Really great to see the MTP issue has been resolved. Well done who ever has solved that. Great to see that and also potentially the ringtone sorted. Who do we have to thank for sorting these 2 out of 3 headaches?

@jkoel Yes with twrp as you did but in reverse but you need to remember what the file system was in the first place!

@andybleaden
The Oneplus Kernel for test purposes need to be install through the standard halium base install that I've provided

Might have to wait awile as will need to learn how to do that...looks tricksy for my skills and assume beyond just installing through twrp

or am I making it sound worse than it is
Not yet mastered the ssh stuff yet and looked at this https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/installing-16-04.html and thought...hmm no!

brill...best update it then. SSH - tried that...got nowhere even using the wiki....beyond my skills. will have to wait until the mtp is fixed

Ok, thanks.
By the way, UT on the 3T works great! The only things I'm missing are the camera and a torch. But that is not keeping me away for using it as my daily driver. So, my daughter can get my E5.

Did you manage to get the Bluetooth or ringtone working.

Also @ernest is your new kernel in the latest build or do we have to follow another route to sort that?

@ernest I take it I cannot do this on the 3t (sorry to sound dim) Happy to help if I can

shame really.not wanting to start an issue but these I always found useful especially when @rubencarneiro sorted them out again

@ma My recollection is that reinstalling via UBports does NOT wipe data

By way of an update I had a little bit of time again to play around with this and following the excellent help from @mateo_salta managed to get somewhere.

A little headache with the install since the UBPorts installer had changed meant that I had to go back a step and follow the instructions right at the top

Ie wipe phone with twrp PLUS change the file type where I could in twrp to EXT4 then reran the UBports installer and it worked again!

The next trick involved reading instructions a little clearly as to try to install the Openstore click using the first link we had did not work (it was not for 64bit!) so using @mateo_salta google drive I managed to download it then install via the terminal using the pkcon instruction above.

Bingo

Open store Downloaded and installed as well as UT Tweak

Now to add some functionality as I note I still need some more apps.

Camera I can confirm does not take pictures on my device (yet) but it does open and switch cameras

Lots to do and cant wait to get cracking again on this.

Smaller update. I note a few things:

Updates via Open store dont seem to want to work even though the system is writeable and also the device is not picked up when plugged into a laptop.

All fixable I am sure.

In the meantime I have got lots more apps installed and noticed all my older apps are not working even though they installed via the Openstore ...thats for later!

Strange it is the web apps with ogra containers that dont work

@joe Oooh and did that let you download and install then or did you come up with permission issues?

@Flohack said in Pinephone tutorial:

in case you messed up

Outragious!...but sadly so true

@joe Used to be

sudo click unregister --user=phablet PACKAGE-NAME

or hold and long press on the app if it is in the dash

@pglushkov hmmmm yes fear that is correct over to you @bsdfreak

@pglushkov On the old version I used from @OMGUbuntu here

I had to allow it in the terminal

pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted openstore.openstore-team_0.103_armhf.click

Not convinced that will still work or is the correct version.

@bsdfreak oh cool thanks...did/does that make the OpenStore installation work? I remember this from previous earlier openstore installations before UBports really kicked in

@bsdfreak Yes I had that when I installed it. I also had the double triple reboot until it kicked into shape and booted and boy was it fast. You can see here from a twitter video when I did it later last week it was very fast and really responsive.
twitter video

Regarding 64 bit apps I heard from @CiberSheep via twitter
"plain qml apps will work. Other apps need recompilation for target architecture. OpenStore is in the work for serving multiarch clicks." all of which is good new.

I also tried to install open store but got error messages ...in fact lots of errors installing anything....but that will come. The main thing is that it works. Wifi etc ..mobile/ data needed a reboot again but over all. Job well done

@Flohack I suppose this makes it much easier to comprehend as it is in reality like a small pc. Booting (as if you had hit F12 etc) straight to bootable image like we used to do with pen drives, DVD, CDs and yes...floppies

Really helpful and clear thanks @lduboeuf

Dead helpful and really clear
Thanks
