Looking for testers: port for Lenovo Tab M8 HD (TB-8505F)
-
@k.nacke Thats great, thats what I thought, something to try when I get time. Keep up the good work.
-
Is there a recovery image yet or is the RAM size creating limitations?
-
@k.nacke That worked. My 8505F is now running UT, albeit slowly, but better than Android.
Steps to reiterate (Using Windows 11 -
)- Unlock bootloader = ./fastboot flashing unlock
Reboot into Android, set it up etc.
- ./fastboot flash boot boot.img
- ./fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
("using the vbmeta.img from the stock rom (downloaded with the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant).")
- ./fastboot flash system ubuntu.img
- ./fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img (don't know if this is necessary)
- ./fastboot -w (It will error here, ignore).
- ./fastboot reboot
-
@MrT10001 Thanks! That is great news!
./fastboot -w (It will error here, ignore).That error should go away when you
cdinto the directory with the stock rom files first. -
@k.nacke I will try that next time as I have acquired another one. Can I add the above to the readme on your Gitlab so any one else who is interested can follow it? (I tried but it forks, so I left it and thought I had better ask). Great work on this one. I am playing with scaling as it was scaled at 16 and I thought that was scrambling text, but even at 12 some text is missing (using the Tweak tool).
-
@MrT10001 I added you as developer to the repository. Feel free to change the readme.
-
@k.nacke Readme updated and awaiting merge.

This is one area for which I really need feedback. This is not only my first port, it is the first time I see Ubuntu Touch on a real device.
E.g. the icons may be too large.... -
@k.nacke I also had a scaling issue and set it to 12.
The nursing chargers were fixed by reviewing. I have not had that issue since.
-
@k.nacke It seems ok after a reboot.
