@dobey I have heard edge channel was more unstable than development channel.

Concerning Xperia X, I have understood channel "16.04/community/fredldotme/devel" is 32 bits.
Are there any plan to migrate to 64 bits ?

@c4pp4
No, same for me.

Hi,

Unity8/Mir upgrade project started in December 2018 from I have understood.

What is the next big challenge for UT ?

• Migration from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 ?
• 64 bits full support ?

Hi,

Let's start. I am a new comer for Ubuntu Touch.

Why not posting a FAQ within https://forums.ubports.com/category/38/general with frequently asked questions ?
OK. There is a FAQ located at https://ubports.com/fr_FR/community/faq
But I don't think it is up-to-date and easy to maintain.

Here are the dummy questions that could be posted :

User :

• what is OTA 11 vs OTA 12 ?
• what are the different Telegram channels addresses ?
• how to report a bug
• what are RC, Stable, Dev, Xenial, ... channels ?
• Ubuntu Touch is based on which version of Ubuntu ? 16.04.1, 16.04.2, 16...?
• Are the Ubuntu 16.04 security updates merged in Ubuntu Touch ? At which frequency ?
• Is it 32 or 64 bits ?
• ...

Developper :

• what is edge channel ?
• how to port a new device ?
• how to develop a new application ?
• ...

Idea would be to have only one message with all the Q/A.

It's true that reading Telegram channels, we will find the answers. But it is very time consuming.

I believe it will help new comers to understand and participate in Ubuntu Touch.

What do you think ?

Hi,

Just wanted to share that I managed to install successfully Ubuntu Touch on my Xperia X which was running SFOS before.

Here are the steps performed :

• flash using Emma tool "F5121 34.4.A.2.107 Customized_FR 1302-3046 R4E User-Live COM" (Android 8.0) : kernel was not upgraded and mobile wanted to shutdown all the time
• flash in fastboot mode twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img for recovery
• boot in recovery mode and from twrp : wipe Cache, System and Data
• reboot (oops can't boot, stalled with Sony image)
• boot in fastboot mode and run UBports Installer 0.4.18-beta
• select channel 16.04/community/fredldotme/devel, Wipe Userdata and Bootstrap
• let the installation process run and discard any display on mobile
• and it worked !

OK. I have to admit I stressed a lot while performing the different steps .

Now, I am discovering UT on Xperia X and I am impressed by the work done on this phone !

For the moment, I have noticed following issues :

• front and back camera zoom are not working
• back camera autofocus is not working

Congrats @fredldotme !
