[Porting] Call for Testers
-
I have a Pixel with 25.11 GB free space.
But with Android 10
May I help testing ? -
Hi guys, just an update, I am trying to solve the puzzle of Pixel/XL having a too small system partition for our installer. I am near a solution, but need a bit more time. Before thats solved more testing makes on sense since that problem would be a major blocker for that device. So, sit back and relax, I hope to come back with an installer config soon
And BTW also SIM card is not detected so Pixel is really in early state only.
-
Hi there @Flohack , I've recently flashed my Pixel XL and am quite happy with the result thus far, hoping to do more testing for you when a new revision is available!
Any update on the progress on this device? Cheers!
-
@daereth Yes, unless I can solve the automatic install there is not much progress. Currently system partition is too small. I try an alternate way of loading the rootfs, or b) we could repartition the flash.
I am not sure if repartitioning is something we oculd be happy with though. -
i want to test it, but not read this whole topic. where should i start?
is this it? https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5533/porting-call-for-testers/14?_=1629345819379

@cregox uh yes install instructions were stored in a pad but this got obviously corrupted. I will clean them up. Please standby until you find my sentence "Update 19.08.201" on top, I start right away
The pad is here: https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall - and you can guess from its current state that its better not to follow those instructions
Unfortunately the device cannot be released into the installer as it has a too small system partition, but we are working on a solution for that.

@flohack It seems the images have been removed from the nextcloud server, which is too bad, because your halium-boot and vendor images were also working with droidian.
I've been struggling to build and package the kernel myself, but your images work.
If you get a chance to rebuild, would you please add waydroid support? All you need in your defconfig is
CONFIG_SW_SYNC_USER=y
CONFIG_NET_CLS_CGROUP=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_NET_CLASSID=y
CONFIG_VETH=y
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="binder,hwbinder,vndbinder,anbox-binder,anbox-hwbinder,anbox-vndbinder".I have it working on my bootimage, but it has other problems.
-
@preflex Mobile data was also working on droidian with your halium-boot. It's really flaky though. I'm not sure what the trick is to get it to connect.
SMS was also working.
Voice calls would connect, but no audio.
No bluetooth.
Everything else seemed to work.

I have Nexus 6P just flashed with OTA-18, would love to help in testing
-
@preflex I can put them up again but they were heavily outdated
you are better off loading them from here: https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fmarlin-sailfish/job/main/ - you can use boot right away, and vendor is inside the tar.gz file on the same page.
With that you always get the latest possible versions.My languages: 🇦🇹 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

@flohack Thanks!
-
@flohack Curiously, the newer boot.img just bootlooped when trying to load droidian.
When building my own kernel based on your repo, I had problems with the dtbs. After patching in the dtbs from your old kernel, i was able to get it to boot (and get waydroid running), but had no wifi.
-
@preflex Strange. I did only one commit on the kernel config lately:
Maybe those SELinux changes are doing that? It seems to work for UT. -
@flohack Can you come to a detailed installation tutorial?
-
@hy I will try on the weekend, to refresh it once more, yes.
-
@flohack Thanks!
-
@flohack i am referencing https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall which mentions a
system.img, however i don't see a system.img in Jenkins. am i missing something? i'd love to try this out on my sailfish device. -
@khimaros the problem is that on Jenkins there is only an integrated .tar.gz which cannot be used for the Halium install method. I will create an updated one an post here again where to get it.
-
So I mader a new round of images here: https://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/iAZDDkRYYAiN6Kk - tell me if that works better

for those seeing a bunch of garbage in the instructions, this link seems to show @Flohack's original version of the document https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall/timeslider#419
