| neerad | Hi I want to port ubuntu touch to my phone, how to proceed ? | 12:01 |
|---|---|---|
| neerad | anybody ???? | 12:02 |
| brunch875 | neerad: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/ | 12:07 |
| neerad | okay | 12:08 |
| brunch875 | good luck! | 12:08 |
| neerad | Can i use a different branch other than master branch? | 12:08 |
| neerad | like 6.0.0_r1 | 12:08 |
| brunch875 | don't know about that. But why not try the master branch first and once you get that working try with a different branch? | 12:10 |
| neerad | okay | 12:10 |
| neerad | also what is the difference b/w ubports and official ubuntu touch | 12:12 |
| brunch875 | you mean what the site ubports.com is? | 12:15 |
| neerad | yep | 12:15 |
| brunch875 | it's a team of developers which port ubuntu to devices | 12:16 |
| neerad | okay | 12:16 |
| neerad | and why does ubuntu relies on android_4.4.2 version for it's building? | 12:16 |
| brunch875 | from what I know, ubuntu relies on whichever version the phone is sold with | 12:17 |
| neerad | hmmm.... | 12:17 |
| neerad | no I mean manifest.git is showing it phablet-4.4.2_r1 | 12:18 |
| neerad | isn't that android version? | 12:18 |
| brunch875 | there's a difference between phones and computers when it comes to operating systems | 12:18 |
| brunch875 | you see, the drivers of the phone are pretty closed | 12:19 |
| brunch875 | so ubuntu uses those drivers for the device to work | 12:19 |
| neerad | You mean phablet_4.4.2_r1 ins't same as android-4.4.2_r1? | 12:19 |
| neerad | okay | 12:19 |
| neerad | but aren't those drivers old and hasn't had the latest commits | 12:19 |
| brunch875 | they are as old as the manufacturer wants them to stay | 12:20 |
| neerad | But I want to develop it based on new drivers? | 12:20 |
| neerad | *! | 12:20 |
| brunch875 | neerad: I do not think porting ubuntu means touching already installed drivers at all | 12:22 |
| neerad | ohh | 12:23 |
| brunch875 | now, I have no experience porting, so I can only give you limited information | 12:23 |
| neerad | hey but when I git branch -a it gives me phablet-5.1.1_r36 to phablet-6.0.0z-r1 | 12:24 |
| neerad | doesn't that mean phablet has been updated to the latest commit | 12:24 |
| neerad | but the default branch is stuck at 4.4.2 | 12:24 |
| brunch875 | I have no idea :-) | 12:24 |
| neerad | oh okay | 12:25 |
