        Thank you. Typo on my part btw. I had the 2gb/32gb model in mind.

        But I will wait to hear from someone using Ubuntu touch on the 2gb ram model before I spend $

          If I remember correctly it doesn't have an Android 11 update so it's not supported by the port. And to be honest, even if it is supported, using a 2GB RAM device might not give a good experience.

            @its_____ No, it is not possible on the 2Gb/32Gb version as @kugiigi pointed out it is on Android 10 and it must be on Android 11 for UT to work.

              @MrT10001 It is possible actually, I have done it on mine. But you are right, the hard part is getting it on android 11, which I managed to in the end by tricking the lenovo rescue and smart assistant into restoring android 11 instead of 10. I first ran a normal recovery, which recovers it into android 10. Then I replaced the ROM files in the C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles folder with the android11 ones and ran another recovery. Worked without issues and after that installation with UBports was a breeze.

              So far the user experience has been quite good, not sluggish at all. Although I only just installed so it might deteriorate as I install more apps.

                @Ike83 That is very interesting to know as I have tried many times on this device and always got a bootloop.

                  @Ike83 Job jobbed. Many thanks for that little tip - it worked as you stated. I have been messing about with the QFIL tool and not got anywhere. It is now on a NOOK TB-X306F 2Gb/32Gb tablet. It was not too happy with Android 11 then again, neither was I, so UT is running on quite happily so far.

                    I have installed it on a 2Gb 32Gb TB-X306X - the LTE version of the tablet and it is working so far.

                      As a note, do not expect the same performance as the 4Gb 64Gb model as 2Gb is not great for opening multiple apps and even the browser. Android 10 on the 2Gb variant ran awfully and I had to tweak a lot just to get some things done, mainly kids games.

                        @Ike83 Hey mate I own the 2gb 32gb variant of this tablet, could you provide me the android 11 files for it? It sounds like I have to run recovery, place android 11 in and then run recovery again? Cheers anyhow!

                        Edit: I found some kind of firmware file in this thread! Would this work Ike? Link is below.

                                @voodoojaza Yes, the firmware file is in there and it must be unzipped. You need a Windows machine and you need to run the Lenovo Software Fix tool (which requires logging in with a Google or Facebook account or creating a Lenovo account). You need to start the device recovery and download the firmware. Then navigate to the downloaded firmware folder and swap it out withe firmware you have downloaded ( keep the other safe just in case). Continue with the recovery - follow the instructions. When it reboots to Android, set android up, enable Developer options (making sure you are on Android 11), enable bootloader unlocking and USB debugging. Reboot to the bootloader, unlock it, reboot to Android, set Android up, enable developer options and USB debugging and then you can run it through the UT installer.

                                If the UT installer fails use version 0.10.0.

                                You will find UT on this device a lot quicker than Android, especially Android 11, however the experience is not as good as a 4Gb/64Gb version due to the lower amount of RAM.

                                  @MrT10001 Holy shit man, thank you ever so much. I've noticed on android 10 that the tablet is ever so buggy.

                                  I'll start installing it on the weekend, will let you know if I bump into any trouble.

                                    @voodoojaza Please do. It has worked pretty much flawlessly for me.

                                      @MrT10001 When using UT is the any slow down on waydroid, I've only had the tablet for a few days (Scored it for £25) and I've noticed plenty of slowdown when using basic android-10 even in the settings and web browser-usage.

                                        @voodoojaza I don't use Waydroid so i don't know, however I don't see it running well or at all due to the 2Gbs of RAM. You would be better off with a 4Gb/64Gb version if you want to use Waydroid.
