        I think/hope that when FP5 Ubuntu Touch is ready for users, there will be an announcement.

          I think/hope too, that when FP5 Ubuntu Touch is ready for users, there will be an announcement.

          My phones:

          • Xiami Redmi 7 & Softmaker Office & SCRPI & NextCloudPi for office applications

          • Pinephone PMOS & PP keyboard only for evaluation purposes

          • Raspberry Pi zero 2 w & Raspberry Pi OS & LibreOffice for evaluation & future developments (I plan to switch to DietPi)

          • I currently hate all of my devices.

          • FP5 Ubuntu Touch planned as a privacy phone & Raspberry Pi screen.

            Yeah I'm sure there will be an announcement and/or will be talked about in a Q&A. Also, I don't think the installer has to be updated since the list and device config are dynamically retrieved from a server.

              Ah, perfect. This is what I wanted to know. I suppose I'll just continue to impatiently wait and open the installer every day to check lol

                      @x2u There might be something within the month. Stay tuned.

                        thanks mr.

                        Do you mean that Ubuntu Touch will be released this month?

                          Suposedly the person working on it had some health situation come up so it's been a lesser priority versus getting better.

                          I hope they are better. I don't know much about it to give further detail, nor is it my business.

                          Certainly explains the lack of recent news regarding the build.

                            From the Newsletter Sept 27th:

                            Hello again and welcome to the latest newsletter,

                            All things FP5 have moved along a lot recently with quite a few things fixed and working. These include the following

                            fixed vgrid units
                            adb, mtp and usb
                            Modem is up
                            Sound and video decoding works
                            vibrationaidl added to hfd-service
                            flashlight
                            auto brightness
                            mobile data and calls
                            GPS

                            Many of the parts for voLTE have also no been merged but have not yet reached our devel update channel yet.

                            Work is being finished to make the FairPhone 5 available on the installer and as we know many of you are looking forward to this port we will let you know as soon as it is available.

                            We intend to show the FairPhone 5 at the up coming Ubuntu Summit in the Hague so if you are there please come and look us up to find out more.

                            I am excited!

                            Also "and as we know many of you are looking forward to this port we will let you know as soon as it is available" 😄 . Meaning this forum topic has received a good amount of attention in the UT space 😄 . 4.3K Views is a lot lol.

                                              So the FP5 is now on the installer so please give it a try but remember this is still a work in progress. These things are working or should be though some things are just being pushed now.

                                              fixed vgrid units
                                              adb, mtp and usb
                                              Modem is up
                                              Sound and video decoding works
                                              vibrationaidl added to hfd-service
                                              flashlight
                                              auto brightness
                                              mobile data and calls
                                              fingerprint
                                              GPS

                                              Please note mobile data has broken but is being fixed. Calls and text should work. Work on the recovery is also currently underway by @mariogrip and @TheVancedGamer. More updates as and when we get them.
