What Is Ubuntu Touch?

Ubuntu Touch is the touch-friendly mobile version of Ubuntu. This operating system is developed and maintained by UBports: An international community of passionate volunteers. This means Ubuntu Touch is 100% community driven and independent.

Ubuntu Touch - A Different Approach

Ubuntu Touch offers a completely different approach to using your smartphone or tablet than using other mainstream operating systems. The OS is built on Ubuntu, which provides us with a secure and stable base system used by millions of people across personal computers, servers, IoT devices and even the international space station.

The intuitive user interface allows you to access all of your phone's features by swiping from the edges of the screen to access your apps, tools and settings all with one hand and no on-screen buttons. It looks great and feels smooth.

How to install :​

1- Download this Ubuntu Touch Focal​

2- Backup your data, boot, vendor partition (system not needed) if you want return back to your current rom​

3- Format data partition (format to remove any encryption setting)​

4- Copy ubuntu-touch-bullhead-v02.zip in internal storage of your phone​

5- install ubuntu-touch-bullhead-v02.zip like regular ROM​

6- reboot.​

Password system : 1111​

what work :

Touch Screen

Wifi

Sound

Camera (on first boot if system tell you for permission, just reboot phone)

Bluetooth

GPS (tested with uNav)

What not work yet:

Ril call (no sound)

Fingerprint

good job i will try it
[Nexus 5X Android Development] safdarhp:
Going to give it a go. Hopefully things will go well.

Which recovery would you recommend? (or can I use any?)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] walidham:
TWRP latest version
[Nexus 5X Android Development] linuxowin:
Above all, thank you for your work and sharing.

Overall, the system works well and is stable.

But I've a major problem, I don't have sound and microphone during an standard phone call.

(i'm sorry for my English (french - translate))
[Nexus 5X Android Development] walidham:
thank you for testing, i 'm working to solve this issue. Also i have progress for fingerprint, sensor, work but when system try to save fingerprint the application crash.

Best regards
[Nexus 5X Android Development] blazeq:
Thank you, it seems to be working well (I don't plan to use the device for calling, more for IoT and it is much better than emulating linux in android).
[Nexus 5X Android Development] asdfafdav:
Love your work sooo much! Only was able to find a nexus 5x instead of 5 and was considering return it when I find your post.

When I install it and reboot it doesn't go past the Google logo
[Nexus 5X Android Development] TimSR9624:
By the way you need to install a Android 9 rom first (Nexus PieX for example, that's what I used) so that halium 9 would work (Link to Nexus PieX: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-9-pd1a-180720-030-nexus-piex-v1-0oct-bullhead-20181101.3827122/)

[Nexus 5X Android Development] MrT10001a:
Hi thanks for the port. Installed fine and running well so far. It does take up space though and for the novice ROM installer there are a couple of steps required.

Download

Ubuntu Touch link as above (post1)

Android Pie as per post 12

TWRP for Bullhead

Boot to bootloader (fastboot) - Make sure the bootloader is unlocked - If not unlock the bootloader, reboot to Android, set it up and reboot to bootloader.

Flash the TWRP recovery

Boot recovery and Backup if required the stuff in post1 ( backup all your data if the device is your daily driver)

Format the data partition to EXT4 (if it is not already EXT4) in the wipe tool

Connect to PC and put the Android Pie zip to the root of the device, i.e. not in a folder

In TWRP install Android from Zip file

Reboot to Android.

Reboot to fastboot

Install TWRP

Change DATA partition to EXT4 in the advanced part of the wipe tool

Wipe CACHE

Copy the Ubuntu Touch zip file to the root of the device

Install the zip file - leave the device alone while it is doing this

When done reboot

Enjoy Ubuntu Touch on your Nexus 5X "Bullhead". This worked for me and is my experience. You do this at your own risk. The Nexus 5X is a pain for bootlooping due to a c**p design, like its predecessor, the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tomicar.carmito:
here i have a problem. i have did all steps by order and always i get bootloop on start (google sign on black screen)

please help me
[Nexus 5X Android Development] MrT10001a:
Ensure the data partition is formatted to EXT4. When installing Android Pie, you must reboot and allow it to boot up to the home screen. Sometimes on other ROM's once I have changed the data partition to EXT4, I reboot to TWRP recovery.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tomicar.carmito:
i have tried it few times and still don't work :/

is it matter which twrp is installed, maby it needs specific version??
[Nexus 5X Android Development] MrT10001a:
It shouldn't do, but I used twrp-3.5.2_9-0-bullhead.img. It is important to install Android Pie.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tomicar.carmito:
Do you use telegram, that we can be faster in chat and that i can send a video?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] MrT10001a:
I am not on social media. Start from installing Android Pie from the above download. Make sure you have fully booted in and enable developer options again, then try again.

