# sargo-temp
Temporary fixes that make Mobian work on sargo.
## If you've previously used the instructions from this repo
If you've previously used the instructions from this repo, you should do the following:
- Migrate to the official Mobian kernel packages so you get updates without manually compiling new kernel versions all the time
- Apply my workaround script to get rid of workarounds that are now obsolete
- Note that call audio is still missing in Mobian for the Pixel 3a, for now you can just keep using the audio workarounds from here until the Mobian Project has a better solution
### Migrating to the official Mobian kernel package
If you have previously used a self-compiled kernel, you might want to switch to the kernel provided by the Mobian project:
```
apt update
apt install sdm670-support
reboot
```
This should also be far more stable than the last version that I pushed to my temporary repo. :D
### Build Image
The sdm670-specific kernel is now available from the Mobian repos, it is no longer necessarily to build it yourself.
The image can now be built as follows:
```
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes.git
cd mobian-recipes
git checkout wip/tiol/sdm670images
./build.sh -t sdm670 -s -u mobian -c -R myverysecretlukspassphrase | tee mobian-build.log # -s for SSH, which we need later
```
Do not use `myverysecretlukspassphrase` as your passphrase and replace it, obviously. :D
For now you'll still need the workarounds in this repo to get call audio to work.
Please note that the image will contain SSH Host Keys, please do not share it for security reasons.
### Flash image
First flash the image. Boot the phone.
Connect via SSH: `ssh mobian@10.66.0.1`
Accept the host key.
Note: If you built the image with a different username, you will have to set that in `ansible/ansible.cfg`.
### Roll out workarounds using Ansible
You have to have `ansible-playbook` installed.
Go to the Ansible folder: `cd ansible`
Roll out workarounds: `./workarounds.sh`
Reboot phone via SSH.
Connect to wifi.
Rolling out the workarounds for audio requires installing packages from the repo, so we need an internet connection.
Roll out audio workarounds: `./audio.sh`
Note:
- You might have to switch SIM slots if your SIM card is not recognised.
- Command: `mmcli -m any --set-primary-sim-slot=1`, options are `1` or `2`
- Watch the RSS feed for this repo to learn when there is something new:

## What to do
## Project Status
### Issues on Debian Salsa
Various issues can be found on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&search=sargo%2Fbonito&first_page_size=20
### To Do List
- Make installer images work on this device
- Have droid-juicer run on installer images
- Solve call audio (this repo contains a script that builds packages of Tinyalsa and q6voiced and installs those, but this is not the solution that Mobian will adopt)
#### Issues To Solve To Get Official Mobian Images
To Do:
- Wait for the Merge Request that adds the buld to CI to get merged
Done:
- New release of qcom-phone-utils required so that my patches are available from the repo
- https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/4f77281197c6ba1cfc1a82596157d00e8a7e014b (firmware folders)
- https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/9aa29a1d0bd2327e9c74317d516a8aeecf820304 (fixes bootimg generation with LUKS)
- https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/commit/3ddb192b5c78b444065f23647b373ad66ce3617d (fixes on-screen keyboard for LUKS passphrase)
- Remove hard-coded value in the `droid-juicer` systemd unit
- https://gitlab.com/mobian1/droid-juicer/-/issues/4
- Make sure my `q6voiced` package no longer includes a hard-coded config for this device (known solution, need to implement)
- add udev rule for the vibration motor to the right package
- https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/3
- upstream: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/merge_requests/139
- Wireplumber config
- https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/qcom-phone-utils/-/merge_requests/6
- sdm670 Kernel
For those I will remove the workarounds once the changes are in the Mobian repo
#### Misc Issues
- ALSA config for the device has not been upstreamed yet (can be added using the Playbook in this repo)
- Some people have issues connecting to 5 GHz wifi and/or dual 2.4 GHz/5 GHz wifi, while for others this works perfectly fine
- https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/6
- Can be worked around by forcing the phone to only use the 2.4 GHz band, for example using `nmtui`, the network settings of GNOME/Phosh are bit too simplistic for that
- Currently no way to switch cameras, only one is usable at a time, requires change in Wireplumber
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/merge_requests/670 <- someone is working on that
- Currently camera is fixed to the closest focus with no way to set photos, so you can only take macro photos :D
Solved:
- Bug in Pipewire that causes issues with the camera: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/4227
- create/find script/tool that brings up Bluetooth & then package it
- https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/devices/kernels/qcom-linux/-/issues/5
(This is a non-exhaustive list)
### This Works
- booting
- display
- touch
- modem
- plymouth
- battery/charging
- SMS
- mobile data
- wifi
- torch
- suspend
- call audio
- vibration
- Bluetooth
- full disk encryption
- eSIM (provisioning tool not yet packaged and has to be compiled and installed manually)
- audio (ALSA config not packaged, but can be manually added using the playbook in this repo)
- camera (currently only one camera works at a time, image quality is still not anywhere near Android, driver is work in progress)
### This Has An Unknown Status
- Fingerprint Sensor (idk?)
- NFC (should work, does so on pmOS, but untested)
### This Does Not Work Yet (Soon™)
- GPS
- USB host mode (no Kernel support yet, but apparently this is being worked on)
- Verified Boot (first need to do research whether this is actually feasible)
### This Is Missing And Will Come Later
- accelerometer
- magnetometer
- ambient light sensor
- barometer
### The Sources (Use The Source, Luke)
- `mobian-recipes`, which is used to build images: https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/mobian-recipes
- `droid-juicer`, which retrieves some important files, such as firmware, from some partitions: https://gitlab.com/mobian1/droid-juicer
- postmarketOS wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org (lovely folks, thanks for sharing everything you found out the hard way :D)
### Thanks For All The Fish
Huge thanks to be sdm670-linux project and flamingradian who did and still does an awful lot of work to make sure the Kernel works on those devices! :)
I dont know how Kernel development works, so I would have never started porting without this project.
