<wiiplayer2|m> I don't think I get the panel correctly fixed anytime soon. Should I remove the panel and its driver for now from my PR or keep a usable version?

<JustAunixguy> i have a question
<JustAunixguy> if i flash u boot and install pmos on an sd card will i still be able to boot android?
<wiiplayer2|m> I have pmos on an sd card, uboot on my boot partition and the kernel in the cache partition and if I want to switch I re-flash my boot and dtbo partitions to boot into android
<wiiplayer2|m> If you have A/B slots it might even be easier but idk honestly
<JustAunixguy> i have a magisk plugin that wipes cache every time i reboot and i dont have a/b slots
<JustAunixguy> i think if i disable the magisk plugin and suffer every time trying to boot into android it might work
<JustAunixguy> i just gotta wait till the sd card arrives
<JustAunixguy> is it possible to make it so i can boot both android and pmos from u-boot ?
<wiiplayer2|m> Didn't try it yet really myself but here is the wiki page: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Dual_Booting
<JustAunixguy> it says u-boot provides a mechanism to boot OSes
<JustAunixguy> does that mean it can boot android aswell?
<JustAunixguy> also if i flash the kernel to cache will something in android break? or will there be anything unusual
<f_> JustAunixguy: u-boot will need fiddling in order to boot Android
<JustAunixguy> is it complex? if not how do i do it
<f_> It's not straightforward
<f_> and I don't know of anyone having done that before
<wiiplayer2|m> <JustAunixguy> also if i flash the kernel to cache will something in android break? or will there be anything unusual
<wiiplayer2|m> I do not clear my cache partition when switching back to android and everything seems to work fine (running the newest LineageOS)
<f_> Given that you have magisk already I suppose you can just get pmOS on slot _b and lineage on slot _a and switch between them as needed
<JustAunixguy> does the xiaomi-surya have them? (i have PixelOS unofficial android 15 flashed)
<f_> don't know
<f_> probably
<JustAunixguy> I Dont have slots
<JustAunixguy> so whats the u-boot fiddling option
jojo_autoboy|m has joined #sm7150-mainline
<jojo_autoboy|m> you could probably store the kernel in the cust partition instead since it's basically useless
<JustAunixguy> i mean... what was cust's original purpose?
<jojo_autoboy|m> miui bloatware
<JustAunixguy> going with that option then
<JustAunixguy> i hate miui so much
<JustAunixguy> can someone tell me the instructions to install the generic port onto an sd card
<JustAunixguy> cuz the wiki page is just straight up confusing
<JustAunixguy> there is no info on how to install onto the sd card
<JustAunixguy> i think i figured it ot
<JustAunixguy> out
<uvraj|m> gelbpunkt|m: could you merge my toco PR for u-boot?
<JustAunixguy> i flash a prebuilt image because i have too many problems with pmbootstrap onto an sd card then flash u-boot and it will work?
