        @flohack I recall my Note 4 saying anbox was 7.1, could it possibly be based on halium version?

        Whether you think you can, or you can't, if you do not try, you will never truly know. So give it a Go.

          @tigerpro No, its an image of a certain Android version, it has nothing to do with the deviceΒ΄s version. I dont think its 7.1 but who knows ^^

            Hey there.

            Installed on my old Sailfish. Install was fine, no issues.

            Apart from the known cellular issue, my install has no sound at all. Is this a known issue?

            One other thing - I've noticed it shows a notification icon at the top of the screen but when I go to notifications there is nothing there?

            M.

                  Hi @lordzeed
                  This ain't the right place for this kind of question.
                  AFAK, no port is in progress, please check there for compatible devices : https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

                    I finally been able to install Ubuntu Touch on my Goole Pixel XL. I would want to know if I'll need to flash every next release to get fixes and updates.
                    Thanks a lot for the port.

                      Also, could the bootloader be locked without losing any files after the installation is done?

                        I don't think Pixel XL is already in the OTA update processe, it's not handled by ubports installer though.

                            forgot to say that for some reason I don't know, the smartphone automatically start to the android bootloader (the one with the robot), after being powered off.

                              @fellfromthesky uh thats a though question, in principle yes. But if you do so, and you would ever have an issue with Ubuntu Touch that prevents it from booting, you could never access your data again so we do not recommend this under all circumstances.

                              The problem is less visible for Android phones where the apps save most data in the cloud, and also cloud backup is possible. But we are simply not there yet to support such options.

                                thanks.
                                I'll let the smartphone as it is right now until the official release.

                                  Hey, I have a Pixel XL and am 100% willing to test! My Pixel is fully functional and I have plenty of spare devices.

                                  Also, since you have both a Pixel and Pixel 2, you might want to join t.me/Pixel1Chat and t.me/Pixel2Chat . They're run by me and a few friends, and you'll find lots of testers there too.

                                    @yagya Thanks! Unfortunately neither of them has recovery working, and this blocks us a bit for making a wider test. I will come back as soon as we have solved this.

                                          Hi guys, just an update, I am trying to solve the puzzle of Pixel/XL having a too small system partition for our installer. I am near a solution, but need a bit more time. Before thats solved more testing makes on sense since that problem would be a major blocker for that device. So, sit back and relax, I hope to come back with an installer config soon πŸ˜‰

                                          And BTW also SIM card is not detected so Pixel is really in early state only.

                                            Hi there @Flohack , I've recently flashed my Pixel XL and am quite happy with the result thus far, hoping to do more testing for you when a new revision is available!

                                            Any update on the progress on this device? Cheers!

                                              @daereth Yes, unless I can solve the automatic install there is not much progress. Currently system partition is too small. I try an alternate way of loading the rootfs, or b) we could repartition the flash.
                                              I am not sure if repartitioning is something we oculd be happy with though.
