General Discussion / Re: Planet-Computers not further available? Orders not distributed?

« on: August 05, 2024, 06:49:25 pm »

This news saddens me. Whilst I cannot get the order expedited, the fact there's been no communication is deeply concerning.

Can you DM me your last name and first initial?

Planet is still alive, but I think they've run out of hands.

Thanks.

For Sale / Wanted / Re: Wanted lending or buying Display Port Cable for Cosmo Communicator Astro Slide

I am mistaken. It has been a while since I've looked at my Astro, and I can confirm the HDMI cable works with Astro. I saw a thread on this forum.

But what I will reiterate is that Alt DP/DP out isn't supported by any Planet mobile device.

The Astro Slide does not have an official HDMI cable.

Alt DP?DP out is not supported by any Planet device.

It only has HDMI through a special decoding chip.

Try asking around on the Discord servers.

Astro Slide - Android / Re: Building LineageOS for Astro feasible?

There's a device tree I got hold of on the Planet Community GitHub organisation. Advice is really to focus efforts on that organisation, where I'm working on funding via Open Collective, and from Planet.

I have addressed the issues in the README. I suspect people are downloading HTML as a 'zip'.

Astro Slide - Android / Re: Does the fact the Astro supports Treble mean possible New firmware if PC doesn't

I take it by your username that you're 'lolnemo' on Discord... I'm trying to get Pateron to allow me access again, and I have GitHub Sponsors, Ko-Fi, BuyMeACoffee, and Liberapay.

Working on setting up a 'tier' system, but to everyone who donates: this isn't a service I offer; merely financial support.

Still have not been able to get a dev Astro. Or Gemini.

Astro Slide - General Discussion / Re: Has anyone here seen any signs of life from Planet lately?

« on: February 23, 2024, 06:47:39 pm »

Planet is still alive, and I'm working on negotiating employment with them for Linux on phones.

I can't go into much detail, as I do not wish to set expectations.

However, they are alive and well.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Re: Does the Gemini OS/rooting work with the Cosmo?

« on: February 23, 2024, 06:46:10 pm »

Do not attempt Gemini ROMs or rooting on the Cosmo. This is *dangerous*.

They each use different chips, and no common platform, a la Project Treble.

I don't think it'll happen for a while.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Re: Android v25 Firmware

« on: February 23, 2024, 06:45:06 pm »

Bear in mind, this was only by luck I found the OTA package on an old server of mine, so obviously it's not an official solution.

Although I suspect the next update for Cosmo will *have* to be an OTA package like in my Git repository, because the Wireless Updater is offline.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Re: Front (small) screen not working

« on: February 23, 2024, 06:43:35 pm »

Hi Greg, this isn't an official Planet support platform.

I do however have experience with CoDi, and might be able to help if it's not hardware.

Your next step would be to post a picture of the CoDi screen - front panel.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Re: Cosmo with Android v15 can not Update via Vol + Console / TWRP

« on: February 23, 2024, 03:06:12 pm »

You can't update via OTA (and do NOT use my V25 update patch), so you'll need to flash V23 from the Planet support site.

V19 is the minimum version that supports multi-boot.

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Re: console Mode in Gemian possible ?

« on: December 16, 2023, 04:50:51 pm »

Hi

I just got my comso and try to set it up with Linux. Does anybody know how to run console mode ? If is run "systemctl isolate multiuser.target" the cosmo crashes immediately.
Do i need to set the right video mode first ?, where and how ? (Cant find any grub config file)

thx

This isn't possible due to the way Gemian runs. There's also no GRUB config.

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Re: Dual boot with 4g working

« on: December 16, 2023, 04:50:17 pm »

Hi,

I had the same bug with both rooted android and stock android. I'm going to try again later today if I get around to it. Will see how I go

Interesting. Are there any error messages that appear? I don't use Gemian, but I wonder if the modem needs a hard reset. You could achieve that by going into aeroplane mode and exiting again.

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Re: Partition Question

« on: December 16, 2023, 04:48:10 pm »

Sounds like you have a way forward. Yes please if I can have a script and clarity on how to use it correctly. Thank you

Hey @Robsno5!

Sorry, I completely forgot about you. It's nothing personal, I just have a lot of fingers in pies, and forget to reply to people.

In terms of flashing v23, I've created this archive just for you: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14iIv30USe8NW8BI0xZQE9_gs6lOhKAWn/view?usp=sharing

You'll need to enter 'fastboot'. Once in Fastboot, connect a USB cable to the *left* side of the Cosmo, and run the script (as root) in the archive. Make sure no other Android devices are connected.

The script should do it for you. If there are any errors, report them here for me in a code block. Then if it all flashes okay, run `fastboot reboot`, and you should be in V23, factory reset, and clean Android.

Hope that helps.
