Ubuntu Touch - UT Tutorial - Installation Guide for Poco X3 Pro - vayu and Help channel

[davidfr]

Hi !
Is it the good category for this topic ?

Some people like me test UBT on X3 Pro (vayu), a port exist, but not maintained (as I know) so not visible anywhere.
It works well, I test it. It miss some stuff, but have lot that works. I think far as X3 NFC.

If anyone could take time to make inventory, like for X3 NFC.

We have a global Telegram channel for X3 Pro : https://t.me/LinuxForPocoX3Pro and for installing UB T : UBports Welcome & Install help and local UBPorts channel (FR, ES, RU ...)

How to install UB T - Ubuntu Touch - UBPorts on a Poco X3 Pro - Vayu

• Unlock bootloader
• Install TWRP or OrangeFox
• Install a global MIUI 12.5.9 with Android 11 (to be sure all is ok)
• Download Artefact on github : devel-flasable-focal (to see the last version is here
• Extract the zip
• Download the vendor from Droidian vayu (it is the Sailfish one, and I don't find it on UBT) It is the MIUI with some fix for Linux on phone.
• Extract the zip
• Reboot your phone in recovery
• Reboot in fastboot from recovery so it is fastbootd (Android fastboot, don't works)
• From the Ubuntu zip : Upload with fastboot on phone ubuntu.img as system and boot.img as boot-
• From the Droidian zip : Upload with fastboot on phone vendor.img as vendor, dtbo.img as dtbo, vbmeta.img as vbmeta
• on TWRP format data to remove encryption, and put ubuntu.img in data folder (/data).
  With MTP on TWRP for example (you copy it from you computer and you could find in /data/media. (It could need a reboot to recovery, after a format to see the media folder)
  Or with ADB : adb push ubuntu.img /data/
• Reboot phone
• Enjoy !

The mic sound seem to be lower than Droidian, so a fix could be taken on Droidian.
