Are you sad that you missed Jan Sprinz' talk on UBports at Ubucon Europe 2018?
Then rejoice!
The fantastic people from NerdZoom (a German Tech Blog, audiocast, and youtube channel specializing in GNU/Linux) were present and recorded a nice video of the talk especially for you.

Attention UBports Community!

As UBports quickly grows, we need to know the clear answer to the question "Who is our audience?" so that we can develop our community and Ubuntu Touch correctly. Thankfully Querida, a member of UBports Marketing, has decided to do her International Business and Languages Bachelor thesis on this very topic for her graduation semester. So with your help we can all benefit from her hard work!

We ask you to kindly take about 5 minutes of your time to fill out this survey.
http://fontysfeht.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1AgS42j1S950aGN

To thank you for your participation, we'll be sure to publish the detailed results of this survey on the forum so you, too, can know more about your UBports Community.

Thank you for your help, and Querida thank you too!

Please note that from today any post in the Support section asking about New device ABC will be moved to Off Topic and locked. The Support section is for just that, support for issues with current devices and apps.

The list of current devices can be found here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ and a list of potential devices here https://pad.ubports.com/p/r.fbf463250adef36ec3bc33a7f5f6be93

If you are interested in creating a port please read this https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html and have a look at the Porting section of the forum https://forums.ubports.com/category/33/porting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Is your on-screen keyboard underperforming?

Well add some fuel to its fire with this brand new Ubuntu Touch tutorial about the thing you didn't think needed a tutorial:

Hey there, UBports! We just heard a little secret...

...Someone said that Linphone has just landed in the Open Store.
It's Ubuntu Touch's very first dedicated SIP app which allows VOIP calling - now!
In fact, you can even use it to make regular telephone calls, too!

You can create a free account -right in the app - and start calling other Ubuntu Touch users and anyone else who can use the famous Linphone software and services.

Join the party and keep up the good work!

Special thanks to @cibersheep and @bhdouglass for all the endless hours of work on this app.

I totally agree with @doniks your engagement and responses have been excellent and very much appreciated. Really enjoying reading this thread.

I refer once again to what has already been stated by Florian

[Forwarded from Florian Leeber]
I am fully against any cooperation with Huawei sorry to say. As I said yesterday in the supergroup: No we wont ask for this. Huawei is in a very political discussion and the foundation needs to stay neutral. We will not endorse, recommend any or cooperate with companies that are under the impression of political influence.

I think that really puts an end to this thread so am going to lock it. There is always Off Topic if needed.

@Aircooled This is our porting thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3702/yu-black-garlic and the port has really only just started having a quick look. Your best asking there but please keep in mind these port are very device specific so a clone very well may not work because of that. As your device is not on our supported device list I will move this to OT for now. Thanks.

@Flohack Sorry not sure what you mean. It's just that @manland has set it up using librspot which will not work with the free account that's all.

@yeke_yoke I had no issues with mint ( not that that helps)are you trying the .deb or snap installer. Try rebooting phone to recovery and clearing cache and all you can then choose the wipe option on the installer

Edit: There are a few reports of success with the Appimage installer like this one https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3826/ubuntu-touch-won-t-install-on-oneplus-one-apparently-successful-install-won-t-boot-up/13 Might be worth a try.

@yeke_yoke What OS are you using and what happens, have you tried different usb cables and or ports?

@yeke_yoke Phone in normal mode does

adb devices
in a terminal show your device? If yes try

adb reboot bootloader
Then
fastboot devices

If that shows your device you should be ok. Any errors need to be sorted

@Moem Hello again and welcome. Let me know if you are still having issues.

@yeke_yoke Just to check all the obvious done, dev mode on, bootloader unlocked(oem unlock) MTP/file transfer mode on, usb debugging and permission for the adb connect granted.

@jojuma Well done. Could you please mark the post as solved using the Topic Tools button. First choose ask as question then mark solved. This will help others.Thanks

@joe Is the account the free one? that does not work it needs to be premium.

@w0lf3n Well done for sticking with it and getting it done. Enjoy

Can you please mark this thread solved. Use topic tools, ask as question which marks it unsolved then do the same again to mark it solved. This will help others searching for similar issues.
