With 1GB of RAM? It will struggle on UTouch...

If Halium would be working and if people can install UT on a large set of (even old) smartphones - I would write a message to Süddeutsche. But until only 'some' phones are available.... Hmm ;/ UT has some time left I would argue....

@FishFingers44 PinePhone expected March next year, Xperia X (F5121) and OnePlus 3/3T are coming along https://forums.ubports.com/category/46/devices.

@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.

@violetdragon Hi, just to be sure you can start reading this post : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x And if you want to get involve and try porting your device, you may want to read that first : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps Hope you'll find what you need. I don't know how to port but I know how the forum works now :face_with_tongue:

@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. https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/switching-custom-roms-twrp-t3962899#post81056949 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.
