the problem with a different rootfs at that time.
                    I think I used this edge version:
                    https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-hybris-edge-rootfs-armhf/

                    Of course, this may not be right. But I was able to install everything with it.

                    The manual activation of Bluetooth did not work for me, I used sudo for all commands.
                    As error message after hciattach I always get an "initialization timed out".
                    The GPS can be activated, but no location is found in uNAV.

                      @Invy I need to upload new kernel configuration with HCIUART and HCIUART_H4, otherwise it won't work at all. I will ping as soon as I did it. Or I can add my halium-boot (botstrapping from systempart, as requested by OTA compatibility, or not) to be downloaded and tested.

                                @basti this is more likely due to adb, rather than to halium-install, the last command must be executed when the device is in recovery mode. Not in bootloader one

                                  @Guf Ok. Not sure how to get there now. Cant connect to ADB anymore. Phone stucks in boot screen.

                                  - Is there some instructions where this calling for recovery mode was mentioned?
                                  - How can I recoever from my mode now?
                                  - Is there some general instructions I can look at?

                                    @basti Is the smartphone stuck in this screen?

                                    Try this one:

                                    • Turn off the smartphone
                                    • Hold the power button on the back and Volume down
                                    • When the LG logo appears, keep holding Volume down, release the power button and press the power button again briefly.

                                    After a few seconds a recovery menu should appear
                                    I strongly recommend to install TWRP for the LG G6, you should be able to install everything from here.

                                      @Invy Thanks for the answer. We make steps forward.

                                      I managed to install TWRP on the recovery partition. But the UT install still fails:

                                        @basti Did you install your device with halium-install? I just updated the instruction at the very beginning.
                                        Halium-install usually installs rootfs.img and system.img in datapart, so you need to flash the image, as described above.
                                        Please, inform me if you still have problem booting.
                                        Take it easy, you can recover your old system (previous UT or Android, or LineageOS), whenever you want.

                                          Sorry, @Guf
                                          I assume you have other stuff to work on, but I really do not see where there is any "instruction at the very beginning".

                                          Yes, I installed my device with halium-install like adived on another website.

                                          ./halium-install -p ut ../ubuntu-touch-hybris-xenial-arm64-rootfs.tar.gz ../halium-boot_h870_datapart.img

                                          I ran it two times, as in between I accidentally disconnected my hub.

                                          First time I got this:

                                          user@ubuntu~/Downloads/lgg6_ubuntu/halium-install (master)$ ./halium-install -p ut ../ubuntu-touch-hybris-xenial-arm64-rootfs.tar.gz ../halium-boot_h870_datapart.img

                                          I still only see the TWRP screen on my phone. No UT is booting and there are nowhere instructions on what to do next!

                                            @basti you used the wrong file with the halium-install: the command needs to be feeded by the rootfs.tar.gz (you did it correct) then by system.img. At this point, it won't fail.
                                            So far, you need to reboot in bootloader, and from pc execute fastboot flash boot halium-boot_h870_datapart.img (that you will download from the very first post).
                                            Your halium-boot won't let you boot correctly because it is thought to bootsttap from systempart to be OTA compliant, while halium-boot install rootfs and system in datapart
                                            Anyway, the 3rd line of the very first post, suggest to join a telegram chanbel that i created today
