RE: GloDroid - cefre00 - 08-01-2020

Thank you for the info, but for me it does not work at all: Exec format error...
Any idea what the issue is?

EDIT:
I think the problem is that I am trying this from the PBP. I tried to install adb and android-tools from the repo, but there is a version difference between libprotobuf-lite.so and android-tools. I did not find a solution yet.
Problem is I can't run an sh executable on Windows 10 right? Big Grin

Sounds like you're running into this issue when installing adb. Maybe a different distro might help but I'm running x86 linux so can't really advise.

Have you tried flashing the pre-built image for 0.2.0 instead?

RE: GloDroid - paju1986 - 08-01-2020

I installed the v 0.3 to the sdcard, but something weird happens, the screen flikers a lot, and some colos leaves traces on the display. I think hw acceleration is not enabled... im on the ubports edition pinephone.

Yes, this issue has been reported on github. Setting a dark theme and increasing screen brightness seems to help.

I concur. Try using a spin of Debian, if you can:

Code:
apt install adb fastboot

Debian has always worked perfectly for me when using these tools - hopefully they work for you on ARM64.

Yes, and that works from the SD card! Smile
Can it be updated OTA to 0.3?

No ota update but you can try generating an image file with this script. Save it to where you extracted 0.3.0 and run it - if it completes successfully, flash the resultant sdcard.img file to your card and see if it boots

This thread on usb tethering appears to be a related issue.

I am writing now from glodroid 0.3 . Smile Thanks for the advice, the sricpt was great, easy stuff and after a restart the OS is just awesome. On phosh you don't get to see this phone so smooth. I hope this one gets further developed.

I did not think I would run android on the pinephone, but until a Linux distro is mature enough I might just do so. Smile

EDIT:
Amazing, how well it runs. As soon as it has telephony it goes to the eMMC right away.

Thank you for the link to the script!

However, I'm afraid it doesn't complete successfully: in the end, I get an error message saying that it can't find the file "vbmeta.img", and indeed it doesn't appear to exist anywhere. Where do I find it, or how do I create it?
