Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

@claustn

I forgot to ask. As you are still using wip0.16, do you experience any issues regarding the incoming/outgoing calls? Thanks.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I have created the new (potentially last) build (wip0.20) which is available in my signature.

Including the connman-tools by default has fixed the bluetooth, but for be able to change the date & time we still need to re-install the timed-qt5.

So, this is it, I hope you find my work useful. (I have been using my builds as daily driver since wip0.13. And I am quite happy with the previous one wip0.19.)

I would like to say a !!!MASSIVE!!! Thank you to @mautz! Without him this build probably never happened. I had the idea how to bring back AD and HW acceleration with the latest Sailfish features and libraries, but he has the knowledge and with his guidance I was able to achieve what I wanted. So, again THANK YOU!

(Funny because I wrote 'my work' however I was only the hand who done what @mautz suggested. :D.)

I also would like to highlight @juiceme too who helped out at the beginning.
And of course everybody else who helped with testing the builds: @claustn, @sailor, @nickh
Plus @TheRealJohnGalt because I used many things from his repo.

Now I hope would like to go to OBS then I am planning to do OTA updates too. If anybody (other than me :D) is interested.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I have tried the MTP on wip0.19 and got the same result. I will try to look into it and report back.

Last night I also tested the battery on wip0.19. For me the battery dropped 2% over 7 hours but I kept the Battery Log open all night long and the phone probably was trying to refresh messages from whatsapp, messenger lite, telegram and email. (I put the phone into airplane mode so I am not sure whether these processes are smart enough to not wake up the device if there is no active internet connection and the screen is off.)

I am not sure whether this is good or not so good but I am happy with this result. :)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Next week i'll have access to my N5 again, i'll ask in #sailfish-porters for help regarding the video issue and look into the mtp issue, if you guys haven't solved it until then.

@edp17

If you could uüpload a few files from your buil, i'd like to setup a test repo in my OBS account to check if the OTA bug is also gone.

If everything is fine, we'll ask for your own OBS account.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

This sounds like a plan to me. :) I would be glad if the video is solved because I can pick up one of my dropped task. :-)

All of my work is in github. I am happy to send you the files but I think much easier if you take that you need from my github repos. There are some extra repos for my next work but everything is related has the hammerhead in the repo name. (As usual :))

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I think share my plans for the future as you may/will/can/want help in them :D.
(Apologies if some of this is a little bit off topic.)

1. OBS and OTA for my Nexus 5 build:
   I would like to secure my work as an OBS build, reduce the used disk space on my computer and be prepared for the future OTA updates for my build. If it is interested for anybody else than me. :)
   Once my work is secured in OBS, I can start working on a build for my other device.
   
   
2. Anbox:
   Unfortunately the video recording issue has ruined my planned step which was trying to make the video working in android apks on Nexus 5. I wanted to try the video call with android apks, but if the video doesn't work in the native app, it won't work in android apps either. :( However if @mautz could iron this out with the #sailfishos-porter guys, this might be back on the table again.
   As @mautz said, changing the base to a newer might solve this issue, but in that case I will lose AD and won't be able to use the substitution apks.
   
   ...Unless we make Anbox working on the newer base. :D
   
   A few days ago I came accross with a post on xda regarding Sailfish OS on Yu Yureka Black with anbox! This is an early phase and not ready for daily use but is something that we can try to progress forward.
   
   I have contacted the person who posted that on xda but he was only using the Anbox package that was built by somebody else, birdzhang. (I remember this name from the openrepos as there are some very good apps from this developer.)
   Therefore I contacted birdzhang too and he confirmed that he used 14.1 as android base. So if we would like to try to utilize Anbox on Nexus 5, it might make sense to move forward to LOS14.1 base.
   
   However this all sounds super exciting and I'd loved to work on porting Sailfish for Nexus 5 with this new base but unfortunately this would be complicated for me as the newer base won't install in multirom. :( (I don't really like the idea to build something that I cannot test on my device.)
   
