Hi
Thanks for responding to my question. I bought a Pixel 3A phone so I can put Ubuntu Touch on it. The phone has not come to me with Ubuntu Touch installed on it. From what I understand I will be able to get Ubuntu Touch on my phone via a process where my computer and phone are working together with ADB on the computer and the ADB Daemond on the phone. So yes I need my computer in the beginning, right? On my Ubuntu computer I used the Synaptic Package Manager to install: ADB (along with: Android-libadb; android-libbase ; android-libboringssl ; android-libcrypto-utils ; android-libcutils ; android-log). Also, the process of getting Ubuntu Touch on a Pixel 3A necessitates that one get "Fastboot" on the phone. To get Fastboot the article I mentioned above offered a download for the computer. I guess the phone then gets the fastboot software from the computer??? I have the download, but Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager has it too, but an older version called: android-sdk-platform-tools-c 28,02+6. Have you heard of the software I mention in my original post?

UBPorts has some directions on how to do the install, but they are not complete. I have a new phone. It is barely out of its shipping box. I'm starting at square one. Does anything I mentioned above sound like part of the installation process that the UBPort's directions doesn't cover?

If people installing Ubuntu Touch on a Pixel 3A phone aren't doing what I'm doing, what are they doing? Do you have a complete set of instructions for me?
