- Device information
What's working
- Making a PMOS Recovery zip
- Flashing using custom recovery
- Showing splash screen during boot
- Using debug-shell hook to boot into a working ssh user session.
- Starting partiall X-Session and using the UI with USB-OTG Keyboard and Mouse
What's wrong
- When the phone boots it shows the splash screen meaning the rendering is working. But it crashes and force reboots soon after. - This is probably caused due to the fact that the init is messed up because the bootloader passes the wrong kernel arguments. The ones that are used to boot android.
- Being unable to mount the system partitions in TWRP to check logs or modify the system. - This is a common issue in many PMOS builds.
