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.

I were already in the RND on this , also this is already possible i even run kivy inside clickable confined app .but a bit experimental .

@Dave try to use sapot browser where you can set a custom user agent. Maybe it will work.

lol im turning into a record .....insert prattle here as it applies as well ....

Hello @GeekBone LTE works fine on compatible devices, which means that if your device has an LTE modem and your service provider has coverage, you can use the data connection leveraging 4G. Regarding VoLTE, it has been reported some successful experimentation on specific devices. At this stage, if you're not involved in the development of Ubuntu Touch, it is not possible for you to use VoLTE on any device. Plus, those results were made with 24.04 (Noble), so basically VoLTE won't be available for Focal and further less for Xenial. And there is also some further work to get done until VoLTE is ready and available on some selected devices. Progress has been done, encouraging work is still in motion, but it is not ready yet. VoLTE is a feature that won't be available on all devices, so it will probably appear on the device page and it will fall on the maintainer(s) of a port to enable it. Currently there is hope that the work done can be more or less replicated on other devices sharing similar SoC, but it needs to be proven as sometimes manufacturer do strange things when logic dictates they should have done things the same way... I hope this clarifies things a little and also hope I didn't betray the amazing work done/in progress to bring VoLTE to our community.
