@nbdynl Directly donating money is always an option but I did try this last year and I got very little engagement from the community. I had asked for a 'promise to donate' rather than sending the money to anyone so there was effectively no risk for the donors as they would donate to the winner directly. When I asked for people to dedicate time or effort to create a reward (images, logos, etc), I got much more engagement. This is great but it can't scale well if you want to get more than 5 people contributing to the reward.

@RJDan here is a link to the last (2023) post done by a NodeBB member about it.

@messayisto said: You can set this individually in Dekko -> options. Go to Identities -> Signature Thank you for the tip. And I realise that, using the method you’ve described, it can be done with Mailo, for example, which is an app available in the UT Open Store...

@arubislander Thank you for the advice, it's truly appreciated.

One of the most interesting parts of this for me is the focus on mainline kernel support. A lot of alternative mobile/Linux devices struggle long-term because of outdated vendor kernels and limited maintenance. If the hardware can stay close to upstream Linux, that could make the device much more sustainable over time for the UBports community.

DeltaTouch is one of my favorites in the Open Store. It’s the perfect way to replace any messaging app. There are also excellent DeltaTouch apps for iPhone and Android. It’s hard to convince parents and kids to use DeltaTouch. That’s because WhatsApp has integrated “Channels” into its app since 2023. What are “Channels”? They’re kind of like OnlyFans for kids and teens.

@libremax This represents a change of direction (as I understand it). Eric H, who is one of the testers, was just as surprised as I was by this announcement. To be continued... I’m not complaining; the Brax3 is a great phone and IodéOS is a great AOSP. I hope the porting can continue (the latest image didn’t allow the phone to be used for making calls).

@hacknorris said: on laptop i mostly use pixelorama You probably don't see it because you are on noble, but if you can port it or find someone willing to do it this exists under xenial : https://open-store.io/app/pixelorama.orama-interactive You can also try to force install it on noble but with high risk of malfunctions.

@gpatel-fr i'd say its more general experience coding/compiling, i will say the real barrier right now is enough ram to compile and have a few browser tabs open.

@oldbutndy said geometry dash: Anyone know of a way to forward SMS messages to 2nd phone number, when main number is unavailable (weak cell, airplane mode, etc) ? After many weeks of asking questions (here and Google) regarding voice calls over WiFi, considering software solutions and mixed (hardware / software) solutions, I finally had the sense to ask about voice call forwarding to second phone which has functional WiFi calling. Google said 'possible'. Carrier said 'we support that'. [just requires 2nd phone line, and phone, and remembering to keep it charged. tedious but workable]. I set it up & tested it. Seems to work ! So, now the last critical problem is no SMS over WiFi, when cell signal is too weak. My requirement is communication with 'average' user, who has only OEM android or ios messaging installed on their phone. That rules out asking everyone I need to communicate with to add and learn new apps. Asking google about that, answer was that any SMS forwarding solution would be linked to WiFi calling. Can anyone shed light on options here ? or UT plans or progress (testing status, etc) ? Standard SMS can’t be conditionally forwarded like calls when your phone is unreachable—carrier forwarding usually only works for voice, not texts. Your best options are enabling Wi-Fi Calling + SMS over Wi-Fi (if your carrier/phone supports it), or using services like Google Voice or call/text forwarding apps that mirror SMS to another device. Otherwise, your antenna solution (or adding a signal booster) is the most reliable workaround without changing how others contact you.

As an update, a draft MR was recently posted on Gitlab using the BeaconDB api (directly,not via Geoclue)

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1405/please-use-general-category-for-what-it-is Kind of the answer to your question.

@libremax true. Thanks for the hint

Let's see if I can be quick and snag one of them. We're eagerly awaiting new products.

@arubislander that makes the most sense i was so confused like "how?" ...that makes a ton of sense also my settings lol

@MrT10001 lol when you say sanctioned immediately im thinking of nintendo and that emulator they made shut down ....it was like the most forked repo at the time or something like that
