@Lakotaubp said in UT on Nexus 5: File System Stuck As Read Only?: That [version of uTouch available here on RC channel] will be the new [OTA13] stable channel [version] anyway soon. Just to clarify ^^ RC remains RC, and when OTA13 is out, jump back to stable channel.

@Keneda Like HP, Canonical have been wimps. Never put the (massive) resources needed into mobile platform and then had to step back. In contrast, a little sponsoring today is peanuts for Canonical (that may focus on enterprise grade features for the otherwise community driven project). About asking Canonical, I think there's no need for that. There's just one UBports foundation out there and Canonical certainly knows where to find them. (But just in case ...)

@Lakotaubp said in Block sites /etc/host: @augustblake Please explain further what you mean about guest account and admin. We don't have guest accounts unless you mean browsing without joining (very limited options). If your worried about your details they are safe but as i said explain further. He wants "guest" account on his ubport device. @augustblake said in Block sites /etc/host: Also lol if anyone knows how to make a guest account. It doesn’t seem very safe to have admin only on here. uTouch works on sandbox basis or quite similar, all important files and folders are read only, and quite all apps have low privilege access. Only some trusted, and reviewed apps, have full system access, and those apps will for most ask you for your account/device admin password to allow you to "mess" with important system parts.

@wayne_tbt Ok, great to hear. Thanks for sharing the reason how to fix this issue.

@rhysers Also, flash mobian or another OS with known good networking, onto an SD card and try with that. Several folks on the pinephone forums could not get networking to set up a new sim with UT, but could with Mobian. Maybe some difference between how ofono works vs nmcli.

Must be the combination of Libertine on the Nexus 7 then maybe...

@beni-espinosa said in Stuck screen after installation on Oneplus One: I get the message "connection to device lost". I got that too, so I used a different cable and tried again and then it ran all the way through.

@Tellina It might be interesting to check and mention if necessary your problem here (beta volla phone testers) : https://github.com/HelloVolla/ubuntu-touch-beta-tests/issues

I'll try those suggestions. Thanks.

Thank you gents, I am reassured and will turn on automatic downloads again.

@Flohack I think you had the right idea. The last couple of days I closed all opened apps before shutting down the device and there was no crash/restart of lomiri. So it could be that the issue is depending on the lower amount of ram. I will observe this behaviour. Thanks.

@joshtop Restore a factory image for Nexus 5 from here https://developers.google.com/android/images or here https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5 Best to pick one between android 5 and 7, any will do. Also, plenty of help on how to in the forums. Just search "nexus 5". If you bought one because you don't know how to do any of that, there is the Nexus 5 tool, that does most of it for you in the Nexus 5 vs Nexus 5X thread. Only works on windows though.

That's thanks to you for finding it out

@Nathan123 You can try and join "UT bootcamp"on Matrix for help starting. About how long, it really depends on the time you can spare, your motivation and what you already know. About the helpfulness, it depends ton your goal ; if it's about being helpful to the community it can be fast, if it's about being helpful as a porter or a developer then it can take months...

I think it was either a server error, or my pc not recognizing my network properly, cause there is no error now. Sorry!!

@ThePossessor Yes, they are aware and actively working the problem, with some potential solutions. This all takes time, and I for one am very impressed how far all the development teams have come in such a short time. Very soon I think, the phone will be ready to be a daily driver.

@Nathan123 Download from OpenStore the wifiscanner app and have a look at the signals strenght. You could run in terminal the ifconfig command, especially when is buggy and see what have changed in the wlan0 status.

About TOR with UT, See https://open-store.io/app/onion.nanuc.org

This is a known issue. See here?

@LKG I have never used twrp on my N5 so I suspects that you will need to reflash the "recovery.img" with stock android "recovery.img". Here is the procedure: Download the factory android images for N5 Hammerhead from here: https://developers.google.com/android/images#hammerhead extract the zip archive, within that folder, there is another zip archive extract that too. Inside the second folder you'll have the "recovery.img" Right click on an empty spot in the folder, in the menu click on "open terminal here". I assume that you'll have adb and fastboot installed. Enter bootloader by turning off the phone. Connect the phone to your pc. Press power and volume down until it enter bootloader mode In the terminal type this: You should check if the the pc connects to the phone: fastboot devices If the pc has connected to the phone proceed with the next step. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot reboot bootloader. when the phone enters the bootloader again after the last command, run the ubports installer. I suspect that this is the procedure for unbricking your phone when you forgot to activate usb-debugging in developer Mode. So if there is someone whit a softbricked N5, try the above procedure and make a comment if you are able to use adb when your phone is in recovery.
