@MrT10001 Thanks! That is great news!
./fastboot -w (It will error here, ignore).That error should go away when you
cdinto the directory with the stock rom files first. -
@k.nacke I will try that next time as I have acquired another one. Can I add the above to the readme on your Gitlab so any one else who is interested can follow it? (I tried but it forks, so I left it and thought I had better ask). Great work on this one. I am playing with scaling as it was scaled at 16 and I thought that was scrambling text, but even at 12 some text is missing (using the Tweak tool).
-
@MrT10001 I added you as developer to the repository. Feel free to change the readme.
-
@k.nacke Readme updated and awaiting merge.

@k.nacke I am playing with scaling as it was scaled at 16 and I thought that was scrambling text, but even at 12 some text is missing (using the Tweak tool).
This is one area for which I really need feedback. This is not only my first port, it is the first time I see Ubuntu Touch on a real device.
E.g. the icons may be too large.... -
@k.nacke I also had a scaling issue and set it to 12.
The nursing chargers were fixed by reviewing. I have not had that issue since.
-
@k.nacke It seems ok after a reboot.
-
Missing characters
-
This works on Lenovo tab M8 TB-8505X 2/32 only issue was only in fastboot it said no more system flash size more than 3gb so i used mtkclient and now it works perfectly
-
My imei wont show, missing characters and partial display support(when yall spam ubuntu button you can see black lines)
-
@itsjusthim Thanks for trying.
The kernel misses the telephony support, which causes the imei not showing up. I only own the F model, so I cannot help with this. (n case you would like to try yourself, replace akita_row_wifi with akita_row_call in the deviceinfo file, and in all overlay files, and build the all img files. This will enable the missing kernel support, but more might be missing.)
I am still working on the grahics issues. -
@k.nacke Just installed UT.
The issue with this is that waydroid, just doesnt work. I got it to setup, but It spams about sensor not found. I left it for a good 30 minutes, but, it could not recover from that.
apart from that, the only other issue I could see is that the back camera is very cloudy and any photos is barely understandable.
Apart from that, the UT itself is great and working minus the videos which you addressed.
I am open for more testing, please feel free to push a development update. thanks a lot though. -
K Keneda moved this topic from Lenovo

@k.nacke ok i mmight try i was busy these days but if i find out how to do this i will try thanks
-
Hi @k.nacke . Just tested waydroid and it does not seem to work. I am using the latest build on GitLab.
Runningwaydoid logcomplains something about not finding device sensors. Waydroid is just stuck at the LineageOS Boot Screen. I left it for approx. 4 hours to boot but it did not work. Can someone please help me?
-
@CaptainTalon Thanks for trying. What did you do with waydroid? I could install it, and it started it (takes an eternity to come up though), but I only tried the web browser. I think the biggest problem is the limited memory of the device.
-
@k.nacke That will be the reason. 2Gb and less is not enough to run the system and Waydroid on any UT device.
-
@k.nacke I created a 1GB swapfile but Waydroid still did not work. I also installed Waydroid using Waydroid Helper. Will try to make a bigger swapfile. (approx. 4GB) Hopefully it works.
-
complains something about not finding device sensors.
I'll check as soon as I get my next kernel change working.
-
@k.nacke Ok will be waiting
Edit: Also there is no directory called binderfs in /dev which is needed for waydroid to work -
I just installed this and it works great except I have a crackling sound from the speakers and headphones when I'm listening to anything. The speakers were fine with android.
