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!

@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?

@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.

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

and here:

There is an unofficial unlock-Tool:

which worked for me on linux.

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

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

@dunbrokin You sometimes have to tab and hold a link to get the confirm dialogue.

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.

This is kind of a pull request, or a suggestion, no: a deep wish of mine! :baby_angel:
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.

its working since todays update to version 3.1.3

@Moem anyway its running again and everything s just going fine.

@Ida_ thanks for clarifying!

@CiberSheep since about more than 12 hours now...

@OlePeeps https://t.me/oneplusnordn10UbuntuTouch
is a good place to ask.

@AppLee thanks for clarifying, all the best to you!

Is document viewer working for you? on other devices?? Its not working on my Onplus Nord 10 at all though in todays Q&A it was mentioned by @AppLee as working well on noble...

I am shure there will be an update soon, the developer of the app was very reliable in the past...

@rdfrs It was behaving inconsistent under noble, so I decided to wait until noble is stable and then reinstall puremaps and see. So sadly I cannot say anything about the current state.

@Nocflounder This is exactly the behaviour before yesterdays update - did you install it already? After the update ( version 0.5.0) Dekko is opening Mails, at least on my device ( oneplus nird n10).
