General Ubuntu Touch running on my Fold 3 | WIP/Development

[Azkali]

Hi everyone,

I am currently porting ubuntu touch my Fold 3 and got some of the main features to work (booting the device to desktop/lomiri) figured that some of you might be interested.
I am looking for developers who would like to help on the port, who may have more experience than I do

Working	Partially working / need improvment	Not working
WiFi, GSM (call and texts), UI, more that are not listed in the two other columns	- Orientation defaults to landscape - Sound and mic during calls - device defaults to desktop mode - battery indicator doesn't report the main battery properly	- Bluetooth (after pulling qcacld-3.0 for wifi.. was working before that) - cellular data - Waydroid

Telegram Group (as XDA guideline ask me to mention, the telegram group is not intended to divert support provided on XDA)

Would be great if it works. I have tried it on the Redmi Miatoll.
Is there any Telegram channel in which you post advances?

Please keep working on this, the Fold is pretty neglected here. Hope this comes out

Hi, I am not super active on Telegram but I opened a discord channel I can send you a link if you want but it's pretty empty currently

Hi, sure, I just need to setup a CI for TWRP etc... Before I begin to send links etc..
I will update the post with links once I am done with that

So here is my TWRP build :

Releases · samsung / q2q / manifest · GitLab

GitLab Community Edition

gitlab.azka.li

And it's sources:

samsung / q2q / android_device_samsung_q2q · GitLab

GitLab Community Edition

gitlab.azka.li

And here is the ubtouch overlay source (the currently built CI artifacts don't work because I need to fix the boot image creation, please don't use them if you're not a developer)

samsung / q2q / ubtouch / samsung-z-fold-3 · GitLab

GitLab Community Edition

gitlab.azka.li

And finally the kernel I used (based on CVCA - EUX revision) :

samsung / q2q / android_kernel_samsung_q2q · GitLab

GitLab Community Edition

gitlab.azka.li

How can I be of service

 

[Azkali]

If you have any development experience I'd love to get help on any of the issues listed above, some are kernel related (bluetooth), some might be workable with configurations file (audio HAL, Orientation), and others I haven't figured out yet.

If you don't have any development experience, I also have a patreon, I work in a few open source software communities and put a lot of my time doing ports of OS and/or improving the experience on some devices.

Here is the link to said patreon: https://www.patreon.com/azkali

And just to be clear you're free to do whatever, I will be working on the projects regardless

Any updates?

Any updates?

I fixed the CI issues I had, and a developer is giving me some help, we'll see where it goes

I'm surprised you haven't made a post in development about a working twrp image for this phone. Does this only work with your ubuntu touch port?

 

[Azkali]

Another one exist and I initially wanted to fix more issues before making another post. Btw I am still working on ubuntu touch port and have it updated to focal which should improve a lot of things and open up new doors. But Ithe dual display of the fold causes issues which I have to fix

I still interesed and imagine, that we can use UT and GSI A13 dualboot in A/B slot

Don't know I am still running A11 and it doesn't have A/B slots
