@flohack When I renamed both files to .bak and then followed the steps to flash Ubuntu Touch the phone booted, gave the Google logo for a brief second, then entered the bootloader with the message "ERROR: LoadImageAndAuth Failed: Load Error".

@flohack From a fresh Android install renaming the files to .bak boots into Android with no issue.

@flohack Similar issue to before, after flashing and executing "adb reboot" the phone boots to the Google logo, sits there for 10-15 seconds, then enters a bootloop that eventually stops after 6-10 times in the bootloader with the message "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error".

dmesg -w did seem to see the device, here is a sample of the last few lines of output.

@foust No, the Nexus 5X is not currently a supported device. You can find supported devices here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/.

Here is a forum thread where the developer who was previously working on it mentions the issues that he was having at the time: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/971/nexus-5x-development/10.

@Flohack is this helpful information? I can check other things with some guidance.

@flohack In one of the last reboots it did show up under dmesg -w, before then nothing. This is the output I get:

[ 1406.708600] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 14 using xhci_hcd
[ 1406.861398] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4ee0, bcdDevice= 1.00
[ 1406.861403] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[ 1406.861409] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Google
[ 1406.861411] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: HT7B91A02053
[ 1438.401554] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 14

After that, I get a message in fastboot to the effect of "Slot unbootable".

No luck installing on my Pixel 2 (walleye). I started with the August 2019 9.0.0 factory image, installing from Debian 10. The system never booted into Ubuntu Touch after following @Flohack's instructions in the "Call for testers" thread.

I would get the Google splash screen for ~30 seconds-2 minutes, and then the phone would reboot ad infinitum (well past the 2 reboots threshold).

Any suggestions or success stories Pixel 2 (walleye) installs are appreciated!

@ragz I have used Ubuntu Touch on and off for the past year or so on different devices, although I am not currently using it (I am running CalyxOS on a Pixel 4a).

Phone functionality worked fine for me on an AT&T MVNO when I had my SIM card in a Nexus 5 and later a OnePlus 3 running Ubuntu Touch. The biggest hurdle to get over is the limited applications available on Ubuntu Touch.

Your best bet is to buy a well-supported phone (like a Nexus 5 for something cheaper, or a OnePlus 3/3T for something newer and more powerful), install Ubuntu Touch on it, and try it out.

I have a Pixel 2 I can test on

Is the app still available to download? I admit I am not the most familiar with GitLab but I can't find the click files.

@danqo6 Thanks for the info. This is definitely a great reddit app to add to the Ubuntu Touch catalog!

It seems to work pretty well on my Community Edition Pinephone, I haven't tested video playback yet.

I don't have a screenshot to share, but text is pretty small on the main page posts--going in to the comments for a particular post the comment font size is easily readable, but the post font size stays small. This may be more of a Pinephone issue than a Quickddit issue though, as I've noticed other apps displays to be pretty zoomed out (e.g. Axolotl) on the Pinephone.

ETA: No luck playing back a Youtube video in the app.

Unfortunately I don't currently have the coding skills to fork/update/maintain uReadIt, as it seems like a good base for a reddit app (and personally is quicker to navigate on my PinePhone than reddit.com in Morph).

Really this post is just a request for someone to take over maintenance and updates of the app and to see if others on the forum are interested in a dedicated reddit app on Ubuntu Touch.

Already noted in the issue tracker here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/-/issues/138.

@geekvine Any updates on sharing your personal build? With the PinePhone shipping soon I'd be more than happy to test the fixes you've implemented.

At best, this is a project that is still in early stages of development, so a physical device is still a long ways off.

At worst, this is vaporware.

Like @Keneda writes, I think it is best to focus on and support the true Linux phones that are shipping. I personally am excited about receiving (hopefully in the next month or so) the UBports Community Edition Pinephone I ordered.

Assuming you are talking about the initial installation steps, just long enough to get the phone to boot into the bootloader.

@dieharddan The phones are expected to ship in late May, per the blog post.

@dobey Thanks! I'll try that and see how it goes.

@Flohack I am having this issue even after freshly installing the devel branch of Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 5. After installing the Anbox boot image and restarting the phone I only have LTE connection but no WiFi connection. Any advice?
