      • Adequate Mir performance
      • Full ofono/rild support
      • Passing most hybris tests

      Known issues:

      • Unable to enumerate rotation status and updates
      • Calling doesn't work
      • Audio doesn't work
      • Camera doesn't work
      • Click package support incomplete

      The full build instructions are available on the Halium project management issue page.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch on Sony Xperia X

      Calling now works (with caveats). For the time being you need a test version of telepathy-ofono on your device to enable calling:

      sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_haliumfixup

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch on Sony Xperia X

      As we are approaching full support the build and flash instructions on https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/98 have been updated.
      This should get you a working image with audio support.

      Remaining issues:

      • Media player support (videos in Morph Browser work fine)
      • Camera

    • [Testing] NFC for Halium 9 ports

      Hey! I have something new to play around with for people on Halium 9 builds of Ubuntu Touch: you can now test your device for NFC functionality!
      The only prerequisite is that your device needs to be on the devel-based rootfs, not the edge one.

      To install:

      sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_android9_-_nfcd
      sudo mount -o remount,rw /
      sudo apt install nfcd nfcd-tools nfcd-binder-plugin nfcd-repowerd-plugin
      

      To get console output from nfcd:

      sudo stop nfcd
      sudo /usr/sbin/nfcd -p /usr/lib/nfcd/plugins -v
      

      App developers can try the QtNFC integration module to develop apps based on this technology. This requires the following change to be made to the rootfs before it can be used by (currently only unconfined) apps:

      sudo mount -o remount,rw /
      sudo apt install qml-module-qtnfc
      

      The API documentation is located here: https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.9/qtnfc-qmlmodule.html

      Please use this thread to share your experience with NFC enablement and even ask for help.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch on Sony Xperia X

      I've prepared a new image to test with working Audio.

      Same installation instructions apply, you need halium-install to flash the current rootfs.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch on Sony Xperia X

      @chriswyatt Thanks for testing! I've noticed audio to be flaky as well and I assumed it had to do with not-yet-committed changes. Luckily that's not the case, so that's good for finding the bug.

      Currently calling doesn't work for any Halium 7.1 based port using the default ofono shipped in Ubuntu Touch, so it might take some time until calling is fully fleshed out.

      I've found a fix for the screen sometimes taking seconds to turn on, which is what I'll incorporate soon. In addition to sound I'll also take another look at the camera.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch on Sony Xperia X

      I've assembled an image for those who are interested in testing and contributing to Ubuntu Touch.

      Downloads:
      Current: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a3JtU2TIFg7E53z2pHoveOtOj7LYxJyW

      https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OJjTosp7jFaYhEYYkB9Mxf3lA0HPIXY6

      Instructions (tested on Ubuntu 18.04):

      • Linux PC with adb and fastboot properly set up
      • Recent UBPorts rootfs image from the edge devel channel (tested with build #88):
        https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-rootfs-armhf/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/out/ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz
      • TWRP Recovery (tested with version 3.2.3-0)
      • Android 7.1 (Kernel 4.4) Loire OEM binaries
      • Flash script: halium-install

      After successfully flashing the recovery image the OEM binaries need to be flashed onto the oem partition:

      unzip SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.zip
      fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img
      

      System images:

      ./halium-install -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img
      adb reboot bootloader
      fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
      fastboot reboot
      

      Post-installation steps

      Either make sure to properly set up the USB-Ethernet connection OR enter the commands in the Terminal app.

      USB Ethernet:

      0_1540657764809_Bildschirmfoto von 2018-10-27 18-28-39.png

      SSH shell connection:

      ssh phablet@10.15.19.82
      

      Enable audio in calls

      # Mount rootfs read-write
      sudo mount -o remount,rw /
      
      # Install updated packages
      # When asked to override maintainer files just answer with Y
      sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_haliumfixup
      sudo apt install pulseaudio-modules-droid-24 pulseaudio-modules-droid-glue-24
      
      # Mount rootfs read-only and reboot
      sync && sudo mount -o remount,ro / && sudo reboot

      @Duhjoker the Pixel 3a is now officially in the installer, should be easy to get going now! Make sure to downgrade your phone as per instructions first.

    • RE: SMS and call audio not working

      @fredldotme I've implemented a workaround by NotKit that allows the phone to have stable telephony and SMS for a longer period of time. It will eventually run into the same problem but it's not within 24 hours but more in a few weeks. Should give us some time for a proper fix.

      The workaround should be in the current devel channel releases.

      @luksus possibly need to set the bootctl flag from within the recovery too? It would need a few components not shipped by default in the recovery though.

      @luksus How many tries does the bootloader give you until it falls back to the other slot? I have successfully enabled booting on an A/B device so I'm surprised it's not working.
