mobile-nixos VS robotnix

For now, only information about Ubuntu Touch support is available on our website. We plan to extend that to PostmarketOS and NixOS. But which devices does Ubuntu Touch support? For example those:

NixOS/mobile-nixos

Any nixos users here? Anyone have any luck running mobile nixos?

samueldr has been doing a lot of work in that direction. See https://mobile.nixos.org/

With the code from https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos/pull/445, build the demo example with nix-build --argstr device pine64-pinephonepro -A outputs.temp-tow-boot-install-script examples/demo/; of course instead of example/demo you can have your own configuration, but I started with demo

https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos/pull/361

Though you might want to ask around for your particular use case. While basic support (it boots) is right around the corner, it's probably not yet at a point where it'll be nice to use.

As for what I did with those zip files? I made the equivalent for another Linux on Android devices distro. The implementation probably won't suit your tastes, but it's something else to look at to figure out what can be done.

Just noting, using Nix it is possible to build an actual real deal Android image using Robotnix:

This is different from a non-Android Linux on Mobile devices, which is what Mobile NixOS aims to achieve :).

If you still want to do your own builds, I'd recommend looking at Robotnix (https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix). While it doesn't out of the box build on AWS like this, it's a way more sane build process and it would be easy enough to execute a build on any cloud provider.

There are some tools already which support automated builds such as https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack and https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix - however they'll need work to support both CalyxOS and also Android Auto.
