 eh, i wouldn't worry about HRM indeed. there's definitely no such thing in UT for it. we don't even have working NFC yet, which is way more important
 @samzn [Decided to give Ubports another try even with the current state of affairs and I …], did you have to implement Mir platform for it?
 does asteroidos have it? would be a way if they alredy have it i guess
[19:15] <UnivrslSuprBox> There it goes, hallyn. Thanks for the notification.
 @UnivrslSuprBox [There it goes, hallyn. Thanks for the notification.], it werks, so remember next time we change name we need to change the irc bot too :P
[19:17] <hallyn> yay you're back :)  thx
 @mariogrip [does asteroidos have it? would be a way if they alredy have it i guess], how many android watches have an HRM though? and how many of those are supported by AsteroidOS?
 @dohbee [how many android watches have an HRM though? and how many of those are supported …], no clue, but i would assume most of the watches have HRM?
 @dohbee [but what device node is created for it? does it not send things through normal k …], When i touch the stylus to the screen, dmesg shows a lock for input to the wacom, Ill send a dmesg for it once I get to a computer again, I gather that will be more helpful than me trying to remember exactly whats going on
 @mariogrip [does asteroidos have it? would be a way if they alredy have it i guess], https://github.com/AsteroidOS/asteroid-hrm They have a demo app at least
 Not sure which watches it works on though
 ..or if it even does anything right now
 Well as I stated, HRM is the last thing Im gonna mess with, theres more important things Id like to get working before I worry about wether Im dead or alive according to a device
 well it's not a binary reading. it's about how much alive or dead you are
 Yeah, that's very fair
 maybe you're only 80% dead, or only 20% alive
 @dohbee [well it's not a binary reading. it's about how much alive or dead you are], 1 = ded, 0 = alive
 Also, what state is your note 4 port in right now? I keep meaning to try and build it but I keep getting super sidetracked and forgetting about it lmao @Shakendo
 Lol, i get that, I have had a busy summer with work (I travel the US for part of my job) I decided to work on my port rather than sit and stare blankly at a screen, the verizon portion I just gave up on a day or two ago cause theres something going with the repo, the sprint repo from the same provider gives me the errors and quirks I exp
[19:28] <ubptgbot> ect I just havent had a chance to go from there, I can also now do a GSM based build as well
 heeey, someone knows how to install ubuntu touch in a very old Samsung Galaxy core plus?
 @Shakendo [Lol, i get that, I have had a busy summer with work (I travel the US for part of …], I'd be very much interested in being the testbed for a GSM build lol, I have a trltetmo laying on my desk basically doing nothing right now
 @Dartharya [heeey, someone knows how to install ubuntu touch in a very old Samsung Galaxy co …], it is not a supported device. you'd have to port, but i'm not sure that device is suitable
 Ok, DM me later and remind me and Ill make a build when I get in front of a machine
 @Dartharya [heeey, someone knows how to install ubuntu touch in a very old Samsung Galaxy co …], I think that device has too old of a kernel to run UT
 @NotKit [did you have to implement Mir platform for it?], SDL is handling it
 so i should use another alternative OS to revive a dying phone 🙈
 @Lyokanthrope [I'd be very much interested in being the testbed for a GSM build lol, I have a t …], Ill also share any files I edit if it works on your device
 (Sticker, 512x512) https://irc.ubports.com/9OXOn0aX.webp
 i'm so sad  … 😭
 @Dartharya [so i should use another alternative OS to revive a dying phone 🙈], Well do you know what kernel it is running?
 @Shakendo [Ill also share any files I edit if it works on your device], Sounds good.
 @Shakendo [Well do you know what kernel it is running?], 3.4.0-2742807
 Android 4.3
 (Sticker, 512x512) https://irc.ubports.com/OlNcKLTh.webp
 @Dartharya [so i should use another alternative OS to revive a dying phone 🙈], No matter what you do, you'll need to find an alternative OS that supports your phone. The experience of installing Linux on almost any desktop or laptop can't be replicated on the phone.
 @Dartharya [Android 4.3], Do you know if there is a Lineage 5.1 or 7.1 build available?
 https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.html#pick-an-android-target-device  … I wanna try doing this
 @Shakendo [Do you know if there is a Lineage 5.1 or 7.1 build available?], i have no idea actually 😂
 what is a lineage?????
 @Dartharya [https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.html#pick-an-android-targe …], I wish you luck, and we are here to help you as best we can, before ypu enter a single command see if you have a cm5.1 or cm 7.1 repo available, if not then you have a lpt more work to do
 Github.com/lineageos
 @Shakendo [Do you know if there is a Lineage 5.1 or 7.1 build available?], i guess it won't be listed on lineage web site any more, as they've been dropping support for older devices it seems
 Yeah, but the github should still have it, or at least is a good place to start
 @Shakendo [I wish you luck, and we are here to help you as best we can, before ypu enter a …], omg you are speaking in greek to me >< … i don't even know how to deal with an android SO … I understand a little bit of linux, packages, but fot desktop. … Shoud i install Android Studio and read a lot of tutorials before doing anything?
 @samzn [Would anyone be interested in it], that is awesome!
