From the Newsletter Sept 27th:

Hello again and welcome to the latest newsletter,

All things FP5 have moved along a lot recently with quite a few things fixed and working. These include the following

fixed vgrid units
adb, mtp and usb
Modem is up
Sound and video decoding works
vibrationaidl added to hfd-service
flashlight
auto brightness
mobile data and calls
GPS

Many of the parts for voLTE have also no been merged but have not yet reached our devel update channel yet.

Work is being finished to make the FairPhone 5 available on the installer and as we know many of you are looking forward to this port we will let you know as soon as it is available.

We intend to show the FairPhone 5 at the up coming Ubuntu Summit in the Hague so if you are there please come and look us up to find out more.

I am excited!

Also "and as we know many of you are looking forward to this port we will let you know as soon as it is available" . Meaning this forum topic has received a good amount of attention in the UT space . 4.3K Views is a lot lol.

Small update about Linux on Fairphone 5:
I saw that the UBports installer already supports the Fairphone 5! It offers postmarketOS devbuilds, for those who want to try postmarketOS

COOL!

Current state of the port:

@AppLee Hi. It still says: Something doesn’t look right. Your payment to this merchant can’t be completed using PayPal. Choose another way to pay.

Hello together!

I have a Fairphone 5 and really want to use Ubuntu Touch on it.I saw in the FAQ that support is potentially in the works.

I wanted to ask what the best way is to help with the Porting / Development and how to check the current Status on that Topic.

I can help with testing, donations and coding.
What ever the best way around this Topic is in this Community.

Thanks!

In "Ubuntu Touch Q&A 139" there is a "Fairphone 5" section which states: "Marius has continued work on getting FP5 to a usable state. Nice!

This thread started as a question about the state of things and has now become an information dump about UT and Fairphone 5 . Whenever something about this topic comes up somewhere, I will probably hear about it here first.

@Moem I am excited to to try UB-Touch. Sorry if it was writen unclear.

@CatWithUT Still the same.

@Inali In the Q&As you can see an FP5 almost every time. They probably just want to make sure they have something that works well on the release I can imagine. It seems to be running from what is visible and publicy shown. With a good working release (ideally with Waydroid) the FP5 with UB Touch would easily be a great daily driver and literally the best phone in the line up with official support!

Let them Cook. It probably will be great!

@AppLee Hi. I used Firefox and Chrome, I tried two or three times. It happens with any item/items in the shop. I think the attempts were a couple of hours apart.

When I get to payment and want to pay with paypal I get an error from paypal and the URL says:
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/shoppingcart/error?flowlogging_id=###########&code=INVALID_BUSINESS_ERROR
I censored the ID because I do not know if it is something private.

I just checked my E-Mails and found a Uboports Newsletter from February with the following Text:

*Fosdem 2024

...

Devices on display included a Bq Aquaris 5HD, just to show how far we have come then a OP5, PInePhone, PinePhonePro with keyboard case, PineTab and PineTab2, Volla Phone, Volla X, Volla 22, Volla X23, Fairphone 4 and Fairphone 5.

Yes you did read that right the Fairphone 5 was at FOSDEM, and it was running 20.04. Not unsurprisingly it got a lot of attention as you would expect. The port was only finished the day before by Nikita from initial work started by Marius.

...*

Very excited! Is there a timeframe in which we can expect a release?