   In case of anybody is interested to try to build for LOS14.1:
   device tree LOS14.1
   kernel tree LOS14.1
   vendor tree LOS14.1
   
   
3. Sailfish OS for my Galaxy S7 (herolte):
   This is not really interesting for you unless you have a Galaxy S7. :)
   (I will not post about this here as not at all related to the Nexus 5 and will use a different base LOS15.1. By the way, should I/Can I open a new topic for this work? Is there any interest from you guys?)
   Once I have a working Sailfish on my S7, with birdzhang's help I will step forward to Anbox. :)
   I hardly can wait to start! :D
   
   
4. Sailfish OS for my Galaxy S2 (i9100):
   Pretty much the same as the S7.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I got a few questions regarding the AD.
The base I used in my build is CM12.1 which is Android 5.1 Lolipop.

• Why does our AD which is KiKat 4.4.4 work on this base?
• And why doesn't it work on CM13?
• Does the AD work better on CM11 base? If so, maybe my original idea of using CM12.1 was wrong and I should have used the CM11 instead!? :eek:

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Read this thread https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=98800
The user @matemana packaged AD for Nexus 4 and 5, try to contact him

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thank you.
I think I did. A few months ago I contacted a guy called matusala on xda regarding the AD. I think the two nick covers the same person as he told me he worked on AD for Nexus 4 and packaged it for Nexus 5 too.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Yes, it's the same person.

I'm not sure if Anbox will work due to the old kernel version the Nexus has. But i only tried it once and didn't get far.

I'm thinking about trying to make a new port for the Nexus using cm16 as base.

I think that some things in the base android system have changed since cm12.1 so that AD isn't able to run, maybe reverting some commits could help to get it working, but it would be very hard to find out which ine to revert. Getting Anbox working would be much better, because many new Android Apps need at least Android 5.0 to work...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thank you for confirming my suspicion. :)

I wouldn't use cm16 yet. At least that is not 100% on my S7. 15.1 was rock solid and still is a very good base, so I would go for that one. But, unfortunately that doesn't install in multirom so not an option for me. Unless I port Sailfish to my S7. In that case I can play with my Nexus 5 so will not be tied to the multirom anymore. :)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Just a hint on this one.
I have asked birdzhang about which base (14.1 or 15.1) I should chose for my S7 port where later he can help me with the Anbox. He confirmed that Anbox (currently) only works with 14.1 base.
So, if you would like to make somehow Anbox work on Nexus 5, I would go for this base rather than cm16.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thanks for the hint!

I just checked the needed kernel options for Anbox, and many of were introduced in the 4.x kernel line. I think it is near to get Anbox running on 3.4 kernel which the Nexus uses. But i'll take a deeper look into it.

EDIT: Seems like the UbuntuTouch guys got it running with 3.4 kernel. Maybe i should get in touch with them.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Yeah, as far as I remember I needed to install a patched kernel to make Anbox running on Nexus 5. That kernel is available here We can try to flash this on a secondary Sailfish rom check whether Sailfish still works with it. Or maybe as you said, easier to contact Marius about the necessary kernel changes.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Now I have started working on my next build for the S7 and came across with this graphics performance improvements in the hadk-faq.
I added that extra line (QPA_HWC_IDLE_TIME=5) into the '/var/lib/environment/compositor/droid-hal-device.conf' and it indeed reduced the red lines in my frame rate test. (There were not so many before but I got now even less.)
So, I recommend this little extra manual work to you as well.

Note: I have tried the other QPA_HWC_BUFFER_COUNT=3 line too, but it made the frame rate test a bit worse, so I removed this and only kept the idle_time one.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thanks, i'll check that, when i have access to my Nexus...fetching LineageOS14.1 at the moment...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Good stuff! :)
Yesterday I have managed to compile the kernel but building the hybris failed at the beginning. Fortunately I have found a good place where from some kernel patches are available and in the hadk-faq there is a hint for why the hybris build failed. Today, I will try again. Once I have a build that I can install and test, I will open a topic for that because don't want to litter this one with my S7 troubles. :)

By the way, from my github repo have you managed to get the files what you need for testing the OBS? If not, please let me know what you need and I will send over.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I'll keep the fingers crossed for your build!

I need some rpms of your local repo, i'll tell you next week which files i need.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thank you. :)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I have got a question.

If I build a sailfish with cm-12.1 base, can I use any 5.1 android image (for the same device of course) to flash "under" my sailfish build?

