| rdr | reading the hadk, seems like the important thing is having one of the base OS's available and binary drivers, so theoretically a port to my Pixel 7 Pro might be possible? | 03:13 |
|---|---|---|
| rdr | oh, maybe they run too new versions of Android? It says only 8 9 and 10 from Lineage OS? or could a newer version work? | 03:14 |
| rdr | would Lineage 20.0 be usable as an Android base? Sorry for asking so many questions | 03:17 |
| T42 | <k1gen> rdr: you can theoretically use lineage 20 as a base, once mal releases the patches, but I'm unsure if Tensor architecture will allow anything but android to run on the device but android | 03:31 |

| rdr | oh interesting, so it has that T2 chip. it does have an unlockable bootloader but I imagine that's just for Android? | 03:32 |
| T42 | <k1gen> all pixels have unclockable bootloaders iirc, but I don't think anyone tried to run linux on Tensor chips yet | 03:33 |
| T42 | <k1gen> as K31j0 put it some time ago "anything past [pixel] 5 will suck to port because it's exynos in disguise" | 03:34 |
| rdr | is it just kernel sources or something else that makes it hard to port stuff to Exynos and similar? | 03:35 |
| rdr | I just imagine Google being pretty open, in that they don't void your warranty when you unlock the bootloader | 03:36 |
| rdr | maybe that's a misconception | 03:36 |
| T42 | <k1gen> I am porting sailfish on pixel 4 here for a ~month now, so there's that | 03:36 |
| T42 | <k1gen> hey @K31j0, what did you mean by that phrase? | 03:37 |
| rdr | oh yeah, so 5 and previous were snapdragon and easier i imagine | 03:37 |
| T42 | <k1gen> it didn't seem important for me to ask about it yesterday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 03:37 |
| rdr | well you didn't have a tensor haha | 03:37 |
| T42 | <k1gen> yeah :) | 03:38 |
| rdr | maybe I should get an older device where things are more stable | 03:38 |
| T42 | <k1gen> I think snapdragon inside made my life a lot easier | 03:38 |
| T42 | <k1gen> well, I thought that I should buy something old too a month ago but then I tried porting to pixel 4 and it turned out well - all I have not working now is audio in calls and video capture | 03:40 |
| T42 | <k1gen> but Tensor chip may be a pain, so if you don't want to waste your time and want to get a fully functional sailfish device in the end - you can buy something older with a decent snapdragon. I'd try with pixel 7 pro, but I'm a student, I have a lot of free time | 03:43 |
| T42 | <k1gen> I just woke up in early morning and found an interesting conversation. gonna get back to sleep :) | 03:47 |
