Update 7 August 2025: we have discovered a an issue with video recording on Volla Phone X23 and broken camera and audio support on some Volla Phone Quintus. This requires us to delay Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10. The team at Volla are working to fix the issues; we'll provide the new RC once these issues are fixed.

@RJDan No such thing (yet) as far as I know.

@Simmonz similar behavior, but different cause I guess.

@peat_psuwit Thanks!

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 is released. Thank you everyone involved in the testing. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-9-focal-release-3962

@Keneda I just get know.

There is No update after February 25 for noble next.

Hi @Plarde Thanks for your contribution. And you're right, it's important to discuss such matter. I don't know how involved you already are in the system development. I'll make the assumption that you're more an app developer from the argument you made. So I don't want to go too deep as this is a topic that I don't master. One argument that can be made against it is that it will make the system image grow even larger when it's already too large for some devices. So the current situation is that such library/framework have to be packaged within the click. I guess the clickable template with already included SDL is a very good idea and should help developers wishing to use SDL tremendously as not many people are familiar with clicks and it can be cumbersome to build a simple app... I'll let other people prove me wrong or go deeper in the explanations. Kindly yours.

@readyblue Hello. If this application is indeed an apk for Android, have you tried extracting it (via apkextractor for example) from the Android phone, transferring the apk to the UBT phone and installing it in waydroid? I've recovered a few apks from my old phone this way. Some work, some don't.

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-8 is released. Thank you everyone involved in testing. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-8-focal-release-3953

Since this needs to be implemented in Mir, this feature will have to wait once we move to Mir 2.x and fortunately Marius already have it working so there's progress Someone just needs to be willing and skilled to implement it

@AppLee said in New contact backend story: Hi @lduboeuf Thanks for your work. Do you need help? If I can be of any help, please PM me. I rely heavily on my calendar on the phone to sync well with my Nextcloud account. Of course welcome. The issue we are facing is related to an update in signond afaik. So out of my skills Mike is looking at this normally. After that being fixed, testings on contact sync will be ready. But local contact is already there with the new backend already test able. I'm currently working on error feedbacks for user ( re prompt for password, and UI notification on failure with contact sync ). A missing part is also for address book via Bluetooth.

@ricardo65 With the latest daily build, it works with my Redmi Note 9 Pro (Orange provider) For me it's the Lomiri message app that can't send a new SMS. (receive is OK) while SMS sending works in command line with ofono.

@Lakotaubp It also got the error a few weeks ago then I just tried it again and it worked. Anyway, let's see if there's any news about it
