2016-06-20 12:36:31	@kido	faenil: good job for your talk at QtDay ! :)
2016-06-20 12:36:41	faenil	kido: thanks man :)
2016-06-20 15:33:02	Asara	kido: how do you see how much battery is left?
2016-06-20 15:33:14	Asara	also what is the timeline of installing to the watch instead of having to fastboot eveyr time
2016-06-20 15:33:17	Asara	:)
2016-06-20 15:34:55	@kido	Asara: don't you have battery percentage in the quick settings page ? (when you are on the main clock screen scroll up)
2016-06-20 15:36:50	@kido	to replace android you can use "fastboot flash boot boot.img" instead of "fastboot boot boot.img". It will still load a loop partition on android's virtual internal sdcard though. If you flash the rootfs on top of the system partition it should work
2016-06-20 15:37:09	@kido	I highly recommend doing a backup of those partitions first though
2016-06-20 15:38:13	Asara	oh nice i do
2016-06-20 15:38:29	Asara	hm.
2016-06-20 15:38:31	Asara	HM.
2016-06-20 15:38:38	Asara	has it been done before?
2016-06-20 15:38:43	 *	Asara is willing to go into no mans land
2016-06-20 15:39:03	@kido	I don't think so :)
2016-06-20 15:39:26	@kido	I mean, I already flashed my boot partitions but never messed with the system partition
2016-06-20 15:40:06	@kido	so you might have a surprise there, that's why you should definitely keep a backup
2016-06-20 15:40:12	Asara	alright
2016-06-20 15:40:15	 *	Asara is gonna do it.
2016-06-20 15:40:18	Asara	don't try and stop me!
2016-06-20 15:40:19	Asara	lol
2016-06-20 15:40:23	@kido	ahah
2016-06-20 15:40:28	@kido	I'm not trying !
2016-06-20 15:41:08	Asara	okay so first reboot into bootloader, fastboot to backup the partitions to my computer, fastboot to flash the images, and done?
2016-06-20 15:41:42	@kido	that's right but I'm not sure if you can backup from fastboot
2016-06-20 15:43:19	@kido	for example you can use TWRP in your recovery partition
2016-06-20 15:44:56	Asara	now i'm scared.
2016-06-20 15:44:56	Asara	lol
2016-06-20 15:44:57	Asara	kidding
2016-06-20 15:46:08	@kido	flash twrp on recovery, boot it,  backup,  pull the backups on your pc, try to reflash them just to make sure, wipe data in order not to use the rootfs.ext2 loop file, reboot to bootloader, flash asteroid's boot.img on top of boot partition, flash rootfs on top of system and reboot. If anything goes wrong you can go back to bootloader by swiping LG screen from top left to bottom right then choose to boot
2016-06-20 15:46:08	@kido	recovery and you'll get access to adb and restore backup ;)
2016-06-20 15:47:53	@kido	there is pretty much no way you can brick your device, you should just be careful if you want to avoid high level of adrenaline in your veins :)
2016-06-20 15:51:44	@kido	so I have an image with Qt 5.6 here, it works pretty well unless you want to close an app. at that point things start to mess up pretty bad until your filesystem... gets wiped! :D this is a pretty wild beast actually
2016-06-20 15:53:08	@kido	of course it's also hidden behing an heisenbug, (it wouldn't be fun enough otherwise) if I try to gdb asteroid-launcher ld-linux.so segfaults straight away
2016-06-20 16:17:16	TheAppleMan	you'll need to modify the init script to load from new partitions if you repartition the disk
2016-06-20 16:18:02	TheAppleMan	say, if you want to use more of the 4GB space for asteroid
2016-06-20 16:19:16	TheAppleMan	https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-bass-hybris/blob/master/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot-android/machine.conf
2016-06-20 16:31:29	Asara	twrp looks amazing on the watch haha
2016-06-20 16:49:49	Asara	so system shows up at 0mb
2016-06-20 16:49:52	Asara	in twrp
2016-06-20 16:50:14	Asara	failed to mount /system
2016-06-20 16:50:16	Asara	:(
2016-06-20 16:51:10	Asara	and when i select system in mount
2016-06-20 16:51:12	Asara	it just does nothing
2016-06-20 17:02:54	@kido	TheAppleMan: using the whole system partition should be enough. but the default image's size is much smaller, he would have to extend the partition somehow
2016-06-20 17:05:11	@kido	Asara: anyway this will probably work http://forum.xda-developers.com/watch-urbane/development/guide-return-to-stock-g-watch-urbane-t3213603
2016-06-20 17:09:10	Asara	kido: i suddenly don't care about backing stuff up
2016-06-20 17:09:19	@kido	;)
2016-06-20 17:09:21	Asara	i can just install the default stuff
2016-06-20 17:09:21	Asara	word.
