I struggled a bit (see my other post here) and rooted the tablet, but now it functions. It was well worth it. What a pleasure to go to the app store and everything is free! My kid got all the games and she loves the planetarium.

SOLVED!

Typing in that order 3 lines of code :
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock

Finally did the trick!

UBP took over and installed Ubuntu Touch!

Maybe I should try, then :). Did a bit of coding way back, mostly javascript, perl and a bit of C++. How hard can it be?

My kid's tablet is full of games. When I try to do something on it, I have to hunt through all the icons for the utility app I want.

I want folders and the ability to drag and drop all these game icons into a folder called "Games". Similar to regular Ubuntu, where the desktop functions as a kind of file manager, and like there is on Android.

Where can I find a good tutorial and platform for creating Ubuntu Touch apps?
