I was able to install Ubuntu Touch on Aquaris M10 HD with pre-installed Android 8.1.0. I am not experienced in flashing mobile devices therefore some things shown in the video were unclear for me but still very useful. I don't know what was important so I'm posting these steps combined from the video and official instructions that were lucky for me. If there is something wrong with it, please, correct me. Hope that it will help other unexperienced users in the future. Start pre-installed Android 8.1.0 on the tablet (hold "Power" button) and enable developer mode and USB debugging there. Power off the device by holding "Power" button. Start the tablet by holding "Power" button and "Volume Up" button to select device's boot mode. Choose "Fastboot mode" by "Volume Up" button and then press "Volume Down". Device doesn't reboot automatically. Power off the device by holding "Power" button for a few seconds and then start it again by "Power" + "Volume Up" buttons and select "Recovery Mode". In recovery menu select "Reboot to bootloader" item using "Volume Up"/"Volume Down" buttons and press "Power" button. => FASTBOOT mode... text will be shown at the left bottom corner of the blank screen. I guess it's time to flash the firmware, but it was unclear from the video whether I should power off the device or not. So according to these instructions I decided to power off the device (hold "Power" button for a few seconds). Download recent version of Smartphone Flash Tool and extract it's files from the archive. I used version 5.1916 for Linux 64-bit. To be exact, I'm on Kubuntu 18.04.1. Install missing library for SP Flash Tool: $ wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \ && sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \ && rm /tmp/libpng12.deb Go to directory with SP Flash Tool and make it executable: $ cd ~/Downloads/ubports/SP_Flash_Tool-5.1916_Linux $ chmod +x ./flash_tool.sh Start SP Flash Tool with root privileges: $ sudo ./flash_tool.sh Download old Canonical UT image called cooler for M10 HD, unpack it and select Android_scatter.txt file from there in SP Flash Tool ("Download" tab => "Scatter-loading File"). Choose "Firmware Upgrade" from dropdown list. Press "Download" button at the top left corner of "Download" tab. Connect powered-off tablet to USB 2.0 port of the computer. "Magic happens" — old UT image will be downloaded into device and installed. I saw BQ logo with "Powered by Ubuntu" label at the end but unfortunatelly further UT loading was stuck. Nothing happened for a long time. Download recent version of UBports Installer. It was deb of version 0.4.5-beta for me. Start UBports with root privileges: $ sudo ubports-installer and follow it's instructions. When I ran "Reboot to bootloader" and saw => FASTBOOT mode like it was in 6, I didn't power off the tablet before connecting to computer. Everything was fine, I got rotating Ubuntu logo on the screen first, and working fresh Ubuntu Touch image three minutes later.

@andybleaden i mentioned it out of the top of my head and it is untrusted not unauthorized. Just checked it.

@Flohack I suppose this makes it much easier to comprehend as it is in reality like a small pc. Booting (as if you had hit F12 etc) straight to bootable image like we used to do with pen drives, DVD, CDs and yes...floppies

Really helpful and clear thanks @lduboeuf

@utouchuser FLuffyChat and Matrix is also without complex registration and e-mail related account.

@makeixo said in PinePhone: I have thought that you can boot a system from the SD Card as well. Yes, you can boot the PinePhone from an SD card. But SD cards are typically slower, and less reliable, than internal storage.

will test and report, thanks works like charm, thansk you!

@alextcranglesim No not yet have an issue charging. Should test later today.

@fredldotme Thx! Looking forward to use this as my n5 replacement.

Hi arubislander, Thank you for your reply. I did find requests on Github about the sorting possibilities on the name. I followed your advice and joined the ongoing requests => https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app/issues/12#issuecomment-552354416 It would be a great pleasure to help of implementing the features but I have not the skills to do it, unfortunately. About my remark about the impossibility of exporting the address book, I just discovered that it is actually possible. I apologize for the mistake.

Alright, it's new version time...as always, check the CHANGELOG on my Gitlab for details. 1.6.5 (2019-11-11) - Implemented dark mode. Users can also choose to automatically switch between normal and dark mode based on time of day . Also added a night light option to make it a little easier to read at night. UI improvements to the Settings page, including the ability to check if your Nextcloud server is online from within Settings. Improvements in font rendering and readability.

@kalle-kruse said in CardDav (contacts) support: @mardy Thanks for the reply. I am using an Owncloud server in my home network and got syncevolution on my ubuntuphone working as described in this blog post: http://notyetthere.org/syncing-ubuntu-touch-with-owncloud-or-any-carddav-server/ I also got syncevolution working, previously with Owncloud, currently with Synology's built-in carddav and caldav server. This is not user-friendly, because i had to manually type all syncevolution configuration codes via Terminal on my ub phone :s Adding generic caldav accounts is fixed in Calendar app now, but adding generic carddav accounts would be great I can help with translations. Testing is possible, but it's also my daily driver, so it mustn't break anything serious..

On Ubuntu it is smooth.

@MarkG_108 you created the app correctly. After the talk clickable got updated and that template got better feedback. So: congratulations!

@makeixo the most noticeable camera problems are that video straight up does not work. Selfie camera only seems to notice very bright light (everything else is completely blacked out)and does not work properly at all. And I'm not sure if this is an ubuntu touch issue or device issue but the camera always seems to take the photo as if you are in landscape mode. Update:rebooted and the selfie camera seems fine now... don't know what was up. But also always taken as if in landscape.

well i may have to give this a shot
