    Hello.. My feeling, maybe I'm wrong is that some UT users wonder what are the models of smartphones, with which version of halium, are of the future and will support both Noble and Volte, including for the Volla. ... And if they will have to buy again a new smartphone. I only understood that the Fairphone 5 is a safe bet: is it well with Halium 13 when sold now with Android 14? Is there an official post (or will have ?), full procedure, to flash Noble on Fairphone 5, when we are or not on halium 13 ? Is it possible or sure that Fairphone 5 will be sold with UT (Noble) ? Can you clarify the supporting models (which will quickly support) Noble and Volte with the corresponding halium, including for the Volla? Thank you and good luck for the mass of work that all the developers make for the transition to noble and the volte support.

    I was looking for a solution how to fix videos corrupted during recording with Google Pixel 3A + UBPorts OTA23 (16.04). There was an issue described for example here: Re: Video recording not working on Google Pixel 3a XL which resulted with videos that had absurdly wrong FPS. I had videos that were 3 minutes long but appeared as 15 hours long. Sound was ok, but the video part was viewable about one hour later. As the phone was used as daily driver (and still is but currently with Focal) I had some important videos recorded with it that I was very motivated to repair. I didn't find anything on the internet so here is a bash script that I created with help of chatgpt, that does the job (I wouldn't know about existence of MP4Box without chatgpt, obtaining a good result was much easier with that program than with ffmpeg): #!/bin/bash # Target FPS setting FPS=29.97 # Create a directory for the fixed files mkdir -p fixed # Loop through all .mp4 files in the current directory for file in *.mp4; do echo "Processing: $file" # Base name without extension base="${file%.*}" # Demux (extract) video and audio streams MP4Box -raw 1 "$file" -out "${base}_track1.h264" MP4Box -raw 2 "$file" -out "${base}_track2.aac" # Re-mux into a new MP4 with corrected FPS MP4Box -add "${base}_track1.h264:fps=$FPS" -add "${base}_track2.aac" -new "fixed/${base}_fixed.mp4" # Clean up temporary files rm -f "${base}_track1.h264" "${base}_track2.aac" echo "Done: ${base}_fixed.mp4" done echo "All files have been processed and saved in the 'fixed/' directory." The synchronization of voice and picture is not ideal but for short videos it's ok.

    @ezst036 You have to unlock the phone first and then you can directly access the files on your phone via the filemanager on your computer.

    The last days I've used the navigation a lot for a motorcycle tour and it was very annoying when the navigation freezes. I've played around with noble on my spare phone and it seems, that this bug is present there as well So hopefully we'll get this fixed in near future, to have a reliable working navigation again (as we had in 16.04). Is there anything we can provide to the devs @costales @rinigus or help in any other way?

    As kugiigi says, Ubuntu Touch is using an obsolete version of Mir (1.8) with dated Wayland support. Also, most of the Wayland support in Lomiri comes from Mir (the rest comes from Mir's support for "custom" Wayland extensions). The consequence of that is that there's no much prospect of improving the Wayland support in Ubuntu Touch without first updating it to use the current version of Mir. The good news is that is work currently going on to get Lomiri working with the current version (2.20) of Mir. As of today this works on the machines of the developers involved and is close to landing in both the Debian and Fedora archives. However, it will still take significant time to get the rest of Ubuntu Touch migrated over to this newer stack. That is probably the task that can most benefit from help at present. After all that is completed, it should be possible for Ubuntu Touch to track the current version of Mir, and Wayland support will follow Mir. It is also possible to contribute to Mir's Wayland support, but that won't help Ubuntu Touch at present.

    Yeah, that seems to be a known issue with some system messages not being fully localized, even when the main language is changed. It looks like that “No text message sent today” line might be hardcoded in English or just missing translations in certain languages.

    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.

    Hi @Rondarius IIRC the question was asked in a Q&A or on Telegram. There is currently no official contact between the UBports foundation and Liberux. But of course our door is open and they are welcome to try and port Ubuntu Touch to this device. The more the merrier. And if they have some issues while porting they can do the same as any porter and contact us on the forum or Telegram for help. The foundation do not have the means to kickstart ports for devices. The Fairphones are a good development base as they are rare devices to support wired external display and have very good performances. With this exception, we rely on devices contributors have and want to have working with Ubuntu Touch, in other terms a personal goal instead of something driven by the foundation.
