Ubuntu Touch OS for Fxtec Pro1

[order#10248 65]

I am not sure if it already had come to notice here in this forum: There is a funding campaign to have a professionally skilled developer working on Anbox container for Ubuntu Touch:

I think it is worth to be supported.
Anbox is kind of a container running an android environment so that native android apps could be run. Of course this could be more convenient than dual boot 😉

Cheers, Ulle

You are quoting a three year old reply - sorry I have zero recollection

"The F(x)tec Pro1 is not supported by the current Ubuntu Touch release."

First, off, warning... I have never installed UB Touch.  Also, I'm not clear enough on what you have already done to know if I'm just suggesting something you have already tried.

Looking at this page (I'm assuming you have the Pro1x):

https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/pro1x/

It appears to me you download an installer (links at the bottom of the page) to your computer and it downloads and installs UB Touch (presumably OTA-5, since that is listed as the stable version on that page).

Again, I may be making way too many assumptions, but if I were interested in UB Touch, that's what I would try.  But I am not planning on doing it.

At this point, I think your best bet is to seek support, maybe from @TheKit, on their forum (I haven't seen him here is a long time) and see if they can help you figure out what went wrong.

Again, if you have already done that, sorry.  I've got nothing else.

On discord they helped some guy install UBtouch manually after the installer didn't work for him either, basically following this how-to:

To get all the partitions required for flashing, you need a "devel-flashable" zip. Unfortunately, the last successful job of that kind at UBports was 9 months ago, and the resulting artifacts.zip is no longer available for download:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android11/fxtec-pro1x/fxtec-pro1x/-/jobs

So self-building the system partition image from an OTA, as hinted in the how-to above, might be the only way. For that the artifact.zip from the latest "build" job *should* be sufficient:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android11/fxtec-pro1x/fxtec-pro1x/-/jobs/7607090641

Disclaimer: I'm not using UBTouch myself. Ask on discord if you run into trouble. Regarding non-Android OSs, it's more active than this place.

@claude0001 thanks.

I eventually ended up compiling from source then manually flashing via fastboot.

Finally in Ubuntu!

The documentation / process needs updating. Newer builds. Better device detection. This is not user a friendly process for those unfamilar with the command line.
