@preflex thanks a lot!
Is there a way to close all the stuff gracefully? Meaning, I ran DeskChroot.sh and now want to close all XFCE etc sessions and restore the pre-start_xwayland status?

Does anyone else have the issue that the airplane mode is "shown" after running manjaro? I guess its not really going into airplane mode, as mobile internet is still working, but the symbol is shown.

Edit: i also noticed that the phone doesn't reboot properly (get's stuck and needs 10-sec power-off button press) to start normally after running DeskChroot.sh

Before you exit out of the chroot, from terminal do a ps to see what is running. Kill all the processes related to wayland and such. I just did that and turned phone off and on with no problem. Also everything was unmounted. Would be nice to have scripts to automate this and unmount file system to make it a nice clean process. Can try later when I have some time.

EDIT: Actually, if you do a shutdown from the desktop everything is unmounted. Then just kill kwin/wayland related processes from terminal.

After testing your rootfs more thoroughly, I noticed that neither firefox nor chromium can access the internet. Chromium gives the error "err_internet_disconnected".

However, pacman and others can access the internet.

Is it possible that chromium/firefox rely e.g on networkmanager/connman do detect the availability of internet?

P.S.: I'm using the rootfs from a sdcard and already noticed that some problems that I encountered are related to that. However, I guess that I solved most of them by remounting the sdcard using "mount -o remount,suid,exec,dev .... " before calling DeskChroot.

Hi. Chromium seems to work fine on my Jolla 1 phone. I think the main problems using Jolla phone is that the screen is a bit small for this (indeed, I've been pecking away on the keyboard with a stylus...) and the ram (only 1 GB) makes it a bit slow and possibly unstable (freezes at times).

Been playing with the tablet a bit. Still can't get kwin to work. It is possible there is an error with the wayland software. This is the error I get.

[destroyed object] error 0; invalid format 0x34325258
Disabling glamor and dri3, EGL set up failed

I found this recent bug report

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99791

Perhaps the same as problem I'm having. I'm not sure cause all this is above my pay grade...

Not sure what to try at this point. Maybe earlier version of software or VNC. Anyone have success using VNC? If so perhaps some instructions would be helpful. Thanks!

Yippee! There was an update that fixed this bug! Xwayland now working for Archlinux on the Jolla Tablet. Amazing! I now have Sailfish, Android apps and Archlinux at my immediate disposal on a tablet that Jolla couldn't deliver, that a Chinese friend bought from Taobao and delivered to me for $200! Unbelievable! I've gotten half the refund. There is still a chance for the remaining half! The story goes on... Sorry about rambling on and on... One more thing. I love Jolla!

Since you are using Nexus 5, I would suggest you try the Manjaro version just to get started and see it work. Then move on as Manjaro will not have support in the near future.

You may notice errors about mount points in /home/nemo not being found. If you would like to share these directories with the chroot, create those directories inside the chroot.

You can find the preconfigured Manjaro rootfs here: https://github.com/Preflex/easy-chroot/releases

To use with the helper scripts, unpack it in /opt/easychroot/Manjaro

This rootfs contains helper scripts in /usr/share/easychroot/scripts/
The start_xwayland.sh contains hardcoded values for my Nexus 4's screen. If you are using a different device, you will need to edit the last line of this script, substituting the height and width values for your device.
Great work there. Tested now and it worked on my Nexus 5 too. Running 2.0.4.13 SFOS. But i get an errors when starting some apps inside manjaro. Chromium does not start too.

UPDATE.
nevermind got it fixed.
if anyone needs you must run this command to fix permissions and run chromium
sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm

You had little error in usr/share/easychroot/scripts/start_desktop.sh

was !#/bin/bash must be #!/bin/bash

Excellent! Is there a release image of 2.0.4.13, or do you have to OTA from 2.0.1.11? Asking for a friend.

Also, for users with high dpi screens, you may want to bump up the DPI if UI elements are too small.
The easiest way do this, open "KDE System Settings" (command: systemsettings5), open the "Fonts" panel, and enter a higher value for the DPI. It might help to do this as root as well, since kwin runs as root. I already bumped it up to 128 from the default of 96 in my preconfigured image, but on your 1080x1920 screen you might want more.

if anyone needs you must run this command to fix permissions and run chromium
sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm

Whoops! I'll be sure to fix those in the near future, once I have Archlinux working (kwin is just crashing on me). Thanks for the feedback! I should have the necessary bandwidth and time to work on it tonight or tomorrow. For now, you can just add "chmod 1777 /dev/shm" to one of the scripts. start_xwayland.sh seems like a good choice for that.
