The Volla 22 (Gigaset GS5) Thread

[ric9k]

About Waydroid:

@piggz

edit the file /etc/gbinder.d and change aidl2 to aidl3

Is this still necessary for the GS5?

Also, on the Waydroid Github page, it is advised to install waydroid-gbinder-config-hybris or waydroid-gbinder-config-mainline.
Which one is the good one for the GS5, please?

I tried the way described bo @Seven.of.nine, the way described on the Github page, modified /etc/gbinder.d or not, I can’t get WD to start. (Really tried and read for some hours)

Here is my log:

Mainly, from the log, I’d say I see:

[waydroid-sensors-daemon] Failed to create SensorfwTemperatureSensor: Could not create sensorfw backend

and

lxc-start: waydroid: utils.c: lxc_can_use_pidfd: 1772 Kernel does not support pidfds

But… well, I’m drying a bit.

@ric9k

Which one is the good one for the GS5, please?

The ‘hybris’ version.

For me it didn’t work before changing aidl2 to aidl3. This occurs 4 times in the file.

[piggz]

thats interesting … for the gs5, i manually create all the stock users and groups … its possible one is missing. could you compare against a regular volla?

[poetaster]

Ok, I’ll give it a go tomorrow. Are they just vigr / /etc/password and co?

[ric9k]

Thanks, @Seven.of.nine.

Progressing!
I uninstalled and removed waydroid files, then I installed from Chum:
-Waydroid
-Waydroid Runner
-with zypper: waydroid-gbinder-config-hybris.
Then, I did waydroid init.
It downloaded and extracted https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/system/lineage/waydroid_arm64/lineage-18.1-20230422-VANILLA-waydroid_arm64-system.zip/download and https://sourceforge.net/projects/waydroid/files/images/vendor/waydroid_arm64/lineage-18.1-20230422-HALIUM_11-waydroid_arm64-vendor.zip/download

I edited the file /etc/gbinder.d/anbox-hybris.conf and changed aidl2 to aidl3.
Uncommented #bind-interfaces in /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Rebooted.

Starting WD from the app grid,
The spinner turns and it says “Starting Android session”, then "Waiting for Android UI and nothing after that.

Wooow,
I missed this one. I only focussed on “aidl3”.
Many thanks @Pasik2 for repeating for distracted guys!

Impressing, a whole android-alike environment has just started full screen!

Here repeated in text mode to ease copy-paste:

Thank you,
Do you think it is just sufficient to add vpn:x:1016: into /etc/group?
Also something to add into /etc/passwd?

I could try but am being very prudent as the GS5 is already my daily since the second day

Btw, @piggz, is there a way to clone the entire system as we can do with dd into recovery mode on the e.g. XA2’s /dev/mmcblk0p76?

[poetaster]

Adding the vpn group/user should be just fine.

adduser vpn --system --shell=/sbin/nologin --no-create-home

Is what I did.

@ric9k

Generally, both SIMS are working, hence two PINs asked, or none.
Perhaps yes, procedure is different for double SIM models…

I just noticed that if I DON’T set Pin code which just happened by accident, it reboots and finds the SIM and connects just fine. So, @piggz it looks like it is the Pin code setting itself which causes issues. Perhaps can’t be read properly when set to ‘on’ … it’s odd. Right now, just to reassure myself, I rebooted without Pin code set and it immediately worked.

[ric9k]

I did too but withoit results. I’ll try to compare/post the log when I have time.

[ric9k]

I’m not sure.
Maybe, if you try again, it’ll be the opposite.
I rebooted/booted/battery away +booted tens of times. With or without PIN fiddling.
The only +/- regular behaviour I could deduce is a beauty of scientific conclusion:
“After some tries, it finally always works. Between 1 and 4, generally”.

Still in pure subjectivity, if I dare, I’d conntradict you about the PIN setting. I have the feeling it does nothing, as validation is not possible and as it seems not to influence the results.
Haha at this point, it is more clairvoyant than something else.

[poetaster]

Well, I only have datapoints on two devices but with the rephone and the GS5 the behaviour is the same. With the Pin code simply disabled, they both come up and get 4G without any action.

The a) turn off Pin code, b) turn it on, c) verify with Pin code, d) shut down Settings app, e) reboot dance is also the same on both devices. I’ll have to try it with two SIM cards when I get a chance.

[ric9k]

Ok.
I’ll try again then.
The good point is that it is always working at the end, making this port/device trustable

I have two Volla 22 phones. In the second, the sim card pin query is always off. Even so, 1-4 reboots are required. On the other phone, the pin code inquiry is always on and the result is the same, 1-4 reboots for the sim to work.

[teracube]

I have updated successful my GS5 to 4.5.0.21 via SSU UR

[poetaster]

Weird. I’ve repeated my ‘Open settings, unset Pin Code, Set Pin code, Close settings, reboot’ procedure repeatedly and it always works. Just rebooted, for the hell of it, the GS5 which has Pin Code off and it just worked. I wonder if there’s something else in the mix. Something I have installed or configured. Hmmm. I’ll wait to dig until I’ve got 4.5.0.21 on those devices.

[jenix]

I bought a rephone (yay, 6 GB of ram) and successfully flashed the 4.4.0.72 build for the Volla 22. Thank you, piggz, for all the amazing work.
Unfortunately, I noticed that the volume buttons are not working in SFOS. The physical press seems to get detected. When the phone is suspended (sleep mode) and I press one of the buttons (Vol Up in this case), there is a wakeup event in the journal:

However, pressing the buttons when the phone is active does not change the volume. Can it be that they are wrongly mapped on the rephone? Is there any way to find out?

Also, as the screen of the Volla 22 / rephone has rounded edges and the front camera in the top middle, some of the screen content isn’t displayed properly. The major issue with that is that the clock (which sits in the middle of the top bar) gets completely covered by the front camera. I presume you can manipulate the layout of the top bar, maybe align the clock on the left (next to the battery indicator). Anyone know how to do that?
