GloDroid (Android-13)

[t2moo]

Do you have instructions or script to install Glodroid on pinephone?

Go to release page and click on assets dropdown arrow. For latest version, download gd-pinephone-v0.3.0.tar.gz and extract archive to a folder.

Then follow Deploying GloDroid instructions on main page but summarised:

1) flash sd card with  deploy-sd-for.emmc.img
2) insert sd card in phone and connect to pc with red usb cable
3) phone display will remain black but wait 10secs
4) open terminal on pc and goto directory where archive extracted
5) run install script, eg  bash ./flash-emmc.sh
6) when script pauses, hold power button for 10secs, disconnect cable
6) remove sd card, reconnect usb cable and press enter
7) phone will display fastboot menu and script will continue
8) if failure message, run install script again
9) if success message, reboot phone to start android

0) if adb not already installed on pc then  sudo apt install adb
X) don't want install to emmc? substitute with deploy-sd.img  
and flash-sd.sh

Z) some reports of usb issues which prevent deploy method of install - in which case, read this thread or download v0.20 and flash as a regular image

I used these directions to install GloDroid to an SDCard with success. I did the "step X)" in the instructions and substituted "deploy-sd.img" and "flash-sd.sh" in the process. There was a lot of informative script that I could monitor the progress by. At the end, my screen was blank for awhile, but I kicked back and watched the evening news and let the PinePhone do what it wanted. Eventually, the "Android" screen appeared and the rest is history. I'm liking this. Android is running on my SDCard only on the pre-Pro model PinePhone. It even runs Mullvad Wireguard VPN. My microphone does not seem to work, though, for my normal "Conversations" XMPP app. Wifi is working and so is F-Droid. Hypatia malware scanner works fine, too. The Android system navigation seems as fast as my regular Android phone. I know that I am running off of SDCard, maybe that is not the perfect test, and GloDroid is still in development. I wanted to try it before I flashed to emmc. This is as polished as the regular Android and runs just as fast even on the SDCard. Thanks GloDroid! Does anyone have their microphone working on the emmc flash?