Did you have a custom ROM on before, like LineageOS. A custom ROM sometimes will resize the partitions to non-stock and Ubuntu Touch requires stock partition sizes to install. If you have had a custom ROM installed, you will need to find out how to get the Nexus 5X back to stock partition sizes.
[Touch HD General] brainfogs:
all is said:

i can't send a file from the touch HD to another device ( like a computer for example) i can only " print via bluetooth" when exploring files.

i laso want to browse the device from my computer but it failed with the message : the device doesn't offer this service.

is there any setting or application to download ? i heard about MoBlue , is ti good ?

thanks.

[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
Yes, Moblue will solve all these BT file transfer problem. Without it, there are a few areas which will not work.
[Touch HD General] AFK_Matrix:
I also have a bluetooth related question. I tried to sync up my Dinovo Edge Keyboard last night and the phone said it had found the keyboard and all was ok. But I went into word and the keyboard didn't seem to work, no words appeared. Should I try syncing again or will it just not work?

[Android Apps and Games] 7h3DuD3:
Thanks for this, I noticed in recents I did not have to relog in to open, pixel as far as I understand doesn't close recents and clearing them also doesn't actually end the process losing a security risk. Great app though!
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
Hi,

many thanks for giving Truvark a try and for providing feedback. Indeed there is no mechanism automatically closing a vault or the app itself. Actually I spend a bunch of hours on this feature already and haven't found a solution yet that significantly improves security while keeping encryption/decryption/etc reliable.

You might have noticed that this app makes heavy use of background scheduling. Other apps show a dialog forcing you to wait while they encrypt one file after another, where Truvark runs encryption parallel in background and you still can view your already encrypted files. This is one of the reasons why the feature you mentioned is not available yet, closing a vault would cancel background operations that cannot be automatically started again when the vault is opened next time, because of storage permissions.

Truvark is completely build on Android's "new" storage design (that Google enforced in Android 10/11) by using the storage access framework (SAF).

Therefor I cannot grantee that automatically closing a vault will ever be available, however likely there will be at least a button to close a vault inside the app or maybe a login screen to prevent access to the UI while still having that vault open in background. Actually I’m planning bigger changes on how the vaults are opened with the goal to make it possible having multiple vaults open at the same time. During that process I will reevaluate if it is easier to implement that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
@7h3DuD3 did my post answered your questions or are you looking for different information? Happy to answer any question or feedback.

May I ask you in case you regularly use a vault/encryption app what app you're using? What you like about it and what could be improved in your opinion?

Furthermore, I might be able to give insights about the security and privacy of alternative apps if they were part of my analysis. Hoping to analyze more vault apps soon, possibly on request.
[Android Apps and Games] 7h3DuD3:
Actually don't use one ever for more than a few days, however I've been using this for a bit and find it adequate. Perhaps a triggered deletion of the vault, say recieve an email or text, but I'm fairly certain tasker could do that or multiple other apps not to mention the security risk of having something like that poses a security risk in itself. But overall I'd say it's better then what I've used in the past and files I carry on my personal thumbdrive are vaulted which feels better knowing should I lose it my personal information won't just be in a .hiddenpasswords.txt file lol that's been the main thing is bs where they hide the file like no one's gonna see that or rename the extension with no encryption. I haven't tried a brute force, might be kinda fun to do. Suggestion, Better variety of file types *
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
Starting with your last sentence, I wish you good luck with that. Of course it depends on your password. Assuming you picked a good password (Truvark requires 8 character at the moment) brute force is by far the worst attack you could try. For hashing Argon2id is used with a configuration above the minimal recommendations by OWASP and for encryption Google's Tink library is used that "has been deployed in hundreds of products and systems" (quote from their readme file) including Google Pay.

I think you should try attacking the implementation instead of globaly used algorithms.

Thanks that you overall seem to like my app. I don't plan to implement a remote deletion because I believe that strong cryptography does not need that. If you really want to build that yourself in a first step you could just delete the file with the name "vault". It contains a so called salt and the encrypted database key, without the file the attack surface is reduced (and you lose access to your files even with correct password btw).

