@ubportsnews I managed to enter passcode with USB keyboard. Kudos to someone in the Telegram group for the idea.

@beidl Great work. Is having to run the command the only caveat (that you're aware of)?

@advocatux Thanks. I've joined both as a lurker for now. EDIT: Ah, bridged. I see what you mean now.

@beidl I also noticed the issue with the screen sometimes taking a long time to come on. I impatiently press the button lots, and the screen flashes on and off several times about 30 seconds later. It's almost exactly the same behaviour I was getting with my Nexus 7 (running LineageOS). Anyway, it doesn't look like it's far from being in a state where I can use it as an actual phone, so I look forward to the updates, particular around sound and calling. Thanks for all the hard work on this.

I used to be a software tester, so I'd be happy to help test (e.g. go through a checklist, or anything like that).

I've just tried it out, but I'm unable to make phone calls. I was able to receive a text from Vodafone (UK), and also check my balance, on-screen with *#1345#, but if I call 1345 (audio balance), it just hangs, and I am also unable to hang up. The device is still responsive, but pressing the button to hang up has no effect.

EDIT 1:

I tried to install Machines vs. Machines, and noticed there is no sound, so that is possibly also what's causing phone calls to hang as well. I followed the post-installation steps and double-checked I typed the right commands. The only extra command I did was a 'apt update'. I also checked that the installation of 'pulseaudio-modules-droid-24' persisted.

Environment:
Ubuntu 19.04 using the system's compiler rather than the prebuilt one.
