Hi, Eugenio from Droidian here: Did you happen to run a dist-upgrade via the command line before doing that? Unfortunately there is an ongoing GNOME migration in Debian testing that required re

Hi,

Anyone using this as a daily driver on pro1x? Is the camera and GPS working OK? 

The GPS works about as well as it does in Android/Lineage and I find Pure Maps to be a reasonable navigation app as long as you pitch in on OpenStreetMaps. The camera, however, doesn't work out of the box. After installing `pinhole` the camera works but is NOT full-featured. The experience outside of the camera (and broken convergence) is smoother than on my Librem 5, but it's certainly not fully polished.

There's been tweets about megapixel app working with some android devices on post market os. I'm curiouse if it would work on this device.

Hi!

I Installed it last weekend, the latest verion i have found, from: api30-arm64-next_20240823.zip

I have some fundamental problems with it:

I did not mange to set my network connection APN or even the time:

I can enter the values in the GUI, but there is now button that sayes: OK or Save, even the Back-Button does not work...

The phone is responsing and working, there is just now way to save the settings...

Any idea how this works?

 

Thanks

Ralph

I would like to make the switch to Droidian though the camera is a huge factor for me. Is there anyone here that can confirm if camera works. Is it possible to record video? If not through the OS, can you record or use camera through waydroid?

Camera is working, but if I take a picture, nothing happends, the button just changes the colour to grey. The picture is not saved anywhere... Same with the video mode

Have you tried to extend partition?

No.

Should I ?

If yes how and which partiton?

 

There are 3 mountpoints that are shown as 100% usage:

/android

/dev/mapper/dynpart-system_ext_a

/dev/mapper/dynpart-product_a

 

All other have planty of space.

I found a quick troubleshoot. Is your userdata ext4? If not you need to format it.

  • fastboot format:ext4 userdata

Someone in the past had an issue with partitions as well and confirmed reflashing them in fastboot had fixed it. You will lose your data.

I do not have any data to lose, but his problem was:

"If the image does not boot and your userdata is not an ext4 partition, you might try formatting it."

I have many ext4 partitions

the firmware and some android vendor partitions are  vfat

and mountpoints with fuse and tracefs

 

So its not in any way related, it will not bring back any missing buttons.

At the moment Doridian is not useable in any way,

  • no Mobile Internet connection, missing buttons
  • wrong time, missing buttons
  • Cam does not save pictures
  • Firefox is crashing at startup
  • no updates for any packets even if you fix the EXPKEYSIG-Problem (many broken packages)

I have no idea why it was listed under supported in the last FXTEC Newsletter.

Working:

Shell, keyboard and Wifi

Hi All. I would like to install Droidian on my Pro1x but i'm under LOS21. I need to roll back the OS to Android 11 Stock. So does someone knows how much time it takes to @Casey to allow access on their Google files's sharings ? Or, is there someone with the files needed to share ?

On Sunday, Casey communicated to me that he had all the files and would create new links "Next week."  I don't know if that meant the week we are in or really next week.  I suspect it hasn't been quicker because he is not where he can easily take care of this.  But it will happen.

There is someone in our unofficial Discord who is currently sharing the files on Proton Drive if you are impatient. That's where you would want to ask questions about it.

The links were all just restored, so you should be able to get everything from the forum here again.  :)

Just in case anyone else hits this error when running flash_all.sh:

Sending sparse 'userdata' 1/5 (765895 KB)          OKAY [ 16.362s]
Writing 'userdata'                                 FAILED (remote: 'Flashing of userdata is not allowed in snapshotted state')
fastboot: error: Command failed

The fix is this

fastboot snapshot-update cancel

Without knowing what your expectations are [...]

Camera functionality seems to be important to @mangled. The device pages for Pro1 and Pro1X still state camera stack to be unstable and video recording not to work at all. So I guess the question is whether this information is up to date.

Beyond that, here as well as on discord, users reported many more issues related to things fundamental to daily phone use, like mobile connectivity, battery life, and stability of core apps. Those problems are not mentioned at all on the project page, which lists the Pro1 and Pro1X as "officially supported". 

A brief, but honest, report about how usable Droidian is as daily driver on the Pro1/Pro1X would be very interesting, indeed.
