[ROM] ubuntu touch 16.04/20.04 community port

[lentas]

You need to install Ubuntutouch recovery.
TWRP cant handle ubuntu touch ota updates.
If you are using TWRP flash the update zip from github.
You can flash the zip file "with recovery" to get the ubuntu recovery installed but note that TWRP is gone then and you need to reflash with pc if you want it back.(maybe there is a method without pc, which idk. If yes someone can tell us here pls). There is no need to erase nand.

If you mean https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/...msung-galaxy-s7/samsung-exynos8890/-/issues/2, that might have been fixed for a month at this point, please comment there if that issue persists, or create a new issue if it is another kind of cellular issue with your findings/observations

If you end up fixing any issues, pull requests/merge requests are welcomed

What do you mean by "4 rest", I do not understand that at all

Check the link at the end of the main post

Note that 4GB ram actually gets a bit tight with waydroid, so ideally stop other background apps before starting more apps inside waydroid

well after some guessing and workaround...not flashable on korean variant (e.g. G930S/K/L) only for F variant.​

are you supposed to flash with something other than TWRP? I ask this because I tried flashing the herolte-2022-10-10.zip file and it ended with
"this zip is for herolte, refuse to flash on
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/UbuntuTouch/herolte-2022-10-10.zip'"
I am using a Samsung S7 Flat btw.

installed recently, found out signal icon is dead yet SMS and incall audio works, unlike the listing on ubports page
* s7edge if that matters
