<![CDATA[Best way to support Porting / Checking Status for the Fairphone 5]]>Hello together!

I have a Fairphone 5 and really want to use Ubuntu Touch on it.I saw in the FAQ that support is potentially in the works.

I wanted to ask what the best way is to help with the Porting / Development and how to check the current Status on that Topic.

I can help with testing, donations and coding.
What ever the best way around this Topic is in this Community.

Thanks!

The group can now be used as any other on the Forum.

And now that a FP5 Area in the Forum exists this topic can also be moved there if im not mistaking.

Till then stick to here. We can always move them if needed.

But first I need to check if the latest twrp commit allows full backups to work. I need to be able to restore Android (including data) easily if something is not working at all. I will Update this post if the newest twrp works. 🙂

UPDATE:
twrp can not backup / use data.
Tryed the offical release (3.7.1_12.0) and one build from the current source (24c9db44e02b3153cbefd8f0a086a3232f9cf5c0) with diffrent configs from (https://forum.fairphone.com/t/twrp-for-fairphone-5/99368).

Error:
E:Unable to override 'ro.crypto.dm_default_key.options_format.version' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'ro.crypto.volume.metadata.method' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'external_storage.projid.enabled' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'external_storage.casefold.enabled' due to missing libresetprop
E:Unable to override 'external_storage.sdcardfs.enabled' due to missing libresetprop

Means:
If someone wants to beta test there must comit to using it no matter what, use a temp. phone from storage, if they have onem, OR instal linageOS and disable encryption when formating data (unsafe and unsupoorted). Just so evey one intrested knows.

@Keneda I am informed all the information is as normal in the installer. I can't check as I don't have a 5.

What Fairphone OS version is needed for installation ?
FP5 sadly has android rollback protection so it is important to know.

+Now FP5 reached installer, we should open a device sub forum for it, with a proper beta test thread.
It's a bit HS here now ^^

fixed vgrid units
adb, mtp and usb
Modem is up
Sound and video decoding works
vibrationaidl added to hfd-service
flashlight
auto brightness
mobile data and calls
GPS

Many of the parts for voLTE have also no been merged but have not yet reached our devel update channel yet.

Work is being finished to make the FairPhone 5 available on the installer and as we know many of you are looking forward to this port we will let you know as soon as it is available.

We intend to show the FairPhone 5 at the up coming Ubuntu Summit in the Hague so if you are there please come and look us up to find out more.

I am excited!

Also "and as we know many of you are looking forward to this port we will let you know as soon as it is available" 😄 . Meaning this forum topic has received a good amount of attention in the UT space 😄 . 4.3K Views is a lot lol.

@kingu

thanks mr.

Do you mean that Ubuntu Touch will be released this month?

Suposedly the person working on it had some health situation come up so it's been a lesser priority versus getting better.

I hope they are better. I don't know much about it to give further detail, nor is it my business.

Certainly explains the lack of recent news regarding the build.
