  @kugiigi - I gave that a shot, but sadly a lot of the problems I've been having are still present. I can see that they're making a lot of great progress, so I'm excited to see where the phone's at in 6 months time.

  When I read the proposition of Lionel I thought about the most popular fully featured apps. For me, requirements to get into this kind of repository should be something like: UT app (port of existing app to UT, native app) Popularity the user base should be large enough to draw developers/designers to contribute Of course popularity is hard to define, but I agree that some advanced apps should benefit from the visibility given by the foundation to help find people to contribute. I also agree with @dobey that the separation should be clear between community apps, core apps and the OS. Problems are who could be in charge of the gitlab, how to manage access rights, etc. I have very little knowledge of how it can be done. Meanwhile if a developer cannot continue maintaining their app, the forum is a good place to call for a new maintainer and ask for help to keep a nice project alive.

  Introduction Hi, could someone help me set my VPN properly? I successfully configured server and client on UT with rpi, pihole and pivpn on it. When cellular data connection is poor and it's being interrupted, vpn disconnects and I have to click its switch so many times. It could be wonderful if there will be option to set is as always active like in android. Maybe there is specific nmcli command? Question Can I mark my VPN as "always active" and device will connect to it every time device will have wifi or cellular data connection? Soultion here will be discovered solution.

  @gimait @Flohack does. But he's on vacation right now. If you want faster help, the Anbox development thread has compiling instructions and more knowledgeable people than I. Help on Anbox would be wonderful and is greatly needed.

  @3T_Ed said in Clock Redesign Ideas: [...] Why is it you're not sure about it? I feel it a bit ugly... it needs a magic thing I recall some would like to add a classic/numbered ring and 24/12h, will there be a slider on the back-end to support that? I was thinking in deleting the clock completely. I would imagine no one can read analogue and you have the clock on the indicator at all time... so both feels a bit redundant and/or useless. @cliffcoggin said in Clock Redesign Ideas: It looks fine, but apart from displaying the clock dial it does not seem to differ from the existing alarm page. I see I cannot trick you Feel free to send your sketch

  For those interested I cooked up a minor update taking care of a few missing things and the bug with saving the configuration for the first time. It contains the same binary as before just mainly cosmetic. Click packages can be found at the link. https://git.sr.ht/~thrrgilag/pantalaimon-ut/refs/0.3.0 I'm still working on chasing down the image loading issue in FluffyChat as well as getting cross compiling fully sorted. Progress continues.

  Voice-speaker is using bottom speaker and voice-speaker-mic is using top mic. Is it correct? I would expect top speaker and bottom mic. @fredldotme I didn't notice it when listening to mp3 music but when listening to flac music, the sound is popping. I'm using bigger latency again to avoid this and I think we should use deep buffer flag as the default setting for suzu if you agree. @Giampy What kind of problems with the sim card data connection? What kind of notifications?

  I have been working to get solutions for syncing my Zoho contacts and appointments, as well as Discord, and with that done I want to try using UT on my Nexus5 again as a daily driver. However, being a tinkerer I find doing that on the phone painful and would like to get UT working on an x86 netbook that last had Ubuntu 14.04 installed. The support page says that they need a config file to support x86, but I can't find any documentation on how to create or submit one. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? Also, I've seen several mentions that apps in the store do not support x86. Is that still true? James

  To lower the boundaries for potential users and to increase (the perception of) Ubuntu Touch to be a viable alternative to the mainstream OS's, I would like to see a Ubuntu Touch Suite as a solid foundation to build the platform on every stakeholder will be able to benefit from and should in turn even generate more (Pine64) hardware demand. Not sure as to where the revenues from Pine64 Pinephone project have been allocated, I believe investing in a Ubuntu Touch Suite will not only pay off for UBports and be beneficial to current UT users. It should attract a lot of mainstream OS users to Linux based phones and UT in particular. Both Pine64 and the Document Foundation could benefit from this development. A Ubuntu Touch Suite could be an AppArmored application including: a LibreOffice LITE version; an email client (further improved Dekko2 ?); virus scanner/firewall (debatable, still a good feeling for newcomers); in order to cater new UT users with applications (license/collaboration with Document Foundation) what they would expect out of the box and not having them to dive into terminal commands from the start. Any thoughts?

  @Mark Sound now works (HDMI and audio jack) on recent images with a newer kernel. Apparmor can be made to work by making some kernel changes (copied from similar changes made for the Pinephone) but this is not yet in the downloadable image.

  Hello, I have a spare OnePlus One and a Fairphone 2 that I thought of donating to someone who wants to contribute to the project but lacks a working mobile phone for it. If you are interested, just DM me and I will take it from there. Best regards, Mgns
