Its a good practice to go few threads back and forth before asking any kind of questions.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
No. Lots of best porting Devs are working on it day and night. Recently I had tiny progress after changing like 70 more things but I still need more changes. In the meantime I compared J5 radio log and it's literally identical except for the part that on J5 RIL obviously works. I'll update this thread as soon as I get some progress. I also post occasional small updates in my group. Don't worry. I'm working on it all the time, but like I said. Fixing RIL is the most difficult part and it will take some time.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] matze19999:
Thanks you for all your work, really!! ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Well! Turns out that we finally got some progress with RIL! At this point RIL is finally loading, it even detects both sim cards, but it's crashing later for some reason so I'll have to analyse that. RIL in Samsung devices is seriously weird. Actually with getting progress in RIL helped me fixing RIL in Pixel fw (which at this point is bugless except for no sound during calls, but once OneUI is working, I'll most likely start working on Pixel fw again since it's almost perfect now). Hopefully now OneUI RIL will be fixed any day now.

And quick Q&A:

Q: Can You use S10 firmware to fix bugs faster?

A: No. S10 fw uses SD855 and would require me to mod vendor a lot. One day when RIL works on SD845 base, I'll switch to S10 base, and if it won't work then I'll add S10 stuff to N9 firmware.

Q: Why is there no 6T support?

A: Well. Patching vendor with N9 stuff is very weird. I have to use 2 separate vendor patchers, and they literally don't work every time. For example I can delete camera file and boot will be broken, then I re-add it and then delete it again AND IT WORKS! It's extremely confusing, and to patch 6T vendor, I'd need to have 6T and then manually patch it with my patchers and then try to adjust broken things and readd them until everything works and then turn it into a TWRP backup.

Q: Can't You just give us patchers then?

A: Well.. No. First reason is that obviously they won't work and they will just give You a bootloop (no idea why). And second reason is.. kanging. I don't want to give everyone a perfect set of all files needed to boot OneUI and all bug fixes (Devs who got OneUI to boot by themselves already got my bug fixes and we're all working together on RIL now). I know there are benefits to that and other people could boot it and then help with fixing bugs.. but.. if You can't make Your own OneUI booting vendor patcher then You most likely won't know how to fix bugs. (No joke, booting OneUI was kinda easier than fixing audio for example) And let's not forget that You'd have to mod existing vendor patches to match Your device. And I don't even care about people not giving credits to me. But Guzram also spent quite a lot of time on getting a list of files and that list of files did help me in the beginning and he definitely deserves credits for that. (Guzram also requested me to add some security to all our hard work, that's why vendor twrp backup is the best solution)

That's it. Hopefully soon RIL will be fixed.. (no etas though). :fingers-crossed:

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Actually it's not easy to port at all. It's 32bit. So won't boot on OP6. But thanks for the link anyway! :)

And to everyone else a small update.. I'm still working on it. I tried different bases too which didn't boot so I'm guessing Samsung changed something to break boot in latest builds. And in the January update that I'm mostly working on. I found two ways to "fix RIL" and in logs I can see phone number etc. But OS doesn't boot for no reason. And even if logcat does say why it doesn't boot, I can't really read it because of socket fd-1 spam.

I'm experimenting with many things and trying to figure out how to get it to work but yeah. And Just because I'm not posting any updates here doesn't mean that I gave up :o.

Little update.. I managed to port S10+ OneUI and now here's the list of things that have improved/changed:

OneUI now is lightning fast, same or even faster than OOS.

No more deodex slow down

RIL "works" better than in Note9 OneUI but it's still FAR from perfect

Size of OneUI is 5GB so it cannot be flashed without resizing system which is NOT user friendly.

Init process requires two different inits, one to properly "extract" the OS into data partition, and other one to properly load OP6 hardware (not user friendly either)

Headphones work now too!

I really wanted to post it here today but since the process of getting it to boot is so difficult and not user friendly at all, I'll just keep working on it until I find a better way. Anyway, check out some screens below :)

If you're going to answer this, I would also say that you shouldn't be flashing custom ROMs. This ROM is made specifically for the OnePlus 6, hence it being called a port for the OnePlus 6 and it being on the OnePlus 6 XDA page

Go to Erfan's GSIs, he has OneUI GSI port which works on all Treble devices
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ProtoDeVNan0:
Not exactly on all Treble devices. In fact I have two phones that can only boot one of his sGSI roms. A/B is a mess when it comes to these roms. And his roms also need bigger system partition than what we have (not a problem anymore as we have EPR). But yeah, init, selinux etc, basically mess when it comes to booting anything on this phone or A/B in general. I was hoping that Android 10 would make stuff easier but nope. It's even worse now. Now on top of init and selinux we also have Apex and Codec2 lol.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] MotexT:
Yeah but for this reasons you should flash also zygoyte_fix and permissiver (kinda selinux fixer)

[G2 and Desire Z General] mberndt:
Hi there,

I have recently ported postmarketOS [1] to the HTC Desire Z. postmarketOS is a Linux distribution for mobile devices based on Alpine Linux and the primary platform for KDE's Plasma Mobile desktop.

Note that this work is nowhere near ready for productive use, at least not as a phone. It boots, the weston demo UI starts and you can ssh into it via USB or Wifi (use nmtui or nmcli to configure it), but that's pretty much it. I'm posting here in the hope that other developers might be interested in joining this effort. It might be useful as small server for personal use, perhaps to host a NextCloud instance or something like that.

For installation instructions, refer to the Installation Guide at [3] and the wiki page for the HTC Desire Z at [4]. It should be possible to run postmarketOS without installing anything at all on the phone (other than an unlocked bootloader) by installing onto a microSD card and booting via the `fastboot boot` command.

[1] https://postmarketos.org/

[3] https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide

[4] https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z_(htc-vision)

P. S. If you're wondering why I didn't put this in the developers' section where it belongs: It's because I'm not allowed to post there due to being a new member, and for the same reason I can't post proper links. In order to prevent spam, new users are required to spam 10 posts in order to be able to do perfectly legitimate things. How ironic :silly:
[G2 and Desire Z General] C-Base:
First of all, thank you for your time working this out and notifying us, I really appreciate all the people that keep my fine (but old) hardware usable.

I have 3 Desire-Z's (now running cyanogenmod), and would like to try PostMarketOS on one of them.

What is the state of the device? Can I use PostmarketOS to safely browse the web?

Do you have any specific instructions for the microSDcard installation? Is it just installing/running the pmbootstrap command on my linux machine with the correct sdcard device, insert the sdcard into my Desire Z and then starting it with volume-down button pressed, until the (in my case already unlocked) bootloeader menu appears and then running 'fastboot boot <what parameter goes here?>' from the connected linux computer?
