@delphi_coder To add to what @TotalSonic has already mentioned Some phone manufacturers do provide the sources for their modifies kernels (all should, legally, but only some do unfortunately), but the drivers are proprietary binary blobs without available source code. These drivers are written to work with specific versions of the kernel. They could possibly work with a newer kernel if they were recompiled against itm, but alas, that cannot be done, since the there is no available source code for the drivers. Something being Ubuntu is not defined by the package manager or the Desktop Environment. Ubuntu Core exists, which does not use apt, and the dozens of flavors, each focussing on a different DE, and some even without any, also show that the DE does not define a distro being Ubuntu or not either. Ubuntu Touch uses the Ubuntu repos for its base packages, and Canonical has granted the project permission to use the name Ubuntu in the name for the OS.

Another update: Qtractor can be installed via Libertine (with libqtcore4 as prerequisite) and functions. Trouble is that Jack doesn't work and so actually recording on Qtractor hasn't happened for me yet. I think a real-time plugin is needed. I'm hoping someone who knows more than me will weigh in, but would this be useful to us?: https://ubuntu.com/engage/an-introduction-to-real-time-linux-part-i Or does anyone know how to get Jack working with interface? I will mess around with ALSA and see if I can get some MIDI stuff done. Balrong

@taiga-woods said in Tshirt request: It would be great if those merch shirts and hoodies were organic and fair I agree. And looking at the label, they seem to be! At least the shirts... I can't vouch for the hoodies as I can't check the label while I'm wearing it.

I would not count on it, there is a reason why it specifically lists the global version. And trying to install on a device that is almost but not precisely the right one is a great way to brick it.

You are correct i got rootfs rw all i fid was try again i guess it just took the 37th try .....whole thing makes no sense but it works Also im able to run clickable from the command line

@kuko Sorry that is not how it works. Each device needs it's own port and the developer needs to own one. You arte free to try yourself if you can plenty of help is available. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps/1

@redxxiii matrix is fantasic, we have a ubports space so people can easily find related rooms without having to ask people to redirect them to the right place. Issue is onboarding, and no great matrix app on ubuntu touch. Fluffychat is okay, and cinny is great in desktop mode but not fantastic in mobile mode, I have dreams that we'll have neochat or something as good someday, but neochat requres newer qt.

@capsia Oh, Thank you !

@snoopy No one can answer this question, there is no list of futur ported devices. Most of ports are done by community members, people like you and me, that own a certain device and wish to have UT on it. PS : don't make a thread for asking someone to port on your device, it's against UBports code of conduct

@lumpology said in Pinephone Halium Port: I might be totally out of line by making a post like this There is no problem asking things to understand better. @stanwood answered you, but i'll add that booting process of pinephone is not the same as android devices, and even if this may be possible (i don't know) to boot an android port on pinephone, the best is to boot directly a GNU one, hardware is designed for this. However i moved thread as it is not in the good part of forum.

@alita said in Samsung A04s: So I can only throw the device into the trash. An unwanted gift without a receipt (so I can't resell it). I don't know where do you live but in most countries, you can resell "like pristine" any good on sites like ebay or rakuten, without any receipt...

I have moved your post, please see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x and https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps/1 just in case you want to have a go.

Hello and welcome @mangilmaih I moved your post to the Off Topic category. There are several reasons why requesting a port does not work and is not welcome. It's a lot of work. You are asking volunteers to do weeks or months of unpaid work. For porting, the volunteer making the port needs to have the device in hands. Otherwise it's like you are asking a tailor to make you a suit without taking your measurements: it will not fit. Not all devices can run Ubuntu Touch. Here is an article that explains some of the reasons why. In other words: you can't request a port. You can use an existing port, or you can make one for your own device. Those are the options you have.

@frelix The only way isf the device is not on the list https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io is tpo port the device yourself really. We do not dictate which devices for the devs and porters to work on, things do not work that way. Porters work on a device they like and own in their own time then bring it here.
