    @ogogon iirc the devices page is defaulting to Focal 20.04 devices as that is the main OS now. There is no further development on 16.04 and both those devices do not have a 20.04 version. The devices are still there but you need to use the filters for 16.04 Xenial.

    Hi @Luksus. I never found the FF3 with UT to be quite snappy enough. The possibility of Waydroid on the FF5 is a major plus. It's disappointing that can't use the higher resolution or 2nd camera.

    @formel Can confirm it works as well. I have installed it successfully on TB-X306F and TB-X306X multiple times to breath a better life into these older tablets. To help you, you must have the following before attempting the UT install: a) A TB-X306F or X that is the 4Gb/64Gb version - that gives you the best experience. b) A return to Android strategy - You need a windows PC and the Lenovo Software Fix tool - by far the easiest way to restore a Lenovo device is with this tool. c) Decent USB-C cable d) The tablet has to have Android 11 running on it for technical reasons e) The latest version of ADB and Fastboot installed on the PC - Windows had an issue with FastbootD (not fastboot), but it has sorted itself out now and works. f) Patience and leaving things alone. Moving the tablet when things are going on can cause a loose USB cable to move and stop things working. g) This tablet on the installer does everything for you with minimal interaction, as above, leave it alone and things take time, the reboot from fastboot to fastbootD can take a couple of minutes and the reboot from fastbootd to recovery can take 2~3 minutes. Be patient and persevere. I hope this helps, but do make sure you have the TB-X306F 4Gb/64Gb version. There is a Telegram channel for this device here as well as help with installation here where you will get help and quickly.

    @retrocountry As far as I know, a version for that device does not exist, so that would need to be created. This is what we call porting, and that device has never been ported. If you want to learn more, here is the porting guide.

    @krang That's sad to hear … Though, I wouldn't lose hope just yet … maybe @amartinz and @Flohack know more about SHIFTs stand on this? According to the device page they contributed to the port alongside SHIFT GmbH. As a side note, there is also work done to bring up postmarketOS on SHIFT6mq in which @amartinz also seems to be involved! Although that might not be suitable for your daily use … (I'm also interested in Shiftphones regarding non-Android-OS-support, which is why I was having an eye on this subforum ;))

    @czr5014 I already answered on your other same thread, with a link on rules about porting, that also give a link leading to a helper for porting yourself if you wish and have skills for. Please do not make multiple threads for the same topic and use the good subforums. I now lock this thread as it's a duplicate, continue discussion on your two other one please.

