Important Notes

Apart from the features listed above, there are a few things to note:

  • Xiaomi Mi A2 has a BUGGY implementation of fastboot interface from Xiaomi which can cause occasional issues when trying to use ubports installer to install Ubuntu Touch. If you need help with installation, please ask nicely at https://t.me/shoukolab/ .
  • Waydroid can be installed but may not work properly. If you need android apps on ubuntu touch, you may want to choose some other device. If you can help fix waydroid support drop a message at https://t.me/shoukolab/ .
