Also certain signature checks were disabled
IIRC you were able to run unsigned code on certain levels were even s-off couldn't
but I never went that deep
Not even bare metal?
I had the blobs to run code on the A9 on bare metal but I am not sure if I am even allowed to distribute them...
I really never went that deep / never tried anything out
I just got it because of his employee discount
And flashed cyanogenmod on it
You could in theory change the whole low level of the system?
There are blobs needed to initialize the hardware, also there's something based on LK that boots at first
a fork of this guy
Whats the first thing that happens when booting a Android phone? (The moment when the power button is pressed)
On the A9: LK and blobs initialize the hardware, then, LK loads the Linux kernel
iirc
not entirely sure
The drivers for the hardware are all preloaded with the kernel?
I don't think they are full fledged drivers
I wonder is there is a gentoo variant like thing for Android phones
Do it yourself from scratch kind of thing
Starting from bare metal scratch
You could build AOSP
kek
why is there so much mental health shit in the <#247481427803897866>
Spooky pfp
Because people were talking about ending their lives here and we don't want that @pyril
oh i'm on the wrong server then
:^)
jk
Banndd
😠pls no
I think it could be possible to install gentoo on a smartphone <:thvnk:332928260004642827>
You can run Linux distro on smartphone
It's really difficult to get banned here as long as you don't behave like a complete degenrate @pyril
Only if you somehow find out to make it work with a touchscreen
Or speak dutch
Yes there are a lot of chroot based approached to run a "real" distro on Android
USB OTG mouse tho?
Yes mouse works
