    I have a few days where I don't need my phone 24/7, which means I'm doing more testing. I have just updated the text above.

    Some things work better now but a few is still in need of work.

    I will keep updating the #1 post in this thread and will update all information over on my website with a few workarounds as soon as I'm done.

    I will also add a section to my website on how to configer Libertine Firefox to get a better working webbrowser for now. (Scaling, Touch, UI, ...) At the moment the progress seems good.

    If I should test or log something specific, let me know.

    @Charly Hmm Ok. Could you please get the updater's log, available at /var/log/system-image/client.log? The file is restricted to root only, so use sudo to gain access to it.

    sudo cat /var/log/system-image/client.log >client.log

    @Lga Waw! Awesome!

    I can see that your illustrations are even better than those used by Volla themselves on the Kickstarter site, which are taken from a really old Lomiri UI:

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/volla/volla-phone-quintus

    If I have your permission, I can contact Dr Wurzler, with whom I worked at the time of the launch of the first Volla Phone (I translated the Ubuntu Touch user guide into French) and ask him if he wants to use your artwork instead?

    That is something we need to work on... for example to support larger files or multi camera...

    Just to make explicit what you no doubt implicitly meant: 'we' here means any volunteer in from the community at large.

    @oya-g said in Japanese!!:

    Channel Update → 20.04Development has Japanese. My device is Pixel3a, so it is 4G compatible.

    The "development" channel is maybe not meant for day-to-day use, as it may be buggy and/or unstable. So really looking forward to japanese support arriving in stable.

    Note that even with a 4G compatible phone, you will not be able to do any phone calls inside japan, as the 4G protocol stack does not by itself support telephony. It only supports data.

    For telephony, you need VoLTE support, which is quite a messy affair, as it requires various firmware and software components to cooperate properly for calls to be routed over the 4G data layer (i.e. as VoIP call). UBports does not support that currently.

    @Arnoldko
    About your question:
    UBports is a German foundation. And when I search for "public transport" at open-store.io (app store for Ubuntu Touch (UT)) I see four German, two Spanish, one Norwegian, one American, one Hungarian and one Swiss app(s). So you have maybe slightly more people who know some things about UT in this countries, but I do not think that this is significant.
    It probably depends more on what you want to do and how you want to structure your company (How closely do HW and SW teams need to work together? Where is the head of your company? Is this a commercial project?...).
    If your hardware team also takes care of firmware and drivers and you are only searching for some people who write some apps for you, you should find people who can do some C++, Qt and server stuff nearly everywhere.
    Specifically for Ubuntu Touch, you could maybe post a job description in this forum and let the people work from home.

    Some time ago some people related to Volla did a fundraiser to bring Android apps to UT. They commissioned some Russian developer and it was very successful. So maybe this could also be an option for you:

    https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/ https://forums.ubports.com/user/stanwood https://www.gofundme.com/f/anbox-on-ut?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet

    About no phone numbers:
    A lot of messengers and other services depend on verification via SMS. This is maybe something you want to consider.

    About using UT as a base:
    Please be aware that Ubuntu Touch has some limitations and depending on what you want to do (how much you want to modify the system), it could maybe be more convenient to start with something else (like Debian). There are currently also some people working on Lomiri (the desktop environment of Ubuntu Touch) for Debian.
    But this very much depends on what you want to do.

    The last step installs the rootfs usually in system partition, see the install section of the porting documention.
    Basically flash the latest xenial image from the CI to system. Alternatively push the image with adb to /data/system.img when booted to recovery.
    Otherwise you could try ubports installer with only the systemimage:install command.
    You can also see the halium-install source code, particularly these lines.

    Be sure to check if this partition exists as partition schemes can vary.

    @jimenezh If the device is not on the installer and no one is porting UT to it, then unless you have the time and skills to port it is a no go.
    Running UT from an SD card I have only seen once and I believe the device was one of the Fairphones or Pinephone. It was difficult to do.
