@tigerpro Nice! So I have to be more careful when tweaking with Halium then.

I'll update when I can when Halium is running on my laptop.

I finally saw the word GIT in the apt install, so I guess I see where "build" is going

Thanks for getting back to me.

Sadly, that's the site that brought me to the forums in the first place. XD. As savvy as I wish I was with computers, much of the new jargon fly over my head.

Anyway, seeing as you find nothing wrong in what I mentioned, it may be safe to assume it better to try the instructions as I have interpreted it. (To clarify, I will read the given instructions. I just feel I may have misread some things)

I'll try Telegram soon. Thanks for the tip.

Let me start by saying I'm completely new to the concept of rooting, flashing, and porting. So I'd like to try and digest what I read from the steps.

0. Check if my phone is compatible, and help others know if they are, by documenting it.
1. Get something called "Halium" installed on my desktop/laptop.
2. Create a "Halium-boot" using Halium's breakfast or lunch options.
3. "Flash" "Halium-boot" unto my phone, (which is telling me I just paste it there using "fastboot")
4. Have a back up of my phone... in my phone. Something about TWRP.
5. Download Ubuntu Touch.
6. Get "Halium-install" and tell it to install Ubuntu Touch for me.

Is this a good summary, or did I get something wrong?

(Because it's saying I empty my phone in step 6, and I have no idea why it'd want me to put something in my phone that's about to be wiped)
