    • RE: Live Now !! How To Port Ubuntu TouchTo Your Device!!!!

      Hello ! I just finished watching the Live-porting session of Halium on FP2, this is awesome to see the process behind the scenes ! πŸ™‚

      I get a little lost on the kernel-backporting part, though πŸ˜‰

      Is it possible to test the new image on my FP2, and how? I'm really curious how the new halium-7.1 port change FP2 stability...

    • Access to the old wiki

      Hi !
      Half year ago I did a wiki post on carddav synchronisation.
      Now the wiki redirects to the docs.ubports.com, this wiki page is not anymore accessible...
      Is it possible to access the old wiki, so I can convert the article to RST and commit it to the docs?

      Thanks,
      Olivier

    • RE: Gain more real users and user experience by supporting multi boot like EFIdroid with Android

      @jjurgen @elastic Hello friends and nice Sunday πŸ™‚ I watched the Community Update 21 and the team was asked about a possible support for a multiboot solution (minute 40 in the video). They answered that this is already possible with kernel patches but it is difficult to maintain. As they are focussing on Anbox for the "Android apps one cannot do without" they hope multiboot will not be anymore necessary...

      However, on the comments below the video, user Martin Kozub said the following:

      Just as mentioned in the video dualboot with Android is possible but it can even work with the regular Ubuntu Touch recovery. See this manual for MX4 (but it should be possible to adapt for any device) https://iubuntu.cz/dualboot-mx4.html

    • RE: Gain more real users and user experience by supporting multi boot like EFIdroid with Android

      Hello ! That is a good experimentation, and having a working multi-boot can be a great added value πŸ™‚

      From the Fairphone forum, it seems that the order of installation could be crucial! Quoting @z3untu :

      It 100% doesn’t work as a second rom right now. It could maybe work, if you install EFIDroid (from Android), create a second rom (from Android), flash Ubuntu Touch (via recovery/fastboot), put the boot.img from Ubuntu Touch into the correct location (don’t know where right now), flash the boot.img from EFIDroid and then theoretically it could maybe work.

      Ubuntu Touch as a secondary rom isn’t supported yet but I meant that it might work as the primary rom.

    • RE: Wireless convergence on FP2 : black screen

      Thank you for your answer, @WLBI !
      I find quite funny that Ubuntu needs a Microsoft device for convergence πŸ˜‰

      Anyway, as you also first tried with an incompatible device, it seems that the protocol is not as universal as I initially tough...

    • kernel 3.4.113 now available for FP2 (LOS 16)

      Hello !
      This message just to inform you that Chris Hoffmann (main porter of LineageOS for the FP2) just proposed us to test a newer kernel (3.4.113, compared to 3.4.0 on official FP OS) on this topic of the fairphone forum. πŸ˜ƒ

      As Marius always say : new developments benefit to all OS, so I'm wondering if this newer kernel could benefits to the UBports project?
      Could it be safe to try it "as it is" (boot.img) or is it unlikely to work?? (e.g. if some specific patches are needed for UT?)

      /!\ I didn't tested it on Ubuntu Touch - proceed at your own risks /!
      Olivier
      EDIT: source code is here (I think this branch)

      Today in Youtube suggestions I say this "pre-UBports" video, showing an elegant dual-boot app on a Nexus device. Installation instuctions can still be found but as the repo was last updated in 2014 I seriously doubt this can help us somehow... πŸ˜‰

      @007fred50 said in Fairphone 3 (FP3):

      Nice it works now ! thanks

      Hello Fred! So you were able to downgrade your FP3+ to Android 9 then install UT GSI; and Ubuntu Touch is working on FP3+?

      If that is the case it's nice, it means we can develop a unique image for both FP3 and FP3+ πŸ™‚

    • RE: Q&A 44 This Saturday 16/02/2019 @ 19:00UTC

      My question:
      Is the halium-7.1 UT build for FP2 that was set-up during the live-porting-session could be made available for enthusiastic FP2 testers like me ? πŸ™‚

    • RE: Access to the old wiki

      Thank you ! I converted it to "DAV.RST" and proposed a commit πŸ™‚ https://github.com/ubports/docs.ubports.com/commit/d4e2bbb77e9a4a0d59f9a5d0916eada74ac84155

      Does it need to be validated by someone ( @UniSuperBox ?) to appear in the doc?
