Video decoding is now fixed!!

@suoko Distro?

You should try this one instead: https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install

@danqo6 Can you try to upgrade the firmware to the latest? I use this https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

Failed to boot

If your device's userdata partition is encrypted then unfortunately you'll have to format it, meaning you'll lose all your data.

To do so, goto TWRP -> Wipe -> Format Data (the button is in red)

After that reinstall Ubuntu and hopefully it'll work. If not please telnet and give me dmesg (put it on pastebin or something).

@bisaalz Please try to flash LineageOS 14.1 (just that, don't install Ubuntu), and reboot.

If LineageOS 14 boots, can you try to install Ubuntu again? Perhaps this is needed first, I have not updated my device firmware for months now.

@danqo6 Perhaps you could try to flash a LOS 14.1 rom first and see if LOS loads.

@bisaalz Format your /data partition as ext4.

@4htet Keyboard not popping up at Google page is probably a UBports error, the same issue is on Oneplus 3.

And read-only file system, you can try sudo mount -o rw,remount / to remount the rootfs as root.

But your language issue is weird, it could be a UBports issue unless someone tested it on official supported device.

@BlackOtton Is your data partition f2fs? If it is then change it back to ext4.

@4htet Make sure qemu-user-binfmt is installed on your host.
