        @CatWithUT So far Marius has this working

        "Boot, screen, touch and sounds works. But having a roadblock where I cannot adb or ssh into the device so really hard to debug right now"

        A telegram group will be setup I will send you the link when available. Donations should just be made using the normal methods. I will sort the links.

              @BlueKenny IIRC, Marius mentioned it in the last Q&A. If there's an installable and working version, I'm sure we'll know it without asking πŸ˜„

              I'm also excited for this and I'm sure it'll be my next phone 😁

                @kugiigi already got mine, looks promising for PostmarketOS as well. Maybe I'll get back into Ubports if it works well.

                  I just checked my E-Mails and found a Uboports Newsletter from February with the following Text:

                  *Fosdem 2024

                  ...

                  Devices on display included a Bq Aquaris 5HD, just to show how far we have come then a OP5, PInePhone, PinePhonePro with keyboard case, PineTab and PineTab2, Volla Phone, Volla X, Volla 22, Volla X23, Fairphone 4 and Fairphone 5.

                  Yes you did read that right the Fairphone 5 was at FOSDEM, and it was running 20.04. Not unsurprisingly it got a lot of attention as you would expect. The port was only finished the day before by Nikita from initial work started by Marius.

                  ...*

                  Very excited! Is there a timeframe in which we can expect a release?

                              Small update about Linux on Fairphone 5:
                              I saw that the UBports installer already supports the Fairphone 5! It offers postmarketOS devbuilds, for those who want to try postmarketOS πŸ˜‰

                              COOL!

                                Wow! Latest ubports newsletter has a hint that VoLTE and 5G may be coming to FP5:

                                "...by way of a sort of happy accident 5g should be available first, and has been tested on FP5 and 4..."

                                Looking good!

                                  @Kamikaze Love to hear that things are looking good for the Fairphone 5, its my current daily driver and I would love to give it a try with UbuntuTouch

                                    Gosh I really want this to release. I'm so excited for it. VoLTE is 100% mandatory for me though, since I'm in the USA which requires VoLTE on literally all carriers for a phone to work at all. Hopefully there is a working beta sooner than later!

                                    Fingers crossed.

                                      @Inali In the Q&As you can see an FP5 almost every time. They probably just want to make sure they have something that works well on the release I can imagine. It seems to be running from what is visible and publicy shown. With a good working release (ideally with Waydroid) the FP5 with UB Touch would easily be a great daily driver and literally the best phone in the line up with official support!

                                          @CatWithUT I hope it works out well.

                                          Honestly I give 0 cares for Waydroid. I doubt I'll even enable it.

                                          I've run horribly unoptimized software releases on numerous devices, I wouldn't be opposed to being a tester for the FP5, regardless if it's an open public release or not. Sadly there seems to be no way to sign up for such a test.

                                            In "Ubuntu Touch Q&A 139" there is a "Fairphone 5" section which states: "Marius has continued work on getting FP5 to a usable state. Nice!

                                            This thread started as a question about the state of things and has now become an information dump about UT and Fairphone 5 πŸ˜‚. Whenever something about this topic comes up somewhere, I will probably hear about it here first. :grinning_cat_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                                              • Yes, bring Ubuntu Touch on the Fairphone 5, I don't trust Google phones anymore, even if Ubuntu Touch runs on it. A privacy phone from Google? Has it really to be a device from Google as our privacy phone?

                                              • No, Fairphone is better. And the Fairphone 5 is my preferred device since it offers a 6.46 screen.

                                              • And I need a privacy smartphone which is not from Google Inc. which I can use as my touch control interface to my Raspberry Pi zero 2 w. And all the model lower than the Fairphone 5 have a screen which is too small for this purpose.

                                              • So to have Ubuntu Touch on the Fairphone 5 his highly desirable for all of these reasons for people who have the same needs as I have: πŸ‘
