Pledged to try out Oreo. Was pleasantly surprised how well 7.1.2 runs on my Pocket. One thing I noticed at least on 7.1.2 was the bottom got quite warm and the fan never seemed to kick on. I'm curious if this is due to the Win having a manual fan. There's a new module in Han's kernels called gpd-pocket-fan that handles the hardware. Would be great to at least have that included (If it's not already in the Oreo build that is :) ) <a href="https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/gpd-pocket-fan.c" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/gpd-pocket-fan.c</a>

I'll send you a private message later this weekend with a build I need you to test for me to see if the fan works properly on your Pocket. If it does I'll add the fix into the patch repository, making it a part of all future builds.

Sweet! Also on Oreo after the initial install settled down, the temps aren't bad at all. <a href="https://i.imgur.com/KQSow6s.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/KQSow6s.png</a> You have made me absolutely fall back in love with my Pocket. Regular Linux runs ok for the most part but I feel like Android is a much smoother experience, plus the far superior DPI scaling makes it all worth while.

Quick question: is there a way to temporarily disable the forced screen rotation? If I boot with HDMI plugged in, it's the only monitor but the 90° rotation still takes effect.

blackseraph

Not at the moment, the build is custom tailored towards Win-users, including all the required framework patches to make the screen play nice. If you need a way to undo the rotation, or maybe even set a custom one, I might just add property-based screen rotation to the framework... that way, if you really wanted to, you could control the screen rotation via a set of 5 variables you could manually set.

i just join patreon love it so far android on gpd win nice work just won my gpd win with bitcoin

what timestamp do I use for grub2win?

blackseraph

Depends on your install really. The easiest way to figure it out for Windows users is to just boot into a linux live disk of choice and quickly check the partition to see what the android installation folder is called. Generally speaking though, I'd suggest to avoid grub2win entirely and just boot directly into grub. Should Windows cause issues by overwriting the EFI boot record you can still boot into grub by typing grubx64.efi into the built-in EFI shell (which you can access via the BIOS). For some odd reason, doing this will also restore the EFI boot record... (until Windows decides to wipe it again).

bob

perfect that worked! is there anyway to prevent windows from wiping the record?

blackseraph

Not that I'm aware of I'm afraid. Windows just likes being a douche when it comes to dual-booting.

I tried GPD Pocket. Working Battery, 3D, 2D, Bright, Wifi, Bluetooth, Sound...etc. It was great! But I found bug that cant smooth show 720p60 or higher youtube video.

This isn't too surprising, given the near-similiar hardware. Most fixes that have been done to build this ROM are aimed at CherryTrail processors rather than the GPD Win itself. Sadly, while it is very likely that this ROM will work just fine on the GPD Pocket, I can't personally guarantee it as I don't have one to verify things on.
