Simjacker security vulnerability, 3 interesting links for Francophones : https://www.icrowdfr.com/2019/09/17/1b-utilisateurs-mobiles-vulnerables-a-lattaque-de-surveillance-simjacker-en-cours/ https://www.clubic.com/antivirus-securite-informatique/virus-hacker-piratage/actualite-869774-simjacker-faille-sim-permettrait-surveiller-quasiment.html https://www.cnetfrance.fr/news/cartes-sim-faut-il-s-inquieter-de-la-faille-simjacker-s-t-browser-39890831.htm

I tried numerous combinations of acceptable kernels and roms no dice through multirom for ubuntu touch unless it can be installed manually and not through the app somehow. Once you have proper a multirom twrp, multirom zip, and kexechardboot accepted kernel it is still possible to multiboot any other roms aswell as sailfish os. The multirom app itself is the problem because it always says now "failed to get information about the updates". The only way it was possible was before was clicking the option to install ub through the app which no longer appears unfortunately. It would be great if someone could revive this or modify the app to work again. If anyone does still have it configured this way don't uninstall it or you'll be pretty bummed like I was when I went to install it again.

@saveurlinux That's pretty much the same as reflashing. You can get the same result using the latest installer now and NOT choosing wipe https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.2.6-beta

@TotalSonic said in Open Store's warning sucks big. Can we have a "Safe Store"?: If they were honest - both Google Play Store and Apple iOS App Store would come with gigantic ominous warnings for tons of apps as well - but they don't Well, they do, but the wording isn't scary, and you need to understand the permissions systems to be able to understand what's being asked for when installing apps; but people aren't taught to understand this. Also, the Ubuntu Touch security model is largely based on what iOS does here, so they are quite close, though I don't think iOS has an unconfined profile like we do.

@Ken said in I'm Looking for a Replacement to my Android Smartphone OS: @Lakotaubp Thanks...I think my main question was going to lead to "Can I install UT on my current Samsung Galaxy S9 Edge to ditch Google altogether That question has already been answered.

hello guys, how to give root permission on anbox? are the same way with desktop anbox version, or ubuntu touch anbox have different way?

@FishFingers44 said in Syncthing: Hi When is syncthing going to be updated for the new UBTouch? When somebody volunteers to update it.

@hummlbach Well 2 different things, the push type just needs adding of a message in the push helper, while the other one in the app is more work

@mbzadegan These are the supported devices at present https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io so I'm afraid you cannot run UT on your device. You can try porting if you wish, info here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps There are also some work in progress devices here https://pad.ubports.com/p/r.fbf463250adef36ec3bc33a7f5f6be93

@advocatux Thanks! Anyway, I think a touch centered distro won't work with Dex. The device is supposed to work as a touchpad, when an external monitor is used. Don't know even, it'd get installed. Thanks anyway.

@Rodrigo I think @dobey has now fully answered all the technical issues you have raised in this thread, and the link I added will give you all the info you will need to take a helpful and contributive part in the UBports and Ubuntu Touch Community. Which you are more than welcome to do. We are a very friendly and welcoming community to those seeking advice and help. Negative, confrontational posts help no one and waste everyones time. If you have any further specific questions on an item or process I would ask that you post it in the most suitable of the existing categories. Thank you for your understanding.

Yup, portable monitors are pretty common now. In fact I have one 15.6" Touchscreen and works with type-C. It's only 1080p though Sadly, there are no currently supported device that can use type-C to video out. But mostly has mini-HDMI so that could work with Nexus 4/5/7 2013 for now

The first step (which is more like a leap over the moon), would be to get the differences from the current ofono build (which is a fork that was maintained by Canonical at the time, and has quite a lot of changes from upstream) reconciled with upstream ofono, so we can upgrade to the latest version. There are about 45k lines of changes between our ofono, and upstream 1.17 (which our fork is based on). This will require a lot of patience, and will require some knowledge about MTK modems and such, as we'll need to keep most of the changes from the fork when updating.

@ogogon hi, please take a look at this https://forums.ubports.com/post/21219

@jezek no problem at all.
