[Porting] Call for testers

flohack · 24 Jan 2021, 18:35

Very good, already a bunch of test users. I am preparing a few things to make your life easier, in the meantime, if you have any data on the phone that needs to be backed up, do it (externally). Due to the nature of Android´s data encryption we need to format the data partition, and that means loosing all data there

@bronson i was wondering if you still want testers?

flohack · 2 Feb 2021, 08:55

Yes I will put the images up tonight GMT

Okay so thank you for subscribing so far

We are are ready for the first round of tests. Please be aware that this is really work in progress, so for example you wont have audio, neither calls nor music. Also fingerprint crashes currently, etc...

Also, a weird thing: WiFi sometimes races on startup and then you will find no APs in the list. Try to reboot until you get a good indication of APs and WiFi symbol is being shown correctly.

Generic instructions you can find here: https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall

The images you need you will find here: http://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/kFjWTt39MqNNnzs

After the initial steps of course, only the last part with halium-install will be relevant in the future. That will save some time. I also plan to publish the script that does just replace the system image, so you dont need always to replace the whole rootfs.

Let me know if that makes sense.
