Is it worth considering starting again?

Installing the correct Fairphone Andriod version listed on the ubuntu-touch website and following the install procedures for 24.04 stable?

I have none of the issue you mentioned in your multiple threads with my fp5.
The only outstanding issue is the fingerprint reader for me at the moment on stable.

@sixwheeledbeast since i stop using windows, i tend not to follow the path of "reformat and reinstall". Also, i had already an updated and that should also had overwrite the original install. Also, on the first time, i did reinstall 3 times (no cable issues and no hardware issues).

@Kadafi

since a doubt has been expressed on the Android version, could you give us the return in the terminal of

getprop | grep vndk

to see what's the previous Android version ?

How is not using Windows relevant to the suggestion to start again?
You're have plenty of issues that no-one else is experiencing, I'd say it's a sensible first step.
If something was borked during installation or you had the wrong Android version then the UT installed on top of that, may not function correctly.

@gpatel-fr Shows:

[ro.vmdk.version]: [30]

But i install the Fairphone restore of the android 13, before retrying to install the UT.

@sixwheeledbeast reformatting like windows style is not a good path. Also, getting a friendly support like "only happens to you" from a software on which i have absolute no control is also a bad path to follow. Also, "you have a failure hardware" or "usb cable is broken" is also not a good sign.

UBports is suppose to handle all by itself. Did not for 3 times. I reinstalled FP android 13 and tried again.

I do not understand how so many bugs are related to a wrong installation made by UBports (not me).
All appear to be standard software bugs but okay.
I will repeat the FP android 13 recovery and repeat the UBports installation. But i am already loosing the hope on using UT. Simple, it does not work.

Also, why can't i install Firefox? Due to the kernel version of UT?
I understand the efforts the people is making but if it does not work... does not work. I already spent money buying a FP5. It starts to appear to be a bad investment.

I politely disagree. On UT, reflashing without wiping your user data can fix many problems.

you mean that i should just re-flash UT, not re-flashing android 13 from FP5 and then again UT?

Yes. Directly over the current installed version of UT.
It's really quite safe as long as you make SURE to untick the 'wiper user data' box.

It may or may not help, but if it does, it's an easy solution. Worth a try, I'd say.

Due to the fact that there is no native version of Firefox for UT... yet.
