The other thing I'm missing here is a browser with solid privacy features. Or am I missing something?

Is there a way to install Firefox?

@Flohack

I get what you're saying.

However, even though I can imagine some degree of collaboration from the side of companies such as Spottily is necessary, and thus I understand it's cumbersome to create apps, not having a Spottify app is a deal breaker, for many people. It doesn't help with regards to creating a bigger community with more volunteers.

Yeah, it is.... I like it. The design is beautiful, and it works very well.

The only thing that is missing is Spotify, and that might be sufficient reason to say bye-bye again....

Okay, so...

It's a beautiful system, this Ubuntu Touch.

However, I'd like to point out a possible reason why this OS is not catching on.

When you want to install Spotify, by means of something called Libertine, you end up getting instructions written by someone who assumes that everyone knows how to do all sorts of stuff that most people don't know about. You need to get some software here (link) and software with instructions there (another link)....

Not everyone is a computer geek... I don't know what it means to go from "SSH to mobile"...

So, what about a plan with regards to dealing with this issue? Ubuntu (Canonical) usually gives these clear, step-by-step instructions. It would really help...

So, basically, unless I'm some sort of programmer, I can't put Anbox on this system, and install Spotify on my phone...

@Flohack

It worked out... there was an error message... it disappeared after several attempts.

At first, I was pressing the wrong button (volume up, instead of down) when I had to go back into bootloader.

Sorry for the waste of energy!

Thanks anyway...

Is it possible to reinstall the Android OS from scratch?

@ Lakotaubp

Thanks for your trouble...

I think something went wrong during fastboot...

ADB is installed. System-wide option: yup.

I'm on a Windows 10.

I did grant permission on the device, yeah...

(I've got the TRA under control!)

I'm having a very unusual potential case of TRA here... It's just dead.

Hello

I tried to install Ubuntu Touch on a OnePlus One, but now the phone is plainly dead... or maybe it's playing dead.

Something went wrong, and now the only thing it does is display an Ubuntu Touch startup screen, and I can get into fastboot mode, but then 'ADB is scanning for devices', but never finds it...

What can I do?
