          Technically yes as it is on the upgrade path to Android 11 and Android 11 is a requirement from the porter. I have not seen a 3Gb/32Gb version but they do exist. You will get a clearer answer here

            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.
