  • RE: Install Fail with Installer

    @mawil1013 Yeah, the Ubports installer is A LOT easier than the old way using the terminal but some problems still happen.

    OK, I'm going off of some memory here so bear with me. After the phone wiped itself (though still Android) maybe try in the newly viewable Dev mode or options settings looking for USB debugging. Make sure that's turned on. Now if you (while phone is still turned on and your android home screen open and screen powered on) plug into your computer there should be a new notification about trusting your pc. Say yes and to always trust (if available) then open your Ubports installer. Hopefully the installer will see your phone. If not then click on the right phone manually from the list. Then try flashing (and wiping) and it may (like mine did) automatically reboot the phone into fastboot mode. It should have you put in your Computers password (or at least does on my linux based desktop) and start actually flashing the images. When done with the recovery images it should reboot into recovery mode and start downloading the like 12 part ubuntu image(s). When done it will start pushing to the phone. After that it should reboot and the phone install the OS.

    Hopefully this all helps. Also if you still have problems being stuck try like I did and the AppImage version and also install adb (sudo apt install adb if using an Ubuntu OS). That all made it work for me (but I was using Maru OS which is Android 6 based so some of the Android side steps I wrote may be SIMILAR but slightly different). Installing the OS is the biggest step I've found in using Ubuntu Touch so far. 🙂

  • RE: 16.04 Nexus 5 Awesome but with Open Store and Video problems

    Thanks, y'all!

    @Marathon2422 I listened to some of the podcast 28 and I know that 16 is not totally ready but using it I think it definantly seems close.

    @advocatux Thanks! That solved the problem! Still has very few apps now but like Marathon2422 said, their may be restocking the store with apps for 16.04. I know 15.04 is supposed to be more stable but this seems alright and I do want to submit error reports to help since this is stable enough for me to use as a daily phone. A lot of the problems I remember from last year or the year before are gone in this update I have installed now. Thanks for putting a link too. And I now use UTmedia since that works, but I wish I could use the File Manager to open the videos since that isn't suggested my UTmedia and the File-Manager doesn't list UTmedia as a was to open the video files. Oh well, it works alright for now. 🙂

    Thanks again! 🙂
