Nexus 4 status?
Hello everyone.
From reading the forum and webpage, I am getting somewhat mixed messages about the usability of UBports on the Nexus 4.
I am currently still running the "Official" Ubuntu system on it which works fine but clearly is unsupported. However since the N4 is my only phone (well there's an old OpenMoko in a drawer somewhere), I am rather hesitant to dive in and re-install without at least a few reports of success. Equally, since I am a very light user I don't feel inclined to pay large sums for a newer phone (and I find Android's barrage of unwanted marketing guff unbearable).The original Ubuntu install was done using the ubuntu-device-flash tools installed on Manjaro Linux, which would be my intended route again (the only Ubuntu machine I have is my work PC which is still on 14.04).
The things that I need to be able to do, aren't that extensive: Install, make & receive calls, receive & send texts and run the stopwatch app. I wouldn't regard other limitations as showstoppers.
Experiences please.

Obsolete devices. On the "promoted devices" page.
I'm not sure if this is the best place to raise this, but there's no obvious place for discussing the main web page.
It seems a good idea to remove devices not supported under 20.04 from the "promoted devices" page. It doesn't look so good when you click on the Nexus 5 only to get a page that says it's not supported by the current versions.

RE: Always boots to fastboot screen
I've had a closer look now.
Though the style is similar to a FastBoot screen, it's actually a warning screen basically saying"You've been naughty and installed a new OS on the phone, don't blame us if anything goes wrong.",
and it times out after a few seconds.

RE: Always boots to fastboot screen
@lakotaubp OK. I'll leave it till I'm not trying to do two things at once since the phone appears usable other than the extra button press in booting.

Always boots to fastboot screen
I've just installed ubports on a OnePlus 5T (seemed like one of the best options to be able to go forward to Fossa for under £100).
After a few glitches, I got the system installed and running, but whenever I reboot it always goes to the FastBoot screen and then I have to press power again to complete the boot. Is there any way to prevent this? I never saw a similar issue with the Nexus 5.

RE: Devices discontinued?
Thanks to everyone for the updates/clarifications.

Devices discontinued?
While there is a nice list of devices that are currently supported under Focal, I have not been able to find any indications of which devices are under development, which are not and which cannot be ported.
Is that information available anywhere?FWIW, I'm currently running a Nexus 5, so that is of particular interest.

RE: Delete unapplied update
@Flohack Indeed, after the recent testing update, the unwanted unstable one has gone.

RE: Delete unapplied update
@Rondarius said in Delete unapplied update:
Open settings/Updates, swipe the unapplied update to the right, hit the trashbin and it is gone.
I think that will only work for app updates, at any rate when I try to swipe it to the right, there is no waste bin.

Delete unapplied update
A little while ago I downgraded my second Nexus 4 from the Development channel to the RC channel.
The process was basically seamless apart from one thing:
There was an OTA update for Ubuntu Touch on the Dev channel that downloaded automatically, but which I did not apply. That update is now just sitting there and (presumably) uninstallable, since it is an update to a version that is not installed.So: is there a way to delete it? The UT Tweak app that allowed other incompatibilities to be resolved doesn't offer any help. I'd be quite happy to dig in with the file manager if I knew where to look.
