@Moem The banks in the UK are really pushing you to use their app. For example if you log in on a browser, it will push you to authenticate with your app on your phone or tablet. The banks have close the vast majority of counters and now run a service (no cash withdrawals) where a van goes from community to community on set days for all banks to cater for those who don't online bank. Likewise if you do need a big cash withdrawal (i.e over 1000 euros) then they question you like you are a naughty child. (Think of Greta Thunberg saying "how dare you withdraw your own money, how dare you!). Then to work you now have to have an authenticator app and I have to have the M$ authenticator, no choice. If I don't have it I cannot get into works systems! The UK is really going to rack and ruin......

@ancientsounds said in Do you think you know Ubuntu Touch ?: @libremax With more and more people getting unhappy with Google and Apple, there must be a great opportunity for some manufacurer and retailer to offer for sale a great off-the-shelf UT phone now? For the moment we can already congratulate ourselves for the consistency of Volla, which has been producing and marketing UT-embedded devices for 6 years and promoting them on its website, the new partnership with Brax tech, whose launch of the Brax3 was a success, and the forthcoming availability of UT on this device.

@bestenaizena No problem. Helping one another is what this forum is all about.

@fake-alex So what's the plan... are you offering to send these devices to people who want to try to make a port for them? Developers need to have the device in hands.

@wgarcia To some extent, "Praise Ubuntu Touch, it's finally suppertime!"

@MrT10001 Me and another person here on the forum tried upgrading Sony Xperia X from focal to noble, but failed. It is stuck on the bootlogo and one of the devs or porters wrote that they are still investigating in it. So the Sony Xperia X is on the list of non upgrded devices.

I struggled with this on UT. Eventually I installed dufs webdav server and I've been using that with morph. I can download files from the PC easily and I can push files to the PC easily as well using a web browser. I can even stream videos from the PC this way!

@bamboy360 thanks for the feedback. 1- This is how Unity works. There is a difference from the Launcher that from the App drawer. 2- It has been some discussion on how to simplify all the indicators... 3- Inverted portrait should work as default but some porters blocked that feature.

@grenudi We've been more than tolerant when you came in swearing and calling us names... when you don't even use Ubuntu Touch anymore. Please don't push your luck. If you go on like this, you will wear out your welcome fast. Please consider this an official warning.

That is not a supported device, as far as I know. This means that there is no version of Ubuntu Touch for it. What exactly were you planning to install?

@pparent said in Taking the plunge: It's aslo the banks that edit passports? I'm not sure. I live here but this is not my country. Banks handle secure identification for just about anybody else here though - government website, justice, healthcare, DMV, post office, insurance companies, utilities...everything. It never fails to blow my mind that the locals are okay with private financial institutions basically spying on your every important moves online - the ones where you have to use your real identity: if you have business with anything or anyone in an official capacity, they know whom you deal with and when. But at least one of my colleagues got a painful reminder: he tried to get a loan to buy a new house and his application was declined for no reason that seemed to make sense, since he never missed a payment or got so much as a parking ticket. After some digging around with a friend who worked at the bank, it turned out the bank figured he had a drinking problem based on appointments he made online with his identity at the local equivalent of the AA and classified him as a potentially delinquent wino. And another thing that blows my mind is: it doesn't seem to bother any of the local politicians that the entire life of the country - since most everything is done online here - is entirely dependent on two foreign mobile OS vendors operating in a fascist country, with a history of abusive monopolistic practices and privacy invasion. Because I guarantee you, if the local banks know what you're doing here, Google and Apple do too. If this was my country, I'd be distressed that those two companies are the virtual gatekeepers of the entire communication infrastructure of the country. It's totally nuts if you think about it.

@Moem Great idea!

@kristatos There are understandably some errors at the beginning of 24.04-1.0. When is the next release supposed to come out? That would be 24.04-1.1? Greetings Charly

Just a quick question: anyone knows if there is a particular difficulty to build Signal-desktop (Electron app) as a .click package? Because this would be a major addition to Ubuntu Touch. Knowing that Mobian have binaries and build scripts for ARM ( https://github.com/0mniteck/Signal-Desktop-Mobian ) (And after we could certainly tweak the interface to make it responsive, like it is done on whatsapp web which is a very similar interface.)
