Getting this and can no longer keep device updated...help please

Is this phone no longer workable? It's my daily driver . I just need a phone that works nothing fancy, Do I have to now consider moving to something like fair phone 3+ or voila phone...to have a device that is working ? I don't really want to send 2-300 euros on a phone I don't need.

I really don't care.. .I just want something that is going to be maintained ...even if I have to donate every month... !

Someone show some rays of hope please...

Is there a simple fix for the above.. command line or other..
The flashing of this phone is no longer possible as the mirrors are not being found...

I think the device page needs to be marked as no longer maintained... as it appears to be left in the dark!

Thanks in advance.
From and appreciative end user.

@mjosenhans Hi it's not so much the app but the OS that you need to change. >System Settings > Updates > Update settings (bottom of list)> Channels > change from "Dev" to "Release candidate" This will prompt the download of a new image approx 500mb (check you data-plan or go WiFi!) Once downloaded click on install.
phone will reboot and install.

Don't forget to backup any important data, (but everything should be ok...anyway... but just saying!!)

So you are changing your OS ubuntu (oversimplification I think!!) image to the Release Candidate that still works with Dekko and the camera etc.. and is the most stable at present.

This is temp fix until Dev is updated from what I understand.
Good luck

Hello, I am looking for some guides to getting this device working again on Touch. I can see that some work was done a while ago here
https://github.com/f69m/ubuntu-touch-tf300t/wiki/Build-Ubuntu-Touch-for-ASUS-Transformer-TF300T but I have no idea what needs to be done to get things to work again. I have this device lying around and it would be great to use it again with UBtouch.
What would I need to make/build check ... Some handy pointers by you people in the know would be greatly appreciated. It's an old device but has a nice little keyboard ... so a little motivated!

Perhaps its not worth it...!?

RC channel swap fixes this issue.

RC channel fixes this.

@marius-ciclistu RC fixes for me ...but different device.

@fla Thanks will give RC a go

Camera no longer works ... I think this echos other issues .

@danqo6 have installed clickable but I am guessing that

git clone --recurse-submodules git@gitlab.com:dekkan/dekko.git

is not going to get your reference ... I am new to this could you help me with formatting the correct pull request to your link please . (if that makes sense LOL)

Thanks in advance

@lakotaubp thanks

@danqo6 ok, thanks, I guess I open with openstore when presented... did not like it a few seconds ago, I tried clearing cache with tweak tool but does not like that. Also keep alive now .. but that does not seem to help ..

New to the forum, so forgive my ignorance in posting potentially in the wrong place!
Latest OTA seems to kill Dekko, I understand lots of things going on under the hood, but thought I would ask around to see if it is a device specific issue or not?
Posted a bug on Github but I am not holding up much hope seeing as it appears not to be maintained at present?
