Status update on Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.x, May/June 2025

[peat_psuwit]

New system-image channel name: 24.04-1.x/arm64/{hybris,android9plus}/daily

A couple weeks ago, I've done another migration to change, amongst other things. system-image channel name. The new channels are now called 24.04-1.x/arm64/{hybris,android9plus}/daily, with utnext/arm64/{hybris,android9plus}/daily becoming the alias of the former.

The change is made to streamline the process when the development release (e.g. 24.04-1.x) enters a stabilization phase. Devices receiving updates from the old channel name will not see a significant change.

Once 24.04-1.x enters a stabilization phase, utnext/arm64/{hybris,android9plus}/daily will become the aliases of the next release of Ubuntu Touch (e.g. 24.04-2.x).

Status of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.x

Notable progresses in the past 2 months are:

• The new logo of Ubuntu Touch has been finalized, and is now used in the boot screen and (soon) in System Settings app.

• Calendar syncing is now working again after fixing underlying issues in libraries we depend on. (MR: 1, 2)
• The problem of ADB session being closed after a few minutes has been fixed. (MR)

GitLab label & milestone cleanup, and new GitLab issue board for 24.04-1.0

A few weeks ago, I've finally got a chance to sit down and re-organize issue labels, milestones and issue boards. As a result we now have an issue board for UT 24.04-1.0 which should help showing what's left in order to have 24.04-1.0 out of the door.

As you can see, there are still a number of issues on the board that would love some help. Please join our development Telegram group and talk to us if you're interested in one of the issues on the board.
