@franky32 it was the rootfs the one you used worked for me as well... just that i selected the wrong one the first time i tried after downloading it

@Litcornes i'll give it a try...

@Litcornes what android did you have on your phone? Maybe it's dependent on the version of android... even though i tried with 7...8 and lineage os 14.1...

@Litcornes did it boot up into the ubuntu interface? cause when i try that rootfs it spits out an error with the ssh.override missing...

@Litcornes btw... the armhf rootfs will most likely not work... from what i could see most librarys in the system image are 64 bit. So they won't load on the armhf version. You'll need the arm64 rootfs.
When i tried the armhf rootfs the system would boot and i could ssh into it... but lightdm wouldn't start properly.
On arm64 rootfs it doesn't boot... it keeps resetting.
Maybe you have more luck with it...
If you manage let me know what you did

@Litcornes i disabled the resize function in the halium-install script and i managed to finish the images and copy them to the phone.
The problem after that for me was that libgui.so library doesn't load... so lightdm keeps crashing.
Haven't done anything else with it...

You can disable the resize function in the file named core.sh in the functions folder of the halium-install cloned repository.

The line to comment out is this one
[ -f "$IMAGE_DIR/system.img" ] && sudo resize2fs -p -M "$IMAGE_DIR/system.img"

Just put a # in front of that line.

@epvnn i tried flashing lineageos first and afterwards "install" ubtouch... still no go.
I keep getting the libgui.so library non-loading from what i could see in the logs.

@epvnn didn't solve it... I'm thinking about letting it go and just learn java so i can make androud apps instead
Was planning on using ubuntu on the phone to run python scripts...
But it seems more hastle than it's worth...

@Guf if i use the armhf rootfs it does boot and i can get ssh access... just that almost nothing works

@Guf i've managed to flash the images by skipping the image resizing
Now the issue is that the screen just flashes a couple of times and it doesn't do anything after.
i can see the rndis_host getting setup with the ip but the actual link has an unknown state.
maybe the rootfs i'm using isn't good?
