Hi, does anyone use the ISODrive app on a "Focal" device and does it work ? Thanks and greetings
-
@tuXut yes, I use it on my Pixel 3a running Focal. It works without issue.
-
@arubislander Thanks for the info
-
It does not for me fp3 focal. That is a shame since i used it a lot in the past years.

@RedXXIII
Thanks for the info.
For me, on Volla X it no longer runs since the update to Focal, I also used it a lot and liked it... -
@tuXut Have you tried reinstalling the app since you updated to focal?
-
@arubislander
Thank you. Yes, I deleted the app with the UT-Tweak Tool and installed it fresh...I then installed the phone fresh with the installer ( rc & devel ) and installed the app again, same result... I now have a USB stick with me

Tried
ISODriveon channel24.04/dailyon a Fairphone 4. The app didn't work.This would be one of those apps that would be truly awesome to get to work on 24.04 (noble).
A Lenovo computer didn't recognize Ubuntu 24.04 ISO, not Ubuntu 25.10 ISO, as an USB image. Nothing showed up in the boot menu. USB-stick with ISO worked though.
It would be great if Openstore flagged it as maybe not working on some devices running 20.04 and 24.04.

@mango ISODrive is awesome but it's a bit finicky to use. You'll have yo mount the ISO when it gets powered by the machine so this means after you pressed the power button on your PC. You can also try the boot from USB function from Windows if you have it.
I tried this on mine and it worked once I remembered how to make it work

Wonderful! Got it working on Fairphone 4 channel
24.04/daily. On some computers it was neccesary to wait up to five seconds before mounting the ISO with ISODrive. Then quickly press some key combination like Fn + F12 to enter boot menu. On others it went almost immediately.The delay between pressing the power-ON-button on the computer and mounting the ISO seems to be sensitive and has to be timed correctly. This should be written on Openstore I guess together with
works on Fairphone 4so that newbies get a chance to know.Maybe the app could be modified with
if usbPowerDetected; then remountISOWithDelay2seconds; fi. In that way the app would work anyway. Would it be feasible?I guess I found the number one reason to give Ubuntu Touch a go. Thank you for the information on how to get it to work!
