<![CDATA[Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0]]>Update 11 September: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 is now available. See details.

Update 19 September 2025: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 2 has been released. This release fixes an issue with embedded webview in some applications and fixes changelog.

Hello everyone.

We are pleased to announce that, after much anticipation, Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1 is now available for testing! Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 is slated for release on 24 September 2025. Before then, we need to make sure it's ready to go.

Wait? 24.04-1.0?

If you have not followed our forums closely, you might be surprised that this versioning scheme does not match the scheme previously announced on our blog. This is a result of a long discussion amongst community members resulting in a decision to change our versioning scheme. This versioning scheme combines the version of Ubuntu we're based on (in this case, 24.04) with the version of changes specific to Ubuntu Touch (in this case, 1.0).

The rest of the previous announcement are still applicable; the only thing changed is how we versions each release of Ubuntu Touch.

What's new?

Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 will be the first release of Ubuntu Touch which is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, a major upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04. This might not be as big compared to our last upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04, but this still brings newer software stack to Ubuntu Touch (such as Qt 5.15).

Given the long time it took to produce this release, many new features are added to Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 and we're unable to list them all. However, following are some of the most notable changes:

  • New Ubuntu Touch logos to go with the new Ubuntu Circle-of-Friends (CoF)
  • Light mode for the shell

Known issues

As with any pre-released software, there are some significant issues that are known to developers. We include some of the them here so you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again.

Also available for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10

In addition to Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1, we're pleased to also announce that Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10, a maintenance release of 20.04 series, is also available for testing.

There is a separated forum post for discussion related to Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10 testing.

How can I test?

To receive Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1, we recommend upgrading your phone to Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10 RC then upgrade to Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 via the new upgrader.

Once your phone is on Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10 RC, run the following command in Terminal app or via ADB/SSH to receive Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1:

gsettings set io.ubuntu-touch.system-settings.update offer-development-release true

After that, head to System Settings -> Updates again, and you should be offered to upgrade to Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1.

You can find your image version in System Settings -> About -> OS.

All devices have their own number, since some changes may only affect one or few devices, but not all. So one device may get a build, others not. Some core changes may affect all devices, so all get a new build.

With a couple of hundred repositories its surely hard to track changes, but for tracking changes I am looking at merged MR's: https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged

as here updating to latest , from system device it says:

Looking for that on github , i dont see any of that version 334 !!?!
Not knowing what is updated make it harder to report any problems ...i did encounter a few glitches from different updates .
Not the topic for that ?
any hints or links?

as i am now missing channels options(daily , rc , stable) .
What is latest revision available to this date ?

Experimented a lot and installed a lot of app , including Ambot Installer , which seems to partially worked. Also pushed as far as switching to rc and back to daily , and tested one time restore .
Maybe i'ts time to get back to ubports installer ?
Is there a way to find if updater is broke
before going back to the installer for a ''fresh daily'' ?
Bare with the experimenter me .

Thank you all devs for ubports + testers !!

But obviously something went wrong. I haven't heard of such a case before.

I suggest using the installer and reinstall. Do NOT tick wipe, that will keep all your data.

However, the phone could not be unlocked. So, I restarted it by pressing the power button. Then the Android screen appeared, and I waited for about 8 hours.

When I press the power button again and restart the phone, it remains stuck on the Android screen without any changes.

This is the first stable release for 24.04, if I understand correctly ?

It's known that fingerprint sensor on Fairphone 5 does not always work.

Well, there even is a "sensorgate" as this capricious sensor can cause the device to brick after android 15 update if it dies !

Thanks to you and all the Devs involved in releasing this great OS to the people 😀

As such, it's been decided to go ahead with the release of 24.04-1.0.

Which means that Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 is now released.

What still does not work is the counter of messages of the different apps in the launcher. Dekko is counted endless unless you reboot
Teleports does notify and count, but sms app doesnt.
Another annoying but harmless issue is the time between a call an resurrection of mobile data, it takes ages compared to focal. Same after for example a tunnel, where mobile data was lost.
And a question: Will there be a note app again?
Thanks to all for your amazing work!

Is it still useful to report bugs found in 24.04-1.0 RC2?
When trying to associate a custom ringtone with a contact, I repeatedly encountered failures when copying the .mp3 file.
This behaviour is intermittent.
OK
Lionel has found the origine of the probem and there is no regression.
In fact, the file was alread present in /home/phablet/.local/share/sounds/ringtones/audio/
coming from my other phone on 20.04.
and the copy fails for this.
The message is not well suited or a better behaviour could be implemented in this case.
