Can we install Touch os on redmi Note 9 ?

Its not 9s or 9 Pro or pro max

Just simple note 9
is it possible ?

I used crossbuilder to build my changes in lomiri-systems-settings and it built arm64 based deb packages.But I am getting this error while installing them onto the phone

Unpacking lomiri-system-settings (1.0.2+1local~1699268765) over (1.0.1+0~20231003095806.181+ubports20.04~1.gbp8b9442) ...

@lduboeuf

I am using crossbuilder t omake deb packages of lomirisystem-settings it built the packages but having issues installing it on ubports-pdk VM for testing
where can i specify my own version of the package
currently version 1.0.2+ is installed

Can i edit files directly on the phone ?
I checked under /usr/share/lomiri-system-settings
some files are present in qml-plugin but some src files are not there ?

It seems that these packages have conflict
libqt5quick5-gles with libqt5quick5
libqt5gui5-gles with libqt5gui5

okay I managed to build the lomiri-systems-settings-1.0.2.deb package and installed it.
Now for some reason I cant open any of the apps like calculator, phone, system-settings when i click on them inside the VM ?
wonder whats wrong
I have restarted the VM but still cant run any app

Note: It was not building the systems-settings package and was complaining about these packages
libqt5quick5-gles
libqt5gui5-gles

so I removed these packages and it built fine.

Question#2: Can we run this pdk VM inside another Ubuntu VM ?

@arubislander Thanks

Yes I can see it .
So I guess I can use adb shell and setup ssh using ssh keys as per the documentation
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html

@lduboeuf

Thanks. lets see what I can accomplish under the circumstances.
I am running the pdk VM now and as first step I am just trying to transfer files from my host pc and the pdk VM.
so trying to get ssh and scp commands to work. what is the ip address of the VM ??. I can see two interfaces like

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have experience of using ubports-pdk for building various system components or apps.
I am trying to change the UI for lomiri-systems-settings and need some help with pdk

Thanks

@lduboeuf Thanks

well I dont have any answers at the moment just questions
I though this lomiri system settings will be a stand alone app with just the UI and no hardware/device connection .
Actually I just want to change the background ,foreground colors and some icons only so just cosmetics changes and dont intend to change functionality

@lduboeuf Thanks

Actually I tried to install it in chroot environment not directly on my host and it complained about missing dependencies.
Is this not the right way to do ? as the title of this link
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/systemdev/testing-locally.html
says "making changes and testing them locally "

I tried to do dpkg -i lomiri-system-settings_1.0.2_amd64.deb
and it complained about missing dependency packages which were under depends: section in the control file like
Depends:
accountsservice,
accountsservice-ubuntu-schemas (>= 0.0.7),
bluez (>= 5.23),
click | ubuntu-snappy-cli,

I thought these required packages are automatically installed in chroot during build process No ?

the goal is to test my changes locally first

@lduboeuf Thanks

Actually I used the native option and not the arm64 because I wanted to test my changes locally on the PC before making a deb package for the phone.
So I guess the flow would be

make changes locally ,
build amd64 package
install and run it in chroot environment (if its possible )
once happy with the changes build a deb package for the phone

Ok searched the internet and found this option to use with sbuild --no-clean-source

Now it built the deb packages in the parent directory.out of these many deb packages there is one called lomiri-system-settings_1.0.2_amd64.deb I guess this is the one to use.

Now a theoretical question: this package was built for my host amd64 architecture meaning I can install and run it on my PC ?

Then i will make changes in qml files , build it again and see the changes on my PC ?

After that I will just copy modified qml src files to my phone .

I hope this process flow is correct ??
