@MrT10001 For some reason, and this is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen, once I rebooted my fastboot menu using 'adb restart fastboot', a list of new drivers came up and I didn't have the Fastboot driver installed on my Windows machine. I followed these instructions (https://beebom.com/fastboot-not-detecting-device-windows-10/), confirmed fastboot device came up with my actual device, reran UbPorts Installer, and now everything works fine. Completely bizarre.

So I have my device currently set in fastboot mode with the "Start", "Restart Bootloader", "Recovery Mode", "Power Off" menu options and Secure Boot is "yes" with Device State "Unlocked". But when I run UBports Installer 0.10.0 on my Windows 11 box with the ADB drivers installed, I get stuck on "Flashing firmware...", "Flashing firmware partitions using fastboot" where nothing happens and the actual install does not move forward. I previously wiped UT 16.04 on my phone using UBports Recovery. But regardless, I'm not able to get v20.04 installed on my OP5T and I'm not sure what to do.

This is so bizarre. I do it, install the ADB tool and Google Drivers, but when I reboot my phone after selecting OEM Unlock, it goes right back to "Device State - Locked" at the bottom.

I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu Touch via the UbPorts app on a Windows 10 machine. I get prompted to install Ubuntu Touch on the app and it reboots my phone where I now see a "Flashing Firmware Using FastBoot" message on the app but my phone is set in a bootloader mode with the options to "Start", "Recovery", "Power Off", or "Restart bootloader" and I see a message at the bottom on my phone that says "DEVICE STATE: locked". What should I do from here?

@C0n57an71n I don't have a particular reason. It's a personal learning exercise to see what Touch is capable of. It might not seem practical for a cellphone.

@AppLee yeah that's the problem. I somewhat don't know what I'm looking for. I have a good idea of what I would be looking for if I was working with Ubuntu on the backend, but I just don't know how that would translate to Ubuntu Touch.

Apologies for the verbosity. Basic animation on an Ubuntu phone. It can be an app but doesn't have to be. If an app is the only realistic approach, that's fine. Part of my struggle is figuring out what tools are available.

Not animated wallpaper. I'd be fine with the app but also a script with a cron job if that works better. I'm not quite sure what programming libraries would be available for both a script vs an app. I'm guessing apps would be more containerized and would not rather spend large amounts of time writing something from scratch if there's something that can be built off. It could be something as simple as a screensaver if that were possible with the Touch OS.

Hi, I'm searching for a way to create a simple logo that rotates on a Touch phone and I wanted to ask if there are any graphics libraries and/or development guides that would show me how. I know UT has undergone several major revisions and a lot may have changed since I last visited. I'm just trying to see if it's possible and how to easily do it if so. My programming skills are basic Python.
