Hi! What do you all think about the idea of a button to donate to porters/maintainers on the Devices webpage, similar to how it works in OpenStore? Also, a note. You folks are very patient with some of the live Q&A questions. If you ever think it needs a moderator or something, let us know. It could be nice to sift out some of the more entitled, ungrateful people demanding that miracles be worked faster by largely unpaid developers. We appreciate you immensely!

According to the question @domubpkm : Will the milestones be updated to the actual release schedule? These dates and milestones are outdated but in earlier days it was a nice place to look at which OTA will land at aprox. what time.

@UBportsNews And many happy returns!

@Kristoffer_Umea said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 155 Call for Questions: @arubislander True, but UT can install Android apps due to Waydroid so I fail to see what's going to break. For one, not all Android apps work on Waydroid. And it is not often possible to know beforehand which will and which won't work. Waydroid is a layer if I'm not mistaken. Not exactly, Waydroid is a container, in this it is different to WINE on the desktop. WINE is a translation layer for system calls. Waydroid is actual Lineage OS running in a container. For your use case, this would mean having it running in the background constantly, which currently would drain your battery very quickly. Of course you are the only person who can decide if these tradeoffs are worth it.

I have Focal 20.04 OTA-6 installed on a OnePlus 6T a few weeks ago. Now in the Updates list there is a notification that Ubuntu touch Version 17 is downloaded and ready to install. But the Install button is not working, because the Restart & Install process (specifically, the software restart) does not generally work on OP 6T. Anyone know a workaround? Will OTA-7 fix this bug?

Hi @kuailexs For device info on the devices website see: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/about/device-file/ , you'll find the file format and templates. I don't know about adding repositories for a new device. I'd try asking in the porting group on Telegram.
