@Flohack My question was more about the lack of consistency of the selling process:
PinePhone was first displayed in stock and in the next step the message appeared
suggesting the opposite and inviting to try again at a later date.
Could perhaps be improved.
@3T_Ed That recovery is correct as far as I know it's the same as my OP3. Try restarting everything again after using Android actions to clear the cache. Then if that fails try without the Bootstrap option ticked. If that fails I would post in the main OP3/3T thread mentioned in this thread, I am no expert at all and may well be missing something obvious. Sorry I can't help further.

Looks like this is actually happening and coming to Linux Kernel 5.9 / 5.10
Sadly unlikely that it could be backported to ancient 3.x kernels though.
@CiberSheep I would guess all of these things - with the possible exception of the "balls and gradients" - are mostly due to this being a relatively quick mock-up. The final page probably shouldn't describe Ubuntu Touch as a "A Powerfual alternative" either! ;)
I think the way of thinking about Ubuntu Touch as a brand rather than a project makes all the sense in the world for the front page, at least if the goal is to convert people into using it. But "busy" elements should maybe try to mirror elements of the operative system itself, for example by dynamic animations illustrating the swiping gestures? It'd say animations are great as long as they direct (positive) attention towards elements of the OS itself rather than away from it.
Also, I'm not generally a software mascot kind of guy, but that 3D render looks great.

@AppLee It does not affect system language though, so the text there should be whatever system language you have set.
@josevidal It is a defect and should be reported as such.
To be fair, Lomiri is not usable even on bionic. No, I would say focal is not supported yet.
It's really only remotely usable in the x86 Ubuntu Touch image. Normal deb installs even on 16.04 have issues, and Lomiri and its components don't work fully properly on systemd yet either, so newer versions only have more problems.

I honestly think the point is being missed here especially with the support issue. This is not UBports selling new devices devices in a commercial way and not offering support for them. They are not being flashed by UBports and then sold without support.
It is meant to just enable an individual to point out they have a device for sale somewhere subject to the normal terms and conditions of that market site and that is it. End of story. As I said before if you are buying from one of these sites it is up to the buyer to do their research and ask questions of the seller.
The Ubports sites will have full details of the devices affected by any change or dropping of support no doubt clearly displayed on it as we do with all other major changes to the OS. We will not be hiding the fact that support is being changed or unfortunately dropped for some older devices if they cannot cope with future OS development.
I stand to be corrected but I think this will only affect some of the original UT devices which will be well past the normal support cut off offered by android etc.

With some help from the RPi Telegram group (https://t.me/UBports_pi) between clicks and keyboard tab and enter I was able to get the "Next" button to be activated and am now past this timezone dialog.
There were also issues with the touchscreen edge swipes not beind detected that I posted to the "Support" category as they may be broader than the RPi.
I just managed to install lollipop thanks to the advice of kyrylo who sent me on a tutorial very well explained: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
Merci à tous !
