Thank you so much mate for your explanation, time and efforts. Highly appreciated!

I think rather than trying for FydeOS5.3.1, I would rather like to have ATB v72 chromefied IMG as it will have everything working. I am currently at the point where I am happy to have everything working and follow something which has already being known to work. So if you have ATB v72 with camera migration working , if you can share the chromefied IMG , that be great. I shall highly appreciate it. Cooking is a very frustrating business as I had some dead usbs along the way and I do not want to sacrifice more on my quest! Yesterday another USB died on me and the total has exceeded 5 now. I think the most frustrating part is the amount of time you are spending on it and in the end you do not get the desired results.

Cooking just messes up the partition tables on your USBs and you can not format it in windows , linux or chromebook or even by using professional programs. Do you know of any method to bring them back to life ? I have few lying around which are detected and show correct partition size and everything, but you can not copy anything to them or format them. Cheers again mate!

UPDATE

Okay so I have a breakthrough with FydeOS 6.1 with google play, linux, camera migration and google assistant all working.

I chromefied using latest chromefy.sh (2.1)

Steps

I copied everything to my chromebook / downloads

Fyde6.1 noturne74 eve73 caroline73

In terminal

shell

cd home/chronos/user/Downloads where D is case sensitive

sudo bash chromefy.sh Fyde61.img nocturne74.bin

answer no for selinux enforcing

Chromefy again the end image with eve and caroline

sudo bash chromefy.sh Fyde61.img eve73.bin caroline73.bin

answer no for selinux enforcing

Next step, copy the Fyd61.img to a windows / linux and write it on a USB using rufus etc.

Boot with the USB.

Repartition ssd to correct size if you are planning to dd it to your hard drive!

So I think I am happy for now to have everything working and I suppose enough cooking for now until I newer builds are released!

[MENTION=258618]nabil2000[/MENTION]

thanks a ton mate. No need to upload any IMG.

Also the top row keys are similar to that of Pixelbook!

Instead of looking for what files are responsible for each key, I simply rearranged the keyboard by taking off the keys!

camera migration with FydeOS 5.3.1 with cyan 73 / caroline 73.

Great job! I can try your advice one day with FydeOS 6.1 - did you get WiFi too, I tried but there was no WiFi for me even though it's Acer C720P...

(maybe because I did not boot to FydeOS 6.1 first before chromefying?, i just chromefied after imaging)

Also, just for lolz I tested with FydeOS 5.3.1 & I did manage to get camera migration & everything else working using an old USB install I had for Intel Compute Stick, so it is possible...

in this case it was FydeOS 5.3.1 with cyan 73 / caroline 73 (& without resizing the /dev/sdb3 partition)

Google Chrome OS R74 is out- crostini sound?

Will Linux crostini sound finally sorted with Chrome OS R74 latest release? testing soon...

Using ATB v72 chromefied already internal SSD, from ATB v72 USB...

$ sudo bash chromefy2.1.sh /dev/sda3 chromeos_11895.95.0_nocturne_recovery_stable-channel_mp.bin swtpm.tar

no & no

$ sudo bash chromefy2.1.sh /dev/sda3 chromeos_11895.95.0_eve_recovery_stable-channel_mp.bin chromeos_11895.95.0_caroline_recovery_stable-channel_mp.bin

yes & no

first impressions -

webstore camera has been removed - fully replaced by Android camera migration...

camera took time to initialise, needed to have Android reactivated...

camera is laggy, so probably no hardware acceleration

I preferred webstore camera for picture quality - loads in a window - camera migration takes whole screen from camera app...

not impressed by camera - it works though ;)

next check crostini sound...

On Acer Iconia W700 - eve 74 is extremely laggy - maybe the slow USB stick - will further test with a faster USB stick... also had to powerwash...

using faster USB 3.0 stick -

crostini sound works -

using Open with GNOME MPV gives a small window rendering video

using Open with mpv Media Player gives a bigger & decent window viewing experience -

I had to use lower density to stop video lag - this is on Acer Iconia W700 which has reasonable CPU/Intel graphics specs for Windows 10 & Ubuntu 18.04 -

quality is same or better than Chrome OS native video player app.

struggles in Android with VLC, & crashes...
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
camera & camera migration

What I said earlier on camera migration & camera is not fully correct -

Full screen camera migration has become the default, but if you disable camera from Android settings, then you get what used to be webstore camera -

which means they have been integrated, depending on the app using them, either of them will be invoked.

