Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

I seem to be hitting the same wall here. The initial 2.2.1.18 works fine, but even running zypper refresh and zypper update, it gets stuck on reboot. Trying to figure out what's causing it but no luck so far...

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

Okay, I'm a stubborn idiot and couldn't go to sleep. But I got my SGP621 updated to 3.2.1.19! Here's what I did (having fresh 2.2.1.18 that is):

• Disable adaptation repositories:
  ssu dr adaptation-community
  ssu dr adaptation-community-common
  pkcon refresh
• Update to 3.0.0.8 (stop release):
  ssu release 3.0.0.8
  zypper ref -f
  version --dup
  sync
  reboot
• Enable adaptation repositories:
  ssu er adaptation-community
  ssu er adaptation-community-common
  pkcon refresh
• Update to 3.2.1.19
  ssu release 3.2.1.19
  zypper ref -f
  version --dup
  sync
  reboot

And that's about it! What this tells me that there is some kind of incompatibility between the newest adaptation packages (the most current update has three days ago - which is great!) and Sailfish <= 3.0.0.8 at least, but using the dance choreography above, it all works out!

Some users commented that the device would not power down correctly, but my device does, at least now. To my great surprise, I can now watch YouTube videos using YTplayer (my openrepos version)! I do have Webcat installed, perhaps it pulled in some gstreamer packages or something..?

If that's not impressive enough, the built-in Browser gives me 1080p YouTube videos with no problems whatsoever! Even my XA2 Ultra can't do that!

The only hiccup is GPS, which for whatever reason stopped working when I was testing GPSinfo on 2.2.1.18. It worked for a while, but it just won't work again. There's no location blip next in top left (right) corner. The location icon in the top menu work as expected but it does nothing now.

Now that I'm up to date, is there anything to test or debug? I'm happy and impressed with the state of the port so far, but I would love to see an updated build, both because of Sailfish version, and polishing out hardware adaptation bugs. I still haven't tested mobile data, calls and texts, and I don't have a memory card inserted, but I think I'll get to that tomorrow. Maybe.

Thanks again for your hard work, everyone!

Edit: typo in "ssu er" commands

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

You have seen this Sailfishos 3.1.0.1 build?

https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porter...evel-20190811/

By the way, it should be 'ssu er ...' for enabling repositories, step 3 in your post.

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

That is for SGP611 (no LTE), I have SGP621 (with LTE).

Thanks for noticing that, fixed!


In other news, I tested the SIM card functionality: I can call and receive calls and texts, and mobile data works fine, too! So, libhybris adaptations page should be updated. Can I just do it or should I let someone know?

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

Speaking of adaptation status, I tested the missing boxes and here are the results:

SMS: YES
Voice calls: YES
WLAN hotspot: YES
Camera: YES*
Gyro: YES

Both main and front camera work with CSD tool, but the camera UI only exposes the main camera - I would still call this a green yes, as the main camera works fully.

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

For future reference i did bump the LTE build on the gitlab not that long ago

https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porter...evel-20200121/

but if you managed to update via OTA then you basically have the same thing installed anyway

I haven't done any major development on the port in quite a while, generally everything important works with the exception of GPS, and it may now be possible to get the NFC working so I should try that out soon

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

Is it possible to implement lvm-based storage (as in official ports) and even luks-based encryption for /home in future releases? They are already implemented in a lot of newly created community ports.

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

LVM based would require me to rework the port into a more productised state using a built system partition like the Xperia X .etc. Its possible but not something i'm really planning on doing.

I'm not sure what is required for the luks encryption, i'll have to ask the guys about it and see what it will take

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

It may be possible to make use of image-file-based storage for /home to mimic what is implemented upon LVM.

e.g. if a specific image file (let's call it /home.img, or /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/home.img in the scope of android recovery and initramfs before chroot) exists before the first run, it could be formatted and mounted to /home, and luks might be deployed on it. If /home.img does not exist it would fall back to the current scheme.

Re: SailfishOS on Sony Z3 Compact Tablet
 

I doesn't seem like an 3.2.1 adaption has been released.
Any plans regarding 3.3?
