RE: Installation questions
@messayisto What is misleading is that the installer says the phone must be running Android 11 but the choices seams to be for Android 9.

Installation questions
Hi,
I have a brand new FP4 on which I want to install Ubuntu Touch.
-
Is the 0.9.8 installer (Windows 10) the best to use ? When running it it says this is a prerelease version and using the latest stable version is recommended.
-
When running 0.9.7, the installer says the phone must be running Android 11. However, when going further in the installation process, one can choose between
16.04/arm64/android9/rc
and16.04/arm64/android9/devel
. This is misleading. Is it safe to install these versions on the phone (running Android 11) ?

RE: Which phone ?
@mrt10001 I want a UT phone. I currently use a Pinephone but it is hardly usable as a daily driver. And I don't see a brilliant future for this phone. I more and more believe the hardware is badly designed. Maybe I'm wrong. If this device becomes usable, I'll have a spare phone in my drawer. But for now, I need a device which just works.
I like the Fairphone philosophy . Yes it is an expensive phone considering its technical characteristics. But it is repairable and (supposedly) fabricated with another spirit (compared to other manufacturers). I'm sensible to these arguments.

RE: Which phone ?
@domubpkm Is saving 50€ extraordinary ? Probably not. But it is still 50€.
Many French online shops sell the FP4 at 529€/599€ depending on the configuration. -
RE: Which phone ?
@keneda I might take advantage of Black Friday prices to buy a Fairphone 4 and install UT on it myself.

RE: Which phone ?
@lakotaubp That's interesting but I think I'll make my choice before this happens
Anyway, thanks for letting me know. -
RE: Which phone ?
Thanks all for your answers.
Of course there's no ideal phone.I thought about the Volla 22 since it seems there is hard work from the vendor to make UT has good as possible on this device.
I admit I'd prefer a Fairphone 4 since it is more "future proof" (because of the repairability). But it is much more expensive and I don't know if UT is/will be well supported on it.