Because you mentioned a thumb drive, that is one of the benefits of the new storage APIs. Truvark fully supports sdcards and external USB devices without workarounds or the need to move data manually from time to time. I have seen lots of vault apps with bad sdcard support.

What file support are you looking for? I plan GIFs, basic text files and PDFs next.

0.3.2:

Replace prebuild Argon2 (used for password derivation) with own build from official source

Update various dependencies (including improvements to the in-app file presenter)

Development is currently a little slow or let's say less visible to users because of many under the hood changes. Furthermore, I'm waiting for improvements/new features in some dependencies. Next will be various improvements to the database. After that I plan to work on Material3 design.
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
0.4.0:

Target Android 13

Handle new notification permission (first and only required permission)

Support themed icons (Android 13)

Update dependencies

Was quiet in the last months, also because I had little time, the development will progress much faster in the next weeks. I am still working on the replacement of the database implementation. Afterwards it goes on with the Material3 redesign that will come with many new features.
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
0.5.0:

Update various dependencies

Drop a dependency in favor of official implementation

Obviously, my plans (see above) didn't work out. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for a final feature for database migration, which is finally in development upstream. So here is another small update.

I commit to continue improving this app and bring it out of early access status, as well as go fully open source in future.
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
0.6.0:

Support playing GIFs

Database migration finally done. Thats a huge step forward. Next there will be another release with an option to auto zoom to match screen size instead of showing the original image size, before the Material 3 redesign that will ship with many new features. Planning to go fully open source after the Material 3 redesign.
[Android Apps and Games] retro83:
Hi, thanks for the update, good app! Unfortunately I believe I found a bug. In this version I am unable to export files from the encrypted archive. I select a file, click the unlock icon and nothing happens, the file just gets deselected.

Let me know if you need anything further to aid with debugging.
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
Hi, thanks so much for giving Truvark a try.

After you press the decrypt button, a notification should pop up to inform you about the progress. In case you decrypt one small file this notification will likely disappear after a second. I think it's valuable feedback that this UX might not be clear enough. Btw the decrypt button creates a decrypted copy of the file and does not delete the encrypted file inside the vault.

Because of file permissions the file is not decrypted to its original location, instead inside the vault directory a "decrypted" folder should appear that containers the directory structure of your folders in the vault and the decrypted file. In case your file is a media file a gallery app should detect the "decrypted" directory.

Please check if that directory exists and contains your decrypted files. Feel free to give any feedback, would be happy to learn about your experience.
[Android Apps and Games] retro83:
Hi thanks for the help, you're right - the decrypted files are in that location.

And you're correct about the notification - it does appear but for literally a split second - blink and you'll miss it! Maybe the notification could remain after the operation has completed, saying for example ... "Decryption complete, 5 files processed in X seconds".

Anyway it all works so thanks again. 👍
[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
Sounds like a good suggestion. Would add that if you click the notification, it will take you to the "decrypted" folder. This way maybe both problems could be solved. If you have more feedback don’t hesitate to send it to me.

To add some information about the progress on the next update. The mentioned toggle to auto zoom to match screen size will be included. Furthermore first steps in the development of the desktop apps are done. Creating and opening vaults is currently implemented. However I don’t have plans to release these apps soon. The Android app will be adjusted to target Android 14 with the next update too. Likely that will delay the release of that update even further. The Material 3 update won’t happen this year anymore. I would love to see the app progress faster, but I only work on it in my free time. So it is how it is.

[Android Apps and Games] lukaspieper:
Hi,

Thanks for your interest. F-Droid is not possible yet because this application is only partially open source (the cryptographic core is open source). It will become fully open source after the Material 3 redesign.

I plan to provide GitHub releases as well, but I also think that makes much more sense when the app is fully open source. If you don't have access or want to use Google Play (and the Aurora store is not an option for some reasons), please PM me and I'll provide an APK for you.

OK so for context i have a ancient lg l3 running cm 9 i use it as an mp3 player because of its headphone jack.i have spent days trying to get music streaming to work on it. so here are some apps that i have tried

Gaana- search and login does not work (kinda necessary for a music streaming app)

Spotify- so the only working apk i found was from one of those sketchy apk website if i correctly remember it was 1.2.5.3 so the apk was safe but no on demand music playback ( like you cant play a specific song you can only shuffle)and no skips ( and i am not giving a random apk from a rando website access to my premium account)

Amazon music-does not exist

Play music- DEAD

Apple music- i am not paying and probably dosent exist

so please suggest me some working apps or a way to get the above mentioned apps to work
