Just pulled Blender from Debian repositories in Libertine.

I just thought I'd chime in and say that there is a way to make the GUI slightly better for touch screen use.

Hopefully it helps; I have a Oneplus 3 on the way in the mail, and I have every intention of using Firefox when on UT.

Samba is buggy on uTouch.

Try to access your samba server via file explorer app, and prey for it to work.

I am on a N5 and would like to sort how to have audio from a website keep playing after the screen is turned off. Will keep trying things...

Works for Opel Insignia handsfree, I can test for some other cars as well.

I don't have much data on this but to me it feels like this was a general issue, not specific to particular BT sets...

@throwaway Sorry but Ubuntu Touch cannot be flashed from an external sd card unless it's on a PinePhone There is an app ISODrive that lets you run an OS from your phone like on a flash drive. Maybe thats what you where remembering. There was a port started for the Moto g but I don't think much has happened for some time https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

This topic should be marked as "solved".

Best regards,

@danqo6 said in Podbird lacks faster playback speed settings.:

If I remember correctly, that bug affected only pinephone, in code was for some reason playback speed set to x3 https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~michael-sheldon/podbird/trunk/revision/204 and almost no phone was affected with that

Hi danqo6. I'm using a FP2.

@AppLee Thanks for clarification!

@3T_Ed said in Megapixel app for Pinephone:

have it be an AppArmor confined app

Humm, that's not possible at the moment 🙂 .
The camera app is unconfined for a reason and it's the same limitation for the video chat feature.

Of course having a person fully dedicated to the one task of making camera experience better is a good idea.
But the contribution from Pine64 (10$/PP Ubports CE) is not enough to hire a good engineer for a year.
And, as I estimate, that will be roughly what is needed to focus on camera app only without the vast amount of work required for device specific issues with their camera...

@Tellina said in I asekd at VollaPhone to purchase an image for GigaSet GS290:

Well, I never had a desire to go back to Android.

I would like to keep the Android around for dual booting. Just in case and for things like bank TAN generator apps ... while trying to keep the beast in check with firewall, Shelter etc.
Maybe even focus on understanding how to get the dual booting first and then keep UT as the secondary OS on a SD card?

So I did not cared for a backup at all.

With regard to backups I am more conservative, thinking it can never hurt to have one at hand. 😉

I don´t have much knowledge about porting but I think there must be a LineageOS for GS as per my incompetence it is the source for ports.

I thought the ports are based on stock Android or AOSP?
Could not find a LOS for GS290 at their official site or elsewhere.

And there are many ports with status WIP these days for GS290

Could you please help me with a link or two? My search engine did not show me any. 😞

one from postmarketOS

Could not find it there (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices) ....

and /e/ as well.

...nor any GS290 on https://doc.e.foundation/devices/. 😢
Any hint where you have seen these would be appreciated.

Or are you referring to the build for the Volla phone, since this has the same hardware as the GS290? Found mention of that for pmOS ... might be interesting as a tertiary multi-boot, as it gets a lot of work now due to the Pinephone.

Nope, never used TWRP.

Having that would solve my backup issue. Don't know if I want to try doing a dd.

Like I said, maybe I made factory reset, but I think this was just for the wolf.

If impatience wins I might yet follow in your steps ... 😉

Thanks again and have a nice evening. 🙂

@stropbu
Firmwares are not made by ubports, nor canonical in the passed days.
OS is what they make and you're talking about ☺

@Juan-Téllez I have added a translation to your post. If you could please use English in future. We do have a Spanish? group if that's easier https://t.me/UBPorts_ES others can be found here https://ubports.com/meet-the-community

thanks a lot.

@Yuri It is definitely not cross-platform. It is a browser for Android only.

@nebulom Shhhh, don't wake the mods! In one's original post there is a box called "Topic Tools" with drop down menu. I think the idea is to mark post as a question when posting first time, then solved or whatever.

This is a very mysterious blocking problem ! 🤔

@Emphrath OTA-13 bring some core refactors to help halium 7.1 ports. Each device still has to be ported on Halium 7.1 instead of 5.1. The port for the FP2 exists but isn't the official one yet.

@nexus5 Think that Ubuntu Touch is a project to participate in, not a product to buy from.

Opinions and wishes are ok but we need people to help. So, this looks something you are interested in and know about. Maybe a perfect project to start with
