Astro Slide - Android / Re: Rooting the Astro Slide

« on: February 26, 2023, 01:43:01 pm »

Hello, I would like to know, at the moment:

   - Is it possible to install linux on the astro ?
   - Does the Root wiki work well ? Is there a problem with the IMEI ?

I want to use rooted android. or linux in the absence of sailfishos

I didn't have time to test it thoroughly, just 2 hours.
I have a lot of positives to highlight, far from the criticisms I've heard, but I'll expand on that later.
My first feedback is that it seems to correspond to the smartphone of my dreams, a worthy successor to my Qtek 9000.
The keyboard is a pure delight.

Good morning,
 Finally, not being ready to be delivered (maybe in 1 year or 2...), I bought an astro from a French baker.

 I am writing to you from here.

 I'm delighted, but now I want to root it

Following the recommendations of each other, I ordered this protection :

I hope it will adapt well to my future Astro which I should receive in a year or two (contribution N°105XX). For 25€ delivered, I did not take too big a risk.

Oulah, it's scary comma I hope the situation will get better soon.
In view of the work carried out so far bay planet computer, i find it hard to imagine that the project will fall through.

Hope the future does not prove you right.

Thank you, it's a good idea, I'm going to see in the cosmo sub-section.

I don't know how you manage to stay so calm, I can't stay still so much that I can't wait to get it lol.

Edit : Wah ! Indeed, i went to see (https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo) and it's very encouraging, I have no more doubts for the future, happy to have chosen astro.

Thank you very much, you have been much clearer than Indiegogo and Planet Computer combined.
You are a very good contributor, I hope you will be rewarded soon.

Regarding rooting, i currently have an Honor Note 10 and if I had known that the charger was locked like this, I would never have bought it.  I read on a forum that astro was released.  I hope this is the case and that we will have the pleasure of loading custom roms under android, linux and ubuntu touch.

That's great, just for information, what OS/Rom are you considering?

Thanks

thank you very much Daniel for your detailed answer.  I'm having trouble understanding indiegogo.  There were only three devices left available for the 30% promotional offer, but after ordering my "perk?"  I saw this counter decrease and then go up again to 3.
 My contribution id has the number 10xxx but that does not tell me at all about the progress of the expedition.
 moreover, I have until October 8 to cancel my order, after which I lose the indiegogo guarantee... This is not very encouraging.
 for linux emulators, thank you for sharing but it seems to me that you have to load a desktop (xfce?) to launch sublime text and I fear that it will be heavy on a mediatek 800. I will try later.

I just cracked... I hope it will be possible to tweak it. Just running Sublime text natively would satisfy me.

You convinced me on the keyboard, thank you, but you didn't answer any of my questions.

What worries me a little is that on the lineage OS and ubuntu touch sites, the Pro1 is referenced, there is even an instruction guide on the 2 sites. On the other hand, the Astro does not exist.

Hi everyone, I need help to help me choose my smartphone.

Currently I hesitate between Pro1 and the Astro.

In the benefits of the Pro1, I saw that it has a bootloader officially released and compatibility Lineage OS and Ubuntu Touch, this is super ! 

And for Astro ? Can you run a program linux ? The forum of the Astro dedicated to Linux is sadly empty. Linux is important to me because I have to do to turn Sublime Text so optimal 

Then I saw on indiegogo.com you can acquire the first production unit of the Astro-pre-order for 573€, but also the second production unit for 699€. But what is the difference ? I have no information on it.

Thank you for clarifying  :'(
