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

@HendriXXX I have just watched your Development Environment Installation video. Awesome! That must have taken a huge effort to co-ordinate all the various video components. You are clearly also an experienced software developer. Many thanks for your contribution to the life of Ubuntu Touch.

Thank you. I will do that.

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!

@myii Thank You for the hint! The phone was "clean" (resetted to factory settings) when I flashed it so there was nothing but the android-system on it - but I think I´ll rather reinstall and choose wipe-option this time...

@mohsen Glad your sorted

@jack_mawang hi, just in case you don't know it: if you click on those 3 dots on the right hand side of your posts, you can edit them (among other options)

Thanks, y'all! @Marathon2422 I listened to some of the podcast 28 and I know that 16 is not totally ready but using it I think it definantly seems close. @advocatux Thanks! That solved the problem! Still has very few apps now but like Marathon2422 said, their may be restocking the store with apps for 16.04. I know 15.04 is supposed to be more stable but this seems alright and I do want to submit error reports to help since this is stable enough for me to use as a daily phone. A lot of the problems I remember from last year or the year before are gone in this update I have installed now. Thanks for putting a link too. And I now use UTmedia since that works, but I wish I could use the File Manager to open the videos since that isn't suggested my UTmedia and the File-Manager doesn't list UTmedia as a was to open the video files. Oh well, it works alright for now. Thanks again!

Updating with ubports installer coming from lineage worked seamlessly on my nexus 4. (The automatic device detection was a bit tricky, but i think this hasn't to do anything with lineage.)

@lakota Thanks.

@bluexxx there's a workaround: play videos using UTmedia app (https://open-store.io/app/utmedia.nfsprodriver)

@altr0n Looking at this: https://github.com/ubports/android_kernel_lge_hammerhead/blob/ubp-5.1/arch/arm/configs/cyanogenmod_hammerhead_defconfig#L1491 bcmdhd is being built as a module. Can you confirm that it is being built? Maybe it's just not being installed. How exactly did you "craft" the boot image?

@vadrian89 Not to worry. Thanks for taking the time to look and reply...and for keeping the thread alive. Maybe someone out there who knows GO will be willing to have a look. Textsecure is a great messaging app and it would be an asset to have it available and working for the Ubuntu phone.

Yes, I've been reading some code, need some time. I hope I could help. date/time is at default value (year 1970) on every boot.(if offline). https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/5 (fixed ?) battery meter shows half of actual charge, (50% = 100%, 40% = 80%, etc). https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/6 strange display issue: only wake up if power button is pressed 3 times. https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/65 can't play any videos using media player. https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/7
