It's normal that you cannot install ubuntu-touch on your nexus 4, if you don't have the tool to flash.

1. Please install the required tool on your ubuntu desktop/laptop

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash phablet-tools

2. Reboot your Nexus 4 into fastboot mode and Connect your device with an USB cable to your computer.

3. Flash your device using this command: (NOTE! This will wipe your phone!)

sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=mako \
--channel=15.04/devel --bootstrap

As mentioned on this page : https://ubports.com/page/get-ubuntu-touch
[Nexus 4 General] atahanali_57:
Cant we install it from Windows 10 desktop/laptop.
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
Yes you can install from windows, the .exe installer is the following : https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/download/0.1.7-beta/ubports-installer.0.1.7-beta.exe

You might have to install the windows/android/adb drivers required for your device.

You can also try the appimage, which embeds everything for linux.

the link : https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/download/0.1.7-beta/ubports-installer-0.1.7-beta-x86_64.AppImage

then Make the AppImage executable https://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-make-an-appimage-executable/80

Then run the file by double-clicking

In both case i enclosed some screenshots
[Nexus 4 General] ze7zez:
Thank you. Very cool thread.

Currently on my Nexus 4 with Stock ROM is installed Ubuntu Xenial.

I used Linux Deploy 2.0.2-223.

Thanks to that I have both android and linux.

In android, I open GUI through VNC viewer, and in Windows via TightVNC 1.5.2.

Do you see the possibility of using Ubuntu Touch and Android via dualboot / multiboot or anything else?
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
Thanks for the information i didn't know about this tool.

Yes you can run with multirom android and ubuntu touch for testing in parallel. I modified the multirom .apk for that : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72455220&postcount=2140

I mentioned testing as multirom is not supported by the community and sometime (happend twice in 2 months) the ubuntu touch upgrade breaks ubuntu touch boot due to some incompatibility.

Are the work for Mako continues?
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
Yes the OT3 just landed on Mako : http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubun...ith-own-push-notification-system-519089.shtml

It's now possible to try ubuntu touch 16.04:

https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/How-to-install-Ubuntu-Touch-16.04

Mako is supported, i just tried it. Not yet a daily driver.
[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
[MENTION=2779188]slash.tux[/MENTION] are you maintainer for Mako? Not sure how to track progress..
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
To get the latest new, you can follow : https://ubports.com/blog/latest-news-1 or join the telegram group.
[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
Thanks slash.tux, but I meant the progress specifically for Mako, if it still persists.. Maybe I should track some commits on GitHub, I don't know..
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
The limitation currently are coming from the OS not the phone support, especially on Mako everything works. As soon a major update lands on ubuntu touch Mako is getting it.

The next improvement specific to Mako will be the modification of the kernel to welcome anbox, it might happen if somebody follow the work done on the main devices.

What do you except as progress specific for mako ?
[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
If nobody follow, would you do it? That is why I asked if you are maintainer.

Anbox, yes, and Snaps support also. Not sure if it possible.

Actually, I'm wonder what keeps Mako in 'legacy' state, and if we could change it.
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
Because the developers are not so many and they cannot support officially so much, they are taking care about multiple stuff invisible for us, like the servers, creation of the website, Halium project, migrating to 16,04, building a push server etc ....

Another limitation for the mako to come back on top, is its ram qty. Ubuntu touch tends to go toward the convergence and more ram is better to run desktop app on your phone.

Anyway even being legacy ... they still get updates : http://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/16.04/devel/
[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
Thanks. But I thought the limitation for Mako is that it's kernel is too old

PS:

not really interested in running "desktop apps" on phone indeed. So I hoped at least for usual smartphone needs Ubuntu touch wouldn't be more hungry than Android
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
yes correct, but that's valid for all the phone... the Nexus 5 as core device is neither new. Everything needs backport to the kernel that why they cannot focus to all phone, but pull request are more than welcome.

With 16.04 lts + mir .029 now it's possible to run some kde application, still in developpement but within some months we should more about it.

Latest community update today : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOLji6g3ONc
[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
Hm, I thought they do not backport to kernels, but the kernels must be just fresh enough to support Systemd, Snaps, Anbox.

Or you mean even Nuxus 5's kernel too old to support all these features, and they have to backport them one by one, which is time consuming?

