What is Ubuntu Touch?
Ubuntu Touch is the touch-friendly mobile version of Ubuntu.
This operating system is developed and maintained by UBports: An international community of passionate volunteers.
This means Ubuntu Touch is 100% community driven and independent.
What is Halium?
Halium is the collaborative project to unify the Hardware Abstraction Layer for projects which run GNU/Linux on mobile devices with pre-installed Android.
How it is a GSI?
First of all, I should mention ubports GSI definition is different from android, but both are generic.
ubports root file system was always generic and works for most cases, but devs were porting halium system image to add device-specific (HALs and configs) support to ubports Android container.
But after project treble which introduced in android 8, all device-specific parts of android system image moved to vendor partition and we can use "Generic system images" over one vendor partition.
In halium version 9, we use this adventure and have a totally generic system image + root file system.
Requirements:
The only Requirement of booting this GSI is having Halium patched kernel.
Keep in mind having android 9 firmware installed on the device as GSI base is mandatory (GSI can be used on android 8.0 and 8.1 vendors but experimental and not supported yet)
How to install?

Known bugs?
Bugs are very device specific and mostly should blame device kernel.
oh and of course VoLTE

Good luck
ENJOY!5Hey guys sorry if i reply late..
here is the download page for halium-boots i've built for my devices for testing, maybe this comes useful
https://build.lolinet.com/file/halium/
1) yeah it's possible to boot that device, i've booted op7tpro but had some bugs and i really didn't put time to work on them
2) no ota updates yet
3) 90% of halium9/ubports platform is functional, but device specific bugs might show up
i'm using google gcc toolchain
check this guide for building kernels: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...erence-how-to-compile-android-kernel-t3627297
also i just built halium-boot for ocean: https://build.lolinet.com/file/halium/ocean/halium-boot.img
thanks, nope only 9 is supported, there's no halium 10 yet
yeah i've booted
use this halium-boot: https://build.lolinet.com/file/halium/fajita/halium-boot.img
(flash it over stock 9)
thanks
no restriction even there's a fully functional mtk device called volla phone by ubports team
this GSI works on mtk, exynos and qcom devices
yeah it's possible to go back to stock
we just place some files on data partition and flash halium-boot on boot partition no more touching to partition tables
sure, https://build.lolinet.com/file/halium/lavender/halium-boot.img
this 8GB is size of rootfs.img which is read-only and just root of ubports for system files and shouldn't be edited, your data partition size is untouched.
yeah here is the anbox installation guide: https://gist.github.com/Vince1171/69cdcb2e90f2c70e3ee24de93da8caac
yeah that's me,
thanks for letting me know, will join you guys there
1) yeah you can install "some" linux apps on libertine container but not all: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/libertine.html
2) multiboot not supported, but device specific porters found solutions for it..4
The ubuntu touch is based on ubuntu 16.04 LTS version and gets needed security patches so no worries
And about the Android N screenshots, that was anbox (kinda an Android emulator) to run Android apps on gnu/linux operating systems
But this GSI needs Android 9 vendor for base to boot correctly..

I've prepared g7 power (ocean) kernel source as it's common with my device.
just need to build it
(Build with gcc, not clang)

Are you going to patch your kernel? Our kernel source is a real unorganized mess, I'm looking forward to trying this out but im not looking forward to untangling the disaster we have on github to do it
