Halium 7.1 Test Channel
-
What is the current status of the halium 7.1 Port?
-
Not much developments. I had not time last months, and nobody stepped up to help fixing things so far
If we continue on this speed we can go for Halium 9 instead
-
@flohack Pardon my intrusion. Is halium 9 even possible on FP2?
-
@jezek If it has an official LineageOS then yes
-
The latest official build of lineageOS for the FP2 is 18.1 so there should be one for 16.0 aswell
-
Ok so halium 9 is also theoretically doable on 1+1 ^^
-
I needed to test something on halium-devel on FP2, so while I switched to version 161 I made some observations. As mentioned in this thread before, automatic brightness, flaslight and camera-app are not working. Screen rotation (accelerometer) doesn't work too. Calls & messaging are working as expected, but the irritating loud beeping when the other person hangs the call is still there. I can't use the phone as daily driver like this, going back to halium 5.1 (rc).
@Flohack As @TobsEnd claimed, there is a lineageOS for FP2, so it would make more sense to skip the 7.1 and go for 9 instead. The Waydroid project, which works on halium 9 looks very promising.

Hi, today i switched to halium-devel (build no. 2021-08-10). Looks quite good, although the camera is not working (screen stays black). Torch works though (I assume I have the old module, then? Don't know as I bought the device second hand).
One more thing I noticed: In a call, the volume cannot be changed when using headphones via the audio jack. Volume control for the standard speaker works.
Thanks for your efforts!

Hello there ! I just noticed the phone won't shut down and instead reboots. I push the power button, press shut down, and it reboots. I have to remove the battery to effectively shut it down. I'm positive this behavior came with this dev build
-
If your camera stays black, you can try
cd
rm -rf .cache/gstreamer-1.0Worked for me. Thanks to Alfred for posting this solution.

Things that I noticed with version 182:
- When using the Music app, there's a frequent clicking/hissing noise and the music skips a few microseconds, similar to listening to a vinyl disc on a grammophone. It's not completely overlaying the music, but has quite a negative impact.
- In phone calls, people sometimes complain that they can barely hear me although I am speaking directly into the mic.
- Volume cannot be changed in phone calls when using headphones via the audio jack (I already reported this above).
- After about half of the reboots, the SIM card (I only have one in slot 1) is not recognized and both slots are shown as empty.
- Sometimes the auto brightness doesn't work after a reboot. This happens in stable, too, with around the same frequency.
The rest (well, what I am using anyway) works quite well, and in my experience is only slightly shakier than stable.

Is it even teorically-possible to run Waydroid on (hypotically) Halium 9-FP2 ?
From this post I read that (as Waydroid is based on Treble) a phone with android 9 as base (for vendor partition,...) is required
(I hope I'm wrong ) -
@oli-sax FP2 does not have a vendor partition, but also that detail is irrelevant. Yes sure its technically possible, but I am afraid it will be quite slow.
Also the RAM limitations will come into play, as Waydroid runs a full Lineage it needs more RAM than the old Anbox idea where only a minimal layer was running. You basically come closer to the notion of running a full Android AND UT at the same time. I would say it will be smooth with 4GB. But we dont know yet, lets be surprised
But yes, theoretically FP2 with Halium 9 can do it -
Hi @Flohack. Thanks for making Halium.
