dazed and confused

So, i did tried all steps, seemed work fine, when suddenly stuck at the:

||||||||horevicht@Horebuntu:~/Downloads/TOUCH$ ./rootstock-touch-install ubports-touch.rootfs-armhf.tar.gz system.img --custom device_titan_devel.tar.xz

transfering rootfs tarball ...

horevicht@Horebuntu:~/Downloads/TOUCH$||||||||||

that's the f*ckin problem, just dissapear the "transfering rootfs tarball" at same second, and nothing happens. I'm trying to download and proceed with the preinstalled images that you talked about in a comment from behind, but i'm confused about it all, cuz my dream is to use the ubuntu touch daily:

1. Well, on the site from ubports, I cant click on the "link" for titan, what happened?

2. I tried almost every links (excluding Plasma Mobile ) from your AFH profile, last try is about to be concluded right away with preinstalled img, I'll be updating my question;

3. Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil, and I was in jail for smoking pot, so i'm a bit "downgraded" at the updates of our Linux/Ubuntu world

I just want some help on the tutorial to enjoy a dream of childhood, someone plz?

EDIT1 - preinstalled img worked, but openstore and OTA update don't work, dont know what to do

Camera doesn't save photos on internal storage/SD-card

My problem with the camera is that camera app opens and I could focus and do other settings with the app.

But when I try to take a photo it is not stored (- not on internal storage and not on SD-card). The screen becomes dark and only the rotating cycle is to be seen in the left top corner (indicating processing). This status stays until scope is changed. Changing back to camera scope the processing iseems to be killed and camera has initial status again. Finally the photo is not stored.

(However, I have no problems so far with storing other files (than camera photos) on internal space or on SD-card.)

The link to ubports-touch.rootfs-armhf.tar.gz is not working anymore.

Also, I cannot install ubuntu-device-flash on my 18.04 ubuntu. This means that both versions, xenial and the older version cannot be installed at the moment.

Can I use

./rootstock-touch-install ubports-touch.rootfs-armhf.tar.gz system.img --custom device_titan_devel.tar.xz

to install a current rootfs?

[G 2014 Android Development] Diegovz01:
Hi, anything new?

Just checking out the post and threads, I'm really interested in reviving my old Moto G 2014 (XT1063) but now without any Android ROM, instead with a different Linux based OS, I've tried installing Sailfish OS but without any luck ( after uncountable tries :(), I hope Ubuntu Touch works well but it seems development has stopped (roofs link is broken), that is comprehensible since the world is tearing apart right now. I hope everything is well and you come back someday. I'll be waiting with hype.

The device seems not to start with the last updates. It stuck at the start-display 'ubuntu touch .....' What can I do?

After flashing the image with ubuntu-device-flash I got the same result.

Jan 23: With the update from today nothing has changed. Same today Jan 26.

Jan 29: No success.

No este metodo de instalacion solo es para el moto g2 y al dia de hoy ya no funciona, cada port esta echo para un dispositivo en especial, si tenes un moto g5 plus, tenes que buscar dentro de los post para el moto g5 plus no para el moto g2
[G 2014 Android Development] Sanizol:
Hi, I tried the command for installing 16.04 (I assume that it is only that command you need to run, as Zarosky's guide needs only that command other than the instructions for installing he ubuntu device flashing tool, and when i try it it gets quite far), but when I try it it gets about half way through pushing "ubuntuimages/pool/ubports-ff588f14edd1cd8a7dd7934a8c94537c428a2338b8214dd12bfbffff6a981457.tar.xz" to /cache/recovery/ on the device, and then says it has failed because "no space left on device". What should I do? Is the cache partition on my phone not big enough? It seems to get the ubports recovery menu loaded. I am using a Thea but I don't think this error is anything to do with that? The page for Thea version of postmarketos on their wiki says it is "This device is *literally* motorola-titan but with an 4G/LTE modem (and some under-the-hood regulator changes, but DT manages that), so they use a commonized kernel package." so I assume there is a good chance of your Titan version at least running?

I assume the rootfs file for which the link is dead for vivid version is dead and is not a generic one that I can find somewhere else? So i can't install vivid anymore? Thanks for the port anyway, and for still continuing to work on it!

Greetings, a question, with which versions of the ubuntu operating system could this rom be developed without problems?

I am trying to work a device with similar characteristics, but that has android version 4.4.4.

create a post here to work the device

any guidance is appreciated
[G 2014 Android Development] walidham:
Did you changed your data partition type to ext4?

If you changed it for the first time, install any custom for your choice (cm-13, LO-14..) before flash UT

also when flashed ubuntu you must extract system.img and put the 3 files in same folder.

./rootstock-touch-install vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz system.img --custom device_titan_devel.tar.xz

Install CosmicOs without wipe data

[G 2014 Android Development] zitronenmelissa:
It didn't work for me, tried 5 times with no errors when flashing. I always thought /data partition is ext4 by default (?)
[G 2014 Android Development] walidham:
verif if your data partition is ext4 in twrp or cwm
[G 2014 Android Development] zitronenmelissa:
OMG *embarrassing*, I was so sure about having a /data partition formatted to ext4 by default, but it's not!

So, for all (like me) struggling with that: twrp ---> wipe ---> Advanced Wipe ---> tick Data ---> Repair or Change File System ---> Change File System ---> EXT4 ---> Swipe to Change

Be sure You don't set "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" in Settings (like me :D)

Thank you for your patience walidham - I will try again now :good:

Just one question, is there a way to have whatsapp on ubuntu touch? If yes, can you give me the instructions? Whatsapp support will allow me to make it a daily driver.
[G 2014 Android Development] Flohack:
Hello, my name is Florian and I am part of the UBports team. Frankly said there is no real good way to use WhatsApp on Ubuntu Touch right now. LoquiIM (http://loqui.im/) did successfully hack into the protocol, but starting on July 1st I think WhatsApp is again going to change their API and after that date also LoquiIM will stop working.

WhatsApp is also notorious for blocking 3rd-Party-Software very efficiently when they discover it, and/or requesting takedown, maybe even with legal actions, but this I dont know for sure.

WhatsApp is not interested in supporting an open-source platform since they would need to release their code in GPL and more important, they loose control over which data the App is collecting etc. So it will be hard to EVER have a client who is accepted by WhatsApp AND will run on Ubuntu.

2- reboot to recovery mode

3- run this command : adb push system.img /data/
