Trying to understand the test harness thing.

I have been running my portal mini with immortal and ha bridge but still have all the facebook things in the back that I dont use. so im trying to understand the test harness a bit better and document it for my internal home manual.

I get the point is to remove as much as possible legacy facebook stuff with this command (need for a FB account, get adb to be auto enabled upon reset, get immortal as the main launcher)

I just got one usability question

Will the stock portal settings still be accesible via the immortal short cut? or that will also be lost?

is the bellow procedure correct or I'm missing something.

Prerequisites:

  • Portal has completed the standard Facebook/WhatsApp setup wizard once (this is required to reach Settings and enable ADB at all)
  • ADB enabled: Settings, Debug, ADB Enabled
  • Immortal launcher already installed and set as the default launcher

Steps:

  1. Confirm ADB connectivity from your PC:

​

adb devices

Confirm the device shows as device, not unauthorized or missing.

  1. Confirm Immortal is installed and currently set as the default launcher before continuing. Do not proceed until this is verified.
  2. Run the testharness command:

​

adb shell cmd testharness enable

This triggers a reset. Expect the device to reboot.

  1. Once it reboots, immediately check ADB is still connected:

​

adb devices

Note what the device actually boots to at this point (stock launcher attempt, Immortal, blank screen, etc.) and report that back, since this is one of the main things needing confirmation.

  1. If ADB is still alive, disable these two packages:

​

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.facebook.alohaapps.devicesetup
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.facebook.aloha.alohaotasetup
  1. Optionally, also disable the stock launcher package, though without an account it likely can't take over the launcher role regardless:

​

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.facebook.alohaapps.launcher
  1. Continue with normal setup: install/reinstall portal-ha-bridge, grant permissions, configure as usual.

Thanks if advance!

Any way to launch portal-ha-bridge on boot? running on immortal launcher

Hey all, Im not sure if IM doing something wrong. but this is my setup

Portal Mini running immortal launcher + portal HA bridge (immortal installed 1st, then portal HA bridge)

I want portal HA bridge to open upon device restart (so in case a power outage the app is already opened automaticaly once the device recovers power)

I set it to start on boot on immortal settings, but after reboot I just get a splash from HA bridge and it goes back to immortal launcher, the app itself is still running but in the background.

running the latest releases for both immortal and HA bridge
any ideas that could resolve this ?