I thought that little "discovery" deserved an entry ;) :)

Also variation between eve & cyan -

In cyan the native default is windowed not migration,

camera migration can be accessed from apps that require it, such as Skype.

In eve it's reversed, the default is camera migration,

web camera (used to be installable from webstore) is invoked by web browser cameras, or if camera is disabled from Android camera settings.

Everything works including WIFI. Compared to fyde5.31 with cyan71 Caroline 71, above settings Fyde6.31 takes 2-3s more.

Gaming which I do via psx emulator and mame, heavy games like Tekken tag tournament lag a bit more.

Other than that, no issues with Fydeos6.31
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
Lucky you - for some odd reason I could not get WiFi on Acer Iconia W700 - so had to resort to replace /dev/sdb12 syslinux/vmlinuz.A by the one from ATB v72 - it then works perfectly...

I like to use Acer I W700 because it is a hybrid tablet, & is more performant than Acer C720P.

What I found out was that one needs a fast SSD with a good USB3.0 to SSD controller to get maximum performance.

Enjoying Netflix with vanilla kernel, ROOT-A original partition

Using script of post 1 that keeps Acer Chromebook R11 cyan original kernel & root partition has advantages,

one of which is to be able to run Netflix in Android, which I enjoy membership to...

one caveat - no camera migration,

so I got a decent performing usb 3.0 stick just in case I want to play Netflix videos on Acer CB C720P in Android...

everything else works, just that ROOT-A is vanilla & kernel is Google 3.18 shipping kernel.

Acer CB R11 is closest to Acer CB C720P that has Android 7.1.1 & crostini.

Same above should apply for Acer Iconia W700 - but the ROM is now auron_paine, not cyan - Acer CB C740 is closest to Acer Iconia W700 - the kernel is 3.14, so no crostini, & probably no camera migration either...

Example - for Acer Iconia W700 - on USB /dev/sdc with ATB v72 -

$ image_file=chromeos_11895.95.0_auron-paine_recovery_stable-channel_paine-mp-v2.bin

$ rootfs_start="`cgpt show -i 3 -n -b -q $image_file`"

$ rootfs_size="`cgpt show -i 3 -n -s -q $image_file`"

$ mkdir chrome_efi_mount

$ sudo mount /dev/sdc12 chrome_efi_mount -t vfat

$ mkdir chromium_efi_mount

$ sudo mount -ro loop,offset=$((`cgpt show -i 12 -n -b -q $image_file`*512)) $image_file chromium_efi_mount

$ sudo cp chromium_efi_mount/syslinux/vmlinuz.B chrome_efi_mount/syslinux/vmlinuz.B -f

$ sudo cp chromium_efi_mount/syslinux/vmlinuz.B chrome_efi_mount/syslinux/vmlinuz.A -f

$ sudo umount chromium_efi_mount

$ sudo dd if=$image_file of=/dev/sdc3 bs=512 skip=$rootfs_start count=$rootfs_size

I also had a breakthrough with camera migration with 7.1 android and linux but no google assistant.

this is the best combination which works in my opinion

Using Fyde 6.1 as base with chromefy once with nocturne 74

Then chromefying it with cyan 73 and caroline 73

I cooked this as my previous instructions by copying all the files in my ssd

End result, camera migration working out of the box and it has no lag or anything. Everything works good and better performance than my previous cooking which had android 9 with google assistant. This also fixes the keyboard which I changed in my previous build so I am back to STOCK keyboard layout as well. I prefer this build more. dd 'd it to my ssd and using it !

Unfortunately ATB 72 using the special builds did not yield any camera migration but it seems faster than fyde in my opinion. Maybe when I do the next cooking , I can find some other ways to get camera migration working,

Also, I tried camera migration by booting in Linux but the files I am changing do not seem to have any affect on camera migration.
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
I only use ATB v72 special build as base for my final outcomes - for eve 74 - I get google assistant (which I do not use or need) & camera migration.

