for those who have a mount error in PBRP while running adaption install.sh script
goto PBRP terminal
enter mount and search for /dev/loop1 mount point (in my case PBRP mounts /apex/com.android.tzdata in dev.loop1)
Unmount it by:
umount /apex/com.android.tzdata
When ./install.sh and it will works

Hi, I installed this on my Redmi 9C NFC but I have these issues:

This is a Linux OS its not an Android ROM they are very different.
....
But then again arm64 vendor will also just increase memory usage and there are variants of garden with 2GB of memory which already suffer with armhf so at least for now arm64 is completely out of the question.
Thanks for this non-developer friendly explanation. (For brevity sake I didn't want to quote the entire post).

What version of Android 10 Q /Firmware do you recommend before flashing Droidian?

Any version? I have V12.0.19.0.QCDEUXM -- do you think it will work?

How smooth, fast and polished from 1/10 would you consider this?
Also i see you have RetroArch installed, is it smooth for you? How do you play with it if landscape is broken?

I give it a 2/10 It became smoother with this version 615 for some reason, i havent been able to flash the adatation package.zip im sorry about the bad things i said. Perhaps im just too bad at this.

But seriously how do you play with retroarch if the touch on landscape view is broken?
This is the 4th time i've flashed this, to try it out, i always end up returning to android, how do you release this to the world, with a picture of RetroArch when you cant even play in landscape with this ? Its obvious you are out of your mind.

haha 2/10 more like 0/10 , i cant even turn it off, the view got inversed in portrait mode. Impossible to flash adaptation package.zip .Only an unpolite animal gives such bad instructions.

Where is install.sh? That file is not even present , this is obviously virus. No matter how you put it .

While i would call this bs and probably not even answer but i'll say one last thing
Ask xiaomi for up to date kernel source with all the proper drivers in place first then start complaining
Instead of complaining to me about your issues you should be complaining to xiaomi.
This device no longer uses the zip flashable images. You are doing something wrong again stop complaining to us if you lack the ability to read.

    Requirements​

    • Android 10 firmware for your device:
      • Redmi 9A/9AT dandelion: LINK.

    Dandelion​

    Installation​

    • Extract the archive
    • run the flash_all script
    • Boot to fastboot and let the script flash everything.
    UBports Installer

    Alternatively the UBports installer can also be used to install Droidian.

    Notes​

    Bugs​

    • Encryption is not supported.
    • Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile -> Access Point Names.
    • RIL gets broken after switching airplane mode or modem off/on.
    • Mobile data might stop working after making or receiving phone calls. Toggle Mobile Data from the settins off/on.
    • Mobile data quick toggle doesn't work.
    • Bluetooth can be used via the terminal using bluetoothctl command or using blueman sudo apt install blueman but does not work via the settings app.
    • GPS works partially via Epiphany (tested with open street map).
    • Signal strength is reported at 1% but Mobile data and calls work just fine.
    • Anything related to cameras do not work it is a global issue across all devices, it does however work in Waydroid.
    • Changing audio to speaker in calls does not work on dandelion but works on angelica.
    • When a headphone is plugged in audio output must be changed manually in the settings.
    • Dual SIM functionality is currently not implemented in Phosh so only one SIM works at the moment.
    • Mobile hotspot does not work

    Final notes​

    • I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.

    Attached images are from different devices but the interface looks and acts the same.

    Hello bro
    Your work is appreciable but i have a question that your droidian rom is based on Android 10 (Q) and it is became old in this big community Android 11 (R) and Android 12 (T) will (maybe) also release soon then who wants downgrade to an old android version from the latest android and latest security patches
    My main question is that this rom droidian cant be based on latest android ?
    This is a Linux OS its not an Android ROM they are very different. It uses the Android 10 vendor and kernel and thats it. the rest is done on droidian itself. The kernel we have right now is patched to work with all variants of dandelion, angelica and angelican thanks to TheKit and Muhammad. as we all know xiaomi did not update their kernel source for these devices (garden). but we have all the needed drivers that Xiaomi did not include. for vendor the reason it cannot be upgraded is that we don't use the android vendor the way you might think we do. the system partition is completely wiped and the OS is completely up to date so I will argue that right now Droidian is much more secure than android itself. upgrading to Android 12 is impossible right now as we don't have a general Halium container image for Android 12 but Android 11 is doable albeit a waste of time. because of how low end these devices are and the ram usage will increase without any benefit on our end.
    The main concern right now is with the vendor being armhf which forces us to also work with armhf rootfs instead of arm64 (while the kernel is arm64!).
    But then again arm64 vendor will also just increase memory usage and there are variants of garden with 2GB of memory which already suffer with armhf so at least for now arm64 is completely out of the question.
