can you install on TB-X306F 2GB 32GB

its_____

Or is specifically only 4GB/64GB model possible?

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.

MrT10001

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.