For camera migration you need to make sure to have the camera Vendor_ID : Device_ID in its config file

/etc/camera/camera_characteristics.conf

camera0.module0.usb_vid_pid=Vendor_ID : Device_ID

example:

camera0.module0.usb_vid_pid=04f2:b335

then disable Android camera from Android settings

run Chrome OS camera

re-enable Android camera from Android settings

test

maybe needs reboot too.

It takes time to activate, needs Android fully activated, had to remove Android & put it back...

FydeOS 6.1 does not have swtpm proxy module, so I do not use it.

A way around my FydeOS 6..1 issues is to copy over ATB v72 kernel & modules, but why bother when using ATB v72 proper is good enough.

mini-challenge -

get camera migration working in Macbook Air

camera is only recognised as Built-In in Macbook Air

to get vend_id : prod_id I had to use windows

on eve disabling Android camera gives webcam working ok

camera within android (migration) I couldn't get...

[MENTION=258618]nabil2000[/MENTION]

do you have any idea how to import drivers from one device to another ? From my understanding, the issue is due to newer versions of drivers and you need to revert them to an older version.

chromeos_12105.100.0 & above

Newest chromeos_12105.100.0 (which is v75) & above using chromefy 2.1 not working for Acer CB C720P using ABAT v72 -

I assume it will not work also with ABAT v74 (ABAT v75 not yet released).

Trying using USB with FydeOS 7.2 (Chrome OS v75) - might work, will report when tested -

Nocturne 75 then Eve 75 / Caroline 75 yields a working OS on Acer C720P (MrChromeBox firmware) but no bluetooth, so use a compatible USB BT dongle.

Same issue with Cyan 75 / Caroline 75 - it is FydeOS 7.2 not including a Bluetooth driver for Acer C720P, hopefully ABAT v75 release will fix this issue.

In conclusion to be able to chromefy successfully for Chrome OS v75, one needs Chromium OS v75 which FydeOS 7.2 provides, but ABAT has not yet released...

I checked also on BBen Intel cherrytrail Compute Stick, & there Bluetooth works (but it does not have crostini as no VT-x capability)...

all pretty routine ;)

On Acer Iconia W700 with V75 - no camera migration, though legacy camera works when disabling Android camera from Android settings, camera migration works for v74 though, with ATB v72

Latest test - ArnoldTheBat v76 vanilla special...

Chromefy is unbootable with latest 12105 Chromebook images, sad.

My method of post #1 using original kernel/Root-A partition still works.

Chromefy works successfully only using FydeOS 7.2 -

Might be End of Line for ArnoldTheBat with chromefy.

caveats - no bluetooth - use a compatible BT USB dongle

[Chromebooks] Hnk1:
Hi mate

The method one is for an old version of cyan c720P which resulted in playstore. We did not try other versions after it as google patched the method and it did not result in playstore anymore.

I think you will be more successful if you try method 2.

The last I used was cyan and eve 76 with fyde 7.1 which resulted in working playstore on cyan and I think also on dell 3120 . However, there was a sound bug which we could not solve. So we thought about using a USB audio jack which made the sound work as well.

I had success with dell 3120 on older builds as well like 70 of eve and cyan with fyde 5.3 or so.

The issue was still the sound!

If you need any help, let me know!

All the best

Thanks for the reply.

I will try fyde 7.1 with cyan/eve 76. Can you confirm that it is eve 76 and not caroline 76 with cyan ? I thought you needed caroline for the TPM stuff. Or is that not needed on chromebooks.

Also, is it possible to leave it on a USB drive and not write to SSD? Do I need to adjust USB partition sizes using gparted for that?
[Chromebooks] Hnk1:
Hi

You are right.

It's Caroline !

I have cooked one for you. It's fyde72 with cyan nocturne and caroline all 76.

https://mega.nz/#!X9kjlKjJ!oo3hD02HEcxFoRAdMo4V_-gemNvRHJYsINPsS6uB0rE

Everything works except the audio on baytrail. Everything works for me on a haswell.

You can just dd it to usb if using Linux or use something like an IMG writer.

If you are on custom firmware and not on chromeos official like mrchrombox (and screw removed from your device), you can easily boot it up.

SSD or usb is your personal choice. I prefer it on my SSD. You can dd it to your hard disk after you are happy with it on a usb.

