[Q] How to build only Gecko/Gaia in Firefox OS ?

I want to build Firefox OS for Smultron but i don't want a FULL OTA Update (boot.img,recovery,system etc.). There are a lot of Firefox OS builds for this device from 1.1 up to 1.3 but they are quite old . The kernel,libs,etc. they are all the same in every version so i want to update only the /B2G folder ,create a CWM update.zip and BAM ! BOOT NEW FIREFOX OS . I tried to copy it from other devices like geeksphone Keon but there are some bugs like battery indicator ,LED allways on....I know the fixes but i can't apply them without compiling gaia .I find out that this file (libxul.so) is responsable for everything basically .Thanks.

Phoenix OS Q&A

Let's get this rolling with a good old fashioned Q&A discussion, shall we? Ask a Question, Answer a Question. Whatever you want.
Thanks to @Vioner we now have a place to do it.
Cheers:laugh:

We partially did it Here's a disclaimer how this "subforum works".
Does Phoenix OS really have a forum on xda?
No, it's an ET - Enhanced Tag
O_G said:
Enhanced Tags (ET) is a tagging system that pulls multiple threads into a single discussion forum. They are used to evalute a device for full forum eligibility and enable easy access to threads for members, as well as add the device to the device search function.
If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me.

It works almost as a forum, because it appears as one in dynamic search bar, but it's really a pseudo-forum. Of course it also gathers up all Phoenix OS tagged threads under this ET or allows for creating threads with the ET.
Unfortunetly you won't be able to visit Phoenix OS ET via Tapatalk
We need more people and content onboard if we want to get a real exclusive forum.

Not really good then...

Better than it was. We now have a Tag. I can promote better with one. It's kind of what I do! I Still can't add it to my device list yet, though.
At any rate, it's better than a swift kick in the ass!

Is this to include arm versions, too?

Right now there is no one from Phoenix team here on XDA. We'll let you know when some officials join us.
@bg260 if your post is the last, then instead of adding a new one, please edit the existing.
And I don't understand your question:

Are you asking about Phoenix OS for ARM devices? As in the ET disclaimer, these should have threads in the specific device forum, not here. Here we can discuss only software side of Phoenix or hardware but for PC.
Phoenix OS ET Description said:
Phoenix OS Discussion
Phoenix OS, much like Remix OS is designed to run on x86/x64 tablets or larger screen devices with features often found only within desktop OS’s. These features include a comprehensive start menu, fully resizable multi-window support and keyboard shortcut functionality. Phoenix OS provides the desktop UI functionality, with the benefit of access to the vast array of games and applications available to the Android operating system. This discussion forum is intended for threads related to the PC version of Phoenix OS, threads and questions related to device builds should be posted within the allocated device forum.

Thank you for the input.

How can I dual boot with Ubuntu? I had Remix dual booting, but am unable to get Phoenix to do so?

It can be achieved with exact same methods as with Remix. Remix, Android-x86 and Phoenix OS boot all the same way. Each may have a different installer, but all can be installed using one same method.

I'm here just to thank @Ventricle for his work.
I'm now happy with latest Remix OS version but I'm considering Phoenix when it upgrades to Marshmallow.

Does Phoenix OS has a dedicated instant communication channel for the users?
Does Phoenix OS has a dedicated instant communication channel for the users?
Yes! We recently created an official Slack team. Read about it here: [ANNOUNCEMENT]Phoenix OS Slack Team - official communication channel for community
Does Phoenix OS come pre-rooted?
Since release 1.1.0 we can easily toggle root ON/OFF in developer settings.
Can I modify the system files?
Since release 1.1.0 we can modify /system partition freely without any additional modifications - all you need to do is enable root in developer settings.

Wifi Tethering
I dont know if this could be done or not... Am wondering though, can/will phoenix os provide wifi tethering and share internet connection from ethernet??

Try my iso. you can unpack with WinRar and change grub.cfg, but you shouldn't have to.
Burn it to a USB with the provided installer.

You can also edit your Grub at time of boot.
It will usually tell you to "edit grub highlight the boot option then tap "TAB" key and I have also seen "E" key
This will drop you into a command like screen where you can edit your grub file for a ONE TIME run of the ISO image of choice.

