24.04-2.x how does it work at this point for you ?

[Vlad Nirky]

@Moem
Yes.
The 24.04-2.x release is well on track (in my opinion) and the 26.4-1.x release is already incredibly usable, provided you’re willing to accept the risk that comes with these being development versions, which may (and will) break from time to time to provide feedback to the developers.
If you need 99.99% reliability, it’s prudent to stick with the stable, tried-and-tested versions.
I’d like to take this opportunity to express my admiration for the quality of the work that’s been done.

If someone has tested maybe you can say if it is better now.

you posted this while I was laboriously using the OSK in intouch to say that no, it's not.

Is exPhone (call blocker) working yet ?
What's about webapps already installed (webber webapps) ? working yet ?

[Vlad Nirky]

@domubpkm
Both are working but still with the old morph support. The QT6 support is coming.
Ambot (and the corner and notch are not working).
I don't use Webber much anymore because native apps like Greenline or Disports work better (in my opinion)

@Moem How to get Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 ?

[domubpkm]

@Linus67 only using UT installer at this point

[Linus67]

Okay, I've now switched from 1.3 rc to the daily channel. (Pixel 3a)
Version 507
cat /etc/os-release
returns:
Version= "24.04.4 LTS (Noble Numbat)"

My first impressions are all positive.

[lsitongia]

It doesn't work for me. I haven't been able to install it on my Pixel 3a or Oneplus N10. Both fail the automatic update that occurs after the install when using the installer. Both run out of disk space. 1.x installs fine.

err, why fiddling with an Usb cable and a quirky software when having a script launching system-image-cli is a lot faster and easier ?

[domubpkm]

@gpatel-fr I'm talking about flashing os easily, non-technical user friendly. The aim of UT installer.

I think I understand now why for some phones the root partition is larger than needed. I had noticed this on my Fairphone 5.

if system_a was used 100% when using stable, installation of 24.04-2 would fail.

that's a goal yes. You'll see in this thread that is not always effective on the ground. Convoluted indeed.
