Thinnking of getting myself into Fairphone 5...

[Boldos]

So... Bought myself a new shiny FP5

1. I unlocked the boot loader with FP code
2. I downgraded the Android to v13 as I was instructed via UBPorts Installer
   Yes, Android 13 booted successfully
3. Flashed the Ubuntu 24.04-daily
4. Device is refusing to boot UT

Flashed the Ubuntu 24.04-daily

what do you mean by that ? 24.04-2.x, that is, the bleeding edge ?

[Boldos]

Ok, second time is the charm
I switched USB cable (it was probably bad), ordered wiping user data and used 24.04-stable for flashing...

Flashing worked the second time and now I'm on UT on my FP5

I got one a new one this week and installed UT. Here are my current problems:

• Cannot install apps
• Cannot connect to BT4.x devices
• several bugs still going around

Nevertheless, it is already a great sensation of freedom.

Understood. Thanks.
What do you suggest to use as linux in mobile phones? The Fedora, postmarketOS do not appear to be better (from my perspective)

You can ignore this link safely! ( the one you quoted, in your previous message, it's spam )

This is strange that you cannot install apps. What happens when you open the openstore or try to install an app?

[grenudi]

@Kadafi I dont know, sir, its up to you. I just want to point out the roads here so you could have more udertanding of what the roads are and where they might lead to. Though different, none is better than the other. Solely up to you, your preferenses, your needs and so on. What ever you choose its an interesting journey in all directions good luck!

@pparent I enter the Open Store, seatch for a Authenticator app, Click on 2FA Manager, click on the green install button and the transfer animation stays forever.

@Escain this is precisely what i am experiencing as well on fp5! @devs please fix!
