H3Droid - Android image developed specifically to work on Allwinner H3 devices

1.2.5 is already working fast, but 1.2.6 is even faster at first boot

Hi,

I wish to test H3droid but how do you build the image ?
I changed path to image file in conf, then run script but it complains about file: can't get size of /home/root/h3droid.img

Nice, I have tested the image creation and it's ok.

Here is some generated images for H3Droid (vers ...

why was this removed?

@vapenae Please read my last reply it explains exactly why it was removed and what you should do if you ABSOLUTELY NEED an image.

Cheers!

@zorglub

did you uncomment whole file.img example section? do you have all required tools? do you have enough rights to write? is loop module/device available? also, pastebin of the config and output/error would be helpfull

yep, I've got it, done my own image based on 1.2.5, seams to run smoothly
Let's see if I definitively switch to this rom in few days

Hi @TheLinuxBug,

Very appreciate on your work, that's a great idea to make it as an installer instead of a raw image.

Just wondering, is there any reason to keep the partitions structure intact?

I mean, seems there are too many unknown purpose partitions while we actually needed only some of them:
/boot, /cache, /system, /data, and /userdata partitions (+ may be /recovery partition),
can we change the structures by also manage initial boot and mounting scripts at boot.cmd and ramdisk?

Just curious, whether we can adopt the partition structures on AndroidX86,
it use only a single partition with mount-bind command on /cache, /system, and /data inside its ramdisk scripts,
with this single partition, we can easily put some linux distributios on a one storage device,
imagining multiboot Android+Ubuntu/Debian/RetrOPie+Open/LibreElec in one microsd card,

Btw, I've done my own multi-boot Ubuntu/Debian/RetrOPie and Open/LibreElec by manipulating boot.cmd on Armbian image,
but having trouble with OPi Android partition structure, especially on boot partition,
and based on your work (thx anyway), itu would be easier to me to step forward make Android as one of my multi-boot linux OSes...

at first it was for keeping things simple. and yes, i have an entry in TODO to reduce partition count to 2. also, right now there is a way to boot to partition 6 (which can hold alternative os) when you long-press power button at uboot stage. and since i've dropped whole dragonflasher thingie and used mainline uboot, you can easily multiboot to whatever you like