If so, any chance these features will be back ported for Mako also?
[Nexus 4 General] dsbnz:
has anyone tried installing from ubports installer on mac os?

the installer app starts, and detects the nexus 4. when i continue it reboots phone into fastboot mode, but nothing else happens?

any ideas?

P.S. Recovery is latest TWRP, and phone is running NitrogenOS, phone is Unlocked (Bootloader).
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
In any case the kernels are freeze to a specific version due to the blob, so any kernel will need patch to support these new features. Each feature as to be backported to each kernel, so it's time consuming.

My feeling is if the N5 is backported with there feature, should be doable to do it on the N4, but i cannot guaranty it

From what i've read, i would bet that your mac doesn't have the correct adb driver. However i not using this OS so i cannot help.

If you want more support please joint the telegram group of ubports : https://t.me/ubports you will be redirected to a special group to assist you during the installation.

A teaser Anbox on UT :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdiIwXK2ssQ
[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
Thanks slash.tux. I wonder what minimum kernel version needed to support all these new features out of the box?
[Nexus 4 General] doniks:
Off the top of my head, I think all UT devices have a 3.4 or a 3.10 kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] dataghost2014:
i wish there were some generic images for devices like ulefone, this would be sweet
[Nexus 4 General] zion44:
I would like to ask if it's easy learn how to use this kind of os?

[Nexus 4 General] fw190:

[Nexus 4 General] bam80:
Hello!

I'm interested to return to Ubuntu Touch again, hope I could use it as daily driver already.

Any chance to port Xenial 16.04 to Nexus 4? Does somebody working on port for our device?:fingers-crossed:

Just installed it :)
[Nexus 4 General] ze7zez:
After installation, you may need to change the default system font size.

This is not available in Ubuntu Touch. Download the UT Tweak Tool application from OpenStore

and change the Normal Text = 18 to another in the Scaling option.

You can test the setting or make a change right away and Unity 8 will be restarted.

From the OpenStore, you can download the Document Viewer for opening Open/Libre/Microsoft/Office documents.

Unfortunately, almost 170 MB is only for viewing documents, without any editing.

There is a very big problem with recording audio.

The camera records the image, but no sound is heard.

Recorder from OpenStore instead of sound from the microphone records strange modulations.

I haven't checked the Ubuntu Touch uninstallation on Nexus 4 yet.

For ease of use.

Take screenshots via Vol- Vol+ both simultaneously.

Scrolling the terminal screen with two fingers or after a long tap on the right edge of the scroll bar.

==== edit ====

During a prolonged and subsequent attempt to download libreoffice to the Libertine sandbox,

the phone was blocked, probably after overheating.

Only a long hold of Power caused a restart.

At this point, I decided to finish the adventure with Ubuntu Touch 16.04 (OTA-11).

I confirm that the uninstallation described above is working properly.
[Nexus 4 General] green repairs:
technically 'installing' an operating system is very easy to. Either the hardware manufacturer doesn't want you to install that operating sytem on their hardware. as for google nexus. The problem now is the 'vaporware' or expired software since ubuntu touch was launched in2013 and 'abandoned' by ubuntu in 2017 due to lack of interest. The only reason someon would want to install ubuntu touch on a phone is it's portable computer and want a alternative to 'google' android ecosystem. you know .people want choice and variety. in life. ...you fool if google android is the only game in town, google has basically have no regard to app developers etc. or it's users. why because it can. you have NO choice. no competition is bad for any industry, you get no innovation and all profits don't go to r&d. why would they need to innovate with no competition.

all you telling the computer to do find file and load it...how hard is that !

lots of 'bogus' software that you download from ubuntu and it doesn't .. you've just wasted 2 hours of life. 1000 people wasted 2000 of their life think they can install or use the that vaporware. or do as it says it's says...it's doesn't load. doesn't work. ---it's called fraud when selling something that doesn't work. or 'vapor ware'

to install the installer for ubuntu you need an AMD computer with 64 bit?? did AMD pay for the development with their donations so they won't make any ubuntu version that won't work in inteal or 386 32 operating system. .32 bit is on older computers. technically it's not that hard to change in the code that it works in a 32 bit.. cause they don't want the installer to work in the intel computers?

