@steffend I understand now why my search for Pixel9a on the forum didn't get anything, it because of the space... and that's why I don't include it to make searching easier.

@pe3noATo2DOTpl I gonna try to port to the n8000 too but I need to wait for an new motherboard because my old motherboard had an nand failure because of this post I know porting is what I want to do as an hobby thanks everyone who came to this post btw

@tr4in33 - unfortunately, it is very unlikely any Unihertz product will ever get a decently functioning port for Ubuntu Touch, because that company is absolutely horrible (and in fact in violation of the licensing) for ever posting the kernel source for its devices. Best regarfs, Steve Berson

@k.nacke thanks for all your work on this. any updates on the missing character issue? i just installed using the latest devel-flashable-large artifacts from Friday, January 30, 2026 - https://gitlab.com/redstar-team/ubports/lenovo-tab-m8/lenovo-tab-m8/-/jobs/12937600982/artifacts/browse and ran into the following issues: i initially chose English (UK) in setup per CaptainTalonAlt's post quoted below, but was unable to enter the wi-fi password due to j and 9 registering as spaces in the password prompt. @CaptainTalonAlt said: The keyboard characters seems to fix for English (UK), it’s the US keyboard that seems the problem. after skipping wi-fi setup and testing the English (UK) keyboard in the notes application: f shows on the keyboard but enters as a space. all other letters and numbers work. entering j does work in notes but still does not work on the wi-fi password prompt in settings. a number of the symbols on the 2nd page of symbols are blank but all input in notes when pressed. i switched language to english (us) and rebooted: j and 9 now work when entering wi-fi password at the prompt q, y, f, g, h, k and ? are blank on the keyboard but input in notes. all upper case letters show on the keyboard correctly and all symbols on the 2nd page as well. The language listed in grey over the space bar shows En lish thanks again

@TermuxnTR its from 20.04 , 16.04 is not booting

@Satanas1275 While we are all for seeing more and all kinds of Linux on phones, soliciting help on a Postmarket OS port is very much off topic for this forum, wouldn't you agree?

right now the graphics stack is giving me some issues in all this ...i might break on this for a bit and work the opi5 build or a plethora of programs for a bit to avoid burn out

the opi 5 build uses the same script for my x86_64 version currently i still have not tested the opi5 version just the x86_64 version so idk UT build script: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1psGjDJQ40fcwWYlxNBS_0QZW_Tpne4ZU/view?usp=drive_link

I have tried to get help from the ubports_porting telegram group,but automatically kicked and blacklisted due to my pastebin link

@k.nacke Thank for the hint

Update: UBports CI now spits out a recovery ramdisk for Halium 10.0 and up. Select your Halium generation and download the ramdisk here: https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fporting%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fgeneric_arm64/

@linhmieu2 You need to determine the VNDK level of your Android firmware, e.g. with adb shell getprop | grep vndk or using the Treble info app. Use that number to look up the corresponding Android version, e.g. at API levels. For example, if the VNDK version is 34, then you need to put deviceinfo_halium_version="14" in your deviceinfo file. The VNDK level is the API version level, and this it what counts for halium. Note that the version derived in this way may not correspond the Android version your device displays. E.g. I have a OnePlus 11 running Android 15, but the VNDK version is still 33, which corresponds to Android 13. For this device, I need to use 13 as the halium version. You may also want to put the number as ApiLevel into the /etc/gbinder.conf file in your system overlay. There is no "Android 12 kernel". I think it would be better if you post the concrete problems you encounter. The telegram group for porters is also a good place to ask or search for answers. Kai
