Hi @flohack
I am using my N6P as a media device with UT(all the cores is still working), I have moved to Pixel 3A as my daily driver. It was a great device but I am not interrested in buying a new battery when it will not be moved to focal and I guess that I was the last one using it as a daily driver.

@rondarius @Flohack Is that true? I was waiting to see if Focal was coming to N6P

Hi @rocket2nfinity
I guess that makes it 2 who used it as a daily driver
I suspects that @Flohack have to many devices to maintaine, maybe it gets ported one day when he has nothing else to do
Couldn't we have som download statistics on the device page? Showing how many downloads each ported device have since they was added to the ubports installer. I know this wouldn't be fair for those devices that hasn't made it to the installer yet. But none the less it would be interesting to see some numbers showing how active this project is.

How did you fix this? Mine won't install past the recovery screen like in your first post.

-Unlock bootloader
-Install Android 7.1.2
-Enable Developer mode
-Enable USB Debugging
-Install TWRP recovery
-Boot TWRP and delete ALL partitions
-Boot to bootloader
-Run UBPort installer
-Get stuck on Ubuntu recovery screen forever.

I repeated this multiple times, doesn't work.
What gives?

-Boot TWRP and delete ALL partitions

Is this a required step based on the instructions? If so, what instructions are you following?

As far as I know the UBports installer does not create partitions, it expects them to be laid out in the correct way as in the stock install.

I found it on other posts regarding the installer not working correctly. I also tried this without wiping partitions and the result is always the same. It runs the script, boots to UT recovery, and does nothing forever. Cannot figure out why. Seems to be a common issue as there are tons of threads about the exact same issue on the same phone.
