What works
- USB networking
- Framebuffer graphics (Xorg/Wayland)
Requires running Android services/using libhybris
- Wi-Fi (needs MediaTek's custom firmware loader)
- 3D acceleration (via libhybris and xf86-video-hwcomposer)
- Audio (via libhybris and pulseaudio-module-droid, possible to achieve with ALSA configs)
What does not work
- Everything else not mentioned specifically
Installation
The easiest way for now is to use Flash Tool from official flashing guide, replacing linux.img in firmware package with planet-geminipda.img and linux_boot.img with boot.img-planet-geminipda.
Current device-planet-geminipda branch also includes initramfs hook which will try to mount userdata and linux partitions, looking for /postmarketOS.img file (exported as planet-geminipda.img). This can be used for non-intrusive installation. Image file needs to be expanded to wanted size in advance, for example:
% truncate -s 2G postmarketOS.img
