What benefits do you expect for Convergence and Waydroid side from the adoption of Ubuntu 20.04 as base OS for Ubuntu Touch? Is there any particular feature we can wait for?

@jesta030 I would want to help too, if possible!

@luksus I would love to test the installer, but I truly need to keep my /e/ os installation working, because it's my main phone. Is it possible to "install" or "test" ubports beside /e/ os? Thanks in advance!

@stanwood Thanks a lot for your help, but ... what about Google services?

Hi all, I have a perfectly working OTA-16 on a Nexus 5 and I was wondering how to make Whatsapp working (since I can find a lot of video online about it), also considering that Anbox comes pre-installed since the latest update of UT.

Just to start, is it necessary to install microG and, if yes, which is the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance for your kind help,

Luca

@rocket2nfinity Hello Rocket, thank you for your reply, I was just wondering where this specification is ...

If it's missing, it should be added.

Thanks for your help, now everything is working and I just need to install microG

As specified in the wiki guide, I also opened a bug (here)

To summarize the problem ...

I followed the Android apps wiki guide after a fresh install of stable channel (OTA.15), Hammerhead (https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html).

Specifically, after following commands:

wget http://cdimage.ubports.com/anbox-images/anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
adb shell # connect from your host computer to your UT device
sudo reboot -f bootloader # 'adb shell' will exit after this command, the prompt will be back on your host
sudo fastboot flash $PARTITIONNAME anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
sudo fastboot reboot
rm anbox-boot-$CODENAME.img
exit

when the phone rebooted, and I used the following commands:

adb shell # connect from your host computer to your UT device
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo apt update

... I wasn't any more able to update the software. Looking at the Configuration panel there is no more evidence of any wifi connection (even the one I normally used before) ...

It also happened to me with the previous OTA. Is the any tips to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Any plan for a Ubports "gnome flavour" in ner (or far) future? Pure OS project could make this somehow easier ...

May I install Ubports even if I buy the Android version of the tablet? Are there relevant issues in daily usage?

Thanks in advance
