My last information was that Ubuntu Touch was abandoned by Canonical and pretty much dead, which seems to be confirmed by the fact that the base image is 4 years old. But yet there are parts of the project still alive? Check out Wikipedia and Ubports Website Ubuntu 16.04.6 was released on 28 February 2019, so if ubports is pulling in upstream stuff that's not *so* far out of date, and 16.04LTS general support goes thru April next year, and extended/security support til 2024. Yeah yeah, I wouldn't mind if its a newer ubuntu base too, but it's not that bad... and I know very little, for all we know they may have a plan within the next yearh to up to 18 or 20... or maybe waiting for 64-bit libhybris, that' d be cool... For anyone running it, I'd be curious the result of: uname -a && lsb_release -a && cat /etc/os-release Edited June 30, 2020 by Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
altomes 7 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I would love to see this supported/maintained, I tried the image and while it was wonderful to try it was too buggy for a daily driver. But if we could get better support, I'd love to use it as a daily driver with anbox 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig 1,435 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Thanks much, thats awesome, looks like real ubuntu. and code box is [ code ] and [ /code ] without spaces. So is it possible to run gtk etc desktop apps, assuming they're made for arm/arch? Or are the gui apps limited to whats in their appstore? How bout appimages, snaps, flatpaks, any of those work?

_DW_ 628 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I did a full charge last week on Tuesday. I've still got 25% left I've been letting it sit idle no apps open except a terminal (accident) only wifi enabled. Did notice another bug the Last Changed info box just says N/A in the Battery Settings. Also it's not tracking the power drain usage 😞 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is really impressive although the system doesn't really do anything in this state, but RAM refresh and maybe some wakeups happened during this period. Anyway, the UBTouch for Pinephone has recently improved to last about a day if I understood well. The ~1 week capability of Pro1 is really good anyway - does it wake up on phone call in this state (does it ring)? Edited July 6, 2020 by VaZso Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah one thing to note here had no sim card in it as I transferred it to my other phone. So that may have helped save power. But it's good to know ubtouch isn't eating the battery when idle. Just realised I forgot to report back on messaging and calls my service provider is having issues so I think that was a red herring with phone calls and messaging in ubtouch its probably fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With both sim and WiFi active on LineageOs but without any real usage, it used about 50% the first four days of July (if you set it in Aeroplane mode much less) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well it's still going on 9% since I last reported now but I've looked at it a few times 😆 It's a shame the battery usage graph broken I'll see how further it get before messing was gonna try some standard apps on it see what happens. Any ideas on apps? bear in mind it's app needs to have wayland support I think (am sure someone will correct me on that!) Edited July 8, 2020 by _DW_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't even see kodi or retroarch in there, even sfos has those 😉 If it needs wayland stuff, maybe some kde plasma apps will work, like falkon browser? I'm very curious what kind of desktop apps work, disappointed if its wayland only tho. Edited July 8, 2020 by Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
claude0001 1,352 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The announcement of the Pro1-X suggests that UbuntuTouch could very well become a first-class citizen on Pro1/Pro1-X. So I assume that some development effort must have been going on on the side of the Ubuntu port. I wonder why there are no news on this. Is anyone on this forum following UBPorts development? Are there other sources of information? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cube48 51 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I was also wondering whether the Pro1 users will benefit from Pro1- x OS ports or FxTec will make these Pro1-X exclusive 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raksura 270 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Is there a list of what works and what doesn't with Ubuntu Touch on the Pro1? The initial message makes it seem like GPS navigation would not be available, for example. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been using Ubuntu Touch for about a week: Here's a report of what works and what doesn't: - OS Install process: almost perfect, a slight documentation issue for first time ADB users on Windows 10. ✔️ - OS Welcome thingy: Impeccable. ✔️ - Wi-Fi connection: Impeccable. ✔️ - Lorimi (the window manager): impeccable. ✔️ - The default terminal app: works well. ✔️ - GPS: does not work. That's an immediate deal breaker for me, but since I don't need to travel during our current quarantine, I'll test things out more. ❌ - Media player (for music): impeccable. ✔️ - Default web browser: impeccable. ✔️ - Mail application: there is none by default. The recommended one works just fine. ✔️ - Synchronization with Google account: impeccable (contacts + calendar). ✔️ - Calendar: works as intended, which isn't great (there's no event hub, so I can't easily tell what's about to happen). ✔️ - Camera: front and back camera seem to work. The flash also works. ✔️ - Charging: it charges, but the icon doesn't change to indicate it's plugged in. I don't know if that's intended. ✔️ - Flashlight: does not work. ❌ - HDMI output: crashes the phone. ❌ - Screen orientation stuff: almost perfect. ✔️ - Physical keyboard inputs: impeccable. ✔️ - Physical keyboard backlight: does not work. ❌ - Cellular Internet: does not work. That is also a big issue. ❌ - MMS: does not work. Yet another big issue. ❌ - Telephony: I had a very problematic issue on my first install. After doing a full firmware restore and a clean Ubuntu Touch install (didn't transfer previous home directory), things seem to be working. All in all: great OS, not ready for daily use on the Pro1 yet. I wouldn't consider Ubuntu Touch as being ready for use as a daily driver until it has GPS, cellular internet, and MMS working.