2016-06-20 17:09:22	Asara	word.
2016-06-20 17:09:28	Asara	so
2016-06-20 17:09:31	Asara	how do i do this
2016-06-20 17:10:34	@kido	yes those images should be enough
2016-06-20 17:11:26	@kido	well just reboot to bootloader and use fastboot flash boot & fastboot flash system with the thing you want to flash (for asteroid it will be zImage-dtb.bass.fastboot and the rootfs)
2016-06-20 17:12:35	Asara	erasing system
2016-06-20 17:12:40	Asara	sending sparse 'system'
2016-06-20 17:12:56	Asara	FAILED (remote: size too large)
2016-06-20 17:12:56	Asara	finished. total time: 8.954s
2016-06-20 17:14:08	@kido	mhhh you should compare the size of asteroid's rootfs and android's system partition
2016-06-20 17:15:02	@kido	and if data partition is larger then you might want to flash asteroid's rootfs on top of the data partition and change that line https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-bass-hybris/blob/master/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot-android/init.sh#L100
2016-06-20 17:15:38	@kido	to boot data instead of system
2016-06-20 17:34:42	Asara	kido: yeah... system.img ->256 MB
2016-06-20 17:34:49	Asara	asteroid-> 457MB
2016-06-20 17:35:04	@kido	ahah it has good reasons not to fit then
2016-06-20 17:35:19	@kido	well this is bad news that we are so fat
2016-06-20 17:35:37	Asara	alright so what do i do here?  fastboot flash data rootfs.ext2
2016-06-20 17:35:52	Asara	then mount the /boot and change that init line to point to data instead of system?
2016-06-20 17:35:53	@kido	this is also an idea of contribution, if anyone wants to make asteroid more lightweight it's highly welcome
2016-06-20 17:36:08	@kido	Asara: that's it but you will have a hard time mounting boot
2016-06-20 17:36:19	@kido	so you should just modify the script in your asteroid's build directory
2016-06-20 17:36:26	@kido	src directory*
2016-06-20 17:36:43	Asara	I removed everything after the build
2016-06-20 17:36:45	@kido	then build a new linux-bass and flash your fresh new boot.img
2016-06-20 17:36:48	 *	Asara felt bad using work stuff
2016-06-20 17:36:54	@kido	ah
2016-06-20 17:36:54	Asara	alright i'll just build it again idc
2016-06-20 17:36:55	Asara	:D
2016-06-20 17:37:12	@kido	well if you use bitabke linux-bass instead of bitbake asteroid-image
2016-06-20 17:37:19	@kido	it should be *much* faster
2016-06-20 17:37:41	@kido	it will still take you some time to re-build the cross compilation toolchain and so on
2016-06-20 17:37:44	@kido	but overall it should be ok
2016-06-20 17:49:59	Asara	oh
2016-06-20 17:50:04	Asara	it seems like I never removed the stuffs
2016-06-20 17:50:08	@kido	hehe
2016-06-20 17:52:44	Asara	kido: there is a env variable here for the system_parition
2016-06-20 17:52:56	Asara	can i specify data_partition instead? (i'm assuming there is no variable set for that lol)
2016-06-20 17:52:57	@kido	yep, it's set from machine.conf
2016-06-20 17:53:30	@kido	sdcard_partition should be what you want
2016-06-20 17:54:47	@kido	damn QtWayland changed every API in 5.7 it's a mess to upgrade lipstick
2016-06-20 19:46:21	Asara	okay i went to lunch and just got back
2016-06-20 20:02:18	@kido	tell us if you have any problem
2016-06-20 20:02:27	@kido	I mean, any *new* problem
2016-06-20 20:22:41	Asara	FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
2016-06-20 20:22:58	Asara	when doing fastboot flash data bass/asteroid-image-bass-20160620180724.rootfs.ext2
2016-06-20 20:23:02	@kido	mhhhh

2016-06-20 20:25:53	Asara	Invalid sparse file format at header magi
2016-06-20 20:26:08	Asara	could that be why?
