@tom I guess you will have to install/flash complete ROM for cm12.1 on Nexus 5 and then reflash Ubuntu OTA12 or latest rc-proposed on it.

@apple-muncy : Here are the links:

I went by the statement "This build is based on the ubp-5.1 branch (android 5.1/cm12.1)" and tried Android5.1.

But I think I should have tried cm12.1: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/15/what-is-ubp-5-1-1

@tom : My understanding is that the ubport software updates don't change AOSP stuff, at least not on nexus 5. @mariogrip can you confirm this?

On reading some comments on g+ page and on web, it seems OTA 11 and also the recent rc builds are based on android 5.1.1 and not android 4.4.2. We may have to update/reflash the base android version (though I couldn’t find any positing which instructs on updating the software explicitly) for nexus 5. After updating to android 5.1.1, still I see the OTA 11 problems like broken web browser and incoming phone calls not working but overall behaviour is better than with android 4.4.2.

@apple-muncy
Not sure about that. Today I received r233 rc-proposed update and although device image part is 20160603 but Ubuntu image part is 20161005.
So probably Ubuntu image part matters!

On removing double entries for strace in default.xml and doing below:

repo init -u https://github.com/ubports/android -b 4.4.2
repo sync -j10 -f

I'm getting all sorts of errors saying repo not found:
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/aosp/platform/external/safe-iop/' not found

Did you get these too? Can you list exact steps on what you did?

The 4.4.2 finding was from software version information on rc-build flashed on my phone.

@apple-muncy : You are right about -b udp-5.1. Looks like all the rc builds are from branch 4.4.2 for Hammerhead.

I should try below command:

repo init -u https://github.com/ubports/android -b 4.4.2

Will let you know how it goes.

@apple-muncy : I'm planning on trying master branch today. Will let you know how it goes. Did you try it yet?

@apple-muncy : I think "lunch" is part of code downloaded from repo. Executing build/envsetup.sh adds it to the path.

@apple-muncy I tried it again several times but no success. Looks like indeed those instructions have gone stale.

@mariogrip - can you help us out here?

I'm following ubports instructions:

mkdir phablet && cd phablet/
repo init -u https://github.com/ubports/android -b ubp-5.1

repo sync -j10

. build/envsetup.sh

I will try it again, may be I may have missed something. Thank you.
