- Go through
$ pmbootstrap init
and selectqcom-sm7150
as the device. The UI can be choosen as desired. - Clone the sm7150-mainline kernel fork:
$ cd ~/Downloads && git clone https://github.com/sm7150-mainline/linux.git && cd linux
. - Prepare envkernel:
$ source ~/.local/share/pmbootstrap/helpers/envkernel.sh
- Generate the kernel config:
$ make defconfig sm7150.config
- Build the kernel:
$ make -j$(nproc)
- After the build has finished, package the built kernel for postmarketOS:
$ pmbootstrap build linux-postmarketos-qcom-sm7150 --force --envkernel
Now you can follow the installation guide above.
After successfully following this guide, your phone should boot postmarketOS! If you have problems installing, feel free to ask in #sm7150-mainline:matrix.org
