The UBPorts have instructions that include "flash halium-boot.img" on the documents under "Generic System Image (GSI). So confirming it is still required to build halium or not?

Secondly I have gotten further with finding the missing packages for building halium-boot but I am now missing module "telephony-ext" required by "platform-bootclasspath" so does anyone know where to get the module and what it expects it to be under (i.e. hardware/qcom?)

Thanks in advance

The documentation of your target distro should have instructions for that, i would recommend checking there

well if your targetting halium 14, you don't need to build halium, starting halium 9 the halium images are GSI's you just need to modify your kernel for your target distro

It was originally 8.1, currently the device im planning on testing with is running 14 with lineage 21.

I was targeting a halium 14 build as lineage has a v21 release and thought it would still be beneficial to target the latest build possible.

I believe it should also be able to use gsi images as far as I can see.

Hi all, I am asking to see if anyone can help with building halium for a new device. I am trying to build for the Razer Phone 2 (aura) and have gotten to making the boot image.

I am getting an error for a missing library "libwifi_hal_vendor".

The past in for what I have currently don't is: pastebin.com/7uubNR6H

join the link UT-specific group already linked above your message, you're supposed to be using https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android9/motorola-sdm660/motorola-lake as per UBports standalone kernel port building documentation

you should continue on /channel/ubports_porting because any further steps are specific to UT

Halium

i think you can start with whichever correspond with the lineage os you have running and see how far you get

sounds good, thanks for the feedback— we'll also improve the docs (or if you would like to help with that, the repo for the ubports docs is at gitlab.com/ubports/docs/docs.ubports.com)

since halium 9, we have a halium GSI, which means we no longer need to build halium per device

Halium

if you look at https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/get-sources.html and https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/build-sources.html, there are sections for 5.1 and 7.1 and not for others, I was really confused about that

Halium

30 October 2025 15:48

the section below that describe basically what treble does

I was trying to build halium because I thought if I succeed it would help debug ubport problem. But docs are really confusing about versions, looking at this table for example my first thought was using halium 13 because the device supports los latest versions, but now I see this is wrong. Nowhere in docs I think "treble" is mentioned, so I dont even know what is pre os pos-treble.

I'm already running lineageos. I tried ubports, managed to generate imgs but got bootloop. Them I tried halium 7.1 and halium 9.0 with lineageos repos for 15.1 and 22.0, got a lot of errors, fixed some, and couldnt generate any image. So I wanted to make sure which versions of halium and lineageos repo should I try to focus on.

@Fuseteam Okay, thanks

Halium

07 November 2025 01:07

@Fuseteam So how does that work, do I just use "setup arm64"?

Halium

06 November 2025 07:19

@Fuseteam Also just going to add I do need to go so still not be back on until tomorrow to continue troubleshooting but will still try to respond if able.

Hey guys im trying to get the build the kernel and flash it onto a moto g7 power "ocean" using the moto g7 plus"lake" kernel, having issues as it continiously asks for interative defult settings which i have to manually put yes to without knowing what the g7 powers defult settings are. at the bottom of the pastebin i've redownloaded to start fresh but if anyone can see what im doing wrong, i would really apprecite the help.

the worse that can happen is some drivers not working correctly iirc

Halium

30 October 2025 16:06

nice. As I learn more I might give a try at at helping docs. But what do you suggest about halium version, should I start with 9?

Halium

30 October 2025 15:53

I think I will go back trying to run ubports now that I learned more about android and halium

Halium

30 October 2025 15:49

the halium docs are unfortunately outdated

Halium

30 October 2025 15:48

maybe we should use that term in there 🤔

Halium

30 October 2025 15:47

we probably should just remove 7.1 from that table then— look at the note below the table

Halium

30 October 2025 15:17

that could be anything including a problem in kernel due to configs you changed. if you didn't even get to rootfs yet changing halium versions etc randomly is going to get you nowhere. you probably should also refrain from going back to pre-treble stuff because that's largely obsolete and porting docs surrounding that stuff is now removed unless you specifically view an older branch

Halium

I think you can install lineageos and then try following the target project documentation for building the kernel, the vndk would've told you which version is appropiate—
