      Hi !
      Those days I seen some people wishing to install UT on their FP2 but struggling at the installation.
      Sometimes it's because adb is not installed on their computer, or device not authorized, ...
      There are list of things that could be easily checked before starting UBports installer, IMO putting those more visible could sometimes avoid having lost people asking for help on the Telegram group...

      As I successfully installed UT I could write a step-by-step installation guide, but ideally it should not make a duplicate with the existing guide. Things are going really fast here (many thanks to the awesome team!) so any wiki could quickly becomes obsolete if it's not updated continuously (e.g. this wiki was last updated 6 month ago)...

      In short: I want to help clarifying installation instructions, where to contribute optimally ? 🙂

        It might help you:

        • https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/contribute/documentation.html
        • https://github.com/ubports/docs.ubports.com

        The web site ubports.com will also need to be improved to to point to the right documentations

          Waw, it may surprise you but actually I didn't heard of "docs.ubports.com" before ! For sure I'll contribute there, count on me !
          What surprise me is that this "docs" resource is not advertised on the main website (only FAQ, forum and wiki are linked from the drop-down menu). Is it a work-in-progress that will at term replace "wiki.ubports.com" or two parallel information medium?

            I am not surprised. It's why I post UBports Channels to list most of the useful links in UBports universe.

            Logically, https://github.com/ubports/ is the entry point for all those who want to contribute to the development, bug tracking, documentation,...

            wiki.ubports.com, I believe, is on the verge of obsolescence...

                  And to give some positive feedback: that updated instructions helped me a lot. Mostly which value needs to be written to ~/.android/adb_usb.ini 😉

                    Hi there,

                    I have Meizu Pro 5 with the Canonical distribution of Ubuntu Touch. I would like to switch to UBports, I am a bit confused about the instructions to follow. On ubports.com web site there are the instructions to do this from the terminal (for a Flyme OS device?):
                    https://ubports.com/page/get-ubuntu-touch

                    whereas in this wiki suggest the UBports installer:
                    https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer#readme

                    Which is the best way to do it? Should I connect the device in a fastboot mode or should I only set the Developer mode?

                    Thanks for the great job to the UBports community!
