Sound works, Sensors work, GUI works
No WiFi, No Bluetooth, No Cellular

I am still trying to make WiFi work. Will give manifest file and install instructions.

@lakotaubp yes, GSI didn't work for me. I built halium-boot.img and system.img
The device boots into Lomiri UI, apps work.
All the other stuff doesn't work. I will start from scratch.

GUI loads. The device is very very slow.
No WiFi, No Bluetooth, No SIM, No GPS, No Sound

Hello everyone. First time trying port.

I followed this documentation:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/H9_build.html

My manifest file for the device is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest> 
    <remote name="hassan556"
            fetch="https://github.com/hassan556/"
            revision="refs/heads/halium-9.0" />
    
    <project path="device/xiaomi/tissot" name="android_device_xiaomi_tissot" remote="hassan556" />
    <project path="device/xiaomi/msm8953-common" name="android_device_xiaomi_msm8953-common" remote="hassan556" />

    <project path="kernel/xiaomi/msm8953" name="android_kernel_xiaomi_msm8953" remote="hassan556" />

    <project path="vendor/xiaomi" name="proprietary_vendor_xiaomi" remote="hassan556" />
</manifest>

My device was Android 9 before starting to port. I tried 2 methods:

1. I flashed TWRP, installed ubports_GSI, then flashed halium-boot.img.
2. Downloaded rootfs and GSI as it mentioned in the docs, installed with halium-install script, then flashed halium-boot.img

Both methods work and I have access to device ssh.

The problem is device stuck in bootloader. As I understood lxc doesn't start properly.

I can get the logs you need to debug.

Thanks.

@flohack said in [Porting] Call for Testers:

if you get telnet mode then rootfs.img was not placed correctly. Dont know what happened with your halium-install, probably you also could not push due to an excess blank in my command ? Please delete all from data and retry the procedure, we must find a way it works for all users

somehow adb doesn't continue after 90% of pushing rootfs.img with the halium-install. I tried several times.

@turanmahmudov set time manually and the certification error is gone

WIFI works but I get certificate error when I visit any website. OpenStore doesn't work either because of the certificate error. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for the port btw, I was waiting for this to test my apps

@turanmahmudov worked. changed my usb cable and ran these 3 commands manually:

adb push rootfs.img /data/
adb push system.img /data/
adb shell "mv /data/system.img /data/android-rootfs.img"

@flohack I reboot several times, did the all processes again, no doesn't work.
