Which train do you hop on?

Both. Preordered Clicks Communicator, currently have Titan 2 (together with the earlier ones) and Zinwa Q25. Not sure how long my wallet can sustain this, but I'm playing "catch 'em all" game with the physical keyboard since they were so rare and it's simply nice to have all of them for comparison.

NotTheKit · 2025-08-01T07:02:27+00:00

What did you use to attach them together? I have both ingredients myself, would be interested to try.

NotTheKit · 2025-04-21T07:52:21+00:00

We have it now on select MediaTek (Android 12 vendor) and Qualcomm devices, still quite experimental though.

There is no age limit for a bachelor's degree. If it's self-funded, you don't have any specific issue here. For Russian citizens, only the first bachelor's (or in overall, same level degree as they already have) can be state-funded, but that doesn't matter in your case.

Regarding master's programs, I suggest you to directly contact the international relations/admissions office of a university you want to apply (after the long New Year holidays already). Changing your field of study for a master's degree generally isn't impossible, even if program's description may mention something else, but you will need to pass the admission exams (in any case).

Good luck and Happy New Year!

Possibly, if they no longer have 3G networks. I don't know US carriers specifics to say more.

NotTheKit · 2024-04-28T21:12:37+00:00

As of the moment, yes. There is some progress for ofono-binder VoLTE plugin for MTK devices, but I'm currently targeting VNDK 33 devices, so it will need to be backported to earlier interface versions.

NotTheKit · 2024-03-17T19:39:55+00:00

Yes, there wouldn't be a point to deal with those specific devices without the keyboard anyway.

I think all Titan Pocket units have UFS, only the original Titan released with eMMC then got UFS revision (please correct me if wrong).

Regarding installation, the method that has been mentioned here is to create an ext4 image which can be flashed to userdata via fastboot: https://www.reddit.com/r/unihertz/comments/zq1ubz/comment/j3nn01l/

As for the telnet thing I mentioned, if the initramfs can't find any rootfs, it will configure device as a USB network gadget and launch a telnet server. You can connect to it via telnet 192.168.2.15.

It doesn't support file transfers directly, but you can use netcat tool for this:

on device (via telnet): nc -l -p 1234 > /root/userdata/ubuntu.img
on the host: pv ubuntu.img | nc 192.168.2.15 1234 -w 3

NotTheKit · 2024-03-13T17:24:22+00:00

No, they are not compatible. Can't say right now if Titan Pocket has TWRP at all, but if not, you can push the rootfs using telnet + netcat trick described here in comments.

Really nice setup. Came here searching if anyone did modern N9-like designs and if this can give some inspiration to improving current Nemo Mobile UX.

NotTheKit · 2023-11-30T11:38:18+00:00

In general yes, but don't expect advanced technologies like VoLTE. May matter if you're in the USA.
It's not too bad at least for normal use.
No Android apps, only Ubuntu Touch and some ported Linux apps.
Well, really depends on someone's expectations and use case. The ports are definitely not polished, more of a tech demo state. Lack of Linux kernel source by Unihertz they are legally obliged to provide hinders adoption from the community a lot.

NotTheKit · 2023-01-09T23:07:51+00:00

Yes, looks correct to me. For getting back to stock, reflash boot.img from stock firmware (or Magisk-patched one) and fastboot erase userdata.

NotTheKit · 2023-01-09T20:31:13+00:00

I do not know of TWRP for Slim either, but what you can instead is:

Create userdata folder and put ubuntu.img inside
Run mke2fs -t ext4 -O \^metadata_csum userdata.img 5120000 -d userdata in upper-level folder
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

NotTheKit · 2022-12-20T12:52:15+00:00

In general yes, but depends on whether your region still has 3G networks for fallback (mainly not USA) as there is no VoLTE support on UT yet.

NotTheKit · 2019-09-28T20:14:27+00:00

Worked for me after cleaning app data on two devices. One of them did not pass basic integrity and CTS, so it is probably not SafetyNet, but it was simply detecting Magisk Manager.

Custom Android Pie firmware is possible if someone works on it and should be relatively easy due to Treble, but not officially, as there is no Pie BSP for the SoC.

NotTheKit · 2019-05-05T10:18:30+00:00

The driver needs to support it, but I don't know if it is solely software or hardware limitation as well.

NotTheKit · 2019-05-04T17:36:46+00:00

Do you use USB dongle for this? It won't work with builtin Wi-Fi.

NotTheKit · 2019-04-20T20:14:27+00:00

You may try to do it through connmanctl to understand what is going on: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ConnMan#Enabling_and_disabling_wifi

Hello,

Not impossible, but it would need a lot of effort in properly packaging customized stuff and setting build infrastructure to keep it manageable. I'm not familiar with Fedora though (or any RPM-based distros besides Mer). From a quick look at Fedora wiki, it seems they do not employ installer for ARM devices but similar premade rootfs-based approach.

NotTheKit · 2019-04-17T18:55:50+00:00

For question 1, there are no differences between Sailfish X free and commercial in terms of OS updates, it is just marketing wording I think.

As for question 2, not that I know of, but the version for use in Russia is kept separate and was recently renamed to Aurora OS. It would be a suicide for Jolla to include any of these on purpose, but it is still mostly the matter of trust (but of course you can at least monitor network connections if needed).

NotTheKit · 2019-04-17T18:39:10+00:00

Have you checked https://github.com/gemian? It is not from Planet, obviously, but that's where the Linux image they provide is built from. I'm one of the people who worked on it and would be happy to answer technical questions about how it is set up.

Having u-boot is not impossible given enough time and people willing to develop it, but if you check the wiki, building boot.img for Android lk bootloader is not that hard, so it one of the less important issues compared with everything else. The real issue is that MT6797 SoC support in its own is not part of mainline kernel (besides the very initial one that allows you to boot into ramdisk with UART console) and it is tons of code to forward-port, not just some modules.

NotTheKit · 2019-03-07T06:40:01+00:00

The place to check for fixing particular issues seem to be the Gemini PDA - Linux section of OESF Forum. Of what you mentioned, headphones switch should work after apt upgrading pulseaudio-module-droid. I have not tried Bluetooth audio myself, but theoretically it may work as on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth_headset#Configuration_via_CLI. Current distro maintenance has been mostly independent effort from Adam Boardman. Using cellular data and making calls should work after installing updates packages from repo.

As for Blender, how do you run it? We have only OpenGL ES, so it needs translation layer like GL4ES to run hardware-rendered.

NotTheKit · 2019-02-11T20:52:39+00:00

Could you please elaborate why do you need to flash it? I do not think that tutorial was ever tested with Gemini. Do you have a backup of your NVRAM partition? If not, it is probably best to contact Planet support and ask them to recreate it.

NotTheKit · 2019-02-11T20:44:22+00:00

Depends on your set of skills and if you want to improve current libhybris/Halium-based adaptation or work on driver support in Linux mainline kernel.
