| Xe (xe/they) joined the room. | 17:30:09 |
Xe (xe/they) | Thank you for making robotnix a thing. I just signed up as a GitHub sponsor and I'm looking at having my next phone be something that runs robotnix. Do you have any documentation out there on how to re-lock your bootloader with a custom key? | 17:31:24 |
danielrf | Xe (xe/they): Thank you very much for the sponsorship! Sure, items (4) and (6) here https://docs.robotnix.org/installation.html will add your custom key and re-lock the bootloader | 17:46:38 |
samueldr | Xe (xe/they): https://docs.robotnix.org/installation.html?highlight=relock | 17:46:38 |
Xe (xe/they) | oh | 17:46:49 |
Xe (xe/they) | lol i am blind | 17:46:52 |
Xe (xe/they) | sorry! ^^ | 17:47:00 |
samueldr | nah, you didn't already know where to look for | 17:47:04 |
samueldr | note that this is EXTREMELY dependent on the phone's implementation | 17:47:18 |
danielrf | Relocking the bootloader with custom keys is currently only supported in robotnix with Pixel phones and the vanilla or GrapheneOS flavors | 17:47:35 |
Xe (xe/they) | yeah, i am looking at either a pixel 4a or a 5a for this | 17:47:39 |
danielrf | that should work great then! | 17:47:48 |
Xe (xe/they) | how do you install google play as part of the rom? | 17:48:21 |
samueldr | some notes about relocking and OEMs that was linked here previously https://hub.libranet.de/wiki/and-priv-sec/wiki/verified-boot | 17:48:51 |
samueldr | danielrf: I assume you assume 5a will work since 5 and all previous work | 17:49:14 |
samueldr | I wonder if the pixel 6 with their "tensor" soc will work exactly the same or if there will be different behaviour | 17:49:32 |
danielrf | Xe (xe/they): We don't have opengapps or anything like that currently, so the best bet is probably via https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services | 17:49:38 |
samueldr | AFAIUI their ABL implementation is qualcomm's | 17:49:53 |
danielrf | or via microg if that works for you | 17:50:03 |
samueldr | or intrinsically linked to qualcomm's | 17:50:06 |
samueldr | I assume pixel 6 will still allow enrolling custom keys, but I wonder how it will differ, if it will differ | 17:50:32 |
danielrf | I shouldn't have said Pixel 5a. There's some work that would still need to happen in an upstream project before we can support that device (https://github.com/aospalliance/android-prepare-vendor) | 17:51:54 |
Xe (xe/they) | oh heck the 5a isn't going to be launched in canada regardless lol | 17:52:20 |
samueldr | 5a is a likely candidate for this all to work though | 17:52:22 |
danielrf | Yes, I would expect it would be working within a few months at most | 17:52:34 |
Xe (xe/they) | i may go to a 4a then | 17:52:35 |
cde | In reply to @danielrf:matrix.org I shouldn't have said Pixel 5a. There's some work that would still need to happen in an upstream project before we can support that device (https://github.com/aospalliance/android-prepare-vendor) I'm betting we can just cp redfin | 17:52:36 |
cde | or bramble | 17:52:58 |
danielrf | Lets hope! | 17:53:04 |
