@Stefano , @Lakotaubp , thank you very for your replies!
Have another question though. Yesterday updated my OP3T to latest available version and tried to acquire my location using Pure Maps application. However even after 20 minutes waiting, Pure Maps still could not acquire the location (it has the permission, I double-checked). In the list of what should work on OP3, GPS is listed as 'working'. Does it really work? Are there any ways to make sure that it really works? Mb some console utility to access the GPS module and get a raw position from it as some RINEX file or smth?
Many thanks!

It works on my 3T. I set it up ages ago and can't remember how long it took to make the location, although I think it was quite a long time; maybe more than 20 mins! I opened the app just now and it displayed my local map so I tried to make a navigation search. In the navigation window of the app in the 'From current position' box the little spinner shows it is searching, but nothing seemed to happen. So I checked the phone settings to make sure location detection was enabled and found in 'System Settings > Security & Privacy > Location' that Pure Maps was on. But from the pull down menu of settings from the top bar 'Location Detection' was toggled off. Maybe it is the same for you?

After I toggled the second switch it did not take very long to be detected. Good luck.

@ernest Sorry can't help with this; it's way beyond what I can manage at the moment!

Incoming ringtone (OP3T): I've been updating phone daily and find that it generally works except for the first call after restarting the device. In this case I find that nothing happens, phone will not wake up but if you turn the phone on whilst still in the call then it works as expected. Subsequent calls to phone work ok.

Thanks for the tip @extraymond , that definitely might be easier! Looks a bit easier to get hold of too.

Will keep the info in case I need to go back and start again.

Notes on the installation of ubuntu touch onto a new Sony Xperia X

Prepared as thoroughly as I could in an attempt to avoid issues with the installer later on and followed instructions at the top of this thread.
Turned out I could not get the Androxyde Flashtool to run on ubuntu desktop 18.04, laptop 16.04, so updated the phone via repeated ota system updates to Android 8.0, build 34.4.A.2118.
Remaining steps were ok but the installer did not complete and phone ended up in some sort of a looping process.
Finally successful after a few days. Installing TWRP to clear caches was key (Thanks @Lioh!):

@Lioh said in Sony Xperia X (suzu/F5121):

Halium recovery does not clear the cache completly. For a new device it is necessary to install TWRP first after unlocking the device. It can be downloaded from here: https://dl.twrp.me/suzu/twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img.html and flashed in Fastboot Mode (Power on + VolumeUp = Blue LED) using:

fastboot flash recovery Downloads/twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img

Afterwards boot into TWRP and select Wipe / data, system & cache partitionen. Continue with the installation (OEM Binaries / UBports installer)

Question: Would it be possible to have this step of the process for new devices inserted into the post at the top of the thread?

Anyway, I now had UT on the phone but it had a serious battery drain issue. It was losing power even when switched right off overnight.

Long story short, ran the installer again selecting 16.04/community/fredldotme/devel this time to a successful conclusion. Was surprised to find: working camera, incoming ring-tone, openstore pre-installed and various other bits and pieces that weren't working on the arm64 version.

Battery still drains a bit quicker than it should but greatly improved. More research required.

Pine Pope, Pine Phine...next please!

@lionelb said in Ubuntu Touch Photographs:

@ziggutas The camera on the OnePlusThree is working to some extent. The 3T is only able to do screenshots of the live camera at present

That's right, and for my purposes that would be enough to promote the 3T to daily driver if it had a ringtone for incoming calls as well.

As you may know (from Telegram photography group chat a while back) I'm running a new Xperia X under UT as well; the idea being that one of these devices will one day replace my BQ E4.5. I prefer the X because it is new and it is also just the right size for me, although these are both great devices!

Camera not working on the X at the moment; the app crashes immediately on opening. I tried installing from terminal following instructions in the device thread which made a lot of progress: the app now opens but displays a block of multi-coloured squares instead of an image, so it's unusable for the time being.

Edit: Actually, photo camera now working on Sony X after installing the devel version of UT onto the device.

@Angela_92 Ah, great! That's excellent news, so glad you got it.

@Angela_92 I don't know. I think you need to see your device in fastboot, but it might be better to hear from one of the others who know a lot more than I do.

You did get the 'allow usb debugging' pop-up window on your device when plugging in to installer?

@Angela_92

What output did you get from fastboot devices ? Was it just nothing or no permissions?

@Angela_92

Did you start the installer before plugging in the device and did you get a pop-up window on the device asking to allow usb debugging?

As you now have a clean, but old, os on the device you don't need to select wipe on the installer. I don't know about the 'fastboot' tickbox but I left it marked by default .
