  @rubencarneiro : Your are welcome.

  By the way as Info for all, that are seeking having VollaOS on their phone, even when it comes with ubuntu touch. I think now to sideload Volla OS is much easier, because when I did Install Volla OS with ubport I had the situation, that it loaded VollaOS12.1 and got an error message that the phone has been manipulated. It took me also quite some time to update to volla OS 13. I have seen in different posts in differen forums, that people normaly live with that. But I have now no error message at the beginning and as I have understood from Ruben, that the sideload way also flashes the boot partitions, so everything is fully conform for Volla OS and secure now.

  If my thoughts are wrong, please correct me for the help for other Volla Phone Users. Thanks Dom

  Installing the 20.04/devel channel does infact result in a booting Phone!!

  This is the installer output for the 20.04/devel install:

  info: UBports Installer restarting... info: device selected: mimameid_h12 info: Installing Ubuntu Touch on your Volla Phone 22 with new display (mimameid_h12) info: configuring... info: settings: {"bootstrap":true,"channel":"20.04/arm64/android9plus/devel"} info: Downloading 10 files info: Downloaded file 1 of 10 info: Downloaded file 2 of 10 info: Downloaded file 3 of 10 info: Downloaded file 4 of 10 info: Downloaded file 5 of 10 info: Downloaded file 6 of 10 info: Downloaded file 7 of 10 info: Downloaded file 8 of 10 info: Downloaded file 9 of 10 info: Downloaded file 10 of 10 info: All done! Your device will now reboot and complete the installation. Enjoy exploring Ubuntu Touch!

  So is it a good idea to run 20.04/devel on Volla 22 phone for daily productive use?

  Now I wonder about the expected timeframe for those magic changes in "devel" to trickle down into a "stable" release to use on my Volla phone...

  cheers,

  Dave

  There is no fool proof trick to get a faster first fix.
  Just follow these rules :

  Put your device in a well open location with clear line of sight from the sky in most directions. Keep your device unlocked and screen lit up. The active app should be using the GPS, meaning the GPS icon should be filled.

  In good conditions it will be fast, but depending on your hardware and the constellations it can take some time.
  An additional tip would be to set the device in flight mode to avoid disturbing the GPS signal with WIFI or the modem...
