    @drikk Didn't realize that option worked so well. Thanks for the tip!

    Perhaps this could be worth a web app / bookmark in the Open Store, just so people see a working Matrix option if they go looking?

    I continue to think Matrix is a great candidate as a solution to the problem of supported messengers on UT, especially with the success of "bridges" to many other messengers. Could allow communication with several messenger ecosystems at once.

    @Salah
    I had not seen that you had opened a post after me concerning this problem and therefore, I do not open a post on 20.04 focal, and I join the conversation on your post, since I see that you have more success than me ...

    @MrT10001 Focal worked for me with a OP5 about 20 mins ago. Not much help for you I suppose.

    I've already opened an issue for this (https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/halium-generic-adaptation-build-tools/-/issues/12) but I've been staring at this issue for a few hours.

    I am trying to port to samsung-a5xelte using the standalone kernel method detailed in the guide. I have followed every step correctly to my knowledge, however I'm getting the error No rule to make target 'halium.config'. The file is present under arch/arm64/configs.

    Link to kernel repo: https://github.com/ArcaEge/android_kernel_samsung_universal7580/tree/lineage-17.1

    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:

    123.png

    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 β†’ 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.

    @Arnoldko
    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.
