Cheers for the advice everyone, I also stumbled with the unsupported "ubuntu-device-flash" in bionic, but as @Luksus also mentioned, v0.1.9 worked fine for me too (eventually, took a couple of goes).

I'm now on 16.04/rc and just now got the W26 OTA update.

I'm eagerly awaiting this update too. After a failed attempt at flashing 16.04/rc I had to resort to flashing a Fairphone Android stock image (urgh!)

Is there a .zip of the current 16.04 image I can flash manually, preferably with a "flash all" shell script? I'd be more than happy enough with that in the absence of a functioning ubports-installer.

Hi all,

Scott Marley here, Australian, 35 years old, salaryman, statistician and historical archivist by day, occasional freelance writer by night (a short career so far with just 2 articles published in UK magazine Retro Gamer).

When I eventually stopped resisting and finally got a smartphone, I chose the Nexus 4 with UT as my first. I loved it until I eventually dropped it by accident and replaced it with the flagship Meizu Pro 5 international edition, where I had to install ubuntu myself. I loved it so much I convinced my mum to get one too, so we're both avid users. She just turned 60, so possibly oldest UT user?

I recently dropped my own Meizu and while I'm trying to get the screen repaired, I bought a Fairphone 2 as a replacement. I'm not sure which model I like the most, or which will see the longest ubports support, but I'm loving the FP2. Me being so accident prone, I think I'll appreciate it's rugged build and easily replaceable parts, but I'm still a fan of the Meizu's more premium style design and features (I miss fingerprint unlocking).

There's always Mobuntu (mobile + 'buntu)

I think I'd prefer something a bit more outside the box, though. Something creative that pinwheels from a stream of consciousness word association.

eg Niles > Nilesy > Nilesy-Wilesy > Wile E Coyote > The Coyote (from an old episode of Frasier)

Cell phone > Cell > Perfect Cell > Dragon Ball Z > Android Saga > Android > Red Ribbon Army > Red Robin > Red Robin OS! ( a few copyright infringements there)

I don't think I have the answer, but trying to push the discussion a little further.

Gesture McSwipeyFace OS?

I seem to remember there used to be one on the Ubuntu App store for a while, but then it disappeared. It only worked with The Pirate Bay, and it could only download to a hidden folder and you had to go digging for your files, but it did work.

Any particular reason for its disappearance? (Apart from the obvious grey/black areas it dares to tread regarding copyright infringement).
