@poVoq Not here: Pro 5, rc channel.

The login screen is always shown in the 'native orientation' of the device it is shown on. For tablets (or more accurately any screen size that is larger than some threshold value) this will be landscape. On most phones it is portrait. The real issue is that the login screen does not rotate based on the orientation of the device. There is already a discussion about this in the issue tracker. Maybe you would like to add your experience / expectation / point of view.

The desktop issue is an interesting one. I would encourage you to check if there is already an issue raised against this on GitHub, and if not, to do so yourself. At the very least it will get the conversation going.

Hi, just to be sure you can start reading this post :

And if you want to get involve and try porting your device, you may want to read that first :

Hope you'll find what you need.
I don't know how to port but I know how the forum works now 😛

@trainailleur
🙂 Fair point.

I have recently tried flashing LineageOS on a Nexus 5.

As @MarkG_108 said I still happen to have the UT bootloader I think (as a picture comes up on booting that Nexus 5 is powered by Ubports or something like that).

I ran in to multiple issues reinstalling stock Android (to test that first) but finally it worked fine, I downloaded the .img files from here and flashed each .img file individually with fastboot (like "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" or "fastboot flash system system.img" etc. I think from the folder that contained the images). I think I got the idea from this guide. This booted to normal Android I think with no issues (?). I had some issues connecting to fastboot and adb and I don't remember what I did to fix it but I just kept looking up what to do (like searching "how to fix fastboot devices not showing anything").

So, I don't know how different Nexus 7 is from Nexus 5, and am not sure if you tried to flash all the .img files (or if that is needed) since @Elowan said "installer complains about missing some images".

I'm thinking you should be able to do something to get things working though so I hope you can keep trying and talking with us and something works out!

@OlderNewbie The info you need maybe in here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps current supported devices are here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/. I am also moving this to Off Topic. Someone else may well have some more info for you.

I hope so. After using dex for some time, it reinforces the idea that the concept must be built with convergence in mind from the core, from the desktop UX to the apps. Otherwise it feels awkward at best, fragmented at worse. While I enjoy Dex, it is just a stop-gap for me until the REAL convergence comes along.

@Umang I never made an attempt to port yet.
The documentation can be found there : https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html

You should also check the halium project for your device...
Sorry I can't be of much help.

Nice, looks like the "Qualcomm MSM8953 Snapdragon 625" SoC this phone uses is now fully supported by libhybris (see link above).

This one is quite commonly used in some very cool devices: https://www.kimovil.com/en/list-smartphones-by-processor/qualcomm-snapdragon-625-msm8953

Getting back to this because of problems I am experiencing with UT. I appreciate your response and the tip on MidroG.

I was able to successfully install TWRP - someone at the XDA forum was kind enough to post a step by step procedure and it went without a hitch.

Since I will be wiping the device for any other ROMs I will try re-installing UT and wipe the user data this time.

@ComLarsic This might be useful https://t.me/pinephone to ask in as well.

YES! I can now stream my local jazz station on my phone, thank you!

Ah, alright

I guess I'll stick trying to install UBtouch ☺

I would also love a Pixel Port...

For those interested, more info can be found on LWN.net and Ars Technica.

On the PinePhone shop page it says: "USB: type C (SlimPort), USB Host, DisplayPort Alternate Mode output"
