@dobey Thank you very clear

@Flohack Thank you for the answer. Yes, TEleports is more and more functionally stable and become better and better even if it is still called.. BETA

Question related to the Volla Phone: Will libhybris be required for running UT on the Volla Phone? EDIT: I reposted my Volla question in the Ubuntu Touch Q&A 63 thread.

I was able to install Ubuntu Touch on Aquaris M10 HD with pre-installed Android 8.1.0. I am not experienced in flashing mobile devices therefore some things shown in the video were unclear for me but still very useful. I don't know what was important so I'm posting these steps combined from the video and official instructions that were lucky for me. If there is something wrong with it, please, correct me. Hope that it will help other unexperienced users in the future. Start pre-installed Android 8.1.0 on the tablet (hold "Power" button) and enable developer mode and USB debugging there. Power off the device by holding "Power" button. Start the tablet by holding "Power" button and "Volume Up" button to select device's boot mode. Choose "Fastboot mode" by "Volume Up" button and then press "Volume Down". Device doesn't reboot automatically. Power off the device by holding "Power" button for a few seconds and then start it again by "Power" + "Volume Up" buttons and select "Recovery Mode". In recovery menu select "Reboot to bootloader" item using "Volume Up"/"Volume Down" buttons and press "Power" button. => FASTBOOT mode... text will be shown at the left bottom corner of the blank screen. I guess it's time to flash the firmware, but it was unclear from the video whether I should power off the device or not. So according to these instructions I decided to power off the device (hold "Power" button for a few seconds). Download recent version of Smartphone Flash Tool and extract it's files from the archive. I used version 5.1916 for Linux 64-bit. To be exact, I'm on Kubuntu 18.04.1. Install missing library for SP Flash Tool: $ wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \ && sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \ && rm /tmp/libpng12.deb Go to directory with SP Flash Tool and make it executable: $ cd ~/Downloads/ubports/SP_Flash_Tool-5.1916_Linux $ chmod +x ./flash_tool.sh Start SP Flash Tool with root privileges: $ sudo ./flash_tool.sh Download old Canonical UT image called cooler for M10 HD, unpack it and select Android_scatter.txt file from there in SP Flash Tool ("Download" tab => "Scatter-loading File"). Choose "Firmware Upgrade" from dropdown list. Press "Download" button at the top left corner of "Download" tab. Connect powered-off tablet to USB 2.0 port of the computer. "Magic happens" — old UT image will be downloaded into device and installed. I saw BQ logo with "Powered by Ubuntu" label at the end but unfortunatelly further UT loading was stuck. Nothing happened for a long time. Download recent version of UBports Installer. It was deb of version 0.4.5-beta for me. Start UBports with root privileges: $ sudo ubports-installer and follow it's instructions. When I ran "Reboot to bootloader" and saw => FASTBOOT mode like it was in 6, I didn't power off the tablet before connecting to computer. Everything was fine, I got rotating Ubuntu logo on the screen first, and working fresh Ubuntu Touch image three minutes later.

Really helpful and clear thanks @lduboeuf

Thank you @Dalton for answering my question about contacts backend and carddav sync with nextcloud/owncloud. Safe life journey @mardy then. Will keep patience Hopefully, some developers would find the time and energy to make it real before the arriving of Pinephone/Pinetab...

@matteo thanks @NeoTheThird, @mariogrip and @UniSuperBox for replying to my question regarding the unconfined apps in OpenStore. Incidentally I'm developing an app which is unconfined not because I wanted to by-pass the apparmor rules, but because I had no choice in order to make it work (see dataMonitor). If there will be the chance to add a confinement layer tailored on apps needs, it would be great. I hope one day my app functionalities will be included in the OS "Settings" section, but in the meantime I could eventually think to publish it on the OpenStore, following the instructions of the UBports team .

Listened last night, great chit chat. Always nice hearing some personal stories from devs involved in the project.

@kugiigi i use the lg watch urban(W150)(codename bass) and it worked well with my N5. With my MX4 the connection is disconnected after each notification. But I think it's the Bluetooth of the MX4 and not the clock.

Congrats and thanks to everyone working on this.I actually just started using this as my phone a week to the day.Picked up a used Nexus 5.

@dobey said in Ubuntu Touch On Librem 5 Important Update: Now, if only I could convince people to give me a million dollars for something that's expected to fail. My guess is most of the people who funded it expected it to succeed. It seemed like a moonshot to me, but they were the only people publicly touting a phone platform at that time that was not tied to a proprietary operating system in some form or another, so I gave them $600 (or whatever it was at the time) to see what they could do. I backed the Ubuntu Edge too, FWIW. Got a refund for that. Have no idea what I'll get from Purism. I do hope they succeed, and I do hope I get a phone from them someday, but they're being the opposite of transparent at the moment, which is worrisome.
