@RobTheBold I've tried this phone (Global model) with AT&T, RedPocket (AT&T) and Mint Mobile (T-Mobile). The first two don't work at all. Mint works for voice and SMS but not MMS or data. I'm giving up on this one and returning it to EBay.

@Smirftsch Yeah, the idea of Dekko or another email client as a core app makes sense to me. Longer term, I thought at one point I heard talk about trying to fork Thunderbird, possibly via Snaps, which will be enabled by default in 24.04. But I'm sure that'll require some work to function well in UT. Meanwhile, I hope some other input about email usage, and Dekko specifically, can help make UT more useable for you.

@TotalSonic thanks for that, really I'm interesting to see what possible solutions might be available.

@Alain it's great to read your good news! Thank you and I hope your daughter will enjoy her tablet for a long time.

@johndoe we are working on a plugin to lomiri system settings like Libertine plugin. I already have most things implemented in backend, mostly lack some generation control over nix/home-manager left other then that mainly implementing the main UI, I have a design ready just need to implement it.

@DenMoore Oh thank you! Nice start indeed! I think WayDroid needs some patches to run properly, this is a "porting" stuff. I'm sure it will come further.

@kristatos I concur! There are guidelines outlined by the gsma for an RCS client and from what I read from this reditor there are even Servers outlined in the GSMA docs for sending RCS messages for some carriers. It seems that SixDigitCode has made some great points for how a RCS client could be built. From what I see they have a handle on this spec, and it might be worth seeing if they are still around on the internet? I will post again with the updated documents from the GSMA and work on trying to break them down Helpful Reddit posts Post 1 Post 2

@harrisonpatm Please do! And let us know how you get on.

@arubislander said in Can I boot to tty/console only?: While it may not be exactly what you asked, you might be interested in a post I wrote on installing LXD and running LXD containers on your UT device. I'll be trying this now, thanks for the advice

@developerbayman x86_64? I don't think that'll happen. You probably already know that Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux distributions are almost always x86(_64) (meaning they're operating systems for computers). But... Ubuntu Touch is specifically customized to run GNU/Linux on phones, instead of smartphones running default operating systems like iOS, Android, or HarmonyOS (yeah, I'm adding that here because it's a real OS). If Ubuntu Touch had an x86_64 version, I'd find that very strange... Ubuntu Touch's interface is Lomiri, so there's already an x86_64 Ubuntu "distro" using that.

@mschmids Since some changes in mattix sdk cause the problems, it may well be that element web faces the same issues as cinny, because it likey uses that as well. Just a guess, though.

You can install Termux on any Android Tablet and run a full blown Linux desktop there. It's relatively easy to setup and works very well. That's at least my replacement until something comparable is reached in Linux OS world. The Volla tablet should get support on UT soon, at least I hope so and look forward to it.

I cannot edit so update in new post: I am able to boot into fastboot mode using standard key combination and trying install ubuntu touch.

Updated: Now this script is almost unnecessary on Ubuntu/Debian or some Ubuntu/Debian based distros, it can still run the old script fine. But I still do this project so that other Linux distro users can still build without any problems.
