    Anyone know of a way to forward SMS messages to 2nd phone number, when main number is unavailable (weak cell, airplane mode, etc) ? After many weeks of asking questions (here and Google) regarding voice calls over WiFi, considering software solutions and mixed (hardware / software) solutions, I finally had the sense to ask about voice call forwarding to second phone which has functional WiFi calling. Google said 'possible'. Carrier said 'we support that'. [just requires 2nd phone line, and phone, and remembering to keep it charged. tedious but workable]. I set it up & tested it. Seems to work ! So, now the last critical problem is no SMS over WiFi, when cell signal is too weak. My requirement is communication with 'average' user, who has only OEM android or ios messaging installed on their phone. That rules out asking everyone I need to communicate with to add and learn new apps. Asking google about that, answer was that any SMS forwarding solution would be linked to WiFi calling. Can anyone shed light on options here ? or UT plans or progress (testing status, etc) ?

    @arubislander said: @gandalf Yes there is. In the terminal, navigate to the folder you no longer want the files indexed and execute the following command: touch .nomedia This also works on desktop linux. Thanks, that worked (mostly). I had to delete the data and cache for both the music player and gallery plus do a reboot. They haven't picked up the files again.

    @oldbutndy said: But, it seems this would end up not reducing the huge number of variations for all the different phone models. Am I missing something here ? No, you are on to soimething. People forget that ARM hardware in general and phone hardware in particular is totally not standardized. So to get all the drivers for all that hardware upstreamed would be a huge endeavor. One, frankly that I am not at all convinced that AI is capable of taking on. And even if and when, new hardware keeps coming out with each new generation of devices, so you'd have to practically start from scratch each time. We saw how just the jump from Pinephone to PinePhone Pro brought in such fundamentally different hardware that the Pro never really caught up, software wise, with the original device. What makes 'mainline' kernels viable on x86 / x64 server and desktop is the high degree of standardization of the hardware in that area.

    @developerbayman did I just read meshtastic? Great! Could you also look into meshcore? Thanks for your efforts. Edit: Btw in the open store there is "Indra" app for basic meshtastic functionality. (I hope I remember the name correctly off the top of my head.

    I got an orange pi 5 too and even though I'll not be running ubuntu touch on it I can give two other answers for the why: Other than Mediatek Genio, rk3588 is one of the most powerful and recent (relatively speaking) boards supported by mainline linux, so this can be a real mainline linux port for ubuntu touch. https://liberux.net/ is trying to build the liberux nexx phone based on an rk3588s board. It's not going to be exactly the same as orange pi 5 but it will only be a small step from there.

    That page probably is not for what you expect. It is not really a membership registration page. You become a member of the community simply by interacting and participating. I think the page's purpose was to generate a list for a pool of volunteers and their skills in order to match them with project needs. But may I ask what you registered for? Maybe you can be pointed in the right direction to contribute by someone here.
