What about gcam?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] x0xcdrx0x:
Thanks for the quick reply :) I will not upgrade to android 10 probably, just for the gestures and the dark theme... and I use the face unlocking feature very often so for me the trade-off isn't good enough
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Baron60:
So now you will put your phone at risk while using it on the internet as it won't get any more update to fix security flaws and bug fixes. Just because you want to use a really insecure face unlock and that be tricked by a piece of paper of your face..

Issue-When device is off and you plug charger, charging symbol appears on the screen but nothing else happens. After that you can't boot the device with power button and that symbol remains even if you remove the cable. Only way to boot is to press Vol - & power. It's not a big issue but very annoying. Anyone else running custom ROM, please check & confirm what happens when you put charging cable with phone off? Anyone know how to fix?

I have flashed many ROMs including GSIs as I thought this was a ROM issue but issue remains on every ROM. Currently running lineage-17.1-20200413-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN which is working fine/
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Sindrom:
Hi. That charge symbol only works with one ui ROMs.

By the way can you give the link of lineage is you are using? And your vendor version? Do you have root access?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers] Lu Han:
Oh you're talking about offline charging, yeah like the previous person it works only One UI rom, On GSI it won't and it's a known issue.

From Project Croissant thread

I thougth this project might be better discussed in it's own thread... :)

[MENTION=1540557]ralphwiggum1[/MENTION]: Can you share how you got reFind to work? I have updated manual.conf with the following, but it gives me an error:

Starting (null)

Using load options 'initrd=(loop'

Error: Not Found uhile loading (null)

* Hit any key to continue *

Here is what I have in my refind manual.conf file - which matches what I have in my Linux Mint grub2 (which boots up great):

menuentry "ChromeOS (boot from disk image)" {
img_part=/dev/sda4
img_path=/ChromeOS/chromeos.img
search --no-floppy --set=root --file $img_path
loopback loop $img_path
linux (loop,gpt7)/kernel boot=local noresume noswap loglevel=7 disablevmx=off \
cros_secure options=enable_updates cros_debug loop.max_part=16 img_part=$img_part img_path=$img_path
initrd (loop,gpt7)/initramfs.img
}

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

ralphwiggum1: I get the error above when adding a different OS - so I must be using the manual.conf wrong. Is there anything special you did to get reFind to recognize this loopback device as a boot option? Thanks!
[Chromebooks] ralphwiggum1:
I'm using Refind, but using it to load Grub. Refind may not have all the capabilities of Grub to be able to boot Chrome OS, at least I don't think it can.

With sebanc/brunch, I was actually wrong before, they do say to copy the grub info to your existing grub config. I had missed that part.

So if you're already using grub, you could add your Chrome OS menuentry to it, but it may not be possible to make it a separate item in your refind boot screen. In that case, just copy the sebanc/brunch boot files to another folder on your system's efi boot partition and make a folder called 'cros' or something. It's just the grub loader and the grub.conf. Then just make an option in refind to load that grub file. You can maybe play with that grub's config file to not show the grub menu and autoload the first menuentry.

Hope this helps.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
Thank you for the suggestion - I will probably give it a try. Right now I have successfully added it to the Linux Mint grub menu. But I can't resist tinkering. :)
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
We should probably have this discussion in this thread, as it is not about Project Croissant...

So are you following the dual boot instructions to create the ChromeOS IMG file? Make sure you follow all the steps.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Sorry about that. I followed the YouTube video on the link in the Croissant thread to create the USB Linux with the Chrome OS folder inside. But when I try to install it presents me with the errors in the screenshots. I've tried installing to the HDD and it always give the same errors. I'm not real versed in Linux and maybe that is my issue.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Forgot the screenshot.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
You are making an incomplete entry, as I said previously.

https://github.com/sebanc/brunch

Look at the "Dual Boot ChromeOS from your HDD" section.

You should also be checking out the support links that are linked to on the YouTube post. ?
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Thanks, I've followed those already. The incomplete entry is the exact same way it is done in the YouTube video. I'll work it out. Thanks though.
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
I keep getting an error stating that the gpt partition is messed up. Wether writing to a .IMG file or a USB device.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Mine errors and says path to Cheomeos can't be found. Strange since it's in the file I'm running in a terminal. It's quite screwy, Fyde OS is looking like the greener grass from over here. :laugh:
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
When I create the Chrome OS image in cmd line it doesn't give me a recovery image and I cannot trace the path to a location. It stores as individual files. How do I load that as an installable image on a USB? Thanks.
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
I've had great luck with Project Croissant and maknig bootable usb drives, I just haven't found any recoveries other than lulu 80 that are stable enough to use, however, it lacks the linux container. I'm currently running Eve76, with the linux container upgraded to Buster, with backports and flatpaks. That's working really well for me... but, its not 80 :laugh:

I'm determined to figure this out though, because I'm home and bored out of my skull.

