Follow-up Two: Mobian on the Pixel 3a / 3a XL

lemmy.sdf.org/post/22388672

lemmy.sdf.orgFollow-up Two: Mobian on the Pixel 3a / 3a XL - SDF ChatterThis is a follow-up to my earlier posts: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/12809764 [https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/12809764] https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/19600671 [https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/19600671] ## We’re Getting Closer. It’s just small stuff left that needs a bit of piecing together, though I’ve now been daily driving my port for the past two weeks already. ### This Works - booting - display - touch - modem <- You might have to switch to the other slot if it does not work: mmcli -m 0 --set-primary-sim-slot=1, options are 1 or 2. Note that the modem could also be a different number, maybe try -m 1 if it is not found as the command will reboot the modem and then it changes. - plymouth - battery/charging - mobile data - wifi - torch - suspend - call audio - vibration - Bluetooth™ - full disk encryption - eSIM (I’m working on the packaging for the tool you need to provision it) - SMS - audio (ALSA config not packaged, but can be added manually) - camera (have taken a few photos, but the kernel driver is still work in progress and sometimes it just does not work) ### This Has An Unknown Status - Fingerprint Sensor - NFC (should work, does so on pmOS) ### This Does Not Work Yet (Soon™) - GPS - USB host mode (no Kernel support yet, but apparently this is being worked on) - Verified Boot (first need to do research whether this is actually feasible) ### This Is Missing And Will Come Later - accelerometer - magnetometer - ambient light sensor - barometer ### Project Status #### To Do List - Make installer images work on this device - Have droid-juicer run on installer images - Get into the repos: tinyalsa and q6voiced (I’ve already packaged both) - ITP for Tinyalsa: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1079473 [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1079473] - ITP for q6voiced: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1080483 [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1080483] - Combine SDM670 kernel patches with those in the Mobian qcom kernel ##### Done List - New release of qcom-phone-utils required so that my patches are available from the repo - https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/4f77281197c6ba1cfc1a82596157d00e8a7e014b [https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/4f77281197c6ba1cfc1a82596157d00e8a7e014b] (firmware folders) - https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/9aa29a1d0bd2327e9c74317d516a8aeecf820304 [https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/9aa29a1d0bd2327e9c74317d516a8aeecf820304] (fixes bootimg generation with LUKS) - https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/3ddb192b5c78b444065f23647b373ad66ce3617d [https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/3ddb192b5c78b444065f23647b373ad66ce3617d] (fixes on-screen keyboard for LUKS passphrase) - Remove hard-coded value in the droid-juicer systemd unit - https://gitlab.com/mobian1/droid-juicer/-/issues/4 [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/droid-juicer/-/issues/4] - Make sure my q6voiced package no longer includes a hard-coded config for this device (known solution, need to implement) - add udev rule for the vibration motor to the right package - https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/3 [https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/3] - upstream: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/merge_requests/139 [https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/merge_requests/139] #### Misc Issues - ALSA config for the device has not been upstreamed yet - Issues with 5 GHz wifi - Can be worked around by forcing the phone to only use the 2.4 GHz band, for example using nmtui, the network settings of GNOME/Phosh are bit too simplistic for that - No idea how to get the call audio on Bluetooth, meaning you will have to hold the phone or use a cable, for now (This is a non-exhaustive list) #### Low Priority - create/find script/tool that brings up Bluetooth & then package it - https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/5 [https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/5] Other than that… Everything should be there. It’s definitely usable already. Just a few smaller quirks to iron out and two packages to get into the repo. ## The Sources (Use The Source, Luke) - My efforts of packaging a device-specific kernel: https://salsa.debian.org/erebion/sdm-670-linux [https://salsa.debian.org/erebion/sdm-670-linux] (which will be used until all patches are part of upstream Linux and we can finally use a regular mainline kernel) - mobian-recipes, which is used to build images: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes [https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes] - droid-juicer, which retrieves some important files from some partitions: https://gitlab.com/mobian1/droid-juicer [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/droid-juicer] - https://wiki.postmarketos.org [https://wiki.postmarketos.org] (lovely folks, thanks for sharing everything you found out the hard way :D) Thanks For All The Fish Huge thanks to be sdm670-linux project and flamingradian who runs the project (just one person!) to make sure the Kernel works on those devices! :) I don’t know how Kernel development works, so I would have never started porting without this project. Find that here: https://gitlab.com/sdm670-mainline/linux [https://gitlab.com/sdm670-mainline/linux] ## Questions Accepted / Ask Me Anything About The Project I will gladly answer all questions, I hope that more people will start porting if it becomes clear that this is not arcane magic. It’s mostly just arcane. And a community of friendly people that try to be helpful.#

@erebion
This sounds fantastic, thanks for all that work!
It's great to see all these developments on pmOS and mobian!
