Ubports for Cosmo

[rulerofthenight]

Hi
i'm trying to install ubports on my cosmo.
i put the ubuntu.img to the root and used your command to flash the boot to my fourth boot partition.
however, if i choose the 4th boot option, the cosmo just vibrates a couple of times and then reboots.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks

There is new Wiki page from Adam Boardman about UbuntuTouch on Cosmo: https://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts
Be careful because it might be unfinished ... If you are brave and try it out, please post your "travel report".

I got mine working via these instructions.

Issues I see so far are Sound related.  When I play music through the any music player it doesn't output any sound.

@tac: So you have a stable triple-boot Cosmo now?

For sound, try to plug in and off some head phones. This worked for me under Gemian.

ok i managed to install ubuntu touch.
now, how can i update? if i download an updated build and manually try to flash it, it does not seems to work.
OTA won't work neither

Codi is now working with the latest build of ubports. I have been running it for the last 2 days.

Great work from Notkit and Adam Boardman.

Has anybody shared such good news on https://forums.ubports.com/ ? Maybe this will help the adoption of this device. It is not even listed on the device list https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

I successfully installed the Ubuntu Touch version from 2021-01-22, following https://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts . Many things are working out-of-box, but not SIM cards. Anyone got a SIM card working?

Ok for anyone who also could've have problems with installation 

1. Install regular KDE to your Cosmo (https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo#Cosmo_Linux_installation)
2. Boot into KDE
3. Download the latest FLASHABLE artifacts (https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/android9/planet-cosmocom/planet-cosmocom/-/jobs)
4. Unzip Artifacts, go to "out" directory and see 2 files.
- Rename "rootfs.img" to "ubuntu.img"
- Rename "boot.img" to "ubports-boot.img"
5. Move the "ubports-boot.img" to your SDCard (put it to the dir with all other scripts)
6. Move the "ubuntu.img" to your "/" directory within KDE (sudo mv ubuntu.img / - like this)
7. Follow these instructions from Piece_Maker: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=36413.msg296947#msg296947

Profit!

Hi, @sven1999 use, I was able to boot into Android, Ubuntu Touch and Linux via the boot screen, All booted ok.  I don't really use the android any more though.

I've made a couple of noises over there, and posted a photo of UBPorts running on my Cosmo.  I'm still having a spot of bother with sms receiving, but apart from that it works very well for me.  It's stable, pretty much does everything I need, and the UI is so nice. 

[Piece_Maker]

UBPorts definitely lends itself well to a 'half and half' device like the Cosmo! SMS not working is a biggie for me though (Can't even setup Axolotl for Signal without it) and it won't play music via the music player which makes it a bit of a non-starter for me. The content sharing hub is also completely broken which makes a lot of things awkward. 

Really nice OS though and I'll definitely leave it on and watch it mature!

i already asked this but since i can't seems to find a working way to update the ubports once installed.
i'm stuck with the version i installed first time. if i try to re-flash a new .img the process will end succesfully but then i found the same version of ubuntu touch when i boot.
obviously OTA update is not working neither.
any suggestion?
thanks
