Ubuntu Touch OTA-8 with ARM64 support
Ubuntu Touch OTA-8 also activates support for ARM64, which allows developers to port Ubuntu Touch to more devices, improves USB tethering, and fixes bugs with Contacts, Addresses, and Initial Settings applications.
Free Touch OTA-8 will arrive eventually in the next few days for all compatible devices, including Fairphone 2, OnePlus One, BQ Aquaris E5, BQ Aquaris M10 FHD, BQ Aquaris M10 HD, Meizu MX 4, Meizu PRO 5, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7.
Well at least it is still in development, less gives a stone. The possibility of convergence is quite another thing because if my memory fails me, UT uses Unity8 and Ubuntu has already switched to Gnome Shell some time ago, if they took out a flavor - even if it was secondary - with Unity8, it could have the illusion of a better future But for now it paints everything very black in that sense.
I like the Ubuntu interface and I would like to see it on a Xiaomi.
Hello, I have a BQ Aquaris M10 HD with android. Some time ago I tried to pass it to Ubuntu (I had not yet ruled canonical the project) but I saw that it was impossible if it was not the ubuntu version for licensing issues, if I remember correctly.
Does anyone know if this has changed and now is it possible to put ubuntu to my tablet?
It's been a long time since they stopped updating for android and switching to ubuntu would give me a more updated system.
I think you are confused, because Ubuntu is in tests rather because it does not have whatsapp or support for android applications.
I recommend you better a rom for your cell phone