2016-06-20 20:27:59	@kido	ok I was afraid you would have somehow lost your watch's partition table but it seems that asteroid-image-bass-20160620180724.rootfs.ext2 is just in a wrong format
2016-06-20 20:28:15	@kido	like, it can't be directly flashed like that
2016-06-20 20:28:30	Asara	ah
2016-06-20 20:30:03	Asara	save me kido
2016-06-20 20:30:04	@kido	mhhhh, maybe you should just try to push the ext2 file to sdcard like you would normaly do from android wear but from TWRP
2016-06-20 20:30:20	Asara	er...
2016-06-20 20:30:22	@kido	once you get something working we will be able to search how to make it work more cleanly
2016-06-20 20:30:25	Asara	how would taht work?
2016-06-20 20:30:32	@kido	with loop mounting :/
2016-06-20 20:30:44	@kido	I don't like that but let's make your watch work first
2016-06-20 20:30:58	Asara	ok booting to twrp
2016-06-20 20:31:54	Asara	push the ext2 file to sdcard like you would normaly do from android wear but from twrp
2016-06-20 20:31:57	Asara	er... ?
2016-06-20 20:32:03	Asara	as in adb push?
2016-06-20 20:32:47	@kido	yes
2016-06-20 20:33:30	@kido	from twrp you should have your watch in adb devices, at this point you should also be able to get a shell with adb shell. if you see you have /sdcard/linux/ then you can adb push the ext2 file to the usual place
2016-06-20 20:35:31	Asara	~ # ls /sdcard/linux/
2016-06-20 20:35:31	Asara	rootfs.ext2
2016-06-20 20:35:59	@kido	okay you can push your file
2016-06-20 20:36:33	@kido	when rebooting it should mount that file
2016-06-20 20:40:18	Asara	which file do i push?
2016-06-20 20:40:29	@kido	asteroid-image-bass-20160620180724.rootfs.ext2
2016-06-20 20:40:36	@kido	just as usual
2016-06-20 20:41:25	Asara	i mean that already works :P
2016-06-20 20:44:00	@kido	oh your watch already boots to asteroid by default? sorry didn't get it
2016-06-20 20:44:17	@kido	somehow, I thought you were stuck on boot logo sorry
2016-06-20 20:45:06	Asara	wait not by default
2016-06-20 20:45:14	Asara	OH
2016-06-20 20:45:18	Asara	so by cvhanging the bootloader
2016-06-20 20:45:29	Asara	to point to /data/linux/rootfs.ext2
2016-06-20 20:45:37	Asara	it should boot to asteroid by default?
