@naizena It might still be worth considering a wireless display option if it's important to you. I'm sure wired is a better solution, but if not possible, it's nice to have another option. I was going to suggest the Microsoft Miracast Adapter V2, which has worked very well for me with several different UT devices.. but it seems the adapter is no longer produced and it's hard to find a used one. Does anybody know of any other wireless display adapters that work well? Mine wasn't cheap, $60 CAD (€40), but if using an external display is an important feature to you, it's a shame not to be able to. I get minor latency in display (well under 0.5 seconds), and two-finger scrolling doesn't always work when using the phone screen as a mouse. But with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it's great. And while not every app is well set up for it, on the whole the OS functions very well in desktop mode. I hope you're able to find a solution.

@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...
