Is this something interesting for UBports?

Since they promise to be able to run Debian on it, it should be possible to port UBports onto...?

You saved my day! Thanks a lot! It works!

Hi,

I have just installed OTA-5 on Meizu Pro 5 and RockWork doesn't start anymore. I can see a blue circle with arrows going round and it never goes to main screen.

Connecting to Pebble from bluetooth page seems to work ok.

Anybody hass an ide what to do with this?

@stefano Hi, I have just typed this command ubuntu-device-flash --server=https://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=turbo --channel=ubports-touch/16.04/stable thinking that my phone is not connected to a laptop... but it was. I have flashed UBPorts OTA-4 on my Meizu Pro 5. Thanks a lot!

After several unsuccessful tries I have installed TWRP. Wiped the device. Then installed "recovery-turbo" again.
At the end I have installed RC channel with this command:

$ sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=turbo --channel=15.04/rc

I have read on another topic that I should not use "" --bootstrap " option. Anybody knows why? Why it is there in the documentation?

(sorry for answering myself, but I think somebody else might learn from my experience while installing UBPorts on Meizu Pro 5)

I tried several times installing rc or stable channel from scratch but continuously failing with ""Failed to enter Recovery"

$ sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=turbo --channel=15.04/rc --bootstrap --recovery-image=./recovery-turbo.img

Hi struggled again with this today.
I wanted to switch to RC channel. The switch on the phone settings doesn't seem to have any effect. It switches back itself to stable.
So looking into the wiki page (https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/Release-Channels), I tried this command:

sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --channel=15.04/rc
2017/12/07 11:25:26 Expecting the device to expose an adb interface...

And it failed! I was left again with not booting phone. Only fastboot was responding.

I see the command I entered is not complete.
I have flashed a new recovery on fastboot mode.
Then I followed with complete command:

And it's back to life.
Unfortunately I have wiped it with this. But it's good to wipe it from time to time

Failed to enter Recovery

As it can be seen it resulted with a screen with error saying ""Flashing failed. Contact Support" in few different languages.
As a result I can boot to fastboot, but normal restart stops at screen with "MEIZU powered by ubuntu".
Can I somehow recover it?

Please remember that for most people small is good enough - also for me, (and most probably they will vote for small) but that should not mean we make the app less usable for the minority.

I have (Meizu pro 5) UBPorts OS version "Ubuntu 15.04 (r1)". What is "version 12"? Did I miss something?

BT connection with Pebble Time Steel works fine (turned on all the time). Occasionally it looses the connection (watch warns me about). I need to turn off/on the app to reconnect.

BT connection with Elementary OS (Ubuntu 16.04) for file transfer works fine as well.

BT connection with two sets of cheap headphones works fine.

BT connection with car (Kia Niro) works fine for music streaming (from phone to car audio), browsing contacts list from phone works,
a phone call is not possible due to high volume noise during the call (the noise is also to be heard by the call receiver - person on the phone).

Phone: Meizu Pro 5 (with UBPorts).

Hi, I have just installed UBPorts on Meizu Pro 5. It works great. I can also do 'adb shell' The only trick is that first time after you switch dev mode it asks to allow computer to connect on the phone. You have to accept message on the phone. After that you can connect with adb shell.
Thanks for great new system!

Hi, I have finished polish translation. I can also do Dutch during the weekend (if I manage to convince my daughter to help me with).
How am I supposed to commit it? Shall I make pull request or just push to repository?
