Just installed v4 directly on my kenzo (first boot.img through fastboot) - works pretty great, given it's so fresh!
A few more issues I have encountered so far:
- Audio doesn't work (even after hard-reset, as suggested)
- Can't play Audio/Video, I get the message "Fail to connect with playback backend."
--EDIT: after turning phone completely OFF and back ON, Audio and media now DOES WORK!
- in 'Accounts' the Keyboard does not appear (tried to add Nextcloud or CalDav)
- I'm also curious about Waydroid - the commands you suggested don't work for me, probably I'm missing something, as I'm not exactly sure how to apply them thb..,)
- probably more, still testing ...
Thank you so much for your amazing work!

for waydroid
- connect kenzo to linux laptop then in PC terminal
- then execute the patch script one by one (see if any line fails ,else run waydroid logcat )
For audio
- try , normal reboot followed by a hard reboot (don't let go of the power button) ( if it works once then it should works even after the next reboot)
- back end issue will go away once audio comes online
- don't know the audio driver used by kenzo otherwise we could add a script to load it everytime
keyboard things are not device-specific (may get fixed in the coming ota s)

Thank you.. it worked now! I had to remove and re-install Waydroid, then the additional commands, and this time it started up pretty quick into LineageOS - amazing!
How can I access the internal storage within Waydroid? Any terminal commands? I know there is a file manager in LineageOS, but how do I transfer files into there?
Some additional feedback on the ROM in general..
- Incoming calls do come in, but only show up quickly and vibrate once, then disappear
- Outgoing calls do connect, but sound and mic don't seem to work, once connected
- SMS seems to work

From the Terminal in Ubuntu Touch, you should be able to use adb push to copy files into the LOS environment.
Thank you, but adb doesn't seem to be working, at least for me.. neither on Ubuntu connected to a PC / Linux. The 'Developer Mode' switch doesn't seem to do anything (with Passcode)
Thanks for your work. This project look interesting. I'm new with ubuntu so my question is can I turn this ubuntu phone into a vps server?
I guss that's why kenzo use pre build ril stuff
.. It might some time to fix

@mathew..denniss
Thanks for doing this. I hope it eventually gets full functionality on kenzo.
Also, fingers crossed Ubuntu Touch takes off. We really need another player on the market, in this sad Apple-Google duopoly.

You can increase the size of rootfs by resizing /data/rootfs.img from twrp
But it is not necessary as, / is mounted as read only by default and all changes you make are written to a different location and mounted over it during boot ...111
You can ask at ubports teligram group https://t.me/ubports_porting -
5This is an update to the post that I did a while back which can be found here. That was a port using halium 7. To be fair it was prity old and buggy. This one uses halium 9 (bugs are still plenty though ;-P ), and is a marginal improvement over the previous one.Yet this port was no means easy, in reality, this port was even more buggy at first ,but most of them were much easier to fix, as I got lots of help from the porting community.I was able to get it to a booting state in about 3 months time as compared to more than a year with halium 7 , to be fair the delay was also due to the fact that I was not exactly an android developer or a developer for that matter, and had to read a lot at first .
anyways I share it here as I have reached a point where further bug fixing is beyond my capability . or in other words, Googling error codes and testing all possible methods /solutions don't seem to yield any meaningful full result, I do really wish someone better than me would look into it and make it even better ;- )
In the meantime let me add more Verbose ;-P
What is ubuntu touch
ubuntu touch is different from other oses as it is fork of Linux as compared to all our favorite mobile oses being forks of android. in other words, it is a fully functional Linux os optimized to run on arm64 device in a touch environment.The original idea was conceived by canonical and later they stoped their work and open-sourced the project and transferred the assets to the ubports community, the community is actively improving it, and trying to bring it to feature parity with Android .
whats working on this port
- calls,data ,wifi
- sound, vibration
- auto rotation
- auto, manual brightness
- Offline charging
- GPS
whats partially working
- camera (preview works ...can't click picture and take video)
- fingerprint (fingerprint wakes the device but cant enroll fingerprints)
- Bluetooth (everything works except file transfer)
- adb,mtp
Waydroid
waydroid is a containerized approach to get an android environment running in a Linux system with the added advantage of full hardware access.so we can android apps and games natively. more details can be found here. to install way droid open terminal and paste the following
sudo -s mount -o rw,remount / && apt update && apt install waydroid && waydroid init
It also need a fix as waydroid is intended for treble devices which can be found in this post. Thank you @erfanoabdi for enabling support for non treble devices.
Installation
- flash the halium-boot and the following zip file
- clean flash recommended
- reboot after the initial setup is done
