@MrT10001 Thanks, I updated it successfully. My problem with flashing UT was due to another problem actually, I didn't repartition the phone correctly (after a LineageOS installation), but now it's okay.

@mrt10001 Thanks. E/OS is my back up plan for when UT no longer works on the Nexus 5.

@lxj Also the filesystem is readonly for many reasons. You should try and read the forum to learn more about Ubuntu Touch. Have you checked the FAQ: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6838/frequently-asked-questions

@keneda There were two of them in there and I tried them both. Then I decided to uninstall both of them I try them out one at a time. I quickly got it working after it failed the first time. It kinda seems slow to me, at the moment but I'll keep trying them out. Thanks Keneda

Yes , I don't think self-certified instances are supported. You can use http though obviously it's not a good idea in general

Reporting back in case anyone else can benefit later...I got visual voicemail turned-off @ the carrier and this solved it! I DO get a notification when there's a voicemail awaiting and it goes away upon checking/clearing the VM box, but I no longer get the extra text messages. Mission accomplished - thanks @applee and @rocket2nfinity!

@yelpare3 If your Nexus 5 Wi-Fi connection is not stable or won't connect at all, there's a few things you can do: toggle Airplane Mode on and off, forget and reconnect to your Wi-Fi network, toggle mobile data on and off, or reboot your phone.

@Capsia ooooh I see. It was as simple as that. lol It works when I swipe left on the file.

@cliffcoggin Finally I am happy without the GPS. No one can track me, and I still have my old GPS for driving. lol

FYI for those that are having the same issue with 'not enough free space', see this post.

@Lakotaubp thanks!

@ernest Many thanks for your help! Sorry, I should have searched for a hardware issue before posting here.

@HendriXXX Thanks, your video helped a lot!

@captainmorgan It would definitely have to be part of the OS.

To add, I tried to install the stock image from Android -- specifically 6.0.1 (M4B30Z, Dec 2016), found here, which gave some errors and failed to fully install (though it did change the look of the bootloader.) I still was stuck with the UBports Recovery program. So, I looked around and found the TWRP recovery program for hammerhead (Nexus 5 codename) and successfully installed that. I used it to wipe and format the drive, since all my previous attempts at installations (of either Ubuntu Touch or Android or LineageOS) failed. Then, I tried once again to install LineageOS, by transferring the file to the phone (see code below) and then using TWRP to install it. This worked. mark@debian:~/Downloads/Nexus5/LineageOS$ adb push lineage-14.1-20190301-UNOFFICIAL-hammerhead.zip /sdcard/. lineage-14.1-20190301-UNOFFICIAL-hamme... 4.4 MB/s (329881284 bytes in 71.197s) I must say that the UBports recovery program needs improvement. It's far inferior to the TWRP recovery program. Anyway, my issue is solved. I can now reinstall Ubuntu Touch. [edit] I did reinstall it. So, I'm good to go.

@Ingo same as you on Nexus 5.

Really pleased to hear that, @CampOwl!
