[Porting] Call for Testers
-
Hi, anyone with a Oneplus 5 or 5T around? The port is a bit rough still, but if you like to try for overall performance and first impressions you are invited to join this thread.
Note: You will need Linux for the installation. Due to the nature of our developer tools they cannot be offered on Windows or Mac for the time being. You also need to install AndroidΒ΄s platform tools in their latest version from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Note: This is not a GSI port! It will be required to install "all-or-nothing". Do not try to mix this with ErfanΒ΄s GSI for the time being. Or, you can try, but then donΒ΄t blame us
If you already know what you are doing you can download the images here:

dumpling: http://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/6wgyaKcBDXXJKzXYou will also need the JBB version of halium-install from here: https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install/releases/download/continuous/halium-install-standalone.sh - It needs to be that version due to some newer flags an in general for easier setup of SSH. It also needs the following packages in your host Linux:
- qemu-user-static
- qemu-system-arm
- e2fsprogs
- simg2img

@flohack Sounds interesting to me!
Is charging, WiFi, Hotspot and audio working? (These are my personal, minimal requirements.)
-
Edit : wow, i must be still sleepping...
-
Is charging and WiFi working well ?Then I'll try it
-
https://github.com/ubports-oneplus5/documentation
I tried it last yearοΌbut there are some bugs
-
Charging works. WiFi works but the UI does not pick up the wifi module every boot, we are working on this. Its a bit annoying but manageable.
-
@flohack This Wifi status would be ok for me, but how about mic and speakers?
-
@sven Mic and speaker work, but not in calls right now
-
How to install ?
-
@raysun96 I will upload the latest images soon. I am working on 3 devices, not so easy sometimes
-
@flohack I mean... Do we have some tutorial? I just can't make it work on my oneplus 5t.
-
@raysun96 plz look at https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall thats what I am going to link to this thread on top soon ^^
-
@flohack Thanks! BTW,How can I install updates?
-
@raysun96 for the time being this is a device under development and as such does not have a channel on the OTA server. You can always download the rootfs manually an execute halium-install again
-
@flohack Thanks!
-
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/2Zk2Lz8cZCdqArT
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.

Here's things don't work for me :
music streaming when screen off
Libertine (makedev error)
mobile data(but work with the gsi image) -
@raysun96 Music streaming - what do you use? Thats not a problem of the port, Apps are not allowed to run in the background, except you remove confinement. One of those Apps that works is the highly unofficiall "Cloud Music" app. Dunno if its still working though
-
@flohack Maybe I should switch to Cloud Music.
