    Let me add some background (maybe someone has previous experience with this)

    The source code for the docs used to be at https://github.com/ubports/docs.ubports.com/ and hosted by Read The Docs at http://docsubportscom.readthedocs.io with the custom domain docs.ubports.com configured in this RTD project. The cloudflare DNS points docs.ubports.com to readthedocs.io and that setup worked alright in the past.

    In order to move over to the new repo at https://gitlab.com/ubports/docs/docs.ubports.com we've created a new RTD project at http://docsubportscom-gitlab.readthedocs.io and moved the custom domain over to this new project. But now we're faced with a "CNAME Cross-User Banned" Error 1014 instead of our docs 😞

    Contacted RTD support to see if they can help.

    Dear Friends,

    Hope you will have a wonderful moments for your family and beloving people.

    I have a suggest for Lomiri Launcher which I have noticed while adding more indicators such as weather. It seems that notification indicators will be half or quarter appear (while remaining shape is hidden under the launcher).

    As per attached picture:

    I suggest that Lomiri Launcher (White Section) from the top of left corner to be removed and only (Blue Section) would be the edge of this launcher. This will prevent any cross might occur between additional indicator and the edge of the launcher it self. It is good to be considered in upcoming 24.04.

    @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.

    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.
