    TL;DR: use BTRFS or proxy the ZFS via NFS @RJDan said in zfs on Ubuntu touch: [...] better supported on linux, it seemed to be a clear win for zfs. Well, unfortunately that is not the case, ZFS is not supported without adding kernel modules via DKMS. That is because of licensing issues which prevent it from being built-in the kernel like BTRFS and EXT4. DKMS cannot work on Halium kernels as they are based on patched downstream android kernel. I thought FUSE was an option, but after trying to install it on my device I found out zfs-fuse is deprecated, and I couldn't make it work. So the only way is to build the kernel with patches for the ZFS module, beforehand. This is however very complex and I wouldn't recommend it. There is a workaround, to have a NFS/Samba as a proxy to the ZFS file system so that the UT device accesses the file system remotely. The more straight-forward approach is to change the file system to BTRFS, assuming it meets your use cases. If you only need snapshots and backups, you should be fine.

    We've just released the RC image for the Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9, which should have version 2025-W21 or newer. Please take some time to switch your spare/development phone to the 20.04 RC channel and test this OTA. Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 is a maintenance release with only a minimal number of changes. That said, we still have a number of changes in this OTA. We would love an extra attention to the following areas: Basic phone functionality (call, SMS, MMS and cellular data) In particular, if your carrier supports VoLTE and you're using newer Volla phones (X23 and newer). This release include fixes which make VoLTE work on more carriers, which may introduce compatibility issues. If your device has an LED, please see if it works correctly. Whether Emojis show up correctly. (Not all of newer ones work, but the number should improve). Whether Waydroid works. Please note that only critical and security fixes will be able to enter Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 as this point. Normal bug fixes and new features will need to wait for our next release. Please do not discuss normal bug fixes and new features here. Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 is expected to be released on 3 June 2025. We appreciate all testing we will receive.

    Hi @ezst036 To clarify what everyone is saying, you have to swipe out the lock screen if you don't have any code set. It's still necessary to unlock the phone. It just doesn't mean what you think it means.

    @alagirialagiri said in what's a good minimum translation completion percentage: @doniks I want to know whether the news section , question and answer blog posts are available in weblate translation in Tamil language.There is no navigation box available as available in documentation page.i request weblate translators to provide the language transulation Navigation box for every forum .Thanking you. As I said before, I think it would be best to create a new post to maximise the chances that the right people can react to your questions, rather than burry your questions here in this thread. I don't have access to the blog

    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.