2016-06-20 20:45:47	@kido	wait
2016-06-20 20:45:57	@kido	the bootloader is the proprietary component that allow you use fastboot
2016-06-20 20:46:12	@kido	it allows you to flash partitions or load a boot.img from usb
2016-06-20 20:46:17	Asara	i mean the init*
2016-06-20 20:46:30	Asara	ah nice
2016-06-20 20:46:31	Asara	fantastic
2016-06-20 20:46:38	Asara	it boots to asteroid
2016-06-20 20:46:38	@kido	and yes the init which is in the ramfs which is in the boot.img can load anything you want
2016-06-20 20:46:39	Asara	:D
2016-06-20 20:46:45	@kido	cool! :)
2016-06-20 20:47:04	@kido	the problem is that it mount this file in loop which is pretty bad
2016-06-20 20:47:19	Asara	ah
2016-06-20 20:47:19	@kido	I would like to replace the data partition with the content of this file
2016-06-20 20:47:24	Asara	how do i do it
2016-06-20 20:47:26	Asara	LETS DO IT kido
2016-06-20 20:47:31	 *	Asara is hyped
2016-06-20 20:47:54	@kido	ahah, well it's just a matter of finding how to pack the ext2 file so that fastboot accepts to flash it :D
2016-06-20 21:16:59	@kido	alright, we got Qt 5.6 working :) (actually I'm quite surprised by how smoother the experience seems)
2016-06-20 21:35:42	Asara	kido:
2016-06-20 21:35:43	Asara	The fasthalt and fastboot utilities are nothing more than aliases for the halt and reboot utilities.
2016-06-20 21:35:48	Asara	- FreeBSD
2016-06-20 21:36:10	@kido	yes pretty bad naming
2016-06-20 21:37:18	Asara	kido: i think android uses ext4 for system.img
2016-06-20 21:37:42	Asara	never mind ext2 should work
2016-06-20 21:37:42	Asara	h.m
2016-06-20 21:38:39	@kido	Asara: https://github.com/shr-distribution/meta-smartphone/blob/shr/meta-android/classes/android_image_types.bbclass
2016-06-20 21:38:53	@kido	we should probably choose this image format somewhere
2016-06-20 21:39:16	@kido	I have to go, I let you check if you find anything useful around that
2016-06-20 21:39:29	@kido	but I'm quite confident this is the way to go
2016-06-20 21:39:46	Asara	oh god i have no idea what you mean
2016-06-20 21:39:47	Asara	:D
2016-06-20 21:40:22	@kido	https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-bass-hybris/blob/master/conf/machine/bass.conf#L25
2016-06-20 21:40:34	Asara	ah ha
2016-06-20 21:40:40	@kido	try to change ext2 to ext4.fastboot
2016-06-20 21:40:52	@kido	set ANDROID_BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE and ANDROID_BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE
2016-06-20 21:41:09	Asara	any recommendation for those two sizes?
2016-06-20 21:41:24	@kido	build asteroid-image and you should get an ext4.fastboot file in your build directory that can probably be flashed by fastboot on top of the data partition
2016-06-20 21:41:49	@kido	well it depends on the data partition you have
2016-06-20 21:41:57	@kido	I mean, I don't know the size of your data partition
2016-06-20 21:42:19	@kido	you can get inspired by that https://github.com/shr-distribution/meta-smartphone/blob/a606b89dbcff460c74517f621bd2630998c466fd/meta-asus/conf/machine/include/grouper.inc#L40
2016-06-20 21:42:27	@kido	but the values depend on your device
2016-06-20 21:42:33	Asara	tis the urbane
2016-06-20 21:42:43	Asara	i'll look into it if you don't know off the top of your head
2016-06-20 21:42:49	TheAppleMan	yeah i never looked at the partition table
2016-06-20 21:43:33	@kido	TheAppleMan: sure, this is something new
2016-06-20 21:43:41	Asara	yay i'm a part of smoething new
2016-06-20 21:43:41	Asara	woo
2016-06-20 21:43:42	Asara	lol
2016-06-20 21:44:59	@kido	of course you are :) this is the exciting part
2016-06-20 21:47:12	Asara	TheAppleMan: ANDROID_BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION = "mmcblk0p15"

2016-06-20 21:47:15	Asara	would that be it?
2016-06-20 21:52:36	TheAppleMan	good question, i don't actually know what they control
2016-06-20 21:53:09	Asara	time to wing it.
2016-06-20 22:14:29	Asara	okay remaking the image
2016-06-20 22:14:32	Asara	and then i'll try to flash it
