**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat May 19 03:00:01 2018 May 19 09:58:38 i've got LEDs lighting on incoming calls May 19 09:58:44 seems like you can only switch them on or off? May 19 09:59:45 or maybe i got the introspection wrong May 19 10:00:20 maybe it wants floats May 19 10:36:43 nope, ints is right May 19 10:37:00 public final boolean android.app.NotificationManager.openLed(int,int,int,int,int) May 19 10:37:27 but it seems like it only accepts values 0-3, and 1, 2, 3 all have the same brightness May 19 10:39:01 actually there is a slight difference May 19 10:40:28 Just got my Gemini from the mailman, not even 24 hours after I got the tracking number (thanks Royal Mail!) May 19 10:40:37 What do you all recommend doing as a first thing? I don't want to run GApps, should I flash the unofficial lineage os first, or is it still not stable enough? Also, should I flash Debian before doing anything else or can that be done afterwards without erasing memory? Is TWRP the best recovery or do we have alternatives? Sorry these have probably been answered, and I remember someone in here posted a wiki and/or blog at May 19 10:40:37 some point, but I have lost track of them May 19 10:41:01 debian can't be flashed without erasing May 19 10:41:35 you can't have TWRP and debian at the same time unless you start hacking the firmware images May 19 10:42:31 also note it isn't flashed using fastboot like a normal phone May 19 10:42:41 you need to use the weird mediatek software May 19 10:45:09 Itching to flash linux here, but I have too many jobs to do May 19 10:45:36 In the mean time, does anyone know how to get the page up and down keys to work in android? May 19 10:45:43 I can't scroll up in irssi May 19 10:45:51 ! May 19 10:45:53 The one on planet's support website, right? So if I use that to flash Debian, that's just going to partition my disk into an Android and Debian boots? And if I wanted to replace either with a different Android ROM for example, would I still do that through the Mediatek software? May 19 10:45:56 that's my next task May 19 10:46:01 figure out how to remap keys May 19 10:46:23 lmart[m]: afaik you have to use the mediatek flasher, yes May 19 10:46:39 question: are you going to flash using windows or linux? May 19 10:47:05 if linux, my notes may be useful to you: https://github.com/ali1234/gemini-stuff May 19 10:47:13 be sure to read all the linked documentation as well May 19 10:47:48 ali1234 I don't know, I only have a Mac and Linux machine without superuser priviliges, which seems like the tool is not going to like May 19 10:47:57 right, it won't May 19 10:48:01 there's no mac flasher May 19 10:48:15 would a VM work? May 19 10:48:19 yes May 19 10:48:44 you only need root to install udev rules and add your user to the appropriate groups, after that it is not needed May 19 10:49:11 for VM, it would only need to support USB serial devices May 19 10:49:18 ok - do you recommend using Windows or Linux? Is either tool more mature? May 19 10:49:33 they are identical May 19 10:49:47 both supplied by mediatek May 19 10:50:06 it's a Qt GUI application, they just ported it May 19 10:50:17 actually the source code is available so maybe you could port it to mac May 19 10:51:23 you are not missing much with the debian port though... it barely even boots up at the moment May 19 10:51:37 ah cool might try to do that first, if it's too much bother I'll resort to the VM May 19 10:52:07 https://github.com/dguidipc/SP-Flash-Tool-src May 19 10:52:42 mmm fair...well I'd like to help out with fixing stuff if there are other people working on it, from what I have seen from this chat it seems that so far most work's been done by the community rather than Planet May 19 10:53:02 don't know. i only got mine two days ago May 19 10:53:38 ali1234: is the linux flash tool verified by planet to work in flashing? May 19 10:53:58 akik: it's released on the support page May 19 10:54:17 http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Flashing_Guide#Download_and_Install_FlashTool_on_Linux May 19 10:54:24 also it's verified to work by me :) May 19 10:54:40 thanks May 19 11:00:20 somebody with a dual boot has had their android ota update fail May 19 11:00:35 Benjamin Trister May 19 11:00:43 18 hours ago (at igg comments) May 19 11:06:26 okay it's done... i have it showing a unique pattern on the LEDs based on the last 15 bits of the incoming phone number May 19 11:15:37 ali1234 (IRC): actually, while it is far from complete, the debian port does far more than "barely boot." but you need to do the things listed here: May 19 11:15:38 https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps/wiki/DebianTP May 19 11:15:38 would be fairly good already if the video were a tad faster, but it works and as i said does much more than boot. May 19 11:16:18 i've done those things May 19 11:57:30 I have installed the dual-boot image. But when booted in to Debian I can’ figure out how to turn the machine off. Has anyone figured it out? May 19 12:23:36 To answer my own question: Fn-Esc for a long time. May 19 13:02:30 https://github.com/ali1234/ALEDxander May 19 13:12:17 varti[m]: are polls banned on oesf? May 19 17:44:13 lmart[m]: I was able to use the linux flash tool from artful ubuntu desktop without any use of sudo (I didn't notice the suggested sudo'ing befor I tried it) and it didnt require any of the png/brom fiddling some other distributions/folk seem to have needed, so depends on what distro your flashing from May 19 17:45:34 akik: the Android update is in the latest dual boot image, and once you've gone dual boot you have to update with the flash tool May 19 17:47:36 adam_b: thanks May 19 19:44:57 ..well great May 19 19:45:03 I just tried the automatic update on my gemini May 19 19:45:10 and right now it's just saying "error" May 19 19:48:01 at least it seems to still work on a reboot May 19 19:48:34 sheepbat: Dual or Andriod only? May 19 19:48:50 android only May 19 19:48:52 oh.. hmm.. May 19 19:48:54 also, rooted May 19 19:49:19 that might count against you, back to the flash tool I guess May 19 19:49:47 yeah May 19 19:49:50 well, good to know May 19 19:49:53 or try unrooting May 19 19:50:16 hah.. not gonna do that May 19 20:49:51 Woo. Gemini arrived yesterday, finally reflashed it just now May 19 20:51:04 Win10 hated the drivers, and had to compile the flash tool from source to get it going May 19 20:51:10 On debian May 19 20:51:40 cool, my app is published :) May 19 21:03:37 Lets see how badly MATE runs. May 19 21:55:49 Really damn well it seems May 19 21:56:14 Unaccelerated video but I knew that May 19 22:12:42 nice **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun May 20 03:00:02 2018