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

I found my image file in the scripts folder.

Edit: I got it! Went with mint on USB method. Works amazingly!!!
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Thanks for the info. I'll check there. I used the Linux mint method and created the folder and the IMG file but I could ever get it to install to disk. I tried various methods from the brunch page and no luck. Thanks though.
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
Here's what i did to get Brunch to work for me.

I used R80 k4.19 testing v3 from this page: https://sites.google.com/view/brunch-project/downloads

and the Rammus 80 recovery.

Using two USB thumbdrives, I booted Linux Mint from one, running apt to install pv and cgpt.

On usb drive 2 I had my unpacked brunch and the chromeos recovery.

I then followed the instructions for installing it to /dev/sdX to install it directly to my harddrive, found here: https://sites.google.com/view/brunch-project/wiki/how-to-install-chrome-os-on-your-laptop

I shutdown the computer, rebooted and let it do its thing. 10 Minutes later, I'm running ChromeOS 80. This seems rock solid so far. Playstore started no problem, updated and installed the various apps that I had been running on Eve 76. Linux installed and I updated Buster, added backports. Installed flatpak and am so far very happy.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
That's cool. I had Fyde working pretty well, but battery life was awful and there were some glitches and flickering. I tried using Ubuntu in Windows to create a Cheomeos img but it tells me recovery image can't be found and all I have is a folder of files. Gonna go back to Fyde while I try to figure it out. Thanks for the input it's much appreciated.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:

I hope this is helpful to someone. :)

[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
All that for me?:laugh: Well I am going to give this a shot and report back. Many apologies for my seeming ineptitude.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
Haha... I had been meaning to do this since I started this thread... Just had been too busy. :laugh:
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Do you edit the recovery name or copy as is? Just double checking. Thanks for the help by the way.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
Just as-is should be ok, as long as you don't have another recovery in the same directory. I just used the wildcard (*) so I don't have to edit the entry when the recovery version changes.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
When I run bash script to install chrome is it it tells me there is no such file. Idk why, any idea?
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
I think you may not be in the right directory. Can you make sure you are in the Brunch directory first? Otherwise you will need the complete path to the recovery as well.

I put the extracted recovery in the same directory as the script, cd into that directory, then run the install commands.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
That didn't work either. I'm overcome with ineptitude or inferior equipment. Think it's best I just let sleeping dogs lie... Thanks for all you patience and assistance.

[Chromebooks] keweminer:
Are you by chance using the git download that unpacks a ton of directories? I was not able to get that to work. I switched to using the ones that unpacks three or so .IMG files, and that's how I was finally able to get it to work for me.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
That is awesome that you were able to get it to work!

The download is under Releases -> [release item] -> Assets -> [file ending in .tar.gz]. Did you download there source code instead?
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
I must have downloaded the source code, not really knowing what I was doing. Then I stumbled upon the .tar.gz files. That changed everything for me.

I am very pleased with how stable everything is.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
I am using these files I extracted, but it tells me that the chromeos-install.sh doesn't exist when I try to create the image.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Sorry, forgot the screenshot
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
Are you issuing the following: suso bash chromeos-install.sh -src YOUR RECOVERY -dst YOUR TARGET?

I have often forgotten to include

bash

in my string. (Silly question I know, but sometimes you gotta ask them).

Edit: Ah! Are you in the same directory that contains the ChromeOS install script? Also, I can't tell from the image, do you have a destination set? I.e. -dst chromeos-80.img or something along those lines?
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
I've checked and rechecked all aspects, and I appreciate the questions, because there are no silly questions, except the ones not asked. I've tried creating the image in Linux, through Windows (via Ubuntu) and making a directory inside Linux USB. It doesn't seem to work no matter how I try it. I'll keep chipping away though. Maybe I will hit the jackpot.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
Could you please provide a screenshot where we can see all the files in the directory you are in (entry "ls"), your entry, and the response? Thanks.
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
Using the USB method, try keeping the recovery and such on a second thumb drive, that was they only way I was able to get it to work.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
And I am just installing from Linux Mint installed on my hard drive. That may be the difference.
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
I wouldn't think it should matter. But, I couldn't creat a functional IMG file either, I had to use the script to install it directly to a hard drive. That worked flawlessly. But, I happened to have an extra drive laying around. I'm not brave enough yet, to install it to an hdd with a functional os, for dual booting.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
Here are a couple. Hope it helps. I can extract Brunch, but when I try to create the image something isn't right.
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
Yes - you are missing the filename in your path to the recovery image! It looks like you are just pointing to the directory.

sudo bash chromeos-install.sh -src /c/Users/Thele/Downloads/Brunch/chromeos*.bin -dst chromeos.img

Note: I used wildcard* in the name so you don't have to type it all out. I also changed the chromeos.img name.... I hope that works!
[Chromebooks] keweminer:
I can not access sdcards, or external drives. This is true for my fydeos, and project croissant installs as well.

