@wynn1212 Thank you for your detailed reply. I was using Ubuntu 24.04.2 with Kernel Linux 6.8.0-57-generic both on and old AMD desktop first then on a Windows Surface Laptop (running same Ubuntu version) with a USB2.0 to USB C cable. Next I tried a USB C to USB C cable on a Dell laptop (also running latest Ubuntu version) and after 2 or so attempts the flash was successful (not clear why). However today, I did the same procedure with another new FP4 using the Dell Laptop and USBCtoC cable and it again failed initially. When I connected the phone (already in fastboot mode) and restarted the bootloader from fastboot when installer was asking to manually switch the phone to fastboot, I was successful. This is quite frustrating because it still is not clear to me how to exactly reproduce this issue. It is definitely not the cable or the computer used. I agree this must be an interaction between the Ubuntu version and/or kernel and the phone. It almost looks like a timing issue, restarting bootloader at the right time lets the process go through. I could not test on Windows because I only have a work laptop running windows which does not allow starting non-certified appimages.

@Moem Thank you for the clarifications. Best regards.

@Joadri Hi For me it didn't work with redmi note9pro It shows connected I wife but nothing casted

@irnbru That is correct, the device is "Billie", but the Other names is to do with something else.

@Sheihorath Thankss, marking as solved

Hi @bamboy360 I see you made quite some posts here. I appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu Touch and your intention to help however you can. I just wanted to clarify that the forum is intended to discuss topics with the community. I'm explaining this because some posts can be interpreted as bug reports or feature requests. For bugs and requests it's best to create an issue on Gitlab or to the relevant project (Waydroid or a specific app). Cheers mate

Hi @saveurlinux They plan a first alpha release in 2026. So it's not for today. But if they want to support Ubuntu Touch, they are welcome to contact us for help integrating it. There are many trials to create an alternative to Chrome and all are welcome to make a version for Ubuntu Touch. UBports sadly does not have the resources to work on something else. We have efforts made to bring Webkit to Ubuntu Touch as well as work done with Firefox and the upgrade of Morph to Qt6. 3 projects and probably only 3 persons doing work. And they also contribute to porting, apps and the OS.

@journeyman09 Pegasus seems to target Android and iOS. So not a threat for Ubuntu Touch. But even if it were, you would have needed to install it yourself, or have run / installed a click package from outside the Open Store.

@PiotrBujakowski i know its been a minute but ....can you elaborate?

@phmqXPD sweet work!

@uwahl said in UT filemanager preview rotated picture orientation issue: Anything I could do? You could start by checking if there is already an issue opened in the File Manager issue tracker (link can be found in the Open Store listing of the app). If there already is an issue opened, you can check if there is additional info that can be added. If you can code (or are willing to learn) you could jump in and try to solve the issue and open an MR when you have.

Okay, it can be closed, after installing another ADB Driver it worked

@gn-lin s21 is a different phone, has a different SoC and not really related to this s20 fe effort

@James-T What you surmised is quite correct. To shutdown the OP6 and 6T you have to either leave it a while, or use the key combo to het to fastboot mode and power off from there.

Hello.. My feeling, maybe I'm wrong is that some UT users wonder what are the models of smartphones, with which version of halium, are of the future and will support both Noble and Volte, including for the Volla. ... And if they will have to buy again a new smartphone. I only understood that the Fairphone 5 is a safe bet: is it well with Halium 13 when sold now with Android 14? Is there an official post (or will have ?), full procedure, to flash Noble on Fairphone 5, when we are or not on halium 13 ? Is it possible or sure that Fairphone 5 will be sold with UT (Noble) ? Can you clarify the supporting models (which will quickly support) Noble and Volte with the corresponding halium, including for the Volla? Thank you and good luck for the mass of work that all the developers make for the transition to noble and the volte support.

AFAIK it will move to noble, but it won't get VoLTE (like the Vollaphone). First it's nice to know that these devices are kept alive with the move to noble, but on the other hand it's a pity that they won't get VoLTE (even if they are capable of that under VollaOS). So they will be up to date from the software-side, but can't do a simple phone call or sending a message/SMS because of the 2G shutdown
