Hello again my Dear Friends, @Josele13 and @beyolf and sorry for my late answer - I was massively looking for the 8GB miatoll and I hope to finalize the purchase soon

---

Dear @Josele13, thank you for having underlined the hardware differences of the 4G vs. the 5G devices

26). Now I'm hundred percent sure which smartphone to buy/avoid

27). Fortunately, I haven't bought the wrong phone. Thank you again for your Great Help

---

Dear @beyolf, thank you very much for your Warm Welcome - it's so kind of you I feel so happy and really honored to meet you, the UT Focal port for miatoll Contributor

28). Big Thanks also to you for having mentioned clearly that the 5G version is not supported by UT at the moment, in order to avoid it now.

29). My Enormous Thanks also for your wonderful helpful attitude which makes me and other potential UT Users to approach the Ubuntu Touch Adventure more easily

30). By the way, could you maybe share some YT links to the films where the UT @ Redmi Note 9 Pro are presented, please ? As an UT Ambassador I would have a Great Help/Tool to promote our Great Phone System, as I really want to share the best of what I/we have

31). Dear @beyolf I also wish you Luck - both with UT Development/Porting, as well as in your private life - God bless you!

I wish you All the Best, thank you in advance for your further feedback and kind regards~~ Piotrek~~pe3no.

Dear UBPorts Users / Developers,

I'm a father of two boys and they strongly claim to have smartphone(s) so:
1). I've been continously supporting UBPorts via Patreon since 2019-02-04 and would like to continue that way
2). I bought 3 different phones that support UBPorts.
3). I managed for the moment to install UBPorts UT 16.04 OTA-11 at Bq E5 HD.

... and now I have a question, how can I achieve the following :

4). I want to have an 8-digit pin to access the phone using the "simplified" (0-9) keyboard. AFAIK the 0-9 keyboard does not allow to insert pins composed of many digits, correct? On the other hand, there is the "full keyboard" where I could set an 8-digit password but it isn't comfortable as the "simplified" keyboard, which has only 0-9 fields.

5). At the same time I want to have the Ubuntu Store blocked/secured with a separate 26-character password which allows to install software, as when you install software at desktop, doing "sudo apt-get install xxxxx".

6). Finally (if I haven't forgotten something - please be patient), when my child creates/changes the PIN, I want to have the possibility to access the phone with my root password and change/reset the PIN.

Could you please tell me, if this is already available and how can I do it, if so?
If it's not available "out of the box", how could I do it / hack the phone to do so?
If hacking is not possilbe, would it be possible to ask the Developers for such a Feature, plese ?

Thank you in advance and kind regards, Peter.

My Dear Friends, @Keneda, @Moem and @DPITTI

35). I would like to thank you for your Great Help and all the UBports Knowledge you were so kind to share with me

36). I managed to find the 5.1.3.0A Firmare for Meizu PRO 5 here: http://firmware.meizu.com/Firmware/Flyme/PRO_5/5.1.3.0/cn/20160130134300/50c60f50/update.zip

37). Therefore, I would like to mark this Topic as [SOLVED] - in the title or in another way but I don't know how to do it... would you give me a hint, please?

I wish you All the Best, thank you and kind regards~~ Piotrek~~pe3no.

Dear @tigerpro,

Which exactly Note 4 version should I buy to support you?

Is "SM-N910P" the only that you support ?
I can see that there are different models called N4: SM-N910S, SM-N910C, SM-N910H, SM-N910L, SM-N910K.

Kind regards and good luck, Piotr.

Dear @Luksus,

I successfully installed UT20.04 devel-14 @ X605L 4/64, using ubports-installer - thank you very much for another Great Step and Congratulations!

Kind regards~~ Piotrek~~pe3no.

Dear @DPITTI, @Moem, @Josele13, @MrT10001 and @Lakotaubp, thank you very much for your Valuable Feedback

15). Dear UBports Friends, I'm sorry that I unintentionally caused such a discussion... I consider all of you and me as one big Ubuntu Touch Family and thank you once again for each your answer!!! I want to say that I value very highly the Great Help and the Efforts of All of you - Ubuntu Touch Developers, Porters and Users!!! You offer your Valuable Time and share your Expert Knowledge and this helps to make UT more and more popular

16). Dear @DPITTI, thank you for sharing your Tips related to the installation gotchas, in case of UT 20.04@XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro . Now I understand that I need to be aware of these constraints and I'm going to prepare better for the installation ...

17). Dear @Moem, yes I'm still unsure if there exists any UT20.04 compatible XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro which physically has 8GB of RAM, which I consider to be one of the Key Factors related to the good Performance of Ubuntu Touch. As an Ubuntu Touch Ambassador I would like to promote our OS, showing the best possible User Experience, and to achieve that, 8GB of RAM would be better than 6GB...

18). Therefore, I'm still trying to understand if the 8GB of RAM shown here: "https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/excalibur" are correct or not?

19). The same question here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/joyeuse/
Is the maximum 8GB RAM shown here meant as the physical amount? - are there really available such XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro Phones, compatible with Ubuntu Touch 20.04?

20). Dear @Josele13, sorry if I haven't explained what I meant clearly enough... Let me explain once again... I do not have any XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro Phone at the moment. I was about to buy one this Saturday, as I described above The Seller was presenting it as 8/128GB one. But when we checked in the Androind, it was showing "6+2 GB" of RAM and not simply "8GB of RAM", as I would expect. Further googling explained that Xiaomi is using a Technical/Marketing Trick that their XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro Phones have physical 6GB of RAM and additional +2GB or Virtual Ram is offered, but these +2 GB are Virtual/Fake, based on HDD space assigned for Android.

21). That's why I create this Thread, to understand if there exist any version of XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro that would have 8GB or RAM but I mean the physical amount, not any Virtual/Fake 6+2 GB of RAM...

22). Back to your concern, Dear @Josele13 - yes, I assumed that the XiaomiRedmiRedmiNote9Pro5G is probably NOT appropriate for Ubuntu Touch 20.04, unless any of you, my Dear UT Friends, would say something different (?) I mentioned that phone because the 5G variant of XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro seems to really have the physical 8GB of RAM and 256GB of HDD, which would also be nice to have in an Ubuntu Touch Phone...

23). Dear UBports Administrators/Moderators, would you be so kind to correct the "Redmin" to "Redmi" (or even to "Xiaomi Redmi"), in the title of my thread or to give me a hint how I could correct it myself, please? Sorry that I haven't noticed this when I created my post...

I wish you All the Best and thank you in advance for the clarification if the physical 8GB or RAM XiaomiRedmiNote9Pro models are available for UT 20.04 or the maximum is the 6GB - kind regards ~~ Piotrek~~pe3no.
