@Charly There was an app before but I don't think it's available on focal. Also, it might only work on select devices like the bq device.

@Charly I've not tested it on my 20.04 device, there I'm still on version 0.4.1, because with 0.5.0 Dekko becomes unreliable and that's not welcome on my daily device.

@Opolork I think the main concern about UT support is the last kernel version that the device has. For example, the older devices like Nexus 5 and bq E5 are not supported anymore because Ubuntu 20.04 has features or functionalities that need things from a newer kernel version that those devices don't have. Technically it is still possible to do but it'll take effort from someone and that someone doesn't exists There could be other things that might matter in terms of support so it basically depends on how much effort is needed to stay supported and if there's someone willing to do the work

@darshpreets said in Running a Home Server on Ubuntu Touch – Feasibility & Experiences?: Hi all, Has anyone here successfully run a home server directly on Ubuntu Touch? I’m curious about: What kind of services you’ve managed to run (e.g., web server, file server, SSH, media streaming) How stable the system is for 24/7 operation Any limitations due to the read-only root filesystem or confinement Recommended tools or packages to make it work I’m considering using an older device as a lightweight home server and would love to hear real-world experiences or tips before I experiment. Thanks! It’s possible but with some caveats. SSH and small web servers work fine, but heavier services aren’t ideal since the system isn’t really designed for 24/7 loads. The read-only root means you’ll rely on Libertine or container setups to install extra packages. For long-term stability you’d be better off using a lightweight Linux distro on the same hardware if that’s an option.

@domubpkm said in Is there an easy way to dual boot Android and Ubuntu Touch?: @Opolork More old but less expensive, dual boot on Volla 22. Thank you. I'll weight my options.

@wally For now I haven't seen any crash yet with the app configured as such. But I do see freezes/crashes in Morph browser while using Google maps, therefore I guess the crash/freeze might be more related to Google Maps intents, than the GPS.

@_moh_eb_ said in Stuck in downloading the last file: In my attempt to install ubuntu touch on my RN8P in the download section, after downloading all the files, it downloads the last file until the middle and then stays in the downloading mode, but the download does not reach the end, I tried several times, even with another computer, but the problem still remains, what Do you suggest a solution? @MrT10001 said in Stuck in downloading the last file: @_moh_eb_ How long do you leave it for as it may take some time? @Rondarius said in Stuck in downloading the last file: @_moh_eb_ Have you tried to use usb2 ports and cable on pc? Usb3 is known to cause problems during installation. if you don't have access to usb2 ports on pc, you could use a usb2 hub instead. Use a USB2 cable & port (USB3 often flops on the last file) Try running the installer as root / sud Disconnect & reconnect device mid-install Switch networks or use VPN from the appstore (sometimes servers block final chunk)

@gpatel-fr Can confirm Fairphone 5 VOLTE works as expected on 24.04. Battery life has been great, SMS works, MMS (I have not tested with the final release of 24.04 only a RC) worked but only with WiFi off AS OF 9/16/25. Otherwise I think its fairly solid device and works well with UT.

@wgarcia Very good idea, will try this!

@arubislander said in Trying out UT on Pixel 3a XL for review article: Opening an issue about it on the Installer's issue tracker will keep the info from getting lost. Done! https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/4177

I casually watched a part of that Q&A session! This thread was mentioned and it will be looked into: https://www.youtube.com/live/XorXLuKl2KE?feature=shared&t=1202 I have a question regarding Liberapay. I'm donating to ubports-foundation: https://liberapay.com/ubports-foundation/ But there also is UBports, which is a team ubports-foundation is a part of: https://liberapay.com/UBports/ What's the difference between them? Perhaps UBports was created first and, when the foundation was established some years later, a new account was created? Should we donate to ubports-foundation? The PayPal, Liberapay and Patreon images on the donate page do nothing when clicked: https://ubports.com/donate

Welcome! If you're interested in using Ubuntu Touch, I'd say the best bet is to read around the forums a bunch to see if Ubuntu Touch will fit your needs, and if so which device from the Devices list will suit your needs and try to find one that's available and affordable where you are.

@Winnie625 said in ubports and wereables question (smart watches): Has anyone here tested a Suunto device on Ubuntu? Would be cool to know how well it syncs. We can safely assume it won't sync at all since there is no matching companion app for Ubuntu Touch.

@wally The lack of MMS was a big sticking point for me, good to know it might just take some messing around to get it working. Hopefully the new APN settings will resolve my sms/mms issues. @arubislander Good to know! Once I get the SMS/MMS issues ironed out I will do some playing around and see what I can come up with. If I could somehow get bitwarden and firefox I would be set. The default browser is pretty rough with the scaling bug on the FP5.

@padraic I don't think Snapzor even works on Noble. For me it doesn't open. But yeah, you don't need it anymore to enable snaps on 24.04. However, it may serve as a GUI for installing snaps or as a snap store if ever the dev decides to still make it work on Noble. I've already tried snaps on my FP4 and Pro1-X. Sadly, it's still not a reliable option for apps. Most GUI programs doesn't work well or even open. Big improvement on this will come with an updated Mir and Wayland support Hopefully that will come soon
