    I run Ubuntu Touch on my Volla Phone Quintis. On my Volla tablet I currently have Volla OS based on Android 15. I want to switch the tablet to Ubuntu Touch as well. I asked Volla support; they said they can do it for €50, but I could do it myself with the UBports installer. UBports says the Volla tablet is built on Halium 13, so I assume it needs Android 13. I asked support how and where to obtain an Android 13 image or how to downgrade, but their only response was that I don’t need to install Android since Volla OS is based on Android—they didn’t answer my questions. I also asked whether Volla OS 15 uses Android 13 userspace, but got no useful response. They sent a link to an SP Flash tool, but at the same time insisted I don’t need to install Android because Volla OS is Android-based. It’s confusing: they said I don’t need to install Android, yet they sent a flashing tool. Does anyone know what I should do?

    @diego28a said: Simplified File Sharing: Will the 2.x series finally integrate Bluetooth into the Content Hub? For a 'mainstream' user, not being able to share a photo via Bluetooth from the Gallery is a major dealbreaker. Note that there is an app for that, see this thread: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11833/trying-to-revive-ubtd-bluetooth-file-transfer I succeeded in transfering files to/ from an Android phone (before a kernel update for my Fairphone 5 broke some Bluetooth features unfortunately so I can't test right now if I can send a photo from the gallery but I believe that it could be possible with another phone). It's a bit new and there could be some space for improvements but it exists.

    @Privacy-freedom You need to gain a bit more experience to create a .conf file properly and ensure it works as intended. Don’t forget to make copies of your working settings. AI can also be helpful.

    @Moem ABN AMRO works fine in Waydroid + microG, with root even (although I have it hidden from Magisk).

    @gpatel-fr Hi, thanks for the reply. It was a new device purchased from Amazon. Not pre-owned nor refurbished. I recall the battery drainage to have been more consistent on previous releases. I'm sorry if by abbreviating my story, some details might have been lost. About two weeks ago I tried to make the Fairphone with Ubuntu Touch my daily driver, and I had consistent battery drainage then, similar to what @otadr described. As I need some Android Apps for work, I tried to live with waydroid for some time, but ultimately decided against it. Wednesday last week I went on a flashing spree which led me from LineageOS via /e/OS to IodeOS and back to Ubuntu Touch, just in time for the 24.04-1.3. I did not observe this battery drainage on the previous Ubuntu Touch release, nor on the other ROMs. Cheers

    Radio-alarm One of the things I like: waking up to good music. So I made a radio alarm app. It plays an internet stream URL It has customizable volume, fade-in-time and snooze time It shows a notification dialog with snooze option It has fall-back audio if internet connection fails It is based on systemd timers and services. For details: see the documentation. For the first alarm, you need to type or copy/paste full URLs in the app. Not the nicest UI-design, I know. The ones below may get you going: http://icecast.omroep.nl/radio4-bb-mp3 http://icecast.vrtcdn.be/klara-high.mp3 http://radios.rtbf.be/classic21-128.mp3 http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_23461179/live/ww/bbc_radio_three/bbc_radio_three.isml/bbc_radio_three-audio=128000.norewind.m3u8 For the fall-back audio you also need a URL (of a local audio file). Limitations the app is unconfined, because I have not found confined ways to show a notification dialog (I am not the only one, see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11375/send-notification-locally-from-qt-c-qml-app.) create/delete systemd service and timer files in ~/.config/systemd/user (the app uses QProcess to do that) play audio streams (internet or local) windowless (in the background); I now use an executable built on GStreamer all alarms are off after reboot the notification dialog disappears after a period of 10 minutes; to switch an alarm off after that time, open the app and tap 'Stop running alarms' you can test station URLs and alarms, but the UI is quit provisional Testing If you feel like trying it out: please do & comment! download the source https://gitlab.com/janvle1/ut-radioalarm-3 build with clickable

    @steffend I understand now why my search for Pixel9a on the forum didn't get anything, it because of the space... and that's why I don't include it to make searching easier.

    @lsitongia I had missed the part where you said you were testing PR packages on the device.

    @stephanmartin You might have to find someone to donate a device to, because in order to make a port the porter would need to have it on hand. Generally the easier route by far is for you to go and get a supported device.
