DosTuMaiStupid question time! Is the Meizu MX5 Ubuntu touch compatible?20:14
OerHeksDosTuMai, yes, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices20:26
GarettMIs it be or porting this is kinda a bitch20:32
OerHeksGarettMcCarty, ask mariogrip, it is not that easy indeed20:35
GarettMcCartyI should probably learn more about android before i attempt again loll i thought it'd be as simple as grabbing the CyanogenMod source code and running lunch but i was painfully mistaken20:36
GarettMIs anyone else porting? Or trying loll21:22
GarettMWhoot kernel build failure for LG H811 :D progress people!21:49
GarettMIs ubuntu touch 32-bit?!22:15
JanCon the phones it is22:15
GarettMThats lame22:16
JanCbut it runs on 64-bit desktops too22:16
JanCwell, the phones all have 32-bit SoCs, I think  :)22:17
JanCthe officially supported ones22:17
JanCIIRC the M10 tablet has 64-bit kernel + 32-bit userspace (but I would have to look up to be sure)22:18
GarettMI dont think its the SoC i believe its the android base there using bro it doesnt have the 64-bit config files seen in the newer android versions or maybe i am wrong but thats why building for LG G4 is being difficult xD22:18
GarettMThats what i am doing 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace22:18
JanCis the Android kernel for that LG 64-bit?22:19
GarettMYeah everything is 64bit for the LG G4 i believe22:21
JanCon weekdays (especially European business hours) there will probably be more people around with porting experience22:22
GarettMI wish i could be on durring those hours but i gotta work Monday-Saturday22:23
JanCor maybe earlier in the evening (it's around midnight now)  ;)22:24
GarettMIt is? Dang loll22:24
JanCnot sure where you live22:25

JanChttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices says there is a non-official port22:38
GarettMHave you read the instructions on ubuntu touch devices?22:38
helpzonlineyes22:38

helpzonlinei got the boot.img and ubuntu.img22:41
helpzonlinefor the phone22:42
helpzonlinebit confused with the flashing process... from desktop ubuntu... 16.0422:42
GarettMI wouldn't advise you trying to put it on your phone if you dont know what your doing you could end up with a broken phone. But if you got the balls i believe you would just get the phablet-tools package and use phablet-flash community --device minato22:43
helpzonlinehmmm22:43
helpzonlineok...22:43
JanCprobably same advice I gave to GarettM: try asking during daytime in Europe on weekdays; more likely that somebody with more experience is around then  :)22:44
helpzonlinei am not tring it my using phone...its a spare phone22:44
GarettMThen try it bro is fastboot available and the bootloader unlocked? I believe those are the other requirements22:45

helpzonlinethe command was fastboot flash boot boot.img( the folder contained boot.img & fastboot.exe22:52

GarettMThat seems sketchy why not use phablet-flash?22:53
