[Porting] Call for Testers

[flohack]

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.

Device checklist: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/general/-/blob/master/DeviceChecklist.md

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)

[flohack]

@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

[Raysun96]

@flohack Maybe I should switch to Cloud Music.

[flohack]

@raysun96 Its that: https://open-store.io/app/apu.johangm90

[Raysun96]

@flohack Thanks! It still work!

@michi2302 Is your phone in recovery mode?
Check adb devices

[michi2302]

yes, fastboot devices is ok, but adb devices doesnot show any device when phone is in fastboot mode

usb debugging is on
phone is unlocked

[arubislander]

@michi2302 said in [Porting] Call for Testers:

yes, fastboot devices is ok, but adb devices doesnot show any device when phone is in fastboot mode

adb devices never shows any devices when the phone is in fastboot mode. Unless you meant to say recovery mode, the behavior described is expected.

[michi2302]

@arubislander

yes thats it - my phone was allways in fastboot-mode - new in recovery-mode all was fine

- THX

[michi2302]

so next problem, after successful installation - my phone is in the 1+ logo powered by android ??
I had originally installed a custom rom with trwp - maybe that's the problem ?

[arubislander]

@michi2302 I am not sure there already is a custom boot logo for the Oneplus 5/5T.

As long as your phone boots into Ubuntu Touch, then all is well.

[michi2302]

@arubislander thx for reply

right - the bootlogo is probably from android 11 - other question to run "./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img"
I have the recovery.img from "http://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/2Zk2Lz8cZCdqArT"
installed is that correct ? - because without recovery adb will not run.

thx

[michi2302]

@arubislander no phone does´t boots in Touch hangs on android boot logo

[arubislander]

@michi2302

I will have to gracefully bow out now, as I do not have a OP 5/T.
But just to get this clear for anyone dropping by to help you. You are in fact saying the installation failed because your phone does not boot to Ubuntu Touch. Correct?

[michi2302]

@arubislander
yes, right - no problems during installprocess. but phone does not boot to ubuntu touch.

[Ianus]

@michi2302
You can fastboot into TWRP and use adb shell to connect to your phone and examine the image files.
They are in /data/.
android-rootfs.img (size 487022592)
rootfs.img (size 3221225472)
Sizes from my working OnePlus 5.

You can also check if you have flashed halium-boot.img and vendor.img.
fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