    I use a Fairphone 4 on channel 24.04/daily. When I did my research and asked the same questions you have, I came to the conclusion that USB3.0 display port with a wired connection to HDMI monitor was superior to any other USB2.0 device which has to use some kind of other technology to connect to another screen, but can connect a USB keyboard and a mouse. From my USBC3.0 display out decision I figured out that Fairphone 4 or 5 would be suitable although very expensive. The next question was if 6GB RAM would be enough (yes it is enough), or if I need 8GB RAM. I have started with the banking app world with Waydroid. It looks promising as it seems that banking apps have changed their restrictions and are ok with running on waydroid. 4.9 GiB RAM is being used while having waydroid and all other kinds of apps open, but swapping of 900 MiB has started to appear. sysctl vm.swappiness equals 100 (=max) so I lowered it to 1 to see what happens. So far no crashes. It still appears to be enough with 6GB RAM to run waydroid and apps. Waydroid in desktop mode on a 24 inch monitor 1920x1080 needs completely different settings than in native portrait mode 6.5 inches and I haven't figured out how to make waydroid look good in both modes. I chose landscape mode and seem to be stuck in those settings even after disconnecting the HDMI monitor, so obviously I made the wrong decision adapting waydroid to landscape desktop mode 1920x1080. For banking you would obviously want to use LibreOffice Calc next to waydroid side by side and copy-paste between waydroid and LibreOffice. Waydroid seems to require full screen landscape in desktop mode with huge text, although it would probably be ok with portrait mode waydroid on half of the monitor screen. Waydroid may need some fine tuning on Fairphone 4. It looks promising. I think it is more practical to use a Linux Desktop for banking stuff at the moment if you need to use spreadsheets at the same time. Fairphone 5 is the only one still being sold. Fairphone 4 is much harder to find. Usually there are sales on Fairphone 5 during times like Black Friday, but there are no units in stock to be sold over the counter, only online sales. There is a lot of writing about shifting customer support, lack of spare parts like extra batteries, extra USBC-ports and price point, which made me hesitate a lot. It didn't get better to see 12GB RAM Pixel 9/10 sell-outs for as little as 270 €, but of course: There is no port! I landed in that it is probably wiser to wait until a cheap 12-16GB RAM device with USB3 display out is ported. Fairphone 5 was the only option available at the time so it was either to accept it and be ok with the price point or wait until something like Redmi 18C with USB3 arrives and sells out for 100 €. The frustration is on my part that you have to anticipate which device will most probably be ported in the future and buy it when it sells out, maybe years before it gets ported. You can't easily get such a device later. On top you have this whole locked bootloader unlocking process and downgrading android if you are lucky to own a device which gets ported in the future. In that sense, it was Fairphone or nothing for me. Learning about repair disasters from this forum, I would think twice to go for Fairphone with what I know today. If you have 700 € and consider it worth taking a short term risk, go for a new Fairphone, it is definitely good enough for now. If no 700 € exist , I would personally with the knowledge I now have wait until another cheap 12-16 GB RAM device with USB3 that you can still buy appears in the Ubuntu Touch device list. Android 16 is supposed to offer desktop mode, which might push developers of devices to put in USB3. It is also common with 6000mAh batteries now and tablets most often have even more battery power. I am aware of that it might take time until more devices are ported. I have been looking around for posts how users with USB2 devices solve the display out need without affecting internet connection, WiFi speeds and so on. WiFi-7 is another thing that starts popping up and that I personally think is going to become my requirement for future devices. 32 GB RAM seems to become the new norm on desktops, given that many wish to run local ai models which apparently need 20GB RAM to run 14B models on the graphic card. My Fairphone 4 is good for all I am testing out, which is generally making it into a PC using wifi. I don't use mobile data that much at the moment. My focus is to make the device useful for everything you need in daily life, on any kind of internet connection. Calls can be made via Signal, Linphone, matrix.org, so I don't really need anything more than some sort of internet. Zoom app is another thing to be aware about that does not work on Linux ARM, but probably does work in Waydroid. Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB would probably be another cheap PC that fits inside your pocket, although it's wifi is reported to drop speed drastically once you move away a couple of meters from the WiFi-5 access point. It does lack a good form factor with the extra board needed for SSD hard drive to get better speed, so it is not really an option to carry around. It's ai capabilities are not super either. Which is why I went for a Fairphone and am trying to get all what I need to work properly on it. I think it is the only option right now, which unfortunately makes me who want USB3 become more dependent on one supplier who can do what they want. I don't like that, but it is what it is right now. Overall I am more than ok with my Fairphone 4. It is not bad at all, but it is an expensive toy. Maybe I was lucky to get a good unit too. It has not broken yet. You still need to be tech savvy to get everything to work the way you wish in Fairphone 4. Not much comes ready out of the box on Fairphone 4 compared to a ten year old computer with latest Linux Desktop. I would not give Ubuntu Touch to others today to use even though they already adopted Linux desktops over Windows and Apples. It is in my opinion still too complex for a newbie regular user who prefers Android and such that has been around longer. I fear I would become a constant PC support for others if I promoted Ubuntu Touch to them today. 2-3 years from now I think Ubuntu Touch will be much better for the large crowds who are not tech enthusiasts. For me personally Ubuntu Touch is good enough already today for most things I need, including python3 scripting, API calls, JSON-data and LibreOffice. Copy-paste issues in Libertine, scrolling with mouse and screenshots of individual windows and regions like you do on a Linux Desktop is my biggest concern right now. Protonvpn I wish to get working and there seems to be a way with using wireguard (search the forum to find the post). I noticed that the old PS2 mouses work better than new gaming mouses in desktop mode. Connecting other things to Fairphone 4 is for me more important than I thought previously. A couple of days ago I was able to mount a USB pendrive, today I didn't succeed to mount an external USB storage.

But sadly until volte works I will continue daily driving my furiphone flx1s am considering trying UBtouch on it but it works great and I don't want to lose a linux daily driver.

    So I've been using the brax3 since beta testing it. Its a great device and rob said UBtouch should be flashable sometime next week. I have a beta and a production device, so I will keep one degoogled for a daily, but will definitely be flashing the other. I can definitely keep you updated on how it's working if you'd like. I have a vollaphone 22 but haven't been able to get it to work here. I've been trying to find a phone that works in the USA and runs Linux and have not yet. I was considering picking up the furiphone to use furios (droidian fork), and the brax3 for UBtouch and hope at least one of them would work here in the states.

    @qnx_guy I have no specific experience with the F(x)etc, but I've had a surprisingly good experience with the Microsoft Miracast V2. It seems to only be available used though, and is expensive. Mine has latency that seems to be less than 0.5s, which I find quite useable. And yes, the device becomes a touch pad mouse when connected, though you can also connect a BT keyboard and mouse. But it does seem like most people have a less successful experience than me.

    @ancientsounds said in UT on F(x)tec Pro1-X: I haven't tried casting to an external monitor. From I was told, the change in hardware impacted this feature. So no display port over USB type C... Also, what I know is that it doesn't work.
