I know this may sound a little weird, but today I flashed UT on my Mi A2 at the first try. Succesfully.
The only thing I did before was unlocking the device with fastboot oem unlock (and then follow the instructions on the device) and download the vendor image as the installer (0.8.8-beta, app-image) was suggesting. I had to give the path to vendor.img and that was it. I did not flash twpr, I did not downgrade to android 9, the installation went through without any issue and everything is working fine as far as I can see... Only the video capuring broke afte taking one single good video... hm . I'm on stable channel now.
thanks to everybody at ubports and the porters and everyone here in this great forum, hope this report is encouraging.

@unisuperbox Thank you to the entire team for all you do for this great project - thank you!

While watching you at the show, I could literally feel the burden you carry. I've felt that way before, but this time it was really clear to see and yes, to hear from you as well.
We normal users are greedy little animals, like children who always want more because it is so great what we are offered here, that's true.
But if we are reminded of that - and you rightly do from time to time - then we are also empathetic adults who know about the burden of your responsibility.
I want you to know that I am well aware of the weight of your responsibilities.
I probably feel as helpless as you do, because I can't do anything except a little communication and testing and some modest donations. But of course I know the situation, where everything becomes too much from my professional contexts as well. I think if you allow yourself that, the joy might come back. I hope it very much for you - and for all of us here. Good luck!

@messayisto I am totally ashamed to admit, that it was only a wrong password. I had to look inside my router to get that. So sorry ...
To repent, I will immediately donate something

Congratulations anyway to this great port, the OPO 5 is now my daily driver. And again thanks for your work.

@ubportsnews Would You be so kind and explain a little the affection of Daltons departure on the current projects and developments? I am not shure that I have understood enough of the structure of the different teams and so on... So it feels like an earthquake - is it one?

@Peter-Gamma there is support for many languages including german. so no problem to write words like grüezi, schächteli or löli

This is kind of a pull request, or a suggestion, no: a deep wish of mine!
In the legendary times of the N9 there was a game called "Heebo" by developper Mats Sjöberg. It was later ported by some people to Sailfish Os, because its totally open source. I love this game, you can download it here:
https://openrepos.net/content/hooddy/heebo
I wrote a mail to Mr. Sjöberg, and he answered that it shouldn't be too hard to port his game to Ubuntutouch. Unfortunately he doesn't own an Ubuntu Touch device, and without that it seems to be impossible to do any conversion.
He further writes: "The software and graphics are all open source, so if you know of someone who does know how to develop for Ubuntu Touch, I would naturally have no objections to anyone else porting it, and I would be glad to help in any way I can. In fact, the Sailfish and Android ports have been done by other people. I only created the original N9 (MeeGo) and Symbian versions."
So my question is: Is somebody here, who could port it? Unfortunately I'm not a developper at all, so I cannot do it, but if I could help, I would!
Thank You for listening.

Wouldn´t it be a good idea to withdraw or lock the latest version of the ubports-installer due to all the issues reported all over the different sections of the forum? just a question... I´ve been reading such a lot of problems and answers advicing to take an older version. So I find it easier to withdraw the actual version so taht not so many people running in trouble with it.

@nauvpp Hi!
as keneda wrote in your other post it is not good to lock the device again. Have a look here:

and here:

@3t_ed I am such a happy UT user, too.

There is an unofficial unlock-Tool:
https://xiaomitool.com/V2/
which worked for me on linux.

I also had to do the Ubuntuflashing using the UbportsInstaller twice... but now its kind of great!

@danfro thanks!

@deathmist hello!
Ae there plans to add VoLTE for the device?
Best regards

@UBportsNews Now that Marius has got VoLTE working on the Fairphone 5 (Applause! Applause!!, hurray!!! thank you @mariogrip) : What's next? How complicated will it be to implement the function in other devices and will VoLTE make it into Noble or even yet Focal?

@mariogrip That sounds awasome! Should the testing be on a Fairphone 5 -?

@peat_psuwit Device is Oneplus 5. After loosing network (for example in tunnels or so) it comes back much slower than in ota 5. Sometimes I have to switch on and off flightmode to get it back. Maybe.some kind of regression?

@AppLee Thanks!

@UBportsNews Hello and thank you for the q&a!
Can someone please explain the news about VoLTe in more detail? What wll happen next, is there a plan for implementation? And which devices will be able to do this?
with many thanks for all your hard work on it

@MrT10001 To he honest, I found out that it is not a N10 but a AC2003. So I decided to give /e/ os a try for this device. It took me hours and was quite a mess, but in the end I succeeded.
Best regards

@MrT10001 Thank you very much for your kind help. I managed to unbrick the phone! Thank you.

@MrT10001 Following @Timespansoul s advice I borrowed a laptop with windows 10 on it. Installed the qualcomm drivers (obviously the correct way because device was detected by device-manager under ports as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008), installed android platform tools, and downloaded msm download tool (it was in avicii_14_E.04_200716.zip) Then I set the device in edl-mode and connected it, but msm tool does not recognize it, it always shows "waiting for device" and no download is happening.
What did I do wrong in the process, any advice is very appreciated.
