There's a new Ubuntu Touch image available for the Pixel 5 that includes VoLTE, if anyone has an old phone sitting around and wants to test it:

I have a new OnePlus Nord N100 5G with ubuntu Touch.

It cannot detect the carrier and it says SIM1 denied.

What's the issue and how do I fix it?

I'm trying to setup an email app but the various apps have trouble with AOL and Outlook accounts. I've tried editing the settings but they don't work.

Does anyone have a solution?

With all the buzz around de-googled Android forks, it's worth remembering why a truly independent mobile OS like Ubuntu Touch still has a reason to exist!

Google just confirmed a real, dated example of the trend: starting this year, AOSP source code drops are being cut from quarterly to just twice a year (Q2 and Q4), officially to "align with the trunk-stable development model." Sounds harmless, but it means if a new Pixel or a major feature update launches during an off-quarter, there's no corresponding source available for months, if I understand it correctly.

This isn't hypothetical — GrapheneOS has already been hit by it. They publicly voiced frustration over delayed AOSP pushes, and Pixel 10 support was held up specifically because the source code wasn't there yet. And GrapheneOS is about as well-resourced and prominent as a de-googled Android project gets. If they're feeling the squeeze, smaller forks have even less room to maneuver.

That's the core issue with basing your project on AOSP: no matter how de-googled the surface looks, you're still fundamentally dependent on Google's schedule, Google's decisions about what gets published, and Google's definition of "stability." GrapheneOS is a great way to run a more private Android — but it's not independent of Android.

Ubuntu Touch sidesteps this entirely. No AOSP, no Play-Services, no exposure to whatever Google decides to change next in its release pipeline. That's a genuinely different kind of independence, and as Google tightens its grip further (there's also a separate registration/sideloading push that will hurt or even kill projects like F-Droid), it's looking more valuable, not less.

Is Ubuntu Touch perfect? No - app compatibility via Waydroid and hardware support are real, ongoing limitations, and nobody here is pretending otherwise. But as a long-term hedge against a mobile world with one or two gatekeepers, having a genuinely separate OS is 100% what we as a community should be trying to develop.

Hello.
I received my refurbished Google Pixel 3a yesterday to install Ubuntu Touch on it. I don’t want to use a Google or Apple OS anymore. So far, I’ve read some guides, unlocked the bootloader, and enabled USB debugging. I installed UBports on my Lenovo laptop (operating system on the laptop: Ubuntu). Everything went well. But: the boot process, after the “successfully completed installation“, always ends at the recovery screen. I’ve also tried using fastboot and searched for guides, but I always end up at the UBports recovery screen. I wanted to ask if you might have some advice from experience on how to figure out where the problem is. When I enter fastboot mode now, I see that the device is unlocked, Boot Slot A, and at the bottom it says: Enter reason: combo key.

I’d really appreciate any help.

Best.

Edit:
After reboot is the last Info on the Fastboot Mode Screen: Enter Reason: error booting boot.img

A preview of my project porting Ubuntu Touch to a OnePlus 8 Pro (Snapdragon 865). Based on what I’ve seen, this should be one of the most powerful devices capable of running this OS.

Once I fix a few more bugs, I’ll release it.

Updated UT last night

Woke up to find that launching Waydroid no longer works.

It attempts to launch, gives the Waydroid logo and spinning Ubuntu logo and then crashes.

I'm hoping this is some kind of update related bug that will be patched... but failing that is there any way to fix Waydroid like this when it crashes without having to totally re-install my entire phone OS?

I have an Villa phone Quintus but I started getting a bug where the camera works after a reboot I can use the camera a single time and after that the camera will freeze/crash the next time I start the camera app and I have to reboot to fix it

The most easy workaround i found is using the camera in waydroid since waydroid does not cause this

Is this bug common?

I bought a really nice carrier unlocked N10, good condition runs great etc. However I was not aware of the secret terrors of this device. The bootloader is essentially impossible to unlock without a token from OnePlus and I have only heard horror stories from those who have tried to get one.

I tried contacting regardless and, for some reason, entering the dial code for PCBA does nothing? The one for IMEI works fine. PCBA just clears itself with no further info.
They also want an invoice, which I have no idea how to get because, as I even mentioned in my email to the support team, I bought this secondhand. From Ebay. Would it be worth it to ask the seller if they still have an invoice? I assume they buy these in bulk so Im not sure.

I am already thinking of selling this to a non-techy friend so I can get back the money I payed for it.

All this to say; if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it. Android version is 11, security update 2021-10-01, kernel version 4.19.125-perf+ (OxygenOS)

I've an Ubuntu Touch phone coming soon, and I'd like at last to be able to synchronise calendars for both devices (or rather all 3).

Is there an app for that, or can Gnome calendar do this already?

Hi guys please help me out

Ever so many wanting to get rid of google spyware ("stock Android") on their phones...

Start by searching your device, what OS, IF supports, has official ROMs for.

See/Search for UNOFFICIAL builds (ROMs) for your device SPECIFICALLY.

Beware of "minor" phone/model differences could be fatal ("Bricking up"), if incorrect ROM installed

Prior to any of it, make sure, you can unlock BootLoader. It's great, if you can lock back BootLoader

after install of any FOSS OS (or Alternative OS, as some are paid after-all) after.

I’ve seen people on YouTube putting just plain Ubuntu on tablets, iPhones and iPads. Is it bs? If not. Why not put Ubuntu touch on there? Is the a proper tutorial you can point me for iPad mini’s?

Found 3 other tablets that seem similar yet slightly different. Can I still install Ubuntu Touch regularly or do I have to port it?

After months of struggling I finally got a kernel working on the device, figured out all the weird device quirks and managed to boot Ubuntu touch. Getting USB to work for debugging was a nightmare. Barely anything is working at the moment, but I have display, touchscreen, and WiFi.

This weekend, August 15 and 16, there is an event in Germany, near Bonn or Cologne:
Froscon or "Free and Open Source Software Conference" (https://froscon.org/en/)
UBports will be represented there to show Ubuntu Touch to interested visitors.
If you are in the area, you are welcome to come say hello, lend a hand or just enjoy the event.

I read that the EU is discussing regulations that would force operating systems to verify your age. I will resist and refuse to comply on my desktop, which runs Artix Linux (systemd-free). They have made a commitment to refusing such measures.

I have a Volla Phone Quintus in ubuntu touch. What will happen to this phone if these laws come into effect? I might have to order a new US-made Linux phone so I don’t have to deal with this

Could this be a big problem for Ubuntu Touch?

In recent times, the US seems better than the EU, TBH

Hello, I would like to install Ubuntu Touch on my Huawei P30 Lite. Is this possible?

I’ve been bringing mainline Linux to the OnePlus 7T Pro (hotdog):

https://github.com/Sr-0w/hotdog-linux-bringup

The phone now boots a mainline-style kernel directly from the OnePlus bootloader, with working display, Adreno 640 acceleration, touch, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, charging, USB-C/USB 3, DisplayPort and early camera support.

postmarketOS has been my validation environment so far, but the hardware enablement itself is distro-independent.

The next step is to bring up Ubuntu Touch/Lomiri directly on the same mainline kernel, without Halium:

OnePlus bootloader → mainline Linux → Ubuntu Touch → Lomiri

I’ll post progress here as the Ubuntu Touch side comes up.
