@phillip-walters Can you boot into recovery right after it locks up with PWR + VolUp, and then get the contents of /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops? We might try this

I remember our long faces when they told us, it wont have a cellular modem ^^

@rocket2nfinity said in Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners:

Nexus 6Ps who would love to get Ubuntu Touch, or any of the other halium based ports on it.

Great motivation, thanks. I am already chasing 2 devices. So sad that it might not be here for FOSDEM. I wanted to show it off on the conference but lets see

I am not really active on XDA, do you think it makes sense for UT people to hook up there with the "real" Android community?

You can suggest that, we are not in control of that Wiki

Thats interesting! Last year on FOSDEM I already met with their representative, I will try to catch her again this year for some updates

Update:

• In-Call audio works now
• GPS works now (was a faulty antenna on my device, it seems to have worked always already ;))

I will try to invest now time into camera. However, even without that its already quite usable.

@rocket2nfinity Well I changed battery, and that went fine, though one of the connectors became loose, so I planned another investigation for the next day.

On the next day, while being able to remove the parts which need to be warmed up with a hairdryer worked well, I could not get the cover off, and I used too much force and accidentially came between the screen and the PCB, instead between PCB and case. So the screen broke, and I have a full length of damaged area plus a crack in the screen.

I´m an idiot, I did not take out my contact lenses this eve, and so I couldnßt really see what I was doing

I wanted to get this as a daily driver, when I see that the porting status is well enough, but with that screen I cannot use it anymore. Instead I will look for a used one in medium condition, max € 100,-

It would be possible to change a screen (but then this unit also has the CPU bug and cannot run on all 8 cores, so I would not invest in it further) but I dont feel like doing this, or paying for that.

@Paul I am not sure what number you found, but its not any official number of our versioning:

• Ubuntu Touch is still based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial
• Our current update version is called OTA-11
• The installer has a separate version number, you might have found this, but its not related to the software version on the device

That said, it always makes sense to update to the latest

It took long but here we are: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone

So as we did for the Pinephone already there is now a "community porting hub" project in Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/raspberrypi - it will help tracking issues and visualizing progress and state.

I would ask someone from the community here to come up with an initial README.md that is roughly similar to https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone and helps starters to get a bootable system.

You are also free and welcome to start writing issues into the tracker there!
