@cliffcoggin Yes exactly, 4" Palm size!!! :grinning_squinting_face: :face_with_tears_of_joy: I still have an old HP Jordana, so a pocket size. Greetings Mario

@ub the installer is open source. I guess one way of finding out the manual steps would be to read the source of the installer and manually reproduce the steps it takes.

Hi, I am on my third Nexus 4 and Second Nexus 5. One 4 developed a touchscreen dead area, another died after having a bath in the river, my first Nexus 5 got into a boot loop - I am told because the on/off micro switch failed. I purchased a new one but need a microscope to change it - they are really tiny. The battery life is much better on the 4 - but after having terrible (4 hours max) battery life on the 5 and I also noticed the phone was getting very hot I tried a launcher reset, an erase and reset - and switched on screenlock but it was to no effect. In the end a re-installation via ubports installer did the trick. I bought the Polarcell battery which now gives about 2 1/2 days on standby - happy to note also the bluetooth connection to vehicle works far better now - it used to connect and drop - but next time I must back up settings as I lost a fair amount of time setting everything up again. I am a dabbler not a typical Linux user - I generally copy and paste others scripts to try to make things work. Ubports Touch I think is great OS for phones - I had to use basic Android and found the experience frustrating. I think the lesser functionality of the 4 is acceptable when you take into account the battery life. Cheap as chips on Ebay if you are willing to wait.

@taiga-woods Great ! For the next time : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6311/how-to-ask-a-question-and-then-mark-it-as-solved

I want to flash indeed, for the nexus 5 hammerhead. I want to better understand UT and the process of installing, that's why I like doing things myself. And Ubports needs to download many files when installing, then it would save me time to manually flash UT since I already have the files (images), especially if I want to do the operation several times or on several devices (considering that Ubports is installed on another PC or the cache is cleaned for some reason). I also like being able to do the stuff without internet connection. But there is a risk of getting the device bricked, that's why I need to be sure first.

Hi, @cliffcoggin, thanks for the reply, no it is germany... I am using a FP2 with UB without probplems (same provider and same settings)...

@mrt10001 ok...thank a lot and thank you for everything.

@djake AFAIK the Halium 7 port is not complete. There is a legacy port that is working, the easiest way to install Ubuntu Touch on your N5 is to use the Ubports installer. Note: Legacy port means it's based on a port made before Halium project inherited from the Canonical era...

@stanwood It does work, but if a custom ROM has been used, the partitions are not altered by reinstalling the stock ROM so UT won't install. It took me a couple of goes to work this out and use the hh_repartition zip to get the partitions back to stock. I learnt a lot repairing the Nexus 4 and 5 hardware wise, but also a lot about repairing the ROM and ultimately installing UT.

@mrt10001 Hey thank you sir it works!

@lxj Also the filesystem is readonly for many reasons. You should try and read the forum to learn more about Ubuntu Touch. Have you checked the FAQ: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6838/frequently-asked-questions

@lxj Stop now or be removed you have already be warned once about this. Stick to your first thread please.

The developers are testing an update - link to blog , so it may be resolved.

There is a repartition tool that you can use in TWRP to restore the partitions to their stock size. I have used it many of times to restore a Nexus 5. Download hh_clamour_repartition zip from here. Flash TWRP for the Nexus 5 and copy the zip file to the root of the phone storage, usually called SDcard. Follow the instructions on the XDA-developers link and set the partitions back to stock. Flash a stock ROM to the Nexus 5. Then install Ubuntu Touch to the phone. I use WugFresh Development tool for nexus to flash the stock ROM as it id easy to use and generally works.

@lakotaubp Done & done

@keneda There were two of them in there and I tried them both. Then I decided to uninstall both of them I try them out one at a time. I quickly got it working after it failed the first time. It kinda seems slow to me, at the moment but I'll keep trying them out. Thanks Keneda

@taiga-woods said in Stuck at Boot-Startscreen: Update: It works again, finally. It took me ca. 11 re-installations via the ubports-installer. The first attempts I tried the stable version with the outcome mentioned above. When trying the devel-version I got one step further and the phone stuck not at the first start-screen ("Nexus5-powered by ubuntu") but on the second, the ubuntu start-screen. This tiny success kept me going. Next (after another two installations, I got stuck at the point where I had to type in my password (I was almost there, but couldn't log in...). Well, eventually, it somehow works now with the stable version. Let's see if it holds up. Thanks to all of you who tried to help me. CU Thanks for this @taiga-woods. I have the same issue with my Nexus 5 on Devel. Same update caused it. Will give it all a try tomorrow. I'd not care so much but I have an oauth key on there I need. note: Google (and Amazon <shrug>) offer no functional recourse if you bork your key! Cheers, Christopher

@keneda Thank you for the quick reply.

Hi @jlnxr , Yes Libertine works well for CLI with ARM64 existing packages but GUI apps are not meant for the mobile form factor, you won't have good results with it. Hardware acceleration does not work for the N5 hence poor performances on video reading. That is a known limitation. The scaling of webapps is probably due to the original website or the lack of maintenance of said app. If your experience is based on Facebook, that is something that they do voluntarily to force the use of their dedicated iOS or android apps.
