    @Fuseteam Yes, you are right. The transaction is directly between the wallets from the user and the developer, but it would maybe be good to implement a system that ensures that the user can ask the developer for a refund (for example a button that appears after the payment).
    Maybe it would even be easier to have a system where the user can use the app for free for a certain amount of time (the time he would be entitled to a refund) and than the user can decide to pay for the app, if he wants to get future updates.

    This is of cause very theoretical, because with the feedback I got so far, I don't think the majority of users want any form of payment system.

    @UBportsNews Now that Marius has got VoLTE working on the Fairphone 5 (Applause! Applause!!, hurray!!! thank you @mariogrip) : What's next? How complicated will it be to implement the function in other devices and will VoLTE make it into Noble or even yet Focal?

    I played around with Waydroid and my Bluetooth headset, maybe similar as described here.
    And also in my case, the app stoppd working. I shortly see the loading screen and then it disappears and that's it.

    In the post mentioned above the solution was to delete the entry "music.ubports" from /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet and after a reboot it worked again.

    Since I don't have a "phablet" folder like in the path mentioned but only a “@all" folder I don't dare to remove "music.ubports" from this folder.

    Are there any proposals on how to make the music app work again? And how do I prevent this to happen again or in other words what caused this? Has it to do with Waydroid?

    I'm on a Volla Phone 22 with UT 20.04 OTA-5

    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I look for Ubuntu Touch and UBports, for a long time ago !
    Thanks for your great work.
    I not yet try it, but I will do very soon.

    I'm looking that Poco X3 and Poco X3 Pro, have similar hardware so I searched if Poco X3 Pro is supported today.
    I find https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10451/poco-x3-pro and https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8707/poco-x3-pro and https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8483/port-for-poco-x3-pro/10
    And the gitlab : https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android11/xiaomi-poco-x3-pro/xiaomi-vayu/

    So I think the Poco X3 Pro is compatible, anybody have test it ? Can you confirm it ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Have a good day.

    David

    Sorry, but i don't know my ubuntu one account (perhaps I don't have one).
    In the forum I can only upload pictures but no files.
    Is there an other way to send the logfile?

    Hi,

    I've added the Pinetab2 model to the collection of gimp files for compatible devices with Ubuntu Touch.

    Hello!
    Please advise me with cross compiling lomiri for arm64.
    I have already setup sbuild environment according to https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/systemdev/testing-locally.html :

    sudo apt install sbuild schroot devscripts debhelper dh-migrations dh-python ccache sudo sbuild-adduser user ... etc

    But after executing sbuild --host=arm64 --build=amd64 -d "focal" i am getting this error:

    E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.82 80] E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-updates/universe/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.82 80] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. E: apt-get update failed

    How can i fix that?

    @oya-g said in Japanese!!:

    Channel Update → 20.04Development has Japanese. My device is Pixel3a, so it is 4G compatible.

    The "development" channel is maybe not meant for day-to-day use, as it may be buggy and/or unstable. So really looking forward to japanese support arriving in stable.

    Note that even with a 4G compatible phone, you will not be able to do any phone calls inside japan, as the 4G protocol stack does not by itself support telephony. It only supports data.

    For telephony, you need VoLTE support, which is quite a messy affair, as it requires various firmware and software components to cooperate properly for calls to be routed over the 4G data layer (i.e. as VoIP call). UBports does not support that currently.

    @Arnoldko
    About your question:
    UBports is a German foundation. And when I search for "public transport" at open-store.io (app store for Ubuntu Touch (UT)) I see four German, two Spanish, one Norwegian, one American, one Hungarian and one Swiss app(s). So you have maybe slightly more people who know some things about UT in this countries, but I do not think that this is significant.
    It probably depends more on what you want to do and how you want to structure your company (How closely do HW and SW teams need to work together? Where is the head of your company? Is this a commercial project?...).
    If your hardware team also takes care of firmware and drivers and you are only searching for some people who write some apps for you, you should find people who can do some C++, Qt and server stuff nearly everywhere.
    Specifically for Ubuntu Touch, you could maybe post a job description in this forum and let the people work from home.

    Some time ago some people related to Volla did a fundraiser to bring Android apps to UT. They commissioned some Russian developer and it was very successful. So maybe this could also be an option for you:

    https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/ https://forums.ubports.com/user/stanwood https://www.gofundme.com/f/anbox-on-ut?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet

    About no phone numbers:
    A lot of messengers and other services depend on verification via SMS. This is maybe something you want to consider.

    About using UT as a base:
    Please be aware that Ubuntu Touch has some limitations and depending on what you want to do (how much you want to modify the system), it could maybe be more convenient to start with something else (like Debian). There are currently also some people working on Lomiri (the desktop environment of Ubuntu Touch) for Debian.
    But this very much depends on what you want to do.

    The last step installs the rootfs usually in system partition, see the install section of the porting documention.
    Basically flash the latest xenial image from the CI to system. Alternatively push the image with adb to /data/system.img when booted to recovery.
    Otherwise you could try ubports installer with only the systemimage:install command.
    You can also see the halium-install source code, particularly these lines.

    Be sure to check if this partition exists as partition schemes can vary.

    Just for curiosity, I made a libbinder_ndk libhybris wrapper, then ran the aidl utility through the actual .aidl files for IVibrator to generate bindings. With a few twists, it does let me talk to AIDL vibrator HAL using a very straight-forward code.

    Interesting and could be used to deal with some hard-to-manually-marshal AIDL protocols. There's no intention to actually use it in UT yet (hence the off-topic channel), but it could be interesting to someone.
