Is there an guide or way to install the Ubuntu phone OS on other devices and is it safe?
I saw this but they are saying that is not stable yet. I'm asking about "Ubuntu Phone OS" and I need an installation Guide as well or preferably a step by step installation guide.
If any thing happens will I be able to but android on my phone again ?
thank you .
The Ubuntu version that xda installed on the phone is the desktop version and not the phone version. The phone specific OS currently only works with some moddels. It bricks most other moddels.
You will not be able to call anything with it if you install the desktop version on it.
That being said, No, there is no "safe" way of flashing any mobile machine. You can however reduce the risks if you know what you're doing and use safeguards like a nand backup.
there is always a slight chance of bricking your system. If that happens you will not be able to put android back on the phone and you'll be left with a very expensive paper weight.
If you're still interested in installing Ubuntu on your phone comment and I'll add the general guide of how to do it to this post.
Yes, it's possible, but the developer of the s3 project ended it while ago: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices
Now it is possible as UBports community has build it for many devices and they also provide good documentation about how to port for other phones. Search for your device, and if you don't find your device, port Ubuntu Touch to your device.