As said before, for sound just read some posts before. Can't make it run out of the box unfortunately.

All the best

I'll suggest try galliumOS as well.

I have moved away from chromeos and am using gallium on all devices.

It might be a bit difficult transition for you if you have never used Linux before, but the possibilities are limitless.

It's more stable and more versatile in my opinion. But in the end, whatever suits you the best !

I am only suggesting so you can look into all the options available.
[Chromebooks] cbay:
Looks like link is to a directory (zipped) and not an IMG file. Don't I need an IMG file to put things in the right places

in for dd or etcher?

Also does fydeos need some kind of SMS/ FydeOS account to activate ?

And what is cyan nocturne ? Some kind of a mix? Do you have a link for it? I can't find it on

https://cros-updates-serving.appspot.com

I need the PlayStore, I don't think GalliumOS has it :)
[Chromebooks] cbay:
OK the link seems to be pointing to an IMG file now.

I was able to put it on an USB, and boot. Mostly working, some problems faced

1. Play Store blinks a few times and crashes a lot (fix: enable Night Light on, as found on xda elsewhere).

2. Purschased apps did not show up as purchased. (fix: clear data and cache of the play store app, reboot).

3. 2GB space for APPs only. Low space warnings immediate. (fix: got into gparted and increased size of sdx3 as per project croissant github page and sdx1 to whatever was unallocated on my 64GB drive)

3. Touchpad and clicking not as good (I am running off usb)

4. At least one of my play store apps which uses wifi is having connectivity issues. This might be a chrome OS 76 bug. I guess I will have to try later versions of fyde/cyan/caroline.

Netflix

Just a quick note -

Latest Cyan R80 using ATB v80 breaks Netflix using original kernel 3.18 method from post #1.

The last one with working Netflix is cyan R76 on top of ATB v76, also Netflix to use is captured in my dropbox, here is the link

Chrome OS R80 - ATB 76, 80 /notes

I am rather inactive on this because of health issues (not coronavirus thankfully, yet)...

tested cyan & eve 80 on some devices...

eve 80 with chromefy no longer works for Acer CB C720P

cyan 80 works for all my devices, but no netflix for some

cyan 76 gives a working netflix as per the previous post.

Clearly Google does cripple iterations to disallow use.

Chromefy is on the way out it seems. No netflix using chromefy.

The method described in post #1 gives better outcomes for Acer CB C720P which is very similar to Acer CB R11 in hardware,

so using original ROOT-A partition & original 3.18 kernel helps for compatibility up to Chrome OS R80 so far.

Not much, but I thought I'll post this.

Addendum - FydeOS 9.2 with chromefy cyan 76 caroline 76 yields a good Android 7.1.1 with Netflix working as per the link above, also Linux VM good & Play Store good.

The problem is chromefy does not work well with Android 8 (Chrome OS R80 & above).

Resurrecting this - FydeOS 17 Chromebook solution for normal PCs & some ARM laptops.

It is no longer possible to use the trick I used upstream for PCs but FydeOS has matured enough that it has become one full fledged solution to get Chrome OS on a PC, it is fully operational & does not need any hack or mods.

Latest version of FydeOS is 17 & they now allow even the use of Google accounts for login, though I discourage that.

I might write a report on this in a separate thread using Dell Latitude E5550 laptop.

Incidentally I managed to get Mac OS X Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra & El-Capitan to run on it.

As for Acer Chromebook C720P it can only be used with hacking ArnoldtheBat r55, with cyan of Acer Chromebook R11, latest cyan image is 103 I think, but kernel is stuck at 3.18.

Using the trick with latest cyan image 103 loses Play Store & Crostini Linux on Acer C720P.

However you get everything with fydeOS 17 not only on Acer CB C720P but on most Laptops, PCs & even some tablets.

Side note (maybe to elaborate on later):

I found that for installing Linux with crouton, the best release is Debian bullseye, it yields the best graphics rendering, it might be owing to Chrome OS uses Debian bullseye as crostini penguin virtual machines.

Ubuntu gives extremely poor graphics in fydeOS 17 (Chrome OS clone).

So I will be using Debian bullseye with crouton within fydeOS.
