someone managed to boot xiaomi-lisa to UI at least, so it would be best to pick up from that

Thank you for your assistance and thanks to everyone that worked on this project. First time I hear about attempts at this was years ago (with libhybris) and it's amazing to see that the concept of reusing android HALs is not dead. Mainline would be superior of course, but that's a pipedream for many devices. Good luck and have a nice your-time-of-day everyone!

since 9/treble devices you can use a generic systemimage so there's no need to build something device-specific. just need to build kernel which each target distro does differently

I thought so, but just wanted to make sure I am not making some stupid mistakes along the way. I am actually trying to port Droidian to my Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (xiaomi-lisa) (though Ubuntu Touch would be cool too). Sources available to me are lineage-19.1 and up so it would either be halium-12 or halium-13 (tried both, but obviously failed haha). I just wanted to tinker around with Linux on a phone as not only is that a fun concept, but it seems like a great learning opportunity.

Sorry, I'm looking for information on how to install Ubuntu Touch, my English is a bit bad.

Hi, could someone guide me on how to install it on a Note 20 Ultra and where do I download it from?

Halium

it's a super simple script, so I guess you have networking problems? https://github.com/Halium/halium-boot/blob/master/get-initrd.sh

use it outside of the container, it's only needed to sync sources

I am getting python error in ubuntu 16 after repo initialization how do I setup it to work with python 2

Halium

29 Jan 2025 14:25

24.04 is too new for that, expect issues

Halium

29 Jan 2025 14:15

What kind of library's I need to build halium In ubuntu 24.04 it shows some library errors

Halium

29 Jan 2025 13:41

I want to know that I have to set it or not

I recommend you also check UBPorts Porting group history

Halium

Sorry for my mistake then. I went through a lot of different docs, posts, etc. and eventually ended up on the Halium docs page thinking that's what I need to do first (and since I failed multiple times I ended here). Guess the wording on the Droidian github docs confused me. Though it would be a good idea to update the docs in my opinion. There is a bit of conflicting and outdated information there and replying to messages like mine with the same thing over and over seems counterproductive.

/channel/DroidianLinux in that case, you shouldn't be touching the Halium android-tree at all

Halium

06 Feb 2025 23:04

/channel/ubports_porting then since it's a device new enough to use a generic system image for the Halium part, you only need to build the device kernel with tweaks etc without getting involved in android build process at all

Halium

install what exactly? Halium is just the common container piece for running the Android vendor services on any OS utilizing it

Successfully build the halium boot but now i am getting error while build systemimage about expanding policy

Halium

05 Feb 2025 08:48

thats not the error, look at what FAILED, it's download of halium initramfs. what if you run the failed command it shows manually?

Halium

01 Feb 2025 10:02

that manifest may have other bits you need to add too still in general

Halium

01 Feb 2025 10:01

you're missing external/gpg, I guess back in halium 7 ubports recovery used to be added to manifest of each device and unconditionally too (even at the beginning of a port)

Halium

01 Feb 2025 07:07

I am getting a error about build-lineage_hlte.ninja error while building boot image

Halium

29 Jan 2025 17:47

repo auto-updates and is Python 3 only

Halium

29 Jan 2025 14:47

try again after this I guess

sudo apt install distrobox
distrobox create -i docker.io/ubuntu:18.04 -n halium-build
distrobox enter halium-build

if you build Halium 7, you probably need 16.04 or 18.04 chroot

Halium

29 Jan 2025 13:44

hlte as per manifest setup by halium/devices repo it already has a kernel tree which had its defconfig tweaked and supposedly successfully booted, you probably shouldn't touch it and consider it already done. may even want to revert your extra changes if you did more

Halium

setup the halium 7 port with the pre-existing manifest and build as per the ubports docs I linked