so blocks and 'restrictions' just to install a operating system in a table or phone.--jumping around loops just to load program?
[Nexus 4 General] green repairs:
installing a new operating file in 'theory' is an painless and very easy 'procedure' the complexity is the operating system itself. not the 'installation process' also that zip file..is a 'official .zip file'? that filet doesn't even exsit in the ubuntu website..who is funding ubuntu. corporate funding from AMD ? seriously you know cost of these projects if they were no 'volunteers'

Is there a way to activate 4g mobile data on Ubuntu Touch by Ubports?
[Nexus 4 General] Puzzak:
I was able to remap UBuntuTouch repo to UBPorts repo. You can now use the attached app to install and dualboot Ubuntu Touch for mako (and other phones too). Just tested, works flawlessly
[Nexus 4 General] ze7zez:
Realy? What about audio in camera?
[Nexus 4 General] Puzzak:
I should've clarified in the first place, I was talking about installing and using the system. It works just like the direct installation using ubports installer, the only difference is that you are able to multiboot. Thanks for bringing that up, it is really a thing that is worth mentioning.

Doesn't work for me. When I reboot in recovery ode, instead of TWRP loading I get a generic Android Recovery screen with a few options - reboot system now, reboot to bootloaded, apply update from ADB apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, mount /system, view recovery logs, power off. Now sure how to proceed....
[Galaxy S 5 General] legomg:
We’re you sure to unplug and remove the battery? This is essential to ensure the phone powers down. If you just power down the phone will reset the recovery to avoid TWRP. You have to remove any power source to force a shutdown before it can reset. Please feel free to respond and I’ll be happy to help to the best of my abilities! :)

My phone is a Samsung S5 Active model SM-G870W

and I can easily rooted it or reinstall the stock file and put it back to original

and I've done that hump time but this TWRP file I just can't install it

to update this phone to a more recent software and basically install

an S8 or S9 software in it (mind you version 9 Pie would be OK0

and make this old phone a real beast.

I read somewhere about the OEM button which does not exist on this phone

whatever explanation they are giving to unlock it and make the button appear

all of a sudden is bs in my book.

Now please help me with this phone and the other guy by the same token

Is there another way I can get into this phone and wipe it clean and

boot it with thru the abd file or access the sd card or the internal

Hi folks,

I've had a look and hopefully I didn't miss any threads but I was wondering if it's possible to have two sims in my Mi5s Plus and have one of them set to ring and one of them always on silent. I'm running Revolution Remix currently but would be willing to swap ROMs for this feature alone. Or if there's a good app out there that would do it (paid app is fine doesn't have to be free) that would be good as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sloppyseconded:
Recently purchased a new, unlocked S8+ and got a new SIM from Verizon. This was approximately 2 weeks ago. Zero problems up until this week. I have been on 4 flights this week - before each flight, the phone works great. When I land on the other end, Verizon LTE pops right up, varying numbers of bars as one would expect depending on arrival airport, just like it would normally when I have service and can do everything. However, nothing. No texts, no calling, no data. Tried toggling various things, resetting, nothing for a hour after that, all the while I've got 3-4-5 bars and I can see the data arrows lighting up like there is upload/download transfer.

Finally, I tried "reset network settings" as a last resort and immediately my phone works like a charm. It has happened another 3 times since - every time I have flown, with the exact same results.

All domestic flights. While I'm not a guru, I'm not a complete halfwit either - this is my 4th galaxy and it's definitely not something I'm doing or have ever had problems with before. I fly all the time and never a problem like this until this week. Checked APN, it's right. Checked software update - have most recent.

Any ideas? I'm desperate. Have searched literally everything I can think of and no one else seems to be reporting this problem, not to mention it's difficult to describe in a Google search. About at my wit's end having to re-enter wifi and passwords every day, relearn Bluetooth devices. Theres no other way to truly reset the mobile data settings and get my phone to work that I've discovered. Please, please help.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] joelphilippage:
Hey. I was trying out some themes on my Nexus 5x after Andromeda was released but am having trouble finding a dark stock theme that works across the system.

What I have tried:

-Piereligio's Themes - These work great on about everything but the quick tiles. I contacted the developer, but he says it's a problem with the phone.

-Sai's Oreo Black Theme - This one's quick tiles work, but notifications are white or grey.

-Swift - This one's quick tiles also don't work.

-Orange Kitten Pro - Just tried this one and it is working great so far as long as you are okay with orange accent. No problems with system icons or notifications.

I'm curious to see what others have tried and got to work.
