@stevetheobscure Tips: Follow this and be patient, very patient... First off, run it through the installer and install Xenial or Focal. If it boots into the OS, great, don't power off and leave it charged. If it hangs though, at the Lenovo splash screen, this is the patient part....Follow these steps.... Power off. Boot to recovery In recovery Format data and cache, Mount the system and reboot to recovery. In recovery now mount the system and reboot to recovery - do this at least eight times on the final time reboot to the bootloader. Connect to the PC and with command prompt open run fastboot continue, leave it for 20 seconds, if no boot, power off and boot to fastboot and repeat this step four times. Still no boot after step 5, boot to fastboot and run the command fastboot reboot. Do this at least four times, but by now, it should boot. if the above steps fail, leave it for an hour and repeat. It took a while for me to work this out, but it has worked every time on these tablets, I was just very patient.

I’ve been using Ubuntu Touch for four months. So I have no experience of older versions prior to 24.04. The frequently cited arguments that “users were unsettled by these or those changes” therefore don’t apply to me. My conclusion: Getting started with Ubuntu Touch was a bit bumpy, but I now really appreciate how it works. What I appreciate most is the app chain on the left-hand side. This efficient, unique selling point should definitely not be tampered with. Switching between apps is also brilliant. I don’t miss a home screen, desktop, etc. at all. Least of all do I feel the need for the interface to resemble that of Android or iPhone. I might have one wish: a multi-page app drawer (vertical or horizontal) or some other way of grouping apps rather than simply sorting them by name. Perhaps with horizontal dividers or spacing.

@hunter_tor To get the 3T working with UT, it is Xenial only (16.04), you have to ensure the data partition is EXT4. Use the installer version 0.10.0. Download this version of TWRP and boot it from fastboot - use the command: fastboot boot (location of your TWRP file) Once in TWRP format date to EXT4, then wipe SYSTEM, CACHE and the others . Reboot to the bootloader and do the same again, but it is not necessary to wipe the system etc, just format the DATA again to EXT4. Reboot to the bootloader and fire up the UT installer and connect the device and manually select it from the drop down box. Leave the "wipe data" box unticked and follow the instructions on the installer. Let it do it's thing. Once it is at the screen in your image, leave the device, it can take up to 15 minutes to install. The OP3 and 3T are very similar, TWRP for 3 and 3T is the same. Ensure you are on OxygenOS (9.0.6) before starting the UT install. The two main points of a failed install I have found for the device is using the latest UT installer, use 0.10.0 instead and the incorrect formatting of the data partition to EXT4. Also as @moem pointed out, the OP3T is old and Xenial is now unsupported... (It still works though).

Hi @Thomasb98, There is a documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction/ Hope it helps... It seems feasible because this device is supported by lineageos and kernel source code is available: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/PL2/ Do you have the version with 4 GB of RAM or the one with 3 GB?

@arubislander said: this is probably the left-overs of some app that shared status info to the greeter infographic Possibly the Lock Message app?

@hlbkv said: Failed to write reboot parameter file: Permission denied yes that's also a side-effect of installing Ubuntu Touch for my phone. I can work around it by running adb shell then sudo reboot bootloader

@thomasf Check this topic.

Thanks @tusch001 this was very helpful and worked on the stable Focal channel with Snapz0r installed. I would recommend one change: the sed command should read- sudo snap run libinput.list-devices | sed -n '/himax-stylus/,+20p' instead of: sudo snap run libinput.list-devices | sed -n '/himax-stylus,+20p' A few practical questions for you or anyone else: What kind of daily battery life are you seeing for the stylus, over how many hours of use? Do we know if it's compatible with other UT devices? In Libertine, is there a convenient way to anchor the stylus' nib to things like scroll bars? I've been trying to scroll up/down on VS Code but it's quite cumbersome and feels like I have to press it multiple times then do a small flick to get it to scroll by a little bit every time. Kind of much like using my finger (it's just that the nib is so much more small and thus more of a precision instrument compared to anyone's finger!). Unfortunately I need to figure out how to get my Volla Keyboard accessory working again and thus I don't have access to its touchpad and a mouse cursor (I've been using a bluetooth keyboard instead), so this would be a great workaround for the time being if it's possible. On an OS level: Hopefully someone can formally implement this into an OTA upgrade for the tablet on Noble and potentially even a maintenance release on Focal? The code changes look straightforward if they're just about changing the udev rules and such. I have been working on contributing to app development on and off but as a) the tablet is a bit of a daily driver for me and I like to keep it on the stable channel and b) contributing to OS patches is something I'm not really familiar or comfortable with, it would be excellent to see this happen if someone else can help out.

@sm-xcx Hey xcx, how far are we with this project? what is still requirered to finish this project?

Hello all, It has been decided to postpone the new contact backend to 26.04.x to avoid slowing down the overall roadmap. We will try to move also at that time to the new calendar backend.. 2 major internal changes in a row. I keep you informed.

@Linus67 Thanks very much. Will try it out…

I wouldn't use a META product if there were alternatives. But there are a lot of people who are very resistant to change. There are groups for their kids' school activities: soccer, tennis, music, and so on. If you use Ubuntu Touch every day, a lightweight QML app like Greenline is perfect. You can check WhatsApp messages when needed. In an emergency, you can send a message like, “I'll be 10 minutes late.” Personally, I prefer a WhatsApp alternative that is fast and stable, uses few resources, and adapts well to changes in WhatsApp’s data structure—such as the Go library, whatsmeow, protobuf structures, and WebSocket conditions on the servers. I don’t need features like video or forms. If someone wants all of WhatsApp’s features (including META AI) on Ubuntu Touch, then they have the wrong device. Keep Greenline lean, efficient, and adaptable to changes at Meta for a long life on Ubuntu Touch. Many people and groups still need some time before they’re ready to switch to alternatives.

@gpatel-fr That´s perfect! Thank you very much for solving this stubborn problem. Now I can put the Pixel 3a into ‘Nokia 3210 mode’ with a single click.

@developerbayman Thanks! It is now available on the openstore, so I hope people will enjoy it!

@egregiousecan There's some bug that causes random bootloop, forcing shutdown by holding all phone buttons simultaneously helps. I was also not able to boot into Ut 24.04 after upgrading from 20.04, I had to reflash the device with Android to do that.
