Hello everyone,
First of all, sorry for my poor english.
I have a phablet which installed ubuntu touch 14.04(another person did this work 2 years ago, he modified the kerner, uboot, and so on, but he has left already, and I don't know what he actually did), and now I want to upgrade it to ubuntu touch 16.04, Does anyone know how to achieve this goal?
I flashed the original kernel, ramdisk.img, initrd.img and recovery.img to the device and the phablet can boot to recovery mode. and then , I download the new xenial-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz from cdimage.ubuntu.com, tpying: ./rootstock-touch-install xenial-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz system.img, but it doesn't work, Do I need to rebuild all the stuff ? Or just replace the Ubuntu root file system like rootstock-touch-install did?
Thank you in advance !
Ubuntu Touch is not yet ready for 16.04 or 16.10. Rootstock is also no longer supported IIRC. What phablet do you have? If it's supported by canonical, you can easily install 15.04 using the ubuntu-device-flash command.
You can get more information regarding Ubuntu Touch from visiting the Google Plus "Ubuntu Touch" community, or the ubuntu-phone mailing list.

Hi, ShadowEO, Thank you very much!
My phablet is not supported by canonical, so ubuntu-device-flash didn't work too, I will try to find more information from the community or mailing list as you said, Thanks again !

Hello guys, before the question, i am sorry if i am little english. i look some website that running Ubuntu on Android Device.
I am sorry i am new user in this site, so i can't using outside links in this posting, but you will find if you search on google about this.
i have some question about this case:
1. i am using Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 a.k.a Samsung YP-G1CW/XSE what ubuntu can running on my device?
2. How with OS Windows? what windows can running on my Device? Windows XP may be, or Windows 7..
Please Help me, i need to running other OS on my Android Device.. Thank's Before for your answer
There are two ways to run another OS on your device: chroot and qemu. You can run Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution that supports ARM processors) with little effort using the chroot method. Look up "Ubuntu installer free" in the store and it will walk you through. It may not work on the stock kernel, so make sure you have the kernel from these forums that fits your device.
The only way to run an OS like Windows is by virtualization through qemu, because it doesn't natively support the chip in your Galaxy S Wifi. This method requires a version of qemu compiled for ARM and additional libraries, which I have not gotten to work successfully on this device. (Anyone else?)
So I'd suggest just trying to get Ubuntu running. It won't be very fast or easy to use on a device that small, but it will work.

There does not seem to be any plans for official support for deb, OFFICIAL SUPPORT, I have looked around a bit and there are some unofficial ports but there is more not working with deb than with flo. I expect to see something, just does not look like it will be soon.
Hi guys! I have an android kitkat 4.2.2 on my computer and it's in an .iso format. I was just wondering if you could teach me how to run that kitkat on my alcatel one touch t10? thanks guys

iso format for android...? I don't believe there are any iso formats for android phones or tablets. Maybe a version of x86 for the PC or something perhaps. Anyway, don't think there are any options for KK for it, as without source, it would be a HUGE undertaking, even for a skilled developer, to be able to get all the drivers and stuff updated without the source code from the manufacturers. I suggest to read through this thread for info on available versions of CyanogenMod that are compatible as well as tools and files to install a custom recovery or to return to stock if needed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016643
hey! thanks for the reply but i already did that thing above. Anyway, I just figured out that i really can't do the thing. thanks
Hello
is there anyway to make Z5c dual boot? install Ubuntu phone and Android.
Look for multiROM. I think some people here in the forum wrote that they use it already. Although, I don't think there is an Ubuntu version out there for our phone. Project seems to be cold.
I know it's a strange question but I would like to know if anyone has successfully gotten a Linux Distro to boot on the Honor 5x. Not Kali NetHunter, but an actual distro like those below:
Ubuntu Touch https://ubports.com/
Plasma Mobile http://plasma-phone.org/
postmarketOS https://postmarketos.org/
I'm just interested in it booting and basic "tablet-like" functionality being available on the phone. I'm asking because I just reclaimed the phone from my son who was using it as a "small tablet," I'm intrigued by a "phone" version of Linux, and I don't have the time to try and build it from scratch myself. I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, I'm just asking if someone has already done this at least semi-successfully. Thanks in advance for any replies.
