Thanks for a quick reply! I think I have not seen any options for bootstrapping or wiping data. Lots of warnings for data to be wiped both when reinstalling android and while trying to install ubuntu; Is it during the downgrading of android or while upgrading to Ubuntu that I should watch out for warious wiping options? Thanks R

@Satanas1275 While we are all for seeing more and all kinds of Linux on phones, soliciting help on a Postmarket OS port is very much off topic for this forum, wouldn't you agree?

im a little shocked im not getting any feedback from this ....yet?

@TermuxnTR "I'm at the Plymouth boot screen (Ubuntu Touch logo with 5 dots), but the device reboots after that. Kernel and initrd are working fine, but the Android LXC container seems to fail to start."

@pparent copy that. thanks!

@gpatel-fr So far it seems that reliably I will get a ring when calling somebody from the same network as me. From Lucky Mobile, in Canada, it rings when I call someone using Lucky Mobile or Virgin Mobile, both of which are MVNOs on the Bell Network. I don't think I'm hearing any rings when not doing that. Calling 1-800 numbers yielded mixed results, but consistently it would ring or not ring for a given number.

@jojumaxx I figured that was the case! I've also edited the topic title, for better searchability.

@jojumaxx im so glad you suggested this this is the direction i think im gonna go

found a fatal bug in the container launch ill have to go over it its my day off when i wake up ill prob fix it actually i forgot to inckude some important files

@tahirmehmood Did you use the standard browser? If so, try the beta version that is in the Open Store. https://open-store.io/app/morph-browser-qt6.ubports

@sahirul not yet, but is planned. For now, qr code only

@Shadowbird2468 It was proven possible, but, due to different processor architectures, running desktop apps on mobile phone would require emulation layer. And, due to most games were made for windows, it requires running it through x86 Wine. And, due to differences in graphics APIs, it also requires using OpenGL to GLES translation where it is present. In fact some progress has been made at this direction. Several emulators exist for Android (and might work in Waydroid as well), there's at least one application related to that in OpenStore, and there's already Steam distribution for ARM in snap store. Don't know about graphics api translation though.

@Leroy_Linux honestly we all just need to stand our ground and in one voice say no

@archie3d It uses the system libsdl2-dev from the ubuntu-sdk-20.04 clickable framework and for that framework the SDL2 package is 2.0.10+dfsg1-3 on Focal/arm64 ...i tend to find even if your building for a newer version of UT you still have to use older packages because there is a break it seems in the versions and packaging being updated? ..idk i do know every time i try to build with newer repos something breaks ....

Thank uou very much for these informations @lduboeuf !! Thomas

@developerbayman We agree on that point. It’s a game-changer for projects carried out in people’s spare time.

@arubislander so on the regular desktop version its a normal ubuntu boot stack then it hands off into the UT rootfs .....still not done ...taking a break on that for sanity rn
