        @Rafa are you sure you upgraded to the latest Android 8.0 before? That command not allowed thing usually means it's running an older bootloader.

          Hello, @fredldotme

          First of all a big thank you for all your work because I managed to install Ubports on Xperia X!

          I feel very embarrassed because the main problem was a file error. I was doing :

          $ fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.zip
          

          Instead of:

          $ fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img
          

          And I wasn't getting any warnings...

          Also since the beginning I had installed Android 8 and $ fastboot erase odm always returned the same error message (FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)), but $ fastboot erase oem works...

          However, after correcting my shameful error, I encountered other error messages:

          • a first error of the type "failed to copy 'home/user/... to '/cache/recovery/ubports-...tar.xz': remote write failed: Read-only file system"
          • a second time ubports installer indicated that it did not have access to the /data partition

          But by insisting and repeating the same steps (wipe system, data & cache partitions using TWRP + fastboot erase oem before flashing the Loire Nougat file), it worked in the end.

          Thank you.

            Hi @fredldotme , many thanks for this port for Xperia X. I bought Xperia X yesterday, sucesfully updated to latest android 8.0.0 via OTA , unlocked BL and sucesfully flashed Ubuntu Touch. Everything works good, system is pretty stable and fast.
            I have only few questions about this OS.

            1. Back LED flash works good as flashlight, but seems to not working in camera app, if I force enable flash, or set automatic flash, nothing happend - no flash, when I try to take a picture. I tried to reboot the phone, still nothing.

            2. any success about video recording please ? With working video recording, this Ubuntu port would be perfect.

            Thank you for your work and answers.

              @ab2x2 Both flashlight and video recording in the camera can be successfully implemented using this: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3257/how-to-test-gstreamer-droid-based-camera-support-in-ubuntu-touch-for-halium-7-1-based-port

              Just make sure you follow the instructions correctly.
              Also, due to the way this works, it's possible the changes disappear after a system upgrade, so you'd have to re-apply on full system upgrades which are around 450MB in size.

                  @fredldotme Many thanks for answer. Are you going to implement working video recording and flashlight directly to your builds ? Thank you.

                    @ab2x2 no, the suzu images are built straight from the devel (or edge on arm64) channel. The gst-droid work will land when it's ready, for now you'll have to follow the guide until it is merged and part of the normal repo.

                      Hi guys,

                      I'm the only one where many apps did not work anymore. They display a white page and that's it.

                      Someone told me it may come from : "I guess thats due to the removal of oxide.(?) People need to update their (web)apps to use Morph.Web or something instead.", is that confirmed?
                      Thanks

                        Also changed my F5122 from Sailfish to UT to see how everything works and I must say pretty well so big thanks for the dev!

                        As I see that Anbox should work in X is there any instructions how to install it? It's not on "supported devices" list yet.

                            Hi guys,

                            now my apps are working again :). But I have another problem.
                            I've downloaded the Ubuntu Touch version 250 but when I click on install, it ask me to click on intall and restart, and when I click on this ... nothing happens.

                            I've tried apt-get update but it failed saying some reference are missing or replaced.

                            Any hints ?

                            Thanks
                            Mathieu

                              Did you download on 2 days but not install on the first day?

                                  @mousse04 This is a known bug, you need to clean out the cache of system-settings with the UT tweak-tool then it will work again. Or use the installer...

                                        @fredldotme Thank you for your great work. Except of the fingerprint reader everything is working.

                                        I have I have two things to comment.

                                        First of all. It was really pain to update to android 8 first. But it is nessecary. I tried to install without updating from 6 to 8 because the Android won't update and I was to lazy using Flashtool.

                                        Second. The power consumption is really high. The System sucks 70% in idle mode overnight. What is your experience? Is there a possibility to reduce energy? I installed sim, telegram, mail, nexcloud sync for calendar, files and contacts. But that should not need much energy.

                                          Little bit unrelated but just something that crossed my mind reading your comment and maybe getting myself Xperia X later for Ub.Touch.

                                          1. Updating to Android 8.0 isn´t that something you can do with Sony Emma Tool easily?
                                          2. After I installed Lineage OS on my Xperia X Compact I had much more battery drainage than before.

                                            Well... I was optimistic and tried it without updating. I don't have windows installed.

                                            So how long last a full battery in idle mode wifi and mobile on?
