Is there a phone which runs Ubuntu Touch which can write to the exernal SD card or boot from there?
-
The Pinephone can do this, for instance with PostmarketOS. I was also able to install PostmarketOS on the external SD card of the Pinephone and boot it from there. But I am looking for an alternative. Who wants to depend on a single (Pine 64) manufacturer?
So I am asking:
-
Is there a phone which runst Ubuntu Touch which can write to the external SD card?
-
Is there a phone which among the here supported devices which can boot Ubuntu Touch from the external SD card?

Can the Voila Phone boot from an external SD card? I m looking for a solution to stick the card on a card reader into a PC for data exchange.

Can the Voila phone write to the external SD card with apps installed on the internal SD card?

Volla OS is the manager of the dual boot. Volla on internal memory. And Ubuntu Touch on external card. You can have disc space over on the card, using it for files. Either between the systems, but also PC if you want. But easier with just USB. Meaning no special set up from PC. But installed from Volla OS.
It wont be a live disc or anything. Have a look at Volla. Nothing is managed via PC.

@Rinkeby Thanks for the answer,
I am currently struggeling to solve a problem on my Pinephone. I have installed postmarketOS on it and Abiword. But Abiword cannot write to the external SD card. I want to store and edit Abiword files on the external SD card to be able to pull out the SD card from the phone an stick it into my Ubuntu PC:
I am almost there to do this on my Pinephone, exept that I have not yet the permission to write Abword files on my Ubuntu PC to the SD card with postmarketOS:
My question is, can I do this with the Voila phone as well? Install Abiword on the external SD card, pull the SD card from the phone, stick it into a Ubuntu PC, to furhter process Abiword files there?
