      For those that are interested in development of Noble-based Ubuntu Touch, we've now published a new system-image channel devel/arm64/android9plus/daily, available on most devices which has 20.04 devel image [1]. You can switch to it using the following command:

      sudo system-image-cli -v --progress=dots --switch=devel/arm64/android9plus/daily
      

      The channel has actually been existed for some time. However, up until today images are available only on a handful of devices due to system-image server configuration limitation. Note that I haven't tested the images on devices other than a handful of devices I have, so please make sure you have a way to recover your phone before trying this.

      Note that at the time of posting, the Noble-based images are still missing quite a number of functionalities. At the moment, the following features are either known to be not working, or is not tested but is likely not to be working:

      • Web browser
      • Media playback
      • Camera
      • Libertine
      • Sensor
      • Push notification
      • Dialer, Messaging UI
      • Hotspot

      If you're interested in helping bringing up these features to Noble-based images, please ping me either here or on Telegram.

      Do not install this image on your daily driving phone. Things will be broken. You have been warned.

      [1]: more specifically, devices with 64-bit ARM architecture and Halium 9 or newer.

          Hi @peat_psuwit

          How to check if noble image is available for poco x3 (surya) ?

          I tried

          system-image-cli --list-channels
          

          but an exception occurs every time.

              @Eric-H system-image-cli requires sudo even for channel listing. However --list-channels will list every single one of them, including those that doesn't have your device's image.

              A better way is to check this link [1] to see if there's your device's code name in it. A brief look seems to confirm that, yes, your device is available in the channel.

                Awesome news, just installed it!
                The only issue other than those mentioned is that adb authorization doesn't work, (as the push notification is not displayed?).

                May the source be with you

                  Very good to see that Noble development is going more and more concret!
                  Lot of people were a bit afraid when @AppLee said in last Q&A that Noble is harder than expected and won't land before 2025....

                  Anyway, a huge thanks to the whole team. I know you strive to achieve impossible feats day after day... 👏

                    Ok, never mind, I just executed the command through ADB and it now downloads the files.
                    My previous error was from the UT terminal directly.

                      Well, it's beta and stable may not land before 2025 which is in 4 months, so very short time left.

                          Hi @paulcarroty

                          The work is done at system level which means developers work with their favorite device.
                          When Noble will be available the port maintainer will have to do some work to bring the new system to the device.

                          The Xperia X was ported by Alfred and he didn't port it to Focal, so it's possible the kernel is too old to support systemd or simply that Alfred couldn't find the time to do it.
                          But I would be pessimistic about the chances to see Noble on your phone.
                          Or you might be motivated enough to take it over from Alfred.

                            @AppLee Actually Xperia X has focal so there's a high chance it'll get Noble unless there's a new kernel requirement aside from systemd's.

                                @AppLee Yeah something weird about it. It has focal tag but doesn't show with the focal filter. Also the release channels only list xenial ones.

                                  One question: do I have to have an Android 9 version when installing the RN9 Pro ( Global )? An Android 9 Plus channel appears on the software channels. Is this Noble 24.04? Thank you for your work on the Miatool devices.

                                    For those that are interested in development of Noble-based Ubuntu Touch, we've now published a new system-image channel devel/arm64/android9plus/daily, available on most devices which has 20.04 devel image [1]. You can switch to it using the following command:

                                    sudo system-image-cli -v --progress=dots --switch=devel/arm64/android9plus/daily
                                    

                                    The channel has actually been existed for some time. However, up until today images are available only on a handful of devices due to system-image server configuration limitation.

                                    If you're interested in helping bringing up these features to Noble-based images, please ping me either here or on Telegram.

                                    Do not install this image on your daily driving phone. Things will be broken. You have been warned.

                                    [1]: more specifically, devices with 64-bit ARM architecture and Halium 9 or newer.

                                    Hi @peat_psuwit , juste gave a try with FP4, installation went fine.
                                    But none of the core apps/ system apps works ( launched and then killed), any special things to do ? What app is supposed to work ?

                                      One question: do I have to have an Android 9 version when installing the RN9 Pro ( Global )?

                                      This question is probably best asked elsewhere. This topic announces the noble-based devel images, an unrelated support question about installation on a specific device will get lost here.

                                      Is currently using an Op5t
                                      Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                                        @peat_psuwit Following on from @lduboeuf question is there anything you would like testing on 24.04 or anything in general people could help with yet.

                                          The core apps seem to launch on some devices but not others. I haven't looked into it closely yet.

                                          At the moment, not yet. This announcement is geared towards developers wanting to "get their hands dirty".

                                            @peat_psuwit Testing on two Lenovo TB-X605F. It's interesting. As expected most things don't work:

                                            No screen rotation
                                            No camera
                                            No browser
                                            No sound
                                            Tanks battery

                                            WiFi works as it has downloaded and installed updates.

                                            Unfortunately, not a developer, but something to test.

                                            Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
                                            I have too many devices...
