Gemini PDA - Sailfish OS / Triple boot install

Okay I had another look just FYI the NVRAM0 permissions were set to Root Access only. No other user could edit it, copy or move it after it was created. I must have clicked on access folder as root out of desperation. Thats why I could move it by renaming the file.

Hang on in Linux you cant move or copy files without an extension says its corrupt. Renamed it I can move it , copy it .... and breath

Really? What version of linux imposes that silly rule?

Mint KDE, it really had me going for a bit I can tell you!

At least I don't need to recover it.

Im getting a bit annoyed at the flashing process. The guide is all over the place, hints where to extract things, its a joke. Is there a decent guide showing exactly where all the files go/where you need to extract too etc.

I did the backup process. Got the ROM/PTM error. Went to my backup thinking Ill have to reflash (Luckly it had not even flashed it) Just had an omg my backup is corrupt / borked moment. Could not copy or move the NVRAM0 said it was corrupt!

Gemini PDA - Linux / Dual boot and SD card

« on: June 25, 2018, 04:36:30 am »

with my home Linux PC I made a fat32 partition on my sd card for music 23gb. Then 100gb ext4 for possibly /home for Linux (if i can work it out) when i finally flash.

The music app (i installed vlc) found it, scanned the directory and albums np.

I would have preferred to image a partition on the sd card than flashing the phone (just to try OS out, bit like using a liveCD). But this really is new territory, it'll probably be an option in a years time .

Gemini PDA - Linux / New Firmware Available (June 12th, 2018); Missing partition tool

Am I right in thinking the Boot 3 option uses just the SD card? So I can have..

Boot 1 Android
Boot 2 Sailfish or blank
Boot 3 Linux

I hope to go Sailfish/UBport/KDE on Boot 1 in the end. But as this is my daily driver it does need to function fairly well for now.
