How to enter flash mode
- Power + Volume Down buttons
Installation
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot

Notes
- The flashlight can be switched on with:
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/led\:switch/brightness
and it can be switched off with:
$ echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led\:switch/brightness
- The charging LED can be switched on similarly, simply substitute `led\:switch` with `charging`. The charging LED will only blink as of now.
- You can change the screen brightness with:
$ echo $brightness > /sys/class/leds/led\:switch/brightness
Mainlining
Mainlining is in the early stages, based on Junak's msm8953 kernel. Source for the kernel is available here:
https://github.com/scarface-one/linux-msm8953
Only boots on XT1686, the Indian variant, with board_id = <0x46, 0x83a0>. Porting to other variants of potter should be trivial |
Lk2nd is a hard dependency, without it the mainline kernel will not boot. You can get lk2nd for potter from here: https://github.com/scarface-one/lk2nd |
What works:
- Display
- Only Boe panel works
- Need test device for Tianma panel, along with way to select panel at boot
- Using labibb regulator driver from mainline patchworks: 1239224
- Brightness control works, but doesn't use the qcom-wled backlights, needs further investigation
- GPU (DRM and FB)
- requires proprietary firmware blobs, can be extracted from Android, or can be downloaded from firmware repositories
- Sometimes crashes on resume after suspend
- SSH and Telnet via USB
- Sometime you might get stuck with no prompt, or a password prompt, or the connection may seem to lag. No fix has been found yet, but a temporary workaround is to run
ping 172.16.42.1
in another terminal, while using ssh or telnet.
- Sometime you might get stuck with no prompt, or a password prompt, or the connection may seem to lag. No fix has been found yet, but a temporary workaround is to run
- Adding
trace_event=dwc3 tp_printk=1
to the kernel boot args seems to completely mitigate the issue
- Adding
- Touchscreen
- Synaptics 3203B, works using mainline RMI4 driver
- Uses a hack to keep
gpio64
on, should be fixed
- Uses a hack to keep
- NFC
- Not tested, but driver loads and binds correctly, so it might work
- LEDs
- Front charging LED works (Qualcomm ATC-LED)
- Battery
- Reports voltage, capacity, temperature, energy
- Needs to deliver other data like current and battery details
- Driver needs testing and cleaning up.
- 2 different battery suppliers, need a way to probe and select
Anything that isn't listed above can be assumed to not work.
