@doniks I was thinking that could be part of the issue but the part in the parenthesis indicates it was fixed 10/28/18
yeah, saw that. seems it wasn't really fixed ... I guess ... I had to do it and I also had a newer rootfs
@tigerpro said in Porting to Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910P:
@doniks I have some mostly good news, I did the first few things in the link you provided, I now get the Ubuntu Touch boot screen with the scrolling dots, I have yet to get it to go any further than that though. I can ssh in so I dont fully know if this is the spinner that is referred to or if it a different screen all together.
That's great! And yes, that is the "spinner" (I had the same question:) ).
I think what I had to do at that point was the stuff about /run/user/32011 - it's in the FAQ. You should see something about it in the logs: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/common-problems-run.html#getting-more-mir-logs
@tigerpro said in Porting to Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910P:
@doniks thank you for the link, I will look through it and try the relevant parts. I think I may have tried these before and went from a booting device to a bootloop device,
well, there is no guarantee that it will happen again, but I guess it's still a step forward. Next step would then be hunting down the specific reason for the boot loop
fwiw, this is the selection of things I took from the faq:
https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/22
take frameworks/native and bionic from the porting-faq
rm graphics-android-caf.so.10
fix /run/user/32011 (porting-faq)
fix dbus-daemon-launch-helper (porting-faq)
but that could be a different thing I had tried previously. I did get the latest edge roots from that though so I will try that first and go from there. I hope to have an update soon.
good luck
I was using the telegram for awhile however most of the people on there that try to help me end up either guiding me to a bootloop or don't know enough to fully help yet so I try to keep that as a last resort now. I do need to fix my repo though with all my tweaks so far.
I hear you. I personally also like the format of a forum or a mailing list, where you can formulate a more elaborate question or answer and have the full context of the conversation. But I think many people prefer tg, at least I have often gotten the answer I was needed on tg eventually.
I think the best known way right now is this faq:
https://pad.ubports.com/p/porting-faq and of course the bunch of smart people in the ubports porting telegram chat

Any news on UT/Unity8 on x86 laptops?
@blanca12 you realise that the q&a has already taken place, right?! And you realise that your question is actually verbatim my question that was asked in time and answered in the show? I suggest you go watch the recording. Link is in the first post.
@olliprivat the wifi version is "flo" not "deb". Select flo in the installer
@guru you are right that it should. that doesn't necessarily mean that it successfully does so in all cases :(
It seems there is some github clean-up going on: cleaning up unnecessary access rights and taking care of old pull requests. Maybe you want to issue a call to arms as well, that people should check their old issues?!
I checked mine recently and found I could close a couple outdated/unreproducible ones.
