@moem Well... I'll have to learn about it...

@arubislander said in Acer tablet Iconia tab A510: @bilbao In addition to what @AppLee mentioned, 1GB of RAM really is insufficient to run Ubuntu Touch on. My BQ Ubuntu Phone has 1 GB RAM and is running Ubuntu Touch better than it did the Android Stock ROM In fact I think if the SoC wasn't so slow it would run even better! @bilbao Try running a regular Linux distro on it, because there were some recent changes in the Linux Kernel for better support of the Nvidia Tegra SoC's

@patricio1976 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE Huawei doesn't allow you to unlock the bootloader for many years now! Such a shame because some of their models would be a VERY NICE Ubuntu Touch phablet!

@byron-hawkins said in Generate device tree (dts) from a Windows install: the device has an ordinary BIOS that I can configure (F2 on splash). Then try booting Ubuntu or Kubuntu for the right ARM platform from a USB Stick and see if that works ?! If it does and you like it : Install to local disk!

@moem said in How to install Linux on an old tablet?: Secondly, that tablet has 1 GB of RAM. That makes it a poor candidate for porting it to UT. If that is the case then I totally agree with @Moem and would also advise you to forget the tablet unless you feel like learning some new development related skills by porting Ubuntu touch to it!

@ethantaylor If you would like to help develop apps for Ubuntu Touch please let us know, you will be made very welcome. However at present your post looks like spam which is why I moved it.

Thanks @nero355 and @applee, I'll keep an eye on XDA forum.

@justandude Please see the answers here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6838/frequently-asked-questions and I have moved your post https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x

@guywitholdphone I have moved the post as there is no port for this device https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x Each device needs a port of it's own which is not easy basic info here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps If you do give it a go there is plenty of help available but you need to check your device is suitable. Thanks.

@moncon - No worries! Thank you so much for the detailed and encouraging response. I just ordered a CC for Christmas and will surely install Debian and UT now with your recommendation. By the way, I was running UBports UT on my Pixel 3a XL and digging it until the cell network modem died (FYI: The modem hardware had issues before UBports UT install). Anyway, hope my CC wasn't manufactured and assembled on a Friday Thanks again. Cheers!

@cupkake Aurora never really worked in Anbox (don't know technically why). Somehow it was better with Yalpstore, but almost no app could be installed. You would rather install WayDroid instead of Anbox. Although it's still in development, it seems to run much better (Only Halium 9 and up devices) More information: www.waydro.id

@applee hi, If you say that you see no threat from using an alternative store. I say that I see no benefit from using an alternative store. These are, according to me, both not good arguments, but reflect the "mainstream" discussion we have recently in all media. My motto is: Where Opensource is on it, there should also be Opensource in it. Or: Ubuntu Touch I love it.

@007fred50 : will respond on the new thread instead

@anonymoustly There's project sandcastle who's working on getting android on iphone and postmarketos can boot on iphone 7/7+ thx to it ( see https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Apple_iPhone_7/7%2B_(apple-iphone7) ). Afaict nothing but the display really works yet, though. I guess if this ever properly works, it'll be a tad bit easier to port UT to, but someone will still have to do it ofc.
