@miguelpam06 said in Request to make this operating system available for Vivo device: Hello, I would like to support for a Vivo y39, what do I need to do? I've translated your message, because this is an English-spoken forum. Here is the porting documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/ This will explain what needs to be done.

@Pierlink_Cloud This forum is for discussions and help on Ubuntu Touch proper, so your post is bordering on being off topic. I have moved it to the off-topic category for now. Let's see if anyone can help you transition from LXDE (or is it LXQt now) to Lomiri on what was originally a Lubuntu installation to your laptop. I will say though, that the recommended way of installing Lomiri on Ubuntu is to start out with Ubuntu Server 24.04 and install Lomiri from the PPA.

For future readers - they are not sorry. It's just yet another attempt at gaining sympathy after going a step too far (this time after they got timed out on Telegram). They argue in bad faith and seem to think they are always the smartest person in the room, forcing their genius ideas on everyone. And once that's rejected they go with some sob story about how they just wanted to help and are being treated unfairly. Let's not feed the troll.

@LordDestro34 said in Is there an alternative OS for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T813 /SM-T813NZDEXAR)?: I would like to know if Ubuntu Touch is planning to support the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T813 /SM-T813NZDEXAR) and the later models in that matter. I don't know but I wouldn't bet on that.

@Keneda https://forum.fairphone.com/t/is-fairphone-b-v-struggling/117307/41 They made a big loss in 2023, a small profit in 2024 and are projecting a loss again for 2025. The thread also has some other details and a lot of speculation. I am not saying that they will go bust tomorrow, but I think they need to reevaluate their strategy. Personally I think they could learn a bit from how Framework does it and lean into repairability and upgradability.

@k.eleni There's really no pipeline. It highly depends on individuals who have the device and willing to do the work and risk their device for bricking. So far, there's not much good history for both Samsung and Pixels. Pixel 3a has a good port but I think it won't even get VoLTE because of some issues with it stack being too old. I don't know if there's any Samsung port that is good. The safer bets are the Fairphones and Volla phones. Also not that I'm pushing away, if your concern is privacy then maybe Android ROMs like GraphineOS would suffice?

@musicologist you can also try MirVNCServer App, connect with vnc client from PC and record it there. But I am not sure about audio...

@Keneda There might be a plugin issue but I stress might as I cannot see any reports of other issues. Will find out who looks after mollie payments and let you know. Might be worth another try.

Hello. I'm replying to myself: it seems that the ticket is still open and ultimately still being processed. Let's wait and see... https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/ubuntu-touch/-/issues/2238

@wally I've been using paypal, is that maybe not the best option either?

@stanwood Thank you, realised I had put it in the wrong place.

I'm interested in an example, too.

@hisacro - well, the longer term future is never all that clear, but in the more short to mid term, there are ports being worked on for the Furilabs FLX1, and the Brax Phone 3, that should be promising options for those that want to support companies that target their products specifically to be privacy respecting. After that, the Fairphone 6 has been announced and will very likely get a UT port as well. Volla, despite being a small niche operation, has shown some resilience and consistency, with UT support being enabled for every device they have released, so I think we will see more from them in the future as well. Pixel 5, 6, 7, and 8 (and variants of these) should be doable for Halium based ports, it just takes someone that owns one of these devices, that has the needed patience and technical know how, to volunteer for this effort. Regarding Xiaomi phones in the future (which includes brands such as Redmi and Poco), those were already kind of a pain the a to get their bootloaders unlocked, and with Xiaomi's new HyperOS (their new bloated skin on top of Android), they have made it even harder to unlock. I had to use a third party hack called "Hypersploit" in order to unlock a Poco X3 NFC which came with HyperOS 1, and apparently this hack no longer works on Hyper OS 2. Best reagrds, Steve Berson

FINALLY!!! had to manually resize the partitions for no particular reason that made sense ....no really iv flashed UT on this like 2 dozen times ....i must have flash a borked rom with that android 16 and did something to the partitions ....idk didnt make a lick of sense to me ....ok it made sense
