NEXUS 5 X Bullhead

wizardi3

Is there continuing development on NEXUS 5X Bullhead? Might be a good idea to not allow manual selection of phone on UBports if it's going to brick a phone. This is a good phone and many are available at a reasonable cost. Would like to run Ubuntu as I run it on laptop and desktop as well as servers.

If I don't remember it wrong, it is very hard to port the N5X. There have been couple of tries, that has all failed.
Sometimes the installer doesn't recognize the phone and selecting it manually has solved the problem in most cases.
Try Mobian or Postmarket Os on a supported device.

@wizardi3 I installed Kalios on them for penetration testing of WiFi networks. I hacked mine pretty quickly so made it more secure. You can also install /e/OS on them which is a de-Googled privacy orientated ROM.

Really? I don't see Nexus 5 listed amongst the e/os supported devices.

@cliffcoggin I think they took it off the list when they reached stable version 1.0...

@cliffcoggin Check here for the nexus 5X.

This is for the Nexus 5.

It's an "unofficial" support on their official website.

@mrt10001 Thanks. E/OS is my back up plan for when UT no longer works on the Nexus 5.
