Re: FM radio: testing instructions and feedback

Enabling my device, the Xperia X -- First:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo ls -l /dev/fm* /dev/radio*
[sudo] password for phablet:
ls: cannot access '/dev/fm*': No such file or directory
crw-rw----+ 1 system system 81, 18 Oct 27 1971 /dev/radio0

Second: Install the .debs (fm-radio-service; fm-radio-tools). No problem!

Third, Start the command-line client:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ fm-radio-client.py

1. Quit
2. Open tuner
   Choose an action: 2

That is the result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fm-radio-client.py", line 226, in pick_action
command.action()
File "/usr/bin/fm-radio-client.py", line 156, in open_tuner

message, timeout)

Seems to be similar to the output from BQ U Plus, isn´t it?
(I´m not a porter or expert, only a user - but really like fm on my phone and missing that in UT.)

So, thank u for your work!

Falshed today UT to suzu: works amazing. Unfortunatly no "donate" button here. Had to donate on xda to u. Thank u! I appreciate your work very much: to have a mobile working privacy friendly alternative more to android is important. Thanks!

What should be the next for the Xperia X?

The phone is not my daily driver - so I do not use it so much. But I never experienced such problems. And I am also on devel.

Switch off the device. Press the louder key. Connect the phone while pressing the louder key with your computer. Wait until the blue light appears. Run the ubports Installer.

@Keneda I was used to copy links from morph to axolotl: unforrunatly that works anymore.

@mario-ch of course he will get Android 8 with ”Emma”, the ”Sony Flash Tool”.

@kultex this is the way I would do, because it seems the easiest way for me; it would partitionate the device to the original condition. Howto in fastboot is described on twrp.me and (I think) Lineage os. (probably you will need an older version of twrp, before the appearance of LOS 9).

@kultex nexus 7 needed for installing Lineage 9 (8 also?) and forks of it a repartition. So maybe it has been repartitioned with a modified Twrp for that reason. In that case, it may help to partitionate with a former twrp that does not partitionate. (I do not know which version.)

Since flashing UT to my Xperia X I have restricted offline charging. Switching off and reboot, the phone shows the typicall sony information when it is unlooked ("Your phone has been unlocked ... can´t be untrusted."), after that the sony logo and than the graphic-animation charging battery. But the devices isn´t charging (contrary to that: it is very slowly discharging). When I disconect at that moment and immediately connect, the Xperiy X will start charging. Are there other users with that issue? (no problem charging turned on - and no problem with android before)

@Stef7773 What maybe can help: choose another version of ubports-installer. Otherwise, I followed the posts on xda, there I understood the correct way to flash. I remember some month ago, I had the same problem .
