[QUOTE="Coja Petrus Uscan, post: 1403323, member: 12967"] I'm going to post an install guide for ClaxyOS on Linux as the official guide was probably the worst guide I have ever followed. [USER=6466]@redbeard[/USER] - I assume you have a mobile setup. What do you use (or recommend using) to install normal Android apps? I see ClayxOS has Aurora, which seems to have the normal offering of apps. And would you have any reservations install apps from there? [B][SIZE=7]ClaxyOS Installation Guide for Linux[/SIZE][/B] 1) Download the build for your phone from [URL='https://calyxos.org/get']here[/URL]. Extract it. N.B. that only Pixels and some Chinese phone are supported. 2) Download [URL='https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools']Google Platform Tools[/URL], which allows you to install other OSs on your phone. 3) Extract Google Platform Tools to a directory, let's say [B]home/gework/.adb[/B] 4) Open the file [B]~/.bashrc[/B] and and add the location of Google Platform Tools on a new line at the end: [CODE]export PATH=${PATH}:/home/gework/.adb[/CODE] Change the path to wherever you have Google Platform Tools. Save and close. 5) Run the command [B]source ~/.bashrc[/B] to reload the bashrc file. 6) Run the command [B]fastboot --version[/B] ; if you get a response like [B]fastboot version 30.0.4-6686687[/B] then you are setup. 7) Give you Linux user permission to use Google Platform Tools by running the command [B]sudo usermod -aG plugdev gework[/B]. Change gework to whatever your username is. 8) Run the command [B]sudo apt-get install android-sdk-platform-tools-common[/B] to install some tools that may be needed. 9) Run the command fastboot devices with your phone plugged in; if you get a response then your phone is recognised. 10) On your phone go to Settings -> System -> About; tap on the [B]Build number[/B] box (at the bottom) until a message pops up saying you are in developer mode. 11) On your phone go to Settings -> System -> Developer options and enable OEM unlocking. 12) Turn your phone off, while connected to your PC via USB. Hold the volume down and power button down together for about 5-7 seconds. N.B. That this facility is a bit problematic, as it has a tendency to go straight through to normal boot. 13) On the phone you should see a screen with a Android on it's back and a plate open on it's stomach. This is the bootloader. On your PC run the commands [B]fastboot flashing unlock[/B] and [B]fastboot flashing unlock_critical[/B]. When you run those you need to use the volume and power (select) button on your phone to give permission for those commands to be run. 14) Go to the directory where you downloaded ClyxOS to and run the command [B]./flash-all.sh[/B]. N.B. this should produce about 40 lines of install blurbs. If any of them end with FAILED then you have an error. 15) Allow the phone to boot by using the phone volume buttons to navigate to [B]START[/B] and use power to select. 16) Follow the setup guide for the phone and then turn it off. 17) Re-enter the bootloader by holding to volume and power. 18) On your computer run the commands [B]fastboot flashing lock_critical[/B] and [B]fastboot flashing lock[/B]. That will have you setup. I will post back with experience later. [B]Notes on the phone.[/B] I bought the Google Pixel 2 XL because I thought it was a standard size, but it's bigger than usual. The Google Pixel 2 is 5 inch, which I am under the impression is small. If buying again I'd go for the smaller model. As of writing the Pixel 2 can be bought for $170+ and the Pixel 2 XL for $230+.
