          @fredldotme after various attempts installed it on GP 3a with the ubports-installer. But having the incoming sms problem described by @dieharddan. Also, Airplane mode on/off enables incoming sms temporarily. Any ideas on how to fix it?

                @Louie Could you please try the following:

                • Download https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T_00cBUyWrB3V-QLFxWPbmguYQ-gEdOn/view?usp=sharing
                • Copy the file to the Downloads folder on your phone
                • Open a terminal with adb shell
                • Run:
                sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                sudo cp /home/phablet/Downloads/libgbinder.so.1.0.47 /usr/lib/libgbinder.so.1.0.37
                sudo reboot
                

                Also interesting for you, please try to replicate the change here:
                https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/rootfs-builder-debos/-/merge_requests/18/diffs

                In case you don't know how to do this:

                sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                sudo nano /etc/init/ofono.override
                

                Remove the provision, from the file and save (Ctrl+o and enter, then Ctrl+x to exit) and sudo reboot for good measure.

                Please make sure to try the combinations separately, if any of the changes fixes it it would be interesting to know which combination it was, so please remember that and let me know! 🙂

                  Is it hard to get UT on a Pixel 3a? I think I tried to root it, and it was having issues. I'm fairly tech savvy...just not in this area of Android and Linux.

                    @Nathan123 rooting is not required but you need to unlock the bootloader. Follow this guide to unlock it: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-your-pixel-3a-0198625/

                    After that follow the guide, including reverting to the last Android 9.0 factory image and installing via the UBports Installer.

                      @fredldotme Thanks for your kind help :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: . I tried both options in different order without success. However, when turning airplane mode on messages come through after around 40 seconds. Then when turning airplane mode off message can be received for a few seconds. Please let me know if there's anything else I can try...

                        @fredldotme Oh ok. I didn't go back to 9.0. I'm currently on android 11. Will do that.

                        Here's the errors I'm seeing.

                          @fredldotme I really want to root. Don't I need it to have "complete control" over the phone?

                            @Nathan123 I'm sorry but this is not a support forum for Magisk and rooting. Installing Magisk is not a prerequisite so please follow the instructions on how to install UT.

                              @Louie What you could do too is make ofono run in debug mode and figure out what is hanging here, or send me the log in private (it will contain dialed numbers and such):

                              Connect to the phone via adb shell, then run

                              sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                              sudo nano /etc/init/ofono.override
                              

                              And append -n -d to ofonod's launch flags.
                              After a reboot you can obtain the log file from /var/log/upstart/ofono.log.

                                @fredldotme Just wanted to say, thank you! I have been dying to move away from Android/iOS, and was looking for the perfect device to do it on. I just got my hands on a Pixel 3a, and didn't even set up Android as I was so excited to try Ubuntu Touch. I'd like to mention, installation through the UBports Installer was an absolute breeze.

                                Thus far, the experience is awesome! I look forward to seeing Ubuntu Touch grow, and I'm sure as I get my hands dirty I'll be revisiting this page many times.

                                  @fredldotme I would like to try this, but im not quite sure what it means to append -n -d to ofonod's launch flags, could you elaborate?

                                    @dieharddan I am trying this as we speak. What he means is if you edit the ofono.override, you'll see a line:
                                    exec ofonod -P provision,udev*,dun*,smart*,hfp_bluez5,stktest,sap

                                    Asking to add -n -d as flags for when ofonod executes.

                                      @dsimmons Ok, thanks, I did edit the file as such: exec ofonod -P - n - d provision,udev*,dun*,smart*,hfp_bluez5,stktest,sap

                                      But i didn't see the log in the upstart folder, so I figured i did it wrong

                                        @dieharddan I think the order matters here. Not familiar with ofonod, but it looks like the help page suggests that the -P is for noplugin, followed by a list of plugins not to use. So reading through here, provision,udev... and the others need to follow -P directly. I'd edit it to reflect this instead:

                                        exec ofonod -P provision,udev*,dun*,smart*,hfp_bluez5,stktest,sap - n - d

                                        I was able to get the log... now I'm trying to get it off my Pixel 😆

                                            hah, yeah I am having a rough time of it. Default SSH config isn't working, trying to sort that so I can use SCP, if I try to email the file or copy over from the /home/phablet/ folders, it seems to think the files empty, even though when I look at it in nano it's not.

                                              @fredldotme hey, I was able to get the ofono.log (I also have the SMS issue, but airplane mode on/off doesn't resolve)

                                              I'm not sure about pastebining this whole thing, is there anything in particular you're looking for, or a section I can parse out? It looks like there is a lot of identifying information, and I don't want to just slap it all in a public pastebin.
