@GermanAizek said in [Nintendo DMCA] My Gitlab account is banned: Why UBPorts don't have self-hosted git like all open source projects? Maybe because it requires money and people to maintain such a tool ? And not all open source project have their own git, that's why tools like sourceforge or gitlab have so much open source project hosted on them.

@yannesc Yes the ones on Focal get OTA updates.

@shahraiz002 What apps are you talking about ? Can you give an example of an original app and its modded version(s) ?

@PiotrBujakowski Because there is no Ubuntu Touch port for your device. https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ And Ubuntu Touch is not the same as "Linux Ubuntu" for desktop, you can't install it the same way, like I said, it need to be ported by someone, maybe you if you have skill for, but it's a long and hard job to be done. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps

@BlipBertMon said in Ubuntu Touch UT tablets with phone functionality: PORT PLEASE!!! That's not a question that makes sense, as asked. There is not a team of developers sitting around somewhere and saying 'Now what device shall we port today?' In reality, most ports are done by volunteers, that means community members like you and me, who happen to have all three of these: a compatible device they can stand to risk bricking, the skills to port it, and the time required to do so. It's not a simple or quick task. It can take weeks or months. It's a lot to ask. So your simple 'PORT PLEASE!!!' is not going to accomplish anything.

@jojumaxx We will have to wait for the very next kickstarter campaign to respond. Because this smartphone would be under halium 14, therefore a new challenge for UT if it were done. Edit : It's much less than unlikely and more than likely

@domubpkm There is info on Alfreds new browser in the blogs and audio for the last few Q&A 141,142 blog for 143 should be in a day or so.

@thereverend, please note the All Devices page, not just the Promoted/Supported Devices. There are many good options in there. Also note, UT runs very nicely on older phones. I like this for the low cost of used phones, but even moreso because I find the amount of waste involved in getting a new phone every few years kinda gross. I'm also humming along happily on a Oneplus 5T from 2017. 128gb, 8gb ram, good camera, headphone port.. what more do I need? I just replaced the battery, now it runs for days! UT doesn't run on the device you have because nobody's done the work. As was stated above, it's plenty of work to make it all run properly on a given device, and this is mostly a community of volunteers, with a lot of important things to work on. You can learn a lot, work hard. and you can be the person to make it work on the Note 20. My advice though is that if you want to try Ubuntu Touch, read through the All Devices page thoroughly, find a device that suits you and is available and affordable in your area used, and try it out!

Hi @oidjhfhnnxoji , what apps do you mean? Almost all Ubuntu Touch apps that I am using are native apps, e.g. Axolotl, Pure Maps, Talaan, Notes, Tagger, TELEports, Seabass, ...

Volla Phone 22 has dual boot now again. I have the Android version and it comes with Volla OS. Volla OS is based on AOSP with some components from Lineage OS and specific components from Volla. I have Ubuntu Touch installed on the external MicroSD card as dual boot. UT runs quite fast from my SD card, I can use it as my daily driver. In some cases I boot Android, but most of the time I use UT. It is much faster than my Pinephone with mobian.

Sorry, but this is not a general Waydroid forum, it's just one for Waydroid on Ubuntu Touch. We do not support Waydroid on Fedora.

@Charly Not me that set it up but it is there now.

Hosed pendrive recovered, many thanks to PartedMagic. Then struggled to get YUMI Multiboot to install distros. Oh, yeah Windows 11, thanks for your "Folder Protection". Whitelisted YUMI, Ubuntu versions on pendrive, successful Ubuntu 23.10 install on ancient celeron machine, all data recovered, back up and running....:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@valentino-lazar JFI it's user and 147147 details in their install doc, and that is that.

@waydroidfan456 Yes, so you are on the Ubuntu Touch forum, we regularly get questions with respect to running Waydroid on Ubuntu Touch. Not sure how many people are around that run Waydroid on their Desktop too, which is what you seem to be doing. If you don't mind, I will amend the title of this thread to better reflect your issue. I will also move the post to off-topic. Maybe it will catch someone's eye there. But you might want to consider asking in a more general Waydroid forum. Concerning your issue, it seems Waydroid does not come pre-rooted.

@Vulpex Same happy returns! No need to have this post deleted, but I will move it to Off Topic. Cheers!

@kugiigi closed source apps are currently allowed in the Open Store, as long as they are confined. Of course it is now evident that apps accessing the network should be under more scrutiny. Too bad that is most apps nowadays.

@Vulpex Look at it this way, if you are wary of adverse effects of 5G, even without it being in use, then you should be suspicious of any 5G capable device, irrespective if the OS you are running on it is capable of leveraging the technology.

There are no phone batteries that are able to provide enough power for such a solution...
