We finally have something other than Android!
Let me introduce: Ubuntu Touch for our phone!
Using @prashantp01's Vendor Dumpster V1.1.
This ROM is very much not ready for daily use, and probably never will, but it's still cool!
Ubuntu Touch is the touch/mobile friendly version of the popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu.
Using the steps listed below, you can boot it on your A8/A8+.
Bugs:
Y E S
What works:
Usually boots (unreliable)
Display works!
OpenGL Works!
WiFi usually works (unreliable, if you turn it off, you can't turn it back on)
Rotation works!
Brightness works!
Vibration works! (takes a minute or two to start working)
Installation:
Follow the instructions to install Vendor Dumpster V1.1.
Install the SaR Patch following the instructions.
Flash GlES_Updater.zip provided in downloads using TWRP.
Install the correct Halium boot image for your model. (TWRP -> Install -> Install Image -> Select your boot.img -> Select Boot from the list -> Swipe to flash)
(optional) Format data! (Not just simply wipe!) (This sometimes is required, sometimes isn't. If you can't boot, Try formatting then continuing from here!).
Flash the provided Ubuntu Touch ARM64 Rootfs GSI using TWRP.
Reboot to system
If you can't boot, do a hard reset a few times! (Vol Down + Power for 7 seconds)

Awesome job! This is perfect.

Goodjob friend

I would like to boot it off external sdcard though, since it would be dualbooting just like that Arch Linux ARM in another thread. (searching for a OS to move on, away from Android, Ubuntu Touch is very well suited for this, pmOS too, but Unity8/mir has that look to it...)

It's working, but what the passphrase? I think i didn't set it

What is Ubuntu Touch?
Ubuntu Touch is the touch-friendly mobile version of Ubuntu.
This operating system is developed and maintained by UBports: An international community of passionate volunteers.
This means Ubuntu Touch is 100% community driven and independent.
What is Halium?
Halium is the collaborative project to unify the Hardware Abstraction Layer for projects which run GNU/Linux on mobile devices with pre-installed Android.
How it is a GSI?
First of all, I should mention ubports GSI definition is different from android, but both are generic.
ubports root file system was always generic and works for most cases, but devs were porting halium system image to add device-specific (HALs and configs) support to ubports Android container.
But after project treble which introduced in android 8, all device-specific parts of android system image moved to vendor partition and we can use "Generic system images" over one vendor partition.
In halium version 9, we use this adventure and have a totally generic system image + root file system.
Requirements:
The only Requirement of booting this GSI is having Halium patched kernel.
Keep in mind having android 9 firmware installed on the device as GSI base is mandatory (GSI can be used on android 8.0 and 8.1 vendors but experimental and not supported yet)
How to install?
Step 1 : Install TWRP Recovery
Step 3 : Wipe DATA / Factory Reset
Step 2 : Flash the halium-boot.img to your boot partition
Step 4 : Flash the ubports_GSI_installer_v10.zip via TWRP
Step 5 : Enjoy Ubuntu Toutch
Downloads:
HALIUM BOOT : https://github.com/Freehorn-GNU-Linux/cheryl_releases/releases/
GSI INSTALLER : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/halium/GSI/
Known bugs?
Bugs are very device specific and mostly should blame device kernel.
Possibly Wifi Issues
Report Bugs:
Please report bugs bellow with as much details as you can.
The following commands can be used to provide logs. You can also provide logs from recovery.
Code:
dmesg
cat /var/log/syslog
sudo -s
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib64 lxc-attach -e -n android -- /system/bin/logcat

As soon as I get my other phone fixed I'm installing this. I've been wanting to try a real Linux os on a phone for some time now. Thanks for posting this. Super excited.

Super excited to know if you like it I'm working on Evolution X right now

I'm having trouble getting this to even boot on my device. - flashed boot.img through TWRP and Fastboot, but the device goes into a bootloop (flashed the ubports-gsi-installer through twrp as per instructions too)

Does it need to be plugged in PC every time it reboots?

Good job

Yes it does, you need to use mtkclient to boot the device every time you reboot, you can find out more information about how the temp unlock works on this post

I am on version 7.3.1.0, but the device only shows recovery. I need this OS to fix the device ?
I need OS 7.3.1.0 bin

Is this OS ARM or ARM64?

64 bit (ARM64) kernel but 32 bit (ARM) user-space (as the stock ROM)

Can you build full 64 bit version?

I found issue that screen changes brightness abnormally when watching videos with youtube app.

That's an expected behavior. Every time you want to reboot (or just turn on) the device you need to load the preloader with mtkclient.

Great job!
I tried on my device, but it did not work (as was expected, the cpu is another).
Maybe I could ask you to do this for my device? We have broken TWRP, which actually is doesnt work.
We have twrp devicetree, may it will be easy for you.
We have greate community, which cant do it ourself
Lenovo tab p11 j606f snapdragon 662.
I hope that you just need to change the specs (cpu), i think that mount points the same as on p11 plus.
We will be very grateful!

also i can provide any files what is need

Hi!
I've got a J606L(same as yours but it has SIM), and I've been trying to make a working custom recovery for it. Can you send me your device tree? Is it on github? Mine is missing the drivers for the touch panel. I successfully built an OrangeFox and a new TWRP recovery for the device, but the touchscreen don't work. If your files working, it will work both on J606L and J606F.
Thanks!

Hi!
Actually devicetree isnt mine.
One of us (p11 users) make it, look https://github.com/Ramil2911/twrp_j606f
its has bugs such as mtp isnt work, and it cant mount data (the solve is erasing data via stock recovery or fastboot).
But Touch is working fine (it needs for 10 sec. for unfreez) May be its possible to fix them. I belive that may be orange fox can avoid them during compile.
also, there are a lot of devicetrees on git. https://github.com/Bagger1113/android_device_lenovo_j606f-twrp
https://github.com/stezyin/J606F
Also i have found sourcecode of p11, but its too old (android 10, i think). Its on lenovo's site, if you need, also i can find it again.

Did it possible to flash miui gsi?
As i see on features it has miui capability.
I ask because on j606f any gsi wich much differ from aosp is not booting. Yes, it hasnt castom recovery, may be thats the problem?
And in general, i solve the problem with lack of twrp on j606f via buying j607F

Nice.
