Working fine so far on Meizu pro 5

@stefano
I think I have an old laptop with 16.04 on

I'll give it a try

Thanks for info

Hi i'm Jonathan from the U.K
I own a meizu pro 5 and use netrunner and ubuntu on my pc/laptop etc

career wise i install and test railway signalling equipment

started off in the early 1980's with sinclair zx81, spectrum ,vic 20 ,dragon 32 and BBC model b computers and the usual Atari 2600 and colecovision consoles

after a a fair few years i am getting back into it with linux and starting to teach myself programming

i aim to have a go at programming for Apps

Got it installed finally

I had to make a live usb of 16.04 and run it on my pc ,i then followed the instructions provided by @Stefano

Up and running with 16.04 now ..At last !!!

Great thanks to you all for the Advice

I'm thinking of purchasing a cheap nexus online which is locked to a providers network ,it's currently got android installed
My intentions are to port a version of ubports to it , would this then make the phone unlocked from it's network ??

Thanks

Revised command worked .. now installed and working

@zx81 pro 5

Up to update version 22 it was pretty abysmal a full charge lasting no more than 8-10 hrs max even with no use

since then it has improved vastly and seems to last a couple of days, not had the chance to see what heavy use would do

more than happy with it at the minute

Yes lesson learnt here too

which is the better channel if such a thing exists ?
or is it a personal.preference ?

Quite what it did and where version 3 appeared from I don't know.. anyway onwards we go

thanks

I have just switched to the RC channel and its downloading version 22 as I type

Its on the stable channel

hI
just received a mesaage "a new image is available"
on pursuing those further the update then presented me with 2 options : version 22 and version 3

which is the correct version ?
i assume 22 is the correct version and not 3 ?

Any ideas ?

I agree
Keep up the excellent work

@marathon2422 just seen that

keep up the good work

After the recent sail book update I have found that messenger is not bypassed anymore and just goes to the "install messenger page"
hopefully this will be restored in the next update ?
