    Ubuntu Touch isnt much known to be still alive, i think that it needs more social network visibility, ideally not only those for nerds (masodon) but also having news on platforms where normal people are (fb?)

    Well with this script I seem to be able to apt install at least some packages without modifying the phone system: sudo ./test.sh [sudo] password for phablet: root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt install htop Reading package lists...

    hello from the re-installation of ubuntu touch on my device (3 weeks ago), i see that the app 'agenda' have difficulty to change the date of events. there is no probleme when creating the event, but when i will change, the event always 'jump' to the day befor of after... you have to notice that i use a personnal local agenda. (complicate to add on this application).

    but sharing about overall experience, I'm really happy with FP5. It works flawlessly with my 4k monitor and docking station. I can just plug it and use from mouse/keyboard/monitor. That's just awesome. FP4 was probably working similarly with FHD but I don't have any low resolution screen anymore, so I never tested it (I just can confirm that it couldn't drive 4k resolution). I just hope FP7 will have fully fictional USB-C again (as FP6 allows only charging, no docking capabilities!!!)

    @jeffreyk Hi, it doesn't work like that. If your device is not on the supported list and a search doesn't show any one porting the device then if you have the skills and knowledge you will have to port UT to that device yourself. The alternative is to get a device that is on the supported list.
