    Re: Ubuntu Touch Installation Guide for Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC / X3 For those looking to use a Poco X3, it is now much more difficult to unlock the bootloader, especially on MIUI 14. To unlock the bootloader, you MUST: have a China region Xiaomi account (if yours is global, you need a new account) have a SIM card in the phone link your phone to the account and add the phone number (SMS verification often fails) request unlock authorization at midnight China time (limited to 2000 requests worldwide daily) All known methods to bypass the 7 day waiting period still need a code that is generated server-side only after linking a phone number. A phone number can only be added to your Xiaomi account if your region is set to China. And you cannot change the region of an existing account. While you can use a phone number from any country, the account region must be set to China. Information is Xiaomi community is outdated and unlikely to be updated. Xiaomi is making it more difficult to unlock bootloaders across all models, but has not yet explicitly banned unlocking. They have also instructed their service centers not to unlock bootloaders for any reason other than when necessary for repair, and to ensure they are re-locked when returning the device to its owner.

    @sompe Just installed a new 4x. Camera wont work out of the box because of missing permission for camera App. Resolved the issue by Hardreset and deleting Device. Then installed Recorder and gave permission for mic. Waited several Minuts. Then started Camera. Prompt came up asking for permission. Camera Works now. Permissions cant be edited by gui.

    @ZZZZ said in Redmi Note 8 Pro: Hello, can you tell me why the OpenStore app doesn't work after installing UT on the Redmi Note 8 Pro? No, but maybe it's because the port is outdated and abandoned?

    @arubislander said: Although, to be fair the creator of the WhatsNew app has taken measure to suspend the app when it looses focus as well I've not done that specifically in whatsnew. What happens is that normally when an electron app is not anymore in foreground it goes into a "throttling" mode meant to keep operating the website but with lower resources. This is a feature from chromium. That being said I have no idea why XWayland/electron apps don't get suspended by default. For Signal UT or Whatsnew it is handy to get background notifications though. The behaviour encountered by @smobilesoft (high CPU usage) is not normal , I've not been able to observe it myself, and it seems since he reinstalled the app it has gone. So this is a bit strange.

    I can't edit my first post, so this is the UP TO DATE TUTORIAL : How to install UB T - Ubuntu Touch - UBPorts on a Poco X3 Pro - Vayu Unlock bootloader Install TWRP or OrangeFox Install a global MIUI 12.5.9 with Android 11 (to be sure all is ok) http://xmfirmwareupdater.com/miui/vayu/stable/V12.5.9.0.RJUMIXM/ Download Artefact on github : devel-flasable-focal (to see the last version is here Extract the zip Download the vendor from Droidian vayu 100 or take the last one here : Droidian git (it is the Sailfish one, and I don't find it on UBT) It is the MIUI with some fix for Linux on phone. You could try just the adaptation images, but not tested : Adaptation for Poco X3 Pro codename Vayu Extract the zip Reboot your phone in recovery Reboot in fastboot from recovery so it is fastbootd (Android fastboot, don't works) From the Ubuntu zip : Upload with fastbootd on phone boot.img as boot- From the Droidian zip : Upload with fastbootd on phone vendor.img as vendor, dtbo.img as dtbo, vbmeta.img as vbmeta on TWRP format data to remove encryption, and put ubuntu.img in data folder (/data). With MTP on TWRP for example (you copy it from you computer and you could find in /data/media. (It could need a reboot to recovery, after a format to see the media folder) Or with ADB : adb push ubuntu.img /data/ Reboot phone Enjoy ! The mic sound seem to be lower than Droidian, so a fix could be taken on Droidian. EDIT : Sorry, we don't have to flash system partition, UBT use the ubuntu.img in /data.

    @Vlad-Nirky said in [Poco X3 pro] Need help system not flashing: @snailc said in Need help system not flashing: miui version: 12.5.6 On the device page only poco X3 is listed, i don't see poco x3 pro. https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ This device is different, maybe it can use UT... The miui 12.5.6 is Android 11 and the poco X3 is on halium 10 so need Android 10. You should ask on the Miatol Telegram page if somebody has already used this device... https://t.me/UTForMiatoll Hi ! X3 Pro is not on device page, because we don't have maintainer, maybe I will if UBT choose LVM and I could keep my other OS to. The port is very good but need few check. I agree with you, people with Miatoll can help and we have a global X3 Pro Linux group : https://t.me/LinuxForPocoX3Pro The tutorial page for X3 Pro : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11334/poco-x3-pro-ubuntu-touch-tutorial-installation-guide-vayu-and-help-channel

    @Induchoodan You can't, there is nothing to install. It would need to be ported. If you are interested in that, here is the documentation. https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting Please keep in mind that this is not a fast or easy process and there is a lot of reading involved.

    @gabo29 you can see the supported devices at https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ although not all of them are at the same level of usability. As this forum is in English if you need help in Spanish maybe the Spanish telegram group can help you https://t.me/UBPorts_ES puedes ver los dispositivos compatibles en https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ aunque no todos están en el mismo nivel de usabilidad. Como este foro es inglés si necesitas ayuda en español quizás te puedan ayudar en el grupo de telegram en español https://t.me/UBPorts_ES