 Android Studio won't help here since it is not Android and we're using Android bits on lower level
 @Dartharya [omg you are speaking in greek to me >< … i don't even know how to deal with an and …], Step 1, if you know your devices code name (my note 4 is trltevzw) you can search github for "android_device_samsung_<your codename>" and if you find something then theres a chance
 ive been messing around with sdl2, many things seem to work with a certain version of that, although porting games has been intresting since many were keyboard/mouse games
 @NotKit [Android Studio won't help here since it is not Android and we're using Android b …], since i don't have a lot of experience with mobile software, learning isn't a bad idea at all
 @Shakendo [Step 1, if you know your devices code name (my note 4 is trltevzw) you can searc …], i'm going to try it, thanks
 I encourage you to try if your willing to try, I started out the same, zero experience with any of this, Im still learning but I niw know enough to help others at least get started
 same here
 @mariogrip [no clue, but i would assume most of the watches have HRM?], is that through bluetooth, i saw an example heart rate monitor app in the qt examples for bluetooth
 @Dartharya [i'm going to try it, thanks], If you need help, just reach out to us, we are always here to try and help
 @mateosalta [is that through bluetooth, i saw an example heart rate monitor app in the qt exa …], well, talking to the watch would probably be BLE or ANT+ (not sure what watches use what). but AsteroidOS would be talking to an internal device on the watch itself

[22:47] <nerdcore> im not having luck with either ubports-installer nor with manual instructions on my Nexus 5 (hammerhead)
[22:47] <nerdcore> when I get booted into ubports Recovery on the device, it does not seem to be available via `adb` any longer
[22:47] <nerdcore> is there a mechanism inside ubports Recovery which I must access in order to enable the debug bridge again?
 .weird
 Do you have fastboot installed?
[22:49] <nerdcore> i do
[22:49] <nerdcore> fastboot and adb, both
[22:49] <nerdcore> with the manual instructions I got the fastboot recovery and boot images flashed
[22:49] <nerdcore> wrote commandfile onto my host (PC) disk
[22:50] <nerdcore> but the next set of instructions are a series of `adb` commands, and `adb devices` shows empty
[22:53] <nerdcore> tried flashing TeamWin recovery back on but that doesn't seem to be making it available to adb either, which surprised me.
[22:56] <nerdcore> working now (???)
[22:58] <nerdcore> feels like something went wrong in ubports-installer flashing recovery, maybe? After flashing twrp on, then manually flashing ubtouch's recovery.img again (which I did before, both via ubports-installer and manually), now its working where before it was not
[22:58] <nerdcore> very odd
[22:59] <nerdcore> now @ Moment Of Truth
[22:59] <nerdcore> seems to be installing now
[23:09] <nerdcore> install and setup completed, then it crashed and rebooted
[23:09] <nerdcore> seems stuck in reboot now
 I think you should install stock rom and retry
 Mixing manual steps and the installer might have messed some stuff
[23:15] <nerdcore> seems up (if unstable)
[23:15] <nerdcore> is there a way to import a VCF file of Contacts?
[23:16] <nerdcore> I see a "import from Google" option, which I find a bit ironic not having such account ;)
[23:16] <nerdcore> kinda why I want off Android in the first place :P
 @nerdcore [is there a way to import a VCF file of Contacts?], Via the file manager
 @nerdcore [seems up (if unstable)], Define "unstable"
[23:18] <nerdcore> idk seems ok now; was weird to have it appear to work ("Get Started") then black screen for 30s then reboot :P
 Ah that is weird
 Did you see the boot splash?
[23:20] <nerdcore> yes, for quite a while before boot completed
[23:20] <nerdcore> I did not choose to wipe my data partition ("/sdcard/" under Android); Where could I find this under Ubuntu?
[23:22] <nerdcore> will those files be accessible to me?
[23:24] <nerdcore> oh wow
[23:24] <nerdcore> says No SIM Card
[23:24] <nerdcore> o_O
[23:24] <nerdcore> that is ... surprising
[23:29] <nerdcore> power cycled and working now
[23:29] <nerdcore> sorry for the chaff
 Typically Ive seen these errors be due to the USB cable, or at least unplugging it then plugging it back in seems to fix it
[23:33] <nerdcore> i only have one android-style device (my phone) so when I try new OSes and they fail I get panicky :P
[23:33] <nerdcore> seems to be sending and receivig SMS and making calls
[23:33] <nerdcore> thats all I really need :D
[23:34] <ubptgbot> EricTheITGuy was added by: EricTheITGuy
[23:35] <nerdcore> I am finding the font size terribly small and ddifficult to read (especially black-on-white). Where can I increase the font, and perhaps change to a white-on-black theme?
[23:36] <nerdcore> dont see anything under Language & Text nor Brightness & Display
[23:40] <nerdcore> i changed keyboard theme but can't figure out where to change the rest of the UI to something more legible
[23:43] <nerdcore> search of System Settings for "font" or "size" both return empty :(
 There isn't a setting to do that
[23:45] <nerdcore> wow
 You can use tweak tool app to change total scaling
 Everything is scaled together
[23:46] <nerdcore> ok ill try that thanks
[23:46] <nerdcore> how about the colour scheme? Can I get white-on-black (inverse)? I find it MUCH easier to read that way
 You can select dark theme in tweak tool as well
 Not all apps follow it though
[23:55] <nerdcore> dohbee: I tried searching for "tweak" in OpenStore but dont see it; Where is "tweak tool app" and how do I install/run it?
[23:56] <nerdcore> oh took a while. "UT Tweak Tool"?
[23:59] <nerdcore> can't read the Publisher; font is too small :/