Are Brunch installs Developer Mode?

Edit: Updated to r81 testing, my sdcard reader now works. And another amazing thing about Brunch is that you can turn of updates. Now on the Beta channel. (I tried dev for a bit, but too many things were buggy, but I really like what coming down the pipeline for Linux, a tabbed terminal.)
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
This is not correct? I don't understand why it says no such file or directory...
[Chromebooks] jhedfors:
Unless you are in the directory where the files exist, you will need the path to those files as well. I cannot tell from your picture.
[Chromebooks] Shawnashley:
For some reason I can't open terminal in the directory. But even when I put in the path it says the file doesn't exist. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks for the input, I'll dig back in.

For those not using android apps, are linux file managers and FTP programs the only way to transfer files? I know Files handles SFTP, but I need FTP. Are there any Chrome extensions that provide that functionality?
[Chromebooks] ralphwiggum1:
Go to chrome://flags and search FTP to enable FTP URL support within the browser. You should be able to access ftp:// addresses from the browser.
[Chromebooks] Pumpino:
Yeah, but I need to upload to, and download files from, my NAS.
[Chromebooks] ralphwiggum1:
Consider turning off FTP on your NAS and turning on SSH. This should enable SFTP file transfers, as well.
[Chromebooks] Pumpino:
I have SSH enabled (and I use it regularly), but when I try to connect via SFTP, it says "Error: Connection failed" in Caja (file manager in linux). The same SFTP syntax works to my VPS, so it must be an issue with OpenWrt that's running on my Linksys WRT1200AC as my NAS. Anyway, I guess it's off-topic.

Working for Lenovo Thinkpad x230 (Ivy Bridge)

Many thanks to the Croissant and Brunch developers! I tried for two full days getting ChromeOS with Android apps to work on a Lenovo Thinkpad x230 notebook and now saw success using

- brunch_r81_k4.19_stable_20200510

- ATB Camd64OS_R80-12739.B-Special

- chromeos_12739.111.0_samus_recovery_stable-channel_mp-v3 80.bin

I used Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to write ChromeOS to a USB flash drive with the Brunch installer. After booting the Thinkpad x230 from that USB flash drive I installed ChromeOS on the internal SSD as the only operating system.

The only hurdle was setting the boot option to "UEFI only" in the notebook BIOS. I have not tried "UEFI first" and also not tried if "CSM" can be left activated. Trying to boot from USB with the settings "Legacy only" or "Legacy first" resulted in a "Missing OS" error message.

Installation of Android apps via Play Store works. The small number of Android apps I installed so far work OK, no crashes. There are some issues with using mouse or touchpad to scroll inside Android apps. I will report new findings over the next days.

My notebook has an Intel Core i5-3320M (Ivy Bridge microarchitecture).

Combinations I tried using the croissant.sh script:

- ATB releases 69, 76, 80 (vanilla and special of each)

- Corresponding recoveries for stout, parrot, eve, pyro, clapper, falco, sentry, wolf

- TPM from caroline recoveries and swtpm

The only working combination was ATB R76 Special + falco recovery for R76 (12239.92.0) + swtpm from Project Croissant v2.1 (Ristretto). All other combinations resulted in no boot or boot to login and after login subsequent either flashing screen or infinite spinning circle for "please wait".

Installation of Android apps was not possible in the working combination. I then found out about Project Brunch.

I am trying to dual boot Chrome OS and Mint on an Old Dell XPS M1330. It was running cloundready for about 2 years and now it's time to move into a full Chrome OS.

I have done the procedure several time with Rammuns and Samus and I'm getting stuck on boot.

error: no such partition
error: you need to load the kernel first

From what I could find, the issue is caused by UEFI mode and my laptop is so old that I cannot find that option in the BIOS. If that is correct, is there any workaround?

[Chromebooks] Pumpino:
I updated to v83 last night. You don't need to switch channels.

If you're not dual booting, run

sudo edit-grub-config

After cros_debug, add options=enable_updates to enable native updates

Download r83 from https://github.com/sebanc/brunch/releases.

Open a terminal in Chrome using Ctrl-Alt-Tab and type shell.

sudo chromeos-update -f brunch_r83_k4.19_testing_20200528.tar.gz

Reboot and then manually check for updates within Chrome. It should download r83.
