u/Gullible_Service_365

A few days ago I started porting Arch Linux to my old phone. Before it could only be accessed via ssh or adb, now I managed to use /dev/fb0 to write to the screen.

Touchscreen does not work on X11(for now), so I had to use a USB dongle

DE: xfce4 aarch64

Window manager: X11

Video driver: fbdev

This is not running on top of android, this is fully native

this took nearly 2 days just to get it working, mainly because of the proprietary WiFi driver

instead of systemd this install uses a custom script to mount partitions, kills TWRP and starts sshd and the wlan0 interface

currently the screen does not work because of proprietary mali drivers, so adb or ssh are required