(We always use the cm-12.1-20160704-UNOFFICIAL-hammerhead-nocheck.zip for the underlying android but when I tried a 2015 version, the phone stuck on the Google logo.)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

@mautz
Did you managed to solve the issue you got? How is your CM14.1 build going?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Hi @claustn,
I have fixed the MTP issue. It was kernel related. I applied the necessary patch and as far as I tested it works. Please flash the kernel from my signature or install wip0.21.
I hope this helps.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Have you thought about not using a base at all? There has been an effort to add mainline support for the nexus 5.here also I now have a dev machine and my Nexus 5 is available as a secondary device that I can use for experimentation, maybe it's time to get it going again.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I am sure you can install a mainline kernel on the Nexus 5. Maybe that is challenging maybe not but is possible.
But if we don't use android base, Sailfish cannot communicate with the hardware.
However writing drivers are possible too, but you need to write every single one of them and there are no documentation because those are proprietary.
The guys at Replicant are rewriting android drivers but they do support only a handful of devices and not all drivers they were able to reverse engineer. Plus, I use that Replicant 6 (Android 6 equivalent) on my Galaxy S2-i9100 but there are lots of 'the app stopped' error and some apps doesn't start or immediately ends. In my personal opinion the OS is usable, but Sailfish is better. (I hope soon can start working on this port too :).)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Not far, have to sort out some errors regarding hybris-hal build at the moment.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thank you.
I have managed to compile the kernel (got some suggestions from the guys at sailfishos-porters) then I built two sailfishos image. None of them boots. The phone stuck at the Samsung logo. And none of them gets mac address/ip address either. So telnet doesn't work, I need to manually assign a mac address and bring up the network to be able to telnet in to the phone. Then, I can start journal and see messages but mostly look ok, so I am puzzled why it doesn't continue the init process. :eek:

Edit: probably the selinux is not disabled and that is the problem.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

In case you are interested the patch for fixing the MTA. It is available here.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Any suspicious in dmesg output? What happens if you try to start the lipstick service?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Well, I am not there yet. As far as I saw some drives are not mounted properly either. Probably I wanted to include too many things to the beginning and didn't double check that some sub modules were pointing to old mer-hybris repos. Plus, although the kernel is compiled but still not ready for booting up Sailfish. (Selinux is definitely misconfigured in there.)

And you? Managed to make progress on the hybris-hal build?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Yes, hybris-hal finished without errors. But hadn't the time to create the configs. Maybe later or tommorow.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Well done! I am happy for your progress. :)

For me it is interesting because all (kernel, hybris-hal, packaging, build) finished without error but my image (3rd one) still stuck on the logo. (I just installed and checked with trying to start the phone but haven't got the chance to check whether I can telnet into the last one because I fell asleep.)
Probably there was(were) problem(s) otherwise it would start normally, but I expect the image to boot up if all steps in hadk completes without error. Well, as somebody said to me, porting isn't an easy task. :)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

@mautz
I know you are busy with your cm14.1 port but I appreciated if you could let me know when your are going to set the mentioned test repo up in your OBS. And what files you need from me. Thank you.
(Don't want to urge you at all, I just asked.)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

@edp17

These are the files i need, i hope i didn't forgot anything.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

I have sent a PM. Thank you for trying this for me.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Thanks!

Do you have a package called droid-hal-hammerhead-users on your system? Should be in your local repo folder. Could you upload it please?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Sorry, I was away on a family event. PM has sent.

If you want to test, here are the repos:

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Here this project is using latest linux kernel on Nexus 5.X It does not use any android parts of the system. It's an amzing project but it does not work well enough for daily driver YET. That's real desktop linux for phone. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/G...(lg-hammerhead)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Hi matemana, good to see you here again. From my other account I sent you a pm on xda about a month ago. I am not sure you have seen that. :)

Unfortunately the PMOS doesn't work with multirom. (I have tried to extract the kernel, rootfs and other stuff then extract the rootfs. At the end it didn't boot and I just messed up my Sailfish rom that I used for this experiment. :rolleyes:)
Then I have tried PMOS (xfce4) on my S2 (i9100) but didn't really work too much in there. Probably the Nexus 5 development is more advanced but as it doesn't work with multirom...

Edit: The link is broken in your post. (The closure ) is missing.) Here is the good one: PMOS for hammerhead

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview
 

Are you sure this adaptation-community-common shouldn't be adaptation-community-common-hammerhead?

(Previously we have added two repos: adaptation-community-hammerhead and adaptation-community-common-hammerhead)
Thanks.
