@danfro said in Add a launcher to the app drawer to run a command: I actually had to add the line with "Type=Application" before the script launcher would show up in the launcher.. I'll move it to the top part then, thanks for the feedback!

@manoiese As @AppLee said you don't sound rude, just honest. But what you don't understand is that Ubuntu Touch is like that since the beginning, Canonical made it that way (read only in first) and users like me that adopted it since that time don't need a phone system with full access all the time. Like already said if you want you can make it full read/write in a persistent way. Or like you experimented, temporarily untill next reboot. That can be useful, but for normal users for whom the system is designed, again, since the beginning, it is not mandatory or a normal use case. If you want to continue with Ubuntu Touch on a normal way, you should consider trying to achieve what you want/need in respect with this particular behaviour of the system, like some Devs already did with crackle or things like that, I'm sure this would be a welcomed contribution. Or maybe, like said @AppLee also, Ubuntu Touch is not what you need.

@Moem Sorry, yes I have yoused a german Word for AI. My post should show an alternative solution approach.

@linhmieu not in the supported devices list: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ So probably no but it's up to you to try to port it: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction/Intro.html

@Jacobmilton9386 said in Mi 10i Snapdragon 750G processor same as fairphone 4: can I install Ubuntu touch No, it's a different device. Each device needs to be ported separately.

thanks for the reply, thats good to know as saves me wasting many hours trying make it work. I will try to find a phone that will run the latest UT version too!

@domubpkm That's the site I was looking at. Under "android9plus" there are all the devices listed. And for almost all of them the last build is from 28.11.2024. But before there was a new build almost everyday. I'm on devel with my volla and make updates normally around every two weeks or when there are some interesting merges. But for now, the last build is almost a week behind.

@arubislander Thanks for the advice, will put into consideration and will dive thru Gitlab to see if this issue was discussed bedore or not. Any suggestion from my side while exploring the UT will be notified for sure. Thanks.

Thank you @libremax

@Keneda It's a longish story but basically no.

Hi @jojumaxx As far as I know, it is easier and faster to create a port for Ubuntu Touch on an Android than it is on the PinePhones. You seem to think that the time from contributors can be managed like in a company ; that is simply not true. When a porter has a desire for Ubuntu Touch on a device they own, they invest their time doing so and share it with the larger community. And that's probably not time they would have invested in Pine64's devices or another Ubuntu Touch related project. A major chunk of development time is actually spent on keeping up with Ubuntu LTS. A effect is the Qt version supported and it lead to the fact that our browser is out of date. If we had the manpower a better strategy would be to keep up with Ubuntu Stable and update every 6 months, but that is out of reach at the moment. To answer your question we are not running after Android and there are few ports to newer devices. The exceptions I have in mind are Fairphone5 and Volla better we are partnering with them. We partnered with Pine64 but it was very difficult to improve with the drivers provided if I understood it correctly. I for sure would love to have an open hardware phone well supported by Ubuntu Touch. But it has some challenges that we could not address without compromising the OS so focus shifted. Now if you can motivate enough skilled developers to improve the Pine devices situation that would be great and welcome by many I'm sure. What Oren is doing with the PinePhones is remarkable, you're absolutely right. And I'm sure he appreciates the gratitude love and if you can donate it's always appreciated...

Update: I removed the proof of concept web app from the OpenStore, because I have no time right now to regularly restart the server or to fix the stability problems. It would also not make much sense to improve something, that will not be used. It is all available under GNU GPL3 at: https://gitlab.com/AdamSchrey/open-store-payment-poc So if anyone wants to revisit the idea, he/she can do so. I am also happy to answer any questions about it. Thank you all for the feedback

Thank you!

@s10ley ok! "sudo apt install mc" working!

Telegram preference wasn't really a choice by the community. It's mainly because Canonical amd Telegram had some kind of a partnership and there has been a native Telegram app for Ubuntu Touch right from the start. We even have push notifications working until now. Moving to Matrix is ideal but that would mean a need for a good native app and an intentional push and effort.
