I'm using a Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch (with no problems) and I'm about to buy a Sony Xperia X 5" 3/32gb Black F5121P.
I read than its fine with the F5121, can you tell me if UT works well with the F5121P?

@fredldotme Hi! I accidentally tried installing F5122 using the F5121 option in the ubport installer, and it went on installing successfully. It even let me booted one time before failing to boot again.

If you need to test anything to get ubport on F5122 as well. I'm willing to help.
Thx again. Awesome stuff you're doing.

@PjsP I wasn't aware of there being a F5121P model. It looks the same as F5121 but don't take my word for it.

Halium recovery does not clear the cache completly. For a new device it is necessary to install TWRP first after unlocking the device. It can be downloaded from here: https://dl.twrp.me/suzu/twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img.html and flashed in Fastboot Mode (Power on + VolumeUp = Blue LED) using:

fastboot flash recovery Downloads/twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img

Afterwards boot into TWRP and select Wipe / data, system & cache partitionen. Continue with the installation (OEM Binaries / UBports installer)

On my device the location service is not working at all. Neither in the Weather app, nor in apps like puremaps or uNav. Does anyone else experience this issue?

Today i installed ubports on my xperia x, but app store is not opening and when anyone calls it just vibrates once then i dont see aything to accept call

[Lakotaubp]

@hsabun Have a look here for apps including OpenStore. As for calls there is the same issue for OP3/t at present bug report here for OP3/T https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1312

Since todays update I don't have the circle of flash anymore but a Yumi and "Installing update". Very nice

Is there any progress on the content-hub bug? I don't know how to help but maybe I could take a look at the sources and play around with it if you send me a link.

Hi,

today I have tried to flash UT on my X. Everything went fine until the UBports installer gave out an error:

Error: systemimage: Error: Error: Failed to push file 0: Error: Push failed: stdout: adb: error: failed to copy 'home/user/etc... to '/cache/recovery/ubports-910eb8d940df68e751cd1e047a1b438b85bc24471aade397242765009a6c4d.tar.xz': remote write failed: Read-only file system 
/home/user/etc.../.cache/ubports/pool/ubports-910eb8d940df68e751cd1e047a1b438b85bc24471aade397242765009a6c4d.tar.xz' 0 files pushed. 9.7 MB/s (139115944 bytes in 13.724s)

Now the phone has an bootloop. It always boots into the android recovery, shuts down and boots again, even if I get to the option "reboot to bootloader".
The only thing I can do is to power it off.

Anyone who can help me to solve this.

Wipe data,system&cache partition with TWRP before Flash the OEM binaries

Remove SD card before run the UBports installer

[makeixo]

@nyu got it! Thank you, man!

[hsabun]

Today i found an ubuntu touch update, and after upgrading the phone is not booting up(black screen)

[nyu]

@hsabun If sd card is inserted, then phone gets freeze with black screen in recovery

[tuxus]

@hsabun

1. download the update
2. pull sd card drawer a little
3. install update
4. push sd card drawer
5. if sim-card not detected make reboot

On the edge channel, the camera is always crashing for me and even reboots the phone. Has anyone got the camera working on edge?

[tuxus]

@kuleszdl Yes, camera is working

sudo umount /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules && sudo umount /usr/share/apparmor/hardware/graphics.d/apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu_android && sudo umount /usr/share/apparmor/hardware/video.d/apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu_android

sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_gst-droid

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-droid nemo-qtmultimedia-plugins

I was able to fix the content hub bug by just removing these lines:
https://github.com/ubports/content-hub/blob/f0d91e8ad42536486fa291f8ede3964f8bb75c53/src/com/ubuntu/content/detail/transfer.cpp#L187-L191

I don't know how important this check is for the other devices but now on my phone I can send files in FluffyChat and Teleports from the gallery without any problems.

[tuxus]

@Krille Is there a update comming?

[Krille]

@tuxus no. Just wanted to share, that this solves it for me. But removing a check like this, where we have no idea what it does, can be dangerous. Ever played Mikado?
