    @tacofeast Yes, welcome! It takes some considerable work to get Ubuntu Touch working on a given phone. There are no ports of Samsung phones at present, and porting is done by community members like yourself. So to see UT running on those phones, you'd need to do the work, or find others interested in sharing that work. There's documentation on porting on the UBports website. Alternately, there'd a list of already supported devices, and perhaps you could find one available used to test out the OS.

    @PringleMingle Have you put it onto the required version of Android before installing UT? Was the device fully charged before starting the process? Noble (24.04.1.x)does not work on this device so use Focal (20.04) instead. Someone is working on this to get the upgrade to Noble. From experience a crashdump is usually a weak/dying battery or battery requiring a charge.

    @undrwater the thing is Ubuntu Touch is a left, top OS. It would ideal is developers follow the Human Interface Guidelines and stop pushing bottom controls into apps. And again, there is no «global back» concept because we have the app spread to switch from app to app. And the launcher to launch apps. Of course there's an in-app back, end it is on the top left corner.

    This will not be possible as a confined app. You will need a background service that listen to incoming sms and forward it. I'm not sure if such app can be allowed in the openstore, but here is a few things to know. First create your background service, it could be in standard python if you are familiar with. Ofono is the service that emit notifications when new incoming sms, it uses dbus. api can be found here: https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/blob/master/doc/messagemanager-api.txt (old repository but sending and receiving sms still like that ) AI can help you with a minimal script. then when your service seems to work, you have to create all the plumbery to install/remove/run it, you can find an example with battery-saver app: https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf/battery-saver/

    Hello, if you can't resolve initrd or other errors, I recommend porting with Xenial 16.04 instead of Focal 20.04. Xenial 16.04 generally uses 4.x kernels, and most Samsung devices in Ubuntu Touch ports are ported on Xenial 16.04 (except for the Samsung S7, which supports 20.04). This might also resolve initrd and other errors.
