Fairphone 3 (FP3)

Ingo

That sounds great! I might be able to try it out this weekend

Ingo

I wasn't asked to set up a screen lock password after initial start and now the phone asks for it to unlock after suspend. Tried 0000 and leaving the password blank, but that didn't work.
What is the default password?

Edit: ok, now I guessed it: "phablet"

Edit2: didn't test much so far, but swiping down the notifications etc. from the top only works on the right two-thirds of the screen (and the left third of the screen still shows the active app).

Edit3: seems like bluetooth isn't working (doesn't see any device; BT on/off from settings aps and quick settings pull down menu are not in sync) and with developer options enabled I don't see the phone with adb devices (ssh phablet@10.15.19.82 works)

@Ingo sorry, I forgot to mention the default password.
The top swipe issue is because of the missing device-mode (handset, tablet, desktop or similar).
You have to edit the android.conf file, as I descriibed under known issues.

Ingo

@Luksus said in Fairphone 3 (FP3):

Make the system writable

How do I do that? I tried sudo mount -o rw / which gave
mount: unknown filesystem type 'rootfs'

Luksus

@Ingo sorry again. The command is:
sudo mount -o rw,remount /

Ah yeah, I just remembered it wrong, it was too long ago I tried out UT

Edit: the first post mentions to edit /etc/ubuntu-touch-session.d but it should be /etc/ubuntu-touch-session.d/android.conf

It actually did contain the line with "handset", so I just added the other two. I assume it needs a reboot for it to take effect?
Edit: yeah, after the changes and a reboot the pull down menu looks fine

Yet another edit: of the things marked as "not tested" I tried SMS in/out and they are working

When long-pressing the power button to see the shutdown menu, the entry "restart" only restarts unity8 (I had assumed it'd do a full reboot; which is possible via sudo reboot over ssh).

And in order to try out mobile data I temporarily disabled WiFi. After enabling it again, the phone did not reconnect, even if my WiFi was still in the list of known networks and also seemed to have stored the correct PSK. Only forgetting it and connecting again with PSK worked.

@Ingo the reboot thing also happens on my bq sometime, meaning, that on a second attempt it reboots normally.

@Luksus @Ingo it happens when you have many apps open. If you kill them first, you will be able to reboot the first try.

Hello,

I have a fairphone 3+
I have downloaded (ubports_GSI_installer_v10) here (https://build.lolinet.com/file/halium/GSI/)

But then i try to install GSI .zip / inside twrp recovery.
I get stuck on boot up, can some one tell me why and how to fix it?

Luksus

@007fred50 : did you flash the boot image?
And it could be necessary, to flash the data partition (which you can also do within twrp). But I am not 100% sure if this is really needed.

007fred50

@Luksus Yes.

step1: ubports_GSI_installer_v10.zip (download)
step2: boot up TWRP
step3: wipe data
step4: install
step5: ubports_GSI_installer_v10.zip
step6: install image inside ubports_GSI_installer_v10.zip->data->system.img
step7: reboot
step8: stuck in boot up logo / Fairphone 3+ boot logo

Luksus

@007fred50 :

I am missing step -1 and 0 in your list

-1: download halium boot: download
0: boot into fastboot mode and flash halium-boot.img to boot: fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img

You can flash the boot image also after the other steps.

007fred50

@Luksus i downloaded the file and

fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
but still stuck in boot logo (fairphone 3+)

Luksus

@007fred50
wait, what is that? step6: install image inside ubports_GSI_installer_v10.zip->data->system.img

You just should install the whole zip over the sideload function.

007fred50

@Luksus so i dont need step6? and what is (sideload function.) ?
