        Hello everyone,
        I am newbie to Ubuntu touch and want to work on the development and customization of ubuntu touch. I want to make ubuntu touch rootfs using the Lomiri source and then deploy this on the utqemu.

        The unity8 repo tells about using clickable to build the sources but that does not create .img file. Can anyone please guide me in this process? How can the rootfs .img be made from lomiri sources?

        Thanks

          @iqrajaved I have the feeling you would be better off using the PDK for what you want to. Then you could install the relevant changed .deb packages directly in the PDK.

            @arubislander thank you for your reply. I have seen the ubports-pdk, I want to build the image ( which is downloaded here) in this: https://ci.ubports.com/job/focal-hybris-rootfs-arm64/job/master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ubuntu-touch-pdk-img-amd64.raw.xz

            How can I build this this image myself?

                @iqrajaved sorry, I lack the knowledge to help you with that.

                What I understand most people do to test their builds after they have tested them locally, is to push the changes to a fork or branch and let CI build.the packages. Then those are installed in the desired environment for the second round of testing. Then once the changes are merged to the appropriate branches they get baked into the image the next time around.
