Halium

09 March 2026 18:52

Android 13, but it's running android 15 rn I believe

Halium

09 March 2026 18:50

Halium

fuseteam@tuxecure:~$ adb shell                                                                                   
gta7lite:/ $ getprop|grep vndk                                                                                   
[ro.product.vndk.version]: [34]

So what requirements do my phone need to meet for UT?

Halium

09 March 2026 18:45

At the top of the page it said that I needed to make sure my phone met Halium requirements tho ;-;

Halium

09 March 2026 18:31

Alr, ty. I'll check after lunch

Halium

09 March 2026 18:09

Where do I look to find this stuff?

Halium

09 March 2026 18:07

I'm wondering about this one

Halium

09 March 2026 18:06

I wanna make a port for Ubuntu Touch for my phone, and it meets all the requirements for Halium, but I have a question about one that I'm not sure if it meets

Halium

06 March 2026 20:40

if you want to port it is better to follow the porting documentation of your target OS

Halium

05 March 2026 16:37

Great, will do then, thank you!

Halium

05 March 2026 16:35

yes you are free to file an PR

Halium

02 March 2026 19:56

i mean if their goal for example is to port ubunu touch, they should read the documentation linked above— it links to the porting room on matrix

Halium

02 March 2026 19:53

that room is no longer really used, what is their goal?

Halium

09 March 2026 18:53

then i believe it qualifies the part about lineage OS sources

Halium

09 March 2026 18:50

ok in that case uh what android version did your phone ship with

Halium

09 March 2026 18:48

yes, on the device you are porting from the pc you are porting with

Halium

09 March 2026 18:47

maybe this is a good place to add the vndk part 🤔

Halium

09 March 2026 18:46

hmmm then we need to update that

Halium

09 March 2026 18:44

you don't need to build halium, please follow docs.ubports.com/porting

Halium

09 March 2026 18:30

XDA would be my first guess

Halium

09 March 2026 18:09

I think the Kernel source is publicly available, but I idk for sure, and I also don't know about the LineageOS version

Halium

09 March 2026 18:06

(it's a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G btw)

Halium

06 March 2026 20:40

since halium 9 it no longer needed to build halium itself

Hello, I'm a longtime linux-phone enthusiast, but never tried porting things myself, having limited time, and let's be honest limited skills (never programmed anything in C or C#, never played around with customising a kernel before...).
But I'm interested in playing around for fun, even with low chances of getting things fully working on my own.
I'd love to get my hands on a cheap second hand device and give porting a try. The goal would be "just" to get the test image of halium booting first. Ideally in the end I'd like to go further and port Ubtouch, Droidian or Lune OS, but with my skills it's probably too optimistic isn't it ?.
I got my eyes on a Motorola Moto G 5G Plus (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nairo/variant1/). I saw several offers at 50€ and below (I'd like to avoid spending more on something I have high chances of bricking ^^') and It has a lineage os ROM, more than 2Go of Ram, kernel 4.19... From what I read on Halium's doc, it sounds like a good candidate for playing around with porting.
But also, I see no Motorola device compatible with Ubtouch, which makes me think there might be something I'm missing, and more difficulties ahead.
Ultimately I'm OK if I fail the port, I just wanna have fun, but also I don't wanna start my first try on a device that's a dead end anyway.
What do you think ?
Does it sound like an OK device to start with ? Any other recommendation ?
Any comment on that little hobby project is welcome :)

i think as long as the PR gives enough of an explaination it should be fine

Hello,

I have an hybris patch which fixes an Halium-11 problem affecting the camera recording hardware_mode+audio. on some Halium OS (reported on Droiidian and UbuntuTouch for xiaomi vayu).

I would like to know if i'm free to do a PR, or i need to open any issue for review the patch before.

Thank you!
