@lakotaubp Well, I am now in the interesting position of having the Ubuntu Touch boot screen and OPO's Android OS! Lol... it's been an education to end up with the exact opposite of what I was originally trying to achieve
It's a pity UBTouch can't be loaded by TWRP. I will try UBPorts installer again, probably not tonight. i believe my cable is ok... in my recent reading i came across there being an issue with Linux and UBPorts installer tho i didn't investigate further at that point as that wasn't my immediate problem then.
-
@alan-adale The installer will work fine with Linux Why would it not? The main issue will be to clear and format to ext4 cache and data.

I had a cable that I believed to be OK. But in my case, it helped to use a different one.

Would it be possible to include the appropriate splash screen in an OTA update for each device?
I guess that a UBports splash screen could be considered to be a major free publicity for UBports/UT and a welcome starter for each and every UT user.

@lakotaubp Finally! Success! I thank you for your encouraging comments as I stumbled on thru the fog on this frustrating experience, caused by my lack of understanding assuredly. I think my error was in not understanding that when it rebooted, during the early part of the install process, that the Android Recovery page with its Ubuntu Action and Android Action was the target and I should have left it alone at that point! What a long strange trip it has been! I hope the powers that be decide to incorporate it going forward as it is good advertising as 3T_Ed noted.

@3t_ed Yes!

@alan-adale Concratulations wellndone on sticking with it and you have learnt a lot too. AS for the inclusion in the installer that has been covered in either a Q&A or on here but I can't remember whta was said but think the install process meant it could not be installed on all devices at start up. It is on some devices but not all.

Are you in the habit of showing your screen to people while the phone is booting? I don't think I have ever done that...
@alan-adale Good job, happy to hear you made it back to UT!

@moem
No I do not show it. If a UBport splash screen was there on boot I would and I can imagine people who have just switched from other platforms would too. -
@lakotaubp I was aware that the issue had been addressed in other posts...i was merely adding an "amen"
