**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 07 03:00:01 2018 May 07 10:31:36 lexirv was added by: lexirv May 07 10:33:22 @lexirv, welcome :P May 07 10:33:55 @vanyasem, thanks May 07 10:35:27 well , lets see , how much it would take of continuse work to port it for a device ? ( in normal cases ) May 07 10:36:22 Hmm 1-2 months maybe May 07 10:36:38 I made a basic port for having GUI for S3 Neo in under 1 week May 07 10:36:52 But then, the headache starts... No GPS, WiFi, Camera... May 07 10:37:43 @Flohack, oh May 07 10:37:44 I think it's fair to say there is no 'normal' case when it comes to porting, it will all depend on the device May 07 10:49:04 Yesterday, I was going to fastboot flash boot hybris-boot.img to my S3 i9300, but fastboot just complains "waiting for device". Can I circumvent this somehow? Is it possible to use the 'dd' command for example? May 07 10:49:23 I used the 'dd' command when installing TWRP. May 07 10:49:28 @aribk, samsung doesn't support fastboot May 07 10:49:40 you have to use odin on windiows or heimdall on gnu/linux May 07 10:49:53 https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall May 07 10:50:12 i am kinda busy now, dispatching @Flohack May 07 10:51:04 @vanyasem, OK. Thanks anyway. 👍 May 07 10:51:09 Ok I also have no time right now, but I will look for my notes. May 07 10:51:24 https://forums.ubports.com/topic/912/samsung-porting-notes-a-loose-collection/ May 07 10:51:25 here you go May 07 10:51:29 bald guy from brazzers :P May 07 10:51:31 Yes this May 07 10:51:46 Great! Thanks! :) May 07 10:52:09 This docs should be put in the halium docs :P May 07 10:52:28 @bhushanshah, there is a lot that should go in there actually, we'll get there eventually :P May 07 10:52:32 forwarded to notes May 07 10:52:41 [Edit] forwarded to thoughts May 07 10:54:00 @bhushanshah, If you add a section for this I can do it. Just tell me where May 07 10:54:25 near fastboot docs May 07 10:54:30 just write a section for samsung May 07 10:54:35 below fastboot docs May 07 10:54:46 pr to https://github.com/Halium/docs May 07 10:57:05 the hardest part is to actually sit and write the docs May 07 10:57:12 placing them in the right place is easy May 07 11:11:46 Ok I will follow when I got a bit of time 😆 May 07 11:12:54 you mean here? http://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/install-build/reference-rootfs.html?highlight=fastboot May 07 11:13:55 @Flohack, Just below that section yes May 07 11:14:11 I almost bumped into a person on the street, really no time to talk May 07 12:04:22 @Flohack, Maybe I can help? I just followed the steps and compiled heimdall, but I don't have my device with me, and I'd like to go through the remaining steps before attempting to write something for the guide. May 07 12:05:30 Yes sure you are welcome. May 07 12:06:02 Also, Heimdall is very picky about the connection. Have USB connected first, then bring the device in download mode, then start Heimdall May 07 12:06:28 OK. I'll get back to you once I've tried. May 07 18:08:44 @Flohack, I have tried heimdall a few times now and the heimdall-frontend I compiled doesn't recognize anything but .gz files. Trying heimdall from the command line gave this error message: May 07 18:08:46 Initialising connection... … Detecting device... … libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/002/005: Permission denied … libusb: error [_get_usbfs_fd] libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. … ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -3 May 07 18:09:01 @aribk, You need to be root May 07 18:09:17 sudo ? May 07 18:09:26 yes or su shell ^^ May 07 18:09:33 ok May 07 18:09:38 I mean, I mostly work as root on my machine, I dont even think about it 😆 May 07 18:10:04 You have balls! May 07 18:10:22 I hate to make sudo all the time. Then constantly have to enter my PW. So I sudo -i myself May 07 18:10:49 You can enable passwordless sudo btw May 07 18:11:06 @reivilibre, How? May 07 18:11:49 You add something to the sudoers file (using `visudo` or `EDITOR=nano visudo` if you don't want to be trapped there for all eternity) but you'll have to look at the docs if you're interested as I don't remember the word May 07 18:13:43 if you do enable passwordless sudo then that takes away the security benefits but it does protect you from yourself.. May 07 18:14:09 @reivilibre, Thanks! Will consider... May 07 18:14:46 of course, if you actually get some evil software running as your user, it could just wipe out all your files or something equally as bad as deleting system files, so that's really down to your opinion and circumstances for whether it's 'dangerous' May 07 18:15:37 Good to know! I'll stick to the safer path. 😉 May 07 18:16:37 If you were going to do it properly, you can add udev rules so that your user (or `plugdev` group or so) can have access to the USB device without root May 07 18:16:50 but sometimes it's easier to just take the lazy root and use `sudo` :-) May 07 18:18:25 You can also put just some applications as passwordless sudo but use a password for the rest: … ```luca ALL=(ALL) ALL … luca ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pacman, /usr/bin/mkarchroot, /usr/bin/arch-nspawn, /usr/bin/makechrootpkg``` May 07 18:19:50 Ah yes, there is that as well May 07 20:22:19 ok so, im starting my galaxy tab 4 port id love to see plasma mobile on a 10 inch tab May 07 20:22:36 camera is the only thing i know for a fact wont work May 07 21:30:11 @Flohack, Just a quick check: With your repos for the S3, am I right to assume the correct branch to use is ubp-5.1? May 07 21:35:47 @aribk, hmm May 07 21:35:50 I think yes May 07 21:36:00 But not sure, did not do much with it for some time May 07 21:39:13 Well, I'll see what I can make out of it. Incidentally, I managed to flash to the device using heimdall, but that was after having built halium 7.1 hybris-boot.img and system.img, which didn't get me very far. May 07 21:39:41 It was a first attempt at any rate. Got an error message about the kernel being too old, like you said. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 08 03:00:03 2018
