We consider 20.04 OTA-3's state of the PinePhone adaptation a beta release. For now you still need to flash the Pine{Phone,Phone Pro,Tab,Tab2} upstream images as usual. Please test and give feedback to our developers. A great thanks goes to Oren and Luigi for working on the 20.04 Pine{Phone,Phone Pro,Tab} ports and esp. fixing sensor dependent rotation of the Lomiri shell and bringing back Location Service (GPS et al.) support from Ubuntu Touch 16.04 (aka Xenial). This release of Ubuntu Touch is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, so latest Ubuntu 20.04 LTS security updates have landed in this OTA." A list of new features and bug fixes can be found in the project's release announcement. A list of supported devices and download options can be found on the project's devices page. |
