Hi all. I am a newbie here in the Forum and just wanted to ask how is it going the project ubports Linux for the FP3 model. I just wanted to buy a new FP but not sure to try with an FP2 or FP3. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum, mactoni. I haven’t watched the UBports project too closely lately, but a few weeks ago there was one person working on UT for FP3. Back then IIRC they were struggling with quite a few things. Information on that can be found in the Halium group on telegram I guess. I h…

Thanks a lot for your work on this @Luksus and @Ingo , much appreciated! I have been able to install the GSI procedure following your previous instructions and I just saw your new post above. What are the difference between the GSI image and the new one, using the Gitlab CI? Is it different build pr…

Hi mart-e, Yes, the way we use on Gitlab is a different and more device specific build procedure. There we just build the modified kernel and use a specific android 9 compatible build of the rootfs.
