Maintainer notes

  • 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/ .

Report an Issue for
Xiaomi Mi A2

Did the maintainer say that feature ‘works’ but you know from doing it that it really doesn’t?

Start by searching the device issue , if you found it, hopefully the porter is on it. 'Subscribe' to the issue in case it get solved.

Couldn't find it?

Uh-oh… Well it is time to let the porter and everyone else know about the fail and send the tech magic back to the workshop for a makeover.

1. Read 'Bug Reporting' section in UBports docs on 'How to report a bug'.

2. Then (this time), head to the device repository and submit it, so the porter knows about it.
