I am not aware that nabu has such partition or image.

maan, I dont mean to harp or bother you but why dont you open-source it right now? There are SO many talented coders here and around the world, and I aspire to at least become..somewhat competent. It could speed up fixing whatever youre struggling with in the code. Someone, who knows maybe a Xiaomi-dev would make some suggestions on how to fix things, and that'll be that.

I hope you take my post in the right way, Im fully supporting you but releasing alpha-software is in the spirit of the open-source world. It has to start somewhere right? I know as a perfectionist myself Im never satisified with whatever I do, something I struggle with everyday,, but maybe thats just me.

Anyhow, I really do believe if you open-source this project it would be at least have the potential to faster become what you imagine the perfect Linux-distro running on this amazing tablet.

Cheers

Hi, you are perfectly right, i already mentioned that i am in the process publishing my additions, right now i am cleaning my code prior releasing the first public version, but is not just about my code, preparing for release is more than publishing my modifications/additions, it will be required to create a few howto pages, to update the wiki, to create multiple repos and packages for the ones that will not want to build the PMOS and just install and play. Unfortunately i am stuck in the cleaning process as i am very busy with other stuff right now, not related to devices. On top of this i found that the battery percentage does not update, record the battery status during the boot then this is all that show, i didn't had time to find why, however i added a bit of code that log in the dmesg the battery percentage to be able to see the battery level without reboot from a terminal....

Aah! I see.

Thats very responsible of you. I'm used to devs putting their source code up on github/gitlab or whatever with ZERO documentation.. good that youre one of the few who does the boring work(I assume) of writing good documentation.

Sounds great man!Keep it on . If I can help in any way Im available.

It sounds like you're really responsible so to minimize newbies mistakes that will just softbrick their tablets. Altho I think thats fixable with the right tools and technical knowhow.

Is it the writing the instructions that's time-consuming for you?
I know I dont know exactly how your code works but I could check for spelling errors maybe? I used to be pretty good in school both in swedish and english, especially English. The era of smartphones and autocorrect has degraded it a bit when I write online.

Ppl usually complain about my WOTs lol but I just have a need to be thorough. To not miss a thing u know.

Well, regardless, do as you feel is best for You .

cheers

edit: I'm much better writing when I dont have Internet-standards in my back head, my grammar online ain't much to brag about haha.

I think his work is great.
There is no rush to try it.
If you need help writing guides, trying it out or whatever, you can contact me.
I'm not a programmer, but I can help where I can.

yup I agree, Im not a coder yet, unless BASH and tearin my hair off because of Make-errors counts.

Im also volunteering if I could support u somehow(sadly not financially, struggling myself tbh) in this project. I think we all would love a real bootable Alpine-based distro on our Pad 5s .
