@cliffcoggin Hi, People who are able to donate a significant amount of money are used to getting what they think they will get, otherwise it will be returned or claimed. What is not possible with donations, so they will be careful not to spend a lot of money in advance, but they want to try it out to form a satisfaction ranking, on the basis of which they decide what it is worth to you. Only with hobbies and other passions or for donations to charities, the money plays a subordinate role. It's just the way it is in this world, you can't deny it or change it. Greetings Mario

@nero355 You're wrong, people looking for answers to problem search the proper sub-category "Support", not general discussion about the OS. Rules were made to make everyone's life easier, we have no gain in repeating ourselves so people are kind and respectful to each other as well as posting accordingly.

@dizzy said in Which phone model would be best for my requirement?: I'm also wondering what device to buy. I was thinking of a Xiaomi Mi A2 but I'm not sure where to find one. I can't find any of the ones on the list... I have the same issue at the moment and that's why I think there should be some plan when it comes to the phones that Ubuntu Touch is ported to... Especially now that there are very good low end phones powered by SD480 SoC's which have become a lot faster than they were before and those phones are often shipped with 4 or 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of storage! Think of the possibilities!

@keneda said in Devices pages need love: I don't know how the hell i managed to misclick that far but sure i didn't want to, i intended to post this myself. I'm so confuse... No big deal, but just saying... The other day I somehow managed to close my browser with one move while I had multiple tabs opened so uhm... yeah... stuff happens! :grinning_squinting_face:

@lakotaubp Thanks!

@flohack BTW see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/7235/known-issues for my last big issues

@kugiigi said in Left bar masking question: If "masking" you mean hiding and you mean when no app is open then no, it'snot possible. It is possible, but it requires some changes to the code. If I'm not mistaken, you don't even need to compile something and just edit some qml somewhere on the phone. But it's a hacky thing and I would discourage you to do such thing unless you fully understand what you're doing.

@keneda True, but for some reason we decided not to do the same at the time I did hear a lot of good things about it! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

@moem Speak a little quietly on the Youtube Viedo Thanks for the Video and good Luck for 2022.

Thank you that is a clear statement VoLte possibly in 12 months. So I won't have to ask that question anymore. I think Ubuntu Touch will work much better with Ubuntu 20-04 as a substructure. I understand that this will be a Mahmut project for the developers. Good luck guys, you can do it already

@cibersheep Ok, thanks CS.

@kristatos Just here everything is always done 10 years later

@trwidick said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns: Do you want facebook messenger built in to the os like most android phones? HELL NO!!! :pouting_face: @dobey said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns: I don't know if the ffmpeg stuff does hardware decoding on PCs or not, but I think probably it doesn't either. FFMPEG supports Hardware Decoding for about 10+ years now! That's what Kodi/XBMC uses and the moment FFMPEG got Hardware Decoding the VLC Player got it too! @bigmouth said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns: @trwidick Wish: Enhanced start menue I'd like to be able to create directories to sort my apps. Also I wonder if widgets were possible, e. g. the clock app to show current time at the desktop and the weather app its information, too. Widgets are the garbage of Android and Windows systems and have no use on Ubuntu Touch since you can easily scroll through your opened apps But Folders would be nice for sure, however please keep in mind you simply might have too many apps installed and many of them are easily replaceable by your browser! @keneda said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns: I don't know where do you live but in France SMS/MMS are unlimited and free of charge with any contrat... And i think it's the same in quite all countries in Europe, so yes, MMS is commonly used. In The Netherlands MMS was basically EOL before it was introduced! I am really surprised to see soo many requests for MMS Support Oh and MMS works with any smartphone, no need for the same "messenger" app installed in both sending and receiving phone, it's GAFAM and third part app free. Dunno man... I really REALLY like Telegram : It works on all my devices and syncs all Chat's completely unlike all of their competitors! ** Di sound on my Android phone ** Open Telegram on my Linux Laptop and read the message! Or my Windows Gaming PC Or any of my Ubuntu Touch devices ofcourse!!! :grinning_squinting_face: 100% AWESOME!!! @trwidick said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns: @keneda A agree this can be very Important. I use youtube at work everyday. No better way to find a teardown of a laptop that needs a new motherboard or jack replaced. I wish i could code our problems away, but i do not code. The pixel 3a i think has hardware encoding, youtube works quite well, with out buffering, or skipping frames I might be wrong tho. Encoding is not the same as Decoding and we need Decoding via Hardware Acceleration in this case! As much as I hate YouTube the last 5 years or so : We really need it inside TELEports for example! Or perhaps VLC for Ubuntu Touch in the future ?! @dobey said in Wishes, Dreams, and Unicorns: @keneda Well, yes, GPU is used in Linux by browsers too, at least for rendering acceleration. Using hardware decoding if available, in Linux, has always been trickier because it's not something drivers tend to provide, for example, and AFAIK GStreamer and other things don't have decent detection or handling of such things. That is sadly VERY TRUE : Hardware Acceleration and Decoding of video's in Firefox for example is only available for about 1 year now! And with all the new stuff going on with V4L2 it continues to be a ongoing drama story... See : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=libreelec+nvidia+gpu+v4l2 My personal dream is simply to have this : https://c1.iggcdn.com/indiegogo-media-prod-cld/image/upload/c_limit,w_695/v1603110770/ysxni2y7ulluzwlnw3fl.jpg Ubuntu Touch with Convergence On any phone, for any phone! And the ability to simply use Desktop Software in Convergence mode! All phones should have had a hardware keyboard and a stylus pen for a very long time now! But some fruit brand guy decided to ruin all that and now we are stuck with onscreen keyboards which are not suitable for our huge fingers! :pouting_face:

@lakotaubp That's funny on my Pc and Ubuntu Touch device it's not. Only on my Android system only when I call up this post. That's weird, was I hacked?
