It is easier to install apps via snap than it is on Libertine though

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 23:23

Why not try both and see for yourself what works for you?

If I want to try some linux apps on UT, what's the better way: libertine or snapz0r?

UBports [ENGLISH]

it should be flashed with Android 10-based MIUI specifically, bootloader unlocked

And as sidnote to this: direct support from me would be wasted effort, because I have no experience with that phone at all. I can try to find some pointers, but I'm as far away from an expert for your situation as possible.

I tried 2 times. The first time the mobile got stuck at rebooting. And the second time the mobile got dead and I did repair repair on mi authorised store.

Hi. Can someone help me to install Ubuntu Touch on my redmi note 9 pro max?

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 04:53

the installer uses fastboot commands— so it should be able to see it when you connect

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 04:51

it completely stuck on fastboot mode and nothing is working even connecting to computer. So can't do anything

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 04:47

well in fastboot mode, the installer should still be able to see it

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 03:33

if i download orangefox could that take the phone off fastboot or should i do this with a new phone then download ubuntu?

osk = on screen keyboard

UBports [ENGLISH]

15 Jul 2025 00:24

Osk is currently working only with Libertine (so you need to use bluetooth keyboard for snaps), but hopefully osk for snaps will get fixed with Noble. App scaling is broken on Focal for both though, making Linux desktop apps only really viable on either external monitor or tablet, not on phones. Hopefully this will get fixed for snaps on Noble.

if its available as a snap go with snapz0r
otherwise go for libertine

UBports [ENGLISH]

UBports [ENGLISH]

You need to downgrade to Android 10 before installing Ubuntu Touch. The installer should provide a Link with further information. You don't need to manually install TWRP or any other recovery.

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 10:32

So right now the phone is reflashed with whatever OS Xiaomi uses on it, right?

Please do not respond by sending a DM. First of all because others need to see if an issue is ongoing, second because a response in a public channel does not mean someone is eager to receive private messages as well.

What's the situation that you need help with?

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 06:46

Unless the fasboot drivers are missing.

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 04:52

when fastboot mode, it will only be recognized with fastboot commands

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 04:47

you shouldn't need TWRP or orangefox tho afaik

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 04:19

TWRP is not generally recommended any more to my knowledge.

UBports [ENGLISH]

14 Jul 2025 03:20

no TWRP should i be using orangefox?
