        @turanmahmudov Time should sync when you joined a WiFi - Timekeeper might not work after a reboot, yes.

            @turanmahmudov if you get telnet mode then rootfs.img was not placed correctly. Dont know what happened with your halium-install, probably you also could not push due to an excess blank in my command ? Please delete all from data and retry the procedure, we must find a way it works for all users πŸ˜‰

              It is working perfect for me, the only thing that does not work for me is the telephone network

                somehow adb doesn't continue after 90% of pushing rootfs.img with the halium-install. I tried several times.

                  Have you tried another cable, bad connection can be due to bad wiring.
                  Also a mess in the partition table was a problem for some users recently, so I would check this.

                      I would want to become a tester for Ubuntu on my smartphone.
                      It's a Google Pixel XL (1st gen) that have 128 Gb storage and actually running Android 10.
                      And I would want to completely remove Android from it as soon as possible.
                      I think I'll need some help to proceed to the installation since it's the first time I install Linux on a smartphone. I saw your post that explains from where to download everything and I'm not sure from where to get everything (e.g. downloads related to Porter) and if it's the right things for my smartphone (according to TWRP mine is marlin not halium ...).

                                Download the customization of the device: halium-boot, system and vendor image provided by porter
                                

                                I don't know at all what "porter" is.
                                Oh you mean those files?

                                Download TWRP Recovery for your device: https://twrp.me/Devices/ - Note: DO NOT download the ZIP file for the TWRP installation that gained work with UT. You just need to download the .img file to get started!
                                

                                Always the lastest one or a specific one?
                                https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/twrp-3.5.0_9-0-marlin.img.html

                                Other steps should be ok.

                                      Hi guys, I'm more than interested to test it out on my Pixel XL 32GB(currently running LineageOS 18.1). Only issue with mine is that the microphone, proximity sensor and call speaker don't work. Problem is since I still use it as my daily driver I have a couple of questions to ask regarding daily usage(just to know if I have to use another device while testing).

                                      • Does call audio work trough Bluetooth since as I said the phone speaker doesn't work and also in the begging of the thread was mentioned that the call audio doesn't work?

                                      • How's Anbox support since I need to use a couple of Android apps

                                      • How's camera compatibility?

                                      Excuse me for those stupid queations but I'm kinda new to Ubuntu Touch

                                        1. No, call audio wont work anywhere, the problem is the routing from the modem into the soundcard
                                        2. Anbox patches are not applied. However, Anbox is bleeding alpha, drains battery a lot and is not recommended for daily use. Most apps that use any kind of Google Play services etc wont work as well. Also its based on a very old Android, so most apps struggle with that. I think its Android 5 or so. In my opinion its a nice demo of whats possible, but not more than that.
                                        3. Camera: We cannot use any software algorithms that Google does to get the camera on its full power, but basic capabilities should be fine.

                                          @flohack I recall my Note 4 saying anbox was 7.1, could it possibly be based on halium version?

                                          Whether you think you can, or you can't, if you do not try, you will never truly know. So give it a Go.

                                            @tigerpro No, its an image of a certain Android version, it has nothing to do with the deviceΒ΄s version. I dont think its 7.1 but who knows ^^
