Gemini PDA - Linux / Gemini UBports

« on: February 16, 2023, 04:55:00 am »

I have not seem anything posted about this on any forum so just putting this here, it seem thekit has been working on porting Ubports to geminipda. He has asked if anyone is willing to help maintain the port?

I would put my hand up but I am learning about porting droidian to cosmo.

Here is the link to the repo on github:

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Ubports for Cosmo

« on: November 05, 2020, 02:13:16 am »

There has been quite a bit of work on a ubports port for the cosmo.
To install ubports on the cosmo you will need linux installed, I will not explain that in this post as there are instruction on Planets website.

Download the latest flashable zip file (Will be named artifacts.zip) from https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/android9/planet-cosmocom/planet-cosmocom/-/pipelines.
Unzip artifacts.zip, 2 files will be unziped to a new folder call "out". The files will be called rootfs.img and boot.img.
cd to the out folder and move the rootfs.img file to / and rename it to ubuntu.img
next flash the boot.img to one of the free boot slots using the following command "dd if=~/out/boot.img of=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot4 <- the last part will need to be changed to reflect you boot slot.

Next reboot and select the boot slot with ubuntu touch. Then follow the setup instructions.

Thanks go to @TheKit for working on Ubports for cosmo.

There was an email sent out this afternoon from Planet to people that had indicated they wanted beta Linux for the Cosmo. There is a Linux beta image available for testing from Planets site. Be aware it is very early beta.
