GloDroid (Android-13)

[Shatur]

Is there still any development on GloDroid for the Pinephone? I wanted to use the phone as a fully De-Googled Android device with physical hardware switches while Linux distros mature a bit more. But seems like all Android development is abandoned

It is actively developing, it is just that development going in other branches (non master) and the activity is not visible on GitHub. Just recently a new release was released.

So, i have downloaded v0.6.0 and flashed deploy-sd-for-emmc.img to micro sd using Etcher. Triggered flash-emmc.sh via terminal and followed all the instructions. It gets to fastboot after you power off the device, remove the sd and power it back on and hit enter in terminal for the process to continue, but the terminal hangs on "Rebooting into fastboot <waiting for any device>".

I have adb installed successfully (currently on my x200 thinkpad running KDE Neon with all updates). Last time i tried with v0.5.1 it booted and installed all fine to emmc.

Any ideas?

The keyword for this release is "untested". Others have reported the same issue so will have to wait for the next build.

Right just thought i could at least install in past fastboot, but makes sense.

Are there any other places where android development for the pinephone is discussed more?

Someone asked a similar question on their issue tracker a while back.

Curious, any idea as to what state the current development is in?  i.e. calls, or wifi/bluetooth status etc?
I can't experiment myself until my pre-ordered pinephone arrives.  Right now I'm just trying to research everything.

Hi ! I'm currently using Glodroid v0.5.1 on the Pinephone, I'm wondering if TrustyOS is supported on this device ?

According to this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4299...d-keystore,
and the Trusty API, after generating a pair of keys, you can execute the method : "isInsideSecureHardware" to see if the keys are stored securely thanks to the TEE.

But on the Pinephone, this method always returns "false", while on several other recent devices, the same method returns "true" (for RSA keys for example).
Thanks !
