This is a matter of patience sometimes. Did you read instructions carefully on the devices site?: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/jasmine-sprout/ Sometimes it can do the trick to repeat the installation, sometimes even several times.. In my case I didn't have to downgrade to android 9, but most of the cases it seems to be useful. Just try again, be patient and kind to yourself! maybe you want to read reports in the forum first, there are always some good hints to find: https://forums.ubports.com/category/92/xiaomi-mi-a2 good luck!

@magnargj The truth is that I do not know, the problem seemed in the management of USB, the installer stayed in 'Flashing', but nothing happened to the phone, Android was still there.

@2devnull good luck!

@messayisto Hi, sorry I don't know. I don't own this phone and from what I can read here Xiaomi are well supported, but are a pain in the butt to install at first. I'd say, if you already have this device you can try to install Ubuntu Touch and see if it fails :man_shrugging: If you don't have the device yet, I'd suggest to opt for other device but it will depend deeply on your needs and how you feel about the installation effort.

@magnargj thanks

@ogogon yeah ubuntu touch does replace android

@odo Great news, congratulation!

@srram Video calling on Ubuntu Touch is not something that can be done for now, I'm afraid.

@loganj hm, installing firefox-esr just does not work... no idea why. Regarding your dream: In theory it is totally possible to install and use some desktop applications if they are availabe for arm(64). Practically there will be some drawbacks, like drm-video-streams will not work for example. At least, I don't know of anyone who managed to watch Netflix or similar on an Ubuntu Touch device.

@antidroid for SNAP, it is here: ~/snap/ubports-installer/current/.cache/ubports, however, the messages are not very helpful for someone begining with ubports I reported it - it might be an issue for new users with newly adopted devices

@purplevvay Shoot, I'll keep you posted on whether mine keeps working or not
