Building Sailfish OS for Nexus 5

Latest revision as of 22:12, 20 August 2014

Download the HADK documentation from http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/2014-07-21_SailfishOSHardwareAdaptationDevelopmentKit.pdf

This document mentions configurations required to build Sailfish OS for Nexus 5 (hammerhead). HADK should be followed as it is and this document should be referred only to learn about build configurations specific to Nexus 5.

HADK mentions references to CM 10.1 while Nexus 5 is based on CM 11. All the steps carried out in HADK should be in context of CM 11 only.

[edit] Chapter 3

Install CM 11 M9 from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/78753/cm-11-20140805-SNAPSHOT-M9-hammerhead.zip instead of CM 10.1 on your device and test the functionality as mentioned in HADK.

[edit] Chapter 7&8

part of the packages that need build are in this repo... https://build.merproject.org/project/show/nemo:devel:hw:lge:hammerhead just add an extra repo to your .hks and save time

KSFL=$ANDROID_ROOT/tmp/Jolla-@RELEASE@-$DEVICE-@ARCH@.ks
MW_REPO=http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/lge:/hammerhead/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/
HA_REPO1="repo --name=adaptation1-$DEVICE-@RELEASE@ --baseurl=${MW_REPO}"
sed -i -e "/^$HA_REPO.*$/a$HA_REPO1" $KSFL

[edit] Known Issues

• dhcp assigns wrong ip address to host or not at all and it has to be fixed manually to be able to telnet to 2323 :

ifconfig -a and look for the interface name through which Nexus 5 is connected to host
sudo ifconfig <interface_name> 192.168.2.10 broadcast 192.168.2.255

• droid-hal-init is sometimes started before /system is mounted and causes race condition with property service. Symptom: you are stuck with a google logo:
  • this PR contributes to it, but doesn't fix completely: https://github.com/mer-hybris/droid-hal-device/pull/38
  • add these in the %post of the .ks

sed -i '/%post$/a sed -i \"s;WantedBy;RequiredBy;g\"  \/lib\/systemd\/system\/system.mount' $ANDROID_ROOT/tmp/Jolla-@RELEASE@-$DEVICE-@ARCH@.ks

sed -i '/%post$/a echo \"RequiredBy=droid-hal-init.service\" >> \/lib\/systemd\/system\/local-fs.target' $ANDROID_ROOT/tmp/Jolla-@RELEASE@-$DEVICE-@ARCH@.ks  
sed -i '/%post$/a echo \"[Install]\" >> \/lib\/systemd\/system\/local-fs.target' $ANDROID_ROOT/tmp/Jolla-@RELEASE@-$DEVICE-@ARCH@.ks

• • With all them workarounds above, some boots might still stuck nastily with journal looking only like this: https://pastee.org/6jf5x

• Correct time is not shown on booting. ( Currently being discussed at https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-arm-msm@vger.kernel.org/msg09852.html)

 A workaround for this was implemented... just setup your time at the first boot

• you will discover that any zypper operation is slow like hell. Cause two repos that shall not be there adaptation0 and xt9. Workaround: remove them:

zypper rr adaptation0 xt9

• wireless hotspot is not working... wip? Workaround use usb tethering

devel-su
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o rmnet0 -j MASQUERADE
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i rmnet0 -o rndis0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -i rndis0 -o rmnet0 -j ACCEPT

be sure on host the host you have a gateway setup to 192.168.2.1 and a dns eg. 8.8.8.8

• if usb-moded is installed you can use the sailfish os usb tethering (unfortunately is known not to work, fixed the package are in MW_REPO)

zypper in usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-config

• mp3s do not play (google is your friend here.)
• the usb-moded package is removed so you will not get the phone connecting via usb as storage. Workaround use telnet or ssh
• usb-moded may cause issues google logo stucked on screen for more tha 4 min... (have not seen them lately). In this case remove them with

rpm -e usb-moded
rpm -e usb-moded-defaults
rpm -e usb-moded-diagnostics-config
rpm -e usb-moded-developer-mode

• note that if usb-moded are installed ip of the device is 192.168.2.15, without them 192.168.2.1
• note that if you want a working usb-moded you may want to install the following rather than the defaults pulled

rpm -qa | grep usb-moded
usb-moded-pc-suite-mode-android-0.80-1.11.1.armv7hl
usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-config-0.80-1.11.1.armv7hl
usb-moded-developer-mode-android-0.80-1.11.1.armv7hl
usb-moded-diagnostics-config-0.80-1.11.1.armv7hl
usb-moded-0.70-134.1.Nemo.armv7hl (ask phdeswer in the irc channel)
usb-moded-defaults-android-0.80-1.11.1.armv7hl
usb-moded-diag-mode-android-0.80-1.11.1.armv7hl

• while wireless connects to wlan unfortunately after reboot does not connect anymore to the configures network. Workaround. re-add the network
