@bronson i was wondering if you still want testers?

[flohack]

Yes I will put the images up tonight GMT

[flohack]

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.

@Flohack A little late to the party, but I just received a pixel 2 xl, and I would very much like to help out with testing if you're still looking for testers.

[flohack]

@ianzimmyman Sure mnore testers means finding more issues ^^

That said, I did not have much time to invest on both Pixel and Pixel 2 but will do so starting next week I would say.

[ericstandlee]

I'm interested in testing pixel 2 xl

[pugguu]

I have a 2xl have been waiting for Linux on my phone forever would be more than happy to test

[flohack]

Some updates:

• Fingerprint sensor was confirmed to be working for 2XL
• Automatic brightness fixed as well

So thats the good news. As I understood, no one can run the port on the Pixel 2 (walleye) so far, as it keeps rebooting, is that correct?

[pugguu]

@flohack if I had a 2 I would test for you but I have a 2xl

[matrixios]

@flohack how could i go through the corrections ??? should i do the process from the beginning with commands ??? do i have to download some files again ???
