Ubuntu Touch for OnePlus 6/6t - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I heard that Ubuntu Touch was available for those phones or at least that it was being worked on..
Has anyone more information about that or even a download link of a beta?

OnePlus 6 • Ubuntu Touch • Linux Phone
Switch your Oneplus 6 or 6T to Ubuntu Touch, as your open source daily driver OS.
devices.ubuntu-touch.io
Will try to install. But have to wait untill Januar, first need to buy the device.

To install it, you just need to downgrade to OOS9 and install UT by UBports Installer

I Managed to install Ubuntu Touch on the Oneplus 6 Device, it is pretty easy after downgrading the installer makes everything for you.
Next step is to get anbox/waydroid working, if anybody knows a way or a tutorial how to do that please tell me.
Found nothing helpfull in the ubports Forum.

Android Boots On HTC Touch Viva (Opal)

Hello.
I've been trying to boot android the opal by trying the vogue kernal (since it has the same specs as the opal) on the opal until i came across this. a fellow xda-dev member had some good news on android booting on the opal.
heres the original quote from him in the "LINUX BOOTS at OPAL! Thanks to linwizard project!" thread.
MusikMonk said:
I have some good news, Android can boot on the Opal. This is just a proof of concept as it's missing tons of drivers and is completely useless.
Touchscreen and all keys except for the volume control (and obviously the reset button) are not working. So you basically can't do anything when you run it.
What I tried is the same as what's written in this thread about running Android on Gene. They're using the build made for the Herald/Wing (just as I was proposing in my last post) with customized initramfs and kernel.
You'll find all the necessary details in that thread. However, there's a newer build than the one mentioned there it's wing-linux-0.4pre2.cab. And the suitable kernel for that build is supposed to be the pre2 posted in this post but it didn't work on my Opal so I tried the older Gene kernel and it worked. The main difference between the two is bluetooth support, and that's obviously is of no use for us.
This doesn't effect the Windows rom, nor does it requires any special partitioning. Still it's best to have everything backed up before launching it, just in case.
This is the official site for the wing/herald build:
http://wing-linux.sf.net/
This thread on their forums about the Gene port will probably be of use to us:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/wing-linux/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4
I'm reading about the next steps but as I said before, I don't have any previous experience or knowledge about this type of things. If someone can give me hand, I would be more than grateful. At any rate, once I have better understanding of the concept I'll contact the people behind the Wing and the Gene ports.
P.S: If you do try to run this, keep in mind that this will take lots of time, specially for the first launch. And when you get an error saying something like "android sh: can't access tty" just ignore it and keep waiting. After a while you'll have a flashing "android" on the screen, and after some more waiting you'll reach the main screen.

i've not tried it yet, but the touchscreen drivers and buttons are not working. if anyone could help build a android kernel for the opal, it would be extremly great!
This thread will be used for future android builds for the opal.
It is possible "Android" in this mobile ????
I would like install to
no, i don't think you can install, but you can boot it from haret. i'm not sure too how to boot it though, trying to find a way.
okay i tried reached till ANDROID boot screen struck waiting for fone to respond.. responded now struck on power off screen..
nothing happens powering offffff strucks.. any way it worked half way.. now i have hope one day will run android on opal
If the Opal is based on the Omap850 chipset, anyone care to try the Wing-linux project on their phones? It's Android ported (or in the process of being ported) to the Wing/Herald. The keys won't be mapped to your phones but I wonder if it will actually boot all the way to the Android desktop. (Btw, the first boot takes a long time to finish.)
would love to try android!!

At any rate, the main thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462188
I would appreciate any help because, at the moment, I seem to be the only Opal owner working on the port. And I lack the experience.
I was working on modifying the kernel so that the touchscreen would work but I ran into some problems and I've been too busy during the last week to do anything concerning this project.
i'll be happy if anyone could post links to videos showing android running on our HTC touch viva
I got Android CupCake installed and working on my HTC Opal a few weeks back using the WingLinux.
Keys are not mapped and Android is not fully functional but never the less, its android 1.6 on your viva...u can chk da pic off my facebook album, i dnt wanna upload'em again:

Is it possible for me, to install it on my HD2?
Does it run beside Windows mobile 6.5?
Is there any tutorial? (i couldn't find any)
I would really like to try - if it is possible. If there is no tutorial, and i dont think it will be possible - for me at least.
I appreciate your help

The ROM's only a proof of concept as of now, you can't download it and nobody but Cotulla can run it (well at least the one in the pics, if anybody else could port it I'd be very impressed). I wouldn't expect the ROM to be publicly released any time soon, but maybe within the next few months.
Thank you for the reply.
I will look forward to see if it gets released. It looks promising, and i hope the developers will keep up the good Work.
I will just use Ubuntu until then
Best regards

And its an x86 version (Enterprise) and not the ARM version (RT)
You'll need the updated MAGLDR by Cotulla,
but he hasn't released it...
For now, just wait

Any news about this ?!
Running Ubuntu Touch on the Z2 Pro would be a dream come true!
My old BQ Ubuntu Phone won't be supported in the 20.04 LTS release so I am looking for other options and this would be one if I can also find a new battery for the Z2 Pro

[ROM] PostmarketOS for HTC HD2

Hi,
I have recently ported PostmarketOS with the help of the developers of the os. It is an initial port, so only display, touchscreen and charging work. 3D acceleration seems to be broken for now, same as other things such as wifi and stuff. The only tested UI for now is xfce4, as it can run on the framebuffer. If someone is willing to help with the port, it would be great For now I'll try to make wifi and bluetooth work.
Here is the link to the device page on the pmOS wiki, flashing instructions are also there : https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/HTC_HD2_(htc-leo))
Update : wifi works now too

Hi Dominduchami, thanks for your work.
Here is the link with the bracket on the end
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/HTC_HD2_(htc-leo)
Is there a download link there?
@Robbie P Hi. There isn't really any download link, but in the link to the wiki there's an installation guide. You'll just have to install pmbootstrap and follow the instructions there. If there is a need for it, I can also make an image of the sd card with the rootfs, but I think it wouldn't be really practical, because alpine linux is updated all the time

Hi.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not really working on it right now and I don't plan on doing anything with it in the near future. If you want to work on it however, I can give you some advice on how to set up the environment and such, if you want. The things that probably can be also made working are audio and bluetooth, graphics acceleration is afaik not possible in pmos with such old kernel.
Can you upload sd card with rootfs images ? please
