While I don't have any mobile device I can install #postmarketOS on (other than my Nexus 7 tablet), I _do_ have my x86-based corebooted Chromebook... Why don't I install the generic x86_64 port onto it?
And that's what I did. It works!
...The touchscreen does not work for whatever reason even though it worked under Arch, which kinda defeats the purpose of what I need this laptop for. :/ Also Phosh is kinda slow. I'll probably go back, just for now.
@zaunz yes. took some tries (a lot of tries) for me to consistently get into APX mode but I managed to flash both the bootloader and then flash pmOS with the uboot fastboot mode thing. it's specifically a 2012 model nexus 7, wifi model without mobile data support.
Attached: 2 images Finally I have managed to flash #postmarketOS onto my old Nexus 7 tablet, the only device I have that supports pmOS. It took some attempts (...a lot of attempts) to get into APX mode and do the whole backup the bootloader and flash u-boot thing, and accidentally bricking the bootloader once during the process, before I could actually flash the pmOS image onto it. So cool! ...Well, it doesn't have hardware acceleration, XFCE is not really intended for touchscreen devices, and in general it seems slow even when I'm connected via SSH.
