Yes, well summarized @MrT10001. Though I'll note that not all of North America has lost 3G support. Here in Canada (at least while we remain a sovereign nation) 3G is alive on all carriers for now. Sunset dates range between July 2025 and Dec 2026. My impression is that a bunch of nations in the south of NA still have 2G and/or 3G as well. If it were me though, I'd either go with one of the pricier but clearly supported devices you listed, or try to hold out a bit longer before buying something, to make sure it works well in 24.04 (and that VoLTE starts working, if you'll need it soon). My guess is that the coming weeks/months might make it all a bit more clear which devices will have a good future with Noble and VoLTE.

@Lakotaubp Thanks for your quick reply and your following steps in that direction.

Thank you all! Here are a few path to explore. And some interesting topics to explore.

@peat_psuwit said in On the subject of Ubuntu Touch versioning scheme: We've considered 24.04 OTA-x.y. Unfortunately, (re-)using the word OTA could set the wrong expectation; by using the word OTA, many users will expect incremental, frequent updates (AKA rolling release). Don't worry, users will expect unicorn rainbow farts anyway and while updates are a bit slow, technically UT is a rolling release I'm really sorry that you have this sentiment. I also don't want to change the versioning scheme, but both the technical and practical reasons forced us to re-think how we will version Ubuntu Touch. Don't be, it was mostly a joke, and, while I may not fully agree with the reasoning, it is overall a pretty minor change. I've been on the other side of this experience plenty of times. As a user I get upset about minor changes because they make up a much "larger" part of the user experience vs the experience as a developer where this is an "insignificant" side quest compared to all the development work actually being done Also compare this change to the hot mess that is the current naming schemes from both intel and AMD

It works. You need to have the OTG USB stick formatted to FAT32 and access it through the file manager on UT, then tap the three bars on the top left and scroll down and it should appear at the bottom.

@Lga It might be available on FOSDEM own channels like last years iirc. Check their website for info.

Good idea, I've noticed it too, not sure how easy it would be to fix but it would definitely make sense!

@bhdouglass Thanks for the post, and for all your work!

@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