@Vioner, bg260
does phoenix os is compatible with tincture key mapper because it close every time i open after welcome message in 1 second.

Removed. For safety.

For some reason i'm happy with Phoenix until Remix fix their in game mapping too & play services

Did you try both, the 32 and 64 bit versions? I will try it on my Surface Pro 3 sometime and will let you know my results. Meanwhile, you can post it on their official forum and let them know that G+ isn't working

I tried opening G+ on the v2.0.6 and got the same error as you. Perhaps you can use the browser to browse G+ for now until a solution is available? Also, look into spoofing your deice model into a model of an actual tablet. Maybe that will work if you edit the build.prop file.

If anyone get's "grub minimal bash like line editing issue" when trying to boot
Hi I just tried phoenix OS. yesterday on my unbranded baytrail tablet (ub15ms10) I was stuck with this issue for a while and I finally came up with the fix using the grub prompt! (I used "rufus" to create the boot usb drive)
First, list your drives with ls ls Mine came up with hd0 and some others, but since I was booting from a usb drive, that's all that matters at the moment. hd0 will be the drive that you need so set it as the target and below is basically what you need to type to try it out without installing.
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0
initrd /initrd.img
boot
You should then be able to boot Pheonix OS 2.0.7 32bit. I did not try the 64bit version since there's no point because tablet has less then 4GB of RAM. What works: It makes good use of the tablet's GPU, it didn't lag in anyway for games such as clash royal. Browsing is good, playstore works..The performance is nice, It runs well on a 2GB ram tablet with a 1.3Ghz Intel Atom Z3735F. GPS works, bluetooth works.
What doesn't work: No audio, no brightness control. I didn't bother testing anything else since I lost interest as soon as audio didn't work. I'd probably be able to fix it myself by messing around with the kernel parameters but it's a PITA.

I tried editing the build.prop before with no luck, but I'm not experienced in doing it so I may have missed the fields that I needed.

For the audio and other issues for baytrail/cherrytrail devices, someone made a kernel that apparently fixes these issues in debian/ubuntu which can be found here: https://yadi.sk/d/pW1Fbl-VyVPoR/Linux 4.12/Linux 4.12rc5. If someone else could use these kernels sources to apply a patch for android x86 that would be awesome.

What version of Phoenix OS do you have installed? If you have v2.0.7, you're in the right thread, so go ahead and download either a 32 or 64-bit version of the rooted image and replace it with your current system.img.

This will work on a Nexus 9 or it only works in pc's?

when i update su binary like you say it says to me installation failed
edit: ifound soulition its to update super su to the latest version with play store or aptoide or arc market or app vn and the install the binary data its soooo easyyyyyyy

Waiting for rooted system.img for Phoenix OS 2.1.0

SU Binary busy?
So I followed the instructions (although the step 6 is kind of confusing, English is not my native language so...) booted with the rooted sys image, installed superSU from the Play Store and when I open it it says "SU binary busy" and send me to a FAQ where it says that
"The SU files are already occupied by other software, such as Kingroot."
So I need to install the binary somehow? or something went wrong?
Oh BTW, used Root checker and it says it's not propely installed
Thanks for the image, buddy

I also ran into this problem using the newest version from the play store, I could avoid this though by installing version 2.79 through an apk.
But now it won't let me update the binary, since everytime I select "Normal" the installation fails after a minute or so.
Any ideas?

Guys, when to expect a rooted image for V 2.1.0 x86

thank you, but i bit confused about when i update the os,
so when i update the os, the rooted image will gone ? and i need to wait for another rooted image ?

This looks complicatedate but is very easy. Noob friendly
Step 1: You need to delete All Samsung and Google accounts to avoid FRP, then go to settings>about phone>software updates and update to latest firmware, then settings>about phone>software information and click 7x build number （something like NJH47F）and click back 2x to go back to settings. click on dev Options that Just appeared and go inside and enable USB Debugging first and OEM unlock second. OEM unlock may ask you to factory reset, and take a backup and Just reset! But if it only asks you to reboot but not forcing you to factory reset, then do not reset.

Ok android 7.1.2 has rather old security (max 20200605) so it can be hacked rather easily. You won't be able to use any online payment safely, or to do any processes with important documents safely. You can still use it, but at your own risk.
