Call for testing: Nexus 5 (hammerhead) owners

@Flohack said in Call for testing: Nexus 5 (hammerhead) owners:
USB: MHL/SlimPort
There is no MHL on Nexus 5. Also, I don't see ADB listed for the USB features, though I presume it is working since you've been debugging things.
-
@dobey I am confused with all that USB extensions. I remove MHL again^^
For ADB: Thats a Halium port, they come without adb and use RNDIS/ssh instead. So thats kinda expected. @fredldotme made a point though that some Halium devices might have issues with RNDIS, so we might have to support both.
BUt as I understood the plan was to deprecate adb fully. -
I have an N5 with Ubports OTA11 RC, how can I test it?
thanks -
I can help with this as my Nexus 5 is now spare after switching to a ONO for my daily driver.
-
Sorry guys but the virus outbreak caused some stress here that I am sorting out. I will write a guide for installation ASAP. Also, we are trying to get experimental builds into the installer, it will be much easier then

-
I tested it a bit, main issue for me is performance, probably cpu is not working at full power
-
I'd be happy to help with the testing. Will possibly need to wait a couple of days, as my N5 is currently my daily driver, but from some time early next week I should be ready.

Hi @Flohack do you know if it is possible to use only a simcard with only mobile network on it? no phone number connected to it. I have tried but when I am trying to use the webbrowser it detects no network and the symbol for mobile network is black=no signal.
-
@Rondarius I have mine on Google Fi data only sim, no number. Works just fine
-
@rocket2nfinity Hm, I plugged in another simcard in my 6P and it worked, I will try to use another card on my N5 see if it solves my problem.
-
Hi, not sure if I'm late or not but I'd be glad to help out
-
@ImmyChan I think a can speak for Flohack and welcome you, and no you are not late it is still under development.
-
Is Ubuntu 16.04 still a hard requirement to build, now that you are on Halium 7.1? Or would an 18.04 system build fine? Will you also include a guide on how to build your latest code from source?
-
@enrolado You can build halium on any system, it is very similar to building android. I am using Manjaro linux without problems.
-
@Flohack I would happily help you guys test for hours (have a lot of time and very interested).
But I need a Nexus 5 w Ubuntu....know where I can buy one aside from Ebay?
I bought a oneplus 1, but hosed the installation....just reluctant to do it myself.
-
@Nathan123 I have an extra one I'm willing to let go for you to enhance the Halium 7.1 version. DM me so we can work out the details!
-
Update:
Thanks to @rubencarneiro we are progressing now finally on the core features. Audio in calls seems to work, only minor adjustments needed. Also we have unblocked auto brightness and proximity sensor

PS GPS works too now ^^
-
@Flohack As a member of the large community of Nexus 5 users I’m really grateful and impressed of all the great job you’re performing with Ubuntu Touch.
-
I think I'll also join testing this with my "new" Nexus 5 which I don't use anymore because of an issue with the modem and charging.
