@tekisui said in Have to initiate manufature of mobile phones or smartphones:

I read something about a "dosbox" to run gluugle play apps on ubuntu touch ?

Assuming you mean Google:
You may be thinking of Anbox. But that is old and no longer maintained. The better option, for those devices that can support it, is called Waydroid.

But how that relates to the subject of this thread is unclear to me. And I think you asked this already. Were those answers not what you were looking for?

@supervisor @Moem m is right I have never tried to make a port it's not easy have a look here https://t.me/UTFAQ/5 and https://t.me/UTFAQ/6
In fact the whole Frequently Asked Questions section is very informative for all sorts of info.

@keneda Cheers. 👍 🙂

@rvan Now I understand. The "warning" is only alerting or reminding you that it needs your permission to access parts of your phone in order to do its job. It is nothing to be concerned about, so go ahead and install it.

@joão-fornaza With Xiaomi you have to use a Windows PC and use the Mi Flash tool to flash back to stock ROM.

Word of warning with Xiaomi, DO NOT LOCK the bootloader once it is unlocked. You have a great chance of bricking the device.

@applee Okay, thank you.😁

Hi and welcome @jukhamil
Ubuntu Touch is not the only alternative OS out there but one we love and promote here.

About your device, I'm not sure it is currently supported.
You can head to https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ to see a list of supported devices and their progress.

If you want to get your hands dirty, you can try and port for your device.
These links are a good starting point:

@kaveman You need to use installer 0.8.6 (there is an issue with .7) or earlier and it's best to have 15 sec adb from xda developers on your windows pc. Please remove all others first. The OPO needs dev mode on, usb debugging on, mtp trabsfer and an unlocked bootloader ( the installer may do this ifnot instructions are on the net) and you need to accept the fastboot/adb connection on your phone ( there will be a popup window on the phone). Then just follow the installer instructions. I would chose the wipe and bootstrap options when given.
You are best flashing from the original device OS so the partitions are not altered. Try a few cables as they can be a big issue and good luck. It's late forme so I will be back tomorrow. If you need help tonight try here https://t.me/WelcomePlus though it is latefor many and the weekend.

@applee There is this - https://github.com/ubports/utqemu. Didn't work for me on Ubuntu 18.04 though.

@ganzredmi4 Hi, same xiaomi 4X, just installed today. Had a first unsuccessful attempt with the same description of events as you. At the secound and successful attempt, i simply waited, quite long, for the device to finalize its complet setup.
I msy have waited for more than ten minutes. And yes, it tells you that it is going to reboot, after all the completion of the process. Be well, peace

@Lakotaubp Okay. I solved the problem now.

@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.

@Lakotaubp said in UT on Nexus 5: File System Stuck As Read Only?:

That [version of uTouch available here on RC channel] will be the new [OTA13] stable channel [version] anyway soon.

Just to clarify ^^
RC remains RC, and when OTA13 is out, jump back to stable channel.

I had the issue of the sd card not mounting at all on my Poco F1. This has helped me. You can try it out. https://askubuntu.com/questions/95391/how-do-i-mount-an-sd-card

@HendriXXX Thanks, your video helped a lot!

@tartanspartan - I've only tested to 128GB, and that worked well. Will have to try larger sizes, but need to order some in.

Best regards,

@cembra hi, I've moved this thread to Off topic.

As that model is not in the supported devices list (https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/) you'd need to port it (http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html).

Someone started this https://github.com/Halium/projectmanagement/issues/115 so maybe you can help them.
