it's a nice phone but dual-booting seems to not yet work if you get the UT version, but if you find a custom recovery could you flash android on slot b and keep UT on slot a to have a dual boot

@kugiigi i bought mine with UT installed from the factory, it is only installed on the a partitions and the b partitions aren't partitioned but it is a quite stable Halium 11 port

@kugiigi Volla has good support but currently are not making their UT images public yet for the VP22, i hope that changes soon because some seem to already hae bricked theirs and had to pay a repair fee up to 50€

@opcode it will come like the 2 previous phones they made, they have both installable, the UT phones have a unpartitioned b partition which suprised me because it could be a great fallback if something bricks your os. i would like having TWRP as custom recovery.

@keneda i would only see A-GPS as a privacy threat, but google can't do much with it if the phone is in other ways unidentifiable

@rudi-timmer i have managed to unbrick my phone last friday and am currently running Android 11 with waydroid on it

@domubpkm i have one too and it's great and runs UT and waydroid inside of it way better as the pinephone does, i miss not having any kind of TWRP CWM or OrangeFox recovery for making backups and such but it is solid but also misses being available in the installer to clean slate it if you messed stuff up

@arubislander there is a zip from one of their currently to me known OTA mirrors and one of them had a mimameid ubuntu firmware image which contained boot.img lk.img and the super.img and after some research did i flash them via fastboot flash lk lk.img then fastboot flash super super.img but i haven't tried this before because the autocompletitions from pressing tab had them not listed
it now boots but has weird behavior, it doesn't update via OTA channels and or via apt and i can't install waydroid because of it it hangs allways at 60% with the upgrade (i know i shouldn't use apt for a image based system here but OTA aren't working)

@sven how do i flash super.img? or lk.img?

@arubislander i got it unbootable trying to fix it, for it did i try the ubuntu touch images from here https://volla.tech/filedump/ but they contain not all and the official recovery won't flash because it is a A/B based phone or boot because it is just a blank orange screen

@ian i mean the fingerprint reader outputs a command on swiping on it which isn't supported by Ubuntu touch or waydroid it types into the terminal random character when swiped on
