The Sailbook webapp provides for a good experience for Facebook in my use of it. One thing I like about it, better than Facebook on Android, is you can easily send and receive messages on it without needing Facebook's intrusive Messenger app. Missing features with Sailbook are lack of video chat, and lack of ability to view Live streams while they are being broadcast. As for Whatsapp - support is lacking and much better options for messaging services that provide greater privacy are Telegram (using TELEports client), Matrix (using Fluffy Chat), and Signal (via Axolotl).

@Lakotaubp see, told you so. I'm happy for you that you found a replacement phone/parts and your Op3 is working again. Unfortunately, the third party phone parts are sometimes hit or miss.

There you are: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4964/fairphone-3-fp3?_=1601277763588

@dave_f1 If I understand correctly you want to train yourself, so I think it is easier for you to create a simple app for starter. You can check the documentation about clickable and native app development: http://docs.ubports.com/fr/latest/appdev/index.html

@Lakotaubp I'm guessing it came from this: https://twitter.com/Mariogrip/status/1281356772897325056 And in addition there is the project to package Lomiri for Debian which would bring Lomiri to many (including Antix ?) . But still guesses ; will wait for @nexus5 to clarify.

@arubislander This thread I started was aimed to get insight in the possible porting of the OnePlus Nord. As such I hadn't planned to discuss the differences between Pinephone and Librem 5. And I shouldn't have posted my earlier comment, reading back I was wrong as I was referring to the binary blob for the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issue still in the back of my mind. I'm sorry about that, the last thing I want is to keep any misconceptions alive. The last sentence has been striked through and apologies to @PINE64 are in place.

The real question, why is this feature not tied to [CONTROL]+[+]/[-]? This is the expected UI/UX of almost everything these days.

@david-boddie Yes we finally received at least one device, but with the other activities which we had to start earlier (ongoing from last year already) we made a list of priorities, and Librem5 is in the queue. That said, a working Pinephone image will almost likely work immediately also on the Librem5, so there is not much to do basically. Anyone who has a Librem5 can try to follow the steps of Pinephone and see how far they get.

@arjun said in Are there any projects to run Android apk files run natively on UT?: @TotalSonic will android work as a subsystem on UT? Is that possible? Any pre installed FOSS client of playstore will be great too What you are asking for is Anbox. AFAIK Anbox is not an emulator but a containerized Android userspace running on the same Linux Kernel. That is almost as running it natively. Other than that, there are efforts to port Flutter to desktop Ubuntu.

@dobey That's really cool to know that

@dobey I haven't tried but gboard works so I just assume at least some other keyboards would work.

@Anahi Not sure you have the right site so moved to OT.

@AppLee Hey, no problem, at least you didn't outright delete my question! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: I understand a little bit more how UB works now, and I suppose it's a bit like Android in this regard, except it's not an OEM job. My phone has an SoC that's not completely one-of-a-kind, since other phones share it, but in the Leagoo inventory, it's an only child when it comes to CPUs, so I gather the manufacturer isn't too keen on investing time and dough in porting a more recent Android version to a phone that was released almost three years ago. I'll see the "Will you port my device?" part of the forum and see what they have to say. In the meantime, I'm going to familiarize myself a bit more with UB and how it works. Thanks for taking the time! Have a great one! (day, evening, don't know what timezone you're in)

@Kielligzind2 yes you can, someone said about slow and low RAM. But if you have a tweak kernel exactly. Nexus 7 2012 wifi will work out of the box, and I knew the tweak of kernel

@webou Hi, I moved your question to the Off Topic section of the forum. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x You can try to port Ubuntu Touch yourself, some without technical knowledge managed to do it with some efforts. You can check there if you're interested by the adventure: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps You'll find some help here on the forum or on Telegram.

@Tellina Wireless display/miracast in general are only advisable for media consumption and not for interactive things like using KB/mouse or gamepads for games. Currently, this technology isn't that good yet for those use cases. Personally, I don't really like using wireless display because I mostly have bad experience with it in any device I tried (Android, Windows, etc.). Regarding the background of your question, do you intend to develop apps for UT? I don't see a problem testing your apps on tiny device which they are will actually be running on. Or do you intend to develop apps directly on your phone instead of your desktop?

@Nathan123 Technically you can, but if you do so, you'll have to do it again after the next OTA. But there are "drivers" that can be seen as blobs ; those are provided by the manufacturer and cannot be changed because are tied with the hardware. Note: If you're thinking about fixing your wifi problem like this, I think it won't work. You problem is probably hardware related given that other OPO users don't have the same behavior. Maybe it is a bad memory sector and flashing UT again can fix it, but I think you already tried that and it didn't help.

I remember that someone was working on support for the FP3 but all information was in the Halium Telegram group. Does anyone know if things are still going on (I left Telegram for good and don't intend to return)?

@garyn4 said in UBPorts - Redmi Note 7 anyone seen this?: It loses the connection to the cell network. Then, its a problem, after all its a ceel phone.
