Ok, looking for ideas here. I have a Redmi Note 7 as a tinkertoy. It currently runs PixelExperience ROM. But i wanted to install #UbuntuTouch again (Had it on there before). The device should be supported by the installer: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/lavender/
But it keeps getting stuck on "Cleaning up, Formatting system Partition". The Phone shows FASTBOOT screen. I let it run overnight, nothing changed. Is there a manual way to install UT on this phone with a premade ZIP? I tried adb/fastboot installing droidian which worked.. but now doesnt. I dont feel confident to manually build the image, but does someone has any tips?
Our friends at @volla are making a donation of 10€ to the UBports Foundation for every device sold in order to support our work!!! 😍❤️😘
Go get a #Volla22 with #UbuntuTouch pre-installed, and support us!
There can be some glitches:
(1) pairing may require turning on + off in settings, then you need to click back and select smatwatch again.
Yesterday it took me about 10 minutes to connect.
(2) I have noticed some reconnect issues which needed systemctl restart --user harbour-amazfish from terminal
Recently, while on holidays, I exposed my beloved #banglejs2 to sea water, and while I managed to get it working again, the units of battery life are now days instead of weeks.
I have my old #PebbleTimeSteel around, which still works. But: You need an app to set the time. Thus, I embarked on a mission to bring #RockWork to #UbuntuTouch 20.04, found an attempt by someone else and did some more renaming ... it builds and launches, but rockworkd does not get started yet
Think that having only 2 phone OS options is a very unhealthy situation?
Ever thought of switching to an open OS, getting away from data guzzling Google/Apple, now's a perfect time to try out Ubuntu Touch.
Running on top of the fully maintained UbuntuOS, Lomiri UI activily being improved all the time.
Today's devel-branch update from @fredldotme boosting app-startup time significantly.
The Pixel3a is one of the best supported phones atm. Get it second hand and try it! #privacy#UbuntuTouch
wow the #Volla tablet looks amazing if you're looking for a #Linux (#VollaOS or #UbuntuTouch) powered tablet, but oh my, the marketing video is so cringe! Corporate people randomly smiling at the camera? People using the tablet, all by themselves, in the front seat of their car? "It's not a product, it's a statement"? Dude, you don't have to pretend you're Apple, chill out 😆
Bon bah... j'ai un #Nexus5 que j'ai réussi à ressusciter en installant #UbuntuTouch dessus... bon ça peut pas faire beaucoup plus qu'un dumb phone mais hey, c'est toujours ça. J'ai pas l'impression qu'on soit encore au stade d'un truc qui permet une expérience unifiée mobile/desktop où je pourrais passer de mon téléphone à une station (écran / périphériques) pour poursuivre un travail de bureau le tout sur un seul appareil... ça aurait été la classe
My heart is bleeding. After 9 years using Ubuntu Touch on my main phone, I'll switch to a degoogled Android version. Too much services I regulary use implemented an app only policy or at least an only all features available if using the app policy, which kind of sucks. I ended up having two phones, but that sucks also. So in the end, I gave up.
However, thank you ubports for your ongoing efforts and hard work. I'll continue to support you financially and hope to come back to UT.
My #Fairphone3 arrives on Wednesday. Looking forward to running #UbuntuTouch on it as a test case for viability of ethical phone for kids that helps dodge the worst of mobile apps, behaviours, tracking etc
