@A_Zurburich said in Help to escape from android !: Pinephone is good if u want to buy new and I believe u can choose to have ubports pre-installed. Plus long last support, open source hardware with privacy priority, and get rid of proprietary androïd software components ^^

@Matteo555 If you look here and it is the same device then you can see work has begun on that device https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ If you can assist you may want to get in touch with those working on the port.However as there is no active porting thread for that device at present I am moving this post to Off Topic.

I have added a translation for the reason mentioned by @Keneda who has also very helpfully pointed out the current state of that device port. As that port is not active I have moved this post to Off Topic.

Music is being played by the media-hub. It sends Mpris2 compatible signals on dbus. So a small service (for example in python) can pickup the meta data of the played tracks and send it to LastFM.

Good points and I totally agree (also have ordered the pinephone) but I'm hoping, maybe overly optimistically, that we can steer them to open source hardware and grow enough in numbers because of successful pinephones to make it happen Because I see the pinephone as a proof-of-concept and would like something more high end as a daily driver :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@TotalSonic said in Volla Phone to be soon in UBports devs hands!: as far as I can see the fault in that lays with Purism's mismanaging and over promising, and not with any lack of cooperation, effort or desire from the folks in UBports. I don't see where i said the opposite. I talk about purism yes, about the fact they sent devkit like 6 month or more late to ubports, and it was made with maintenances parts. I talk about the fact they didn't send a single Librem 5 even if there are some phones in the wild now. And i talk in a general maner when people just fork projects or make the wheele again from scratch "no i don't like how they do, i'll do better"... I mean we need a strong GNU/linux mobile OS alternative to GAFAM ones, not five or more actors spinning out end users and devs skills. I though we got it with UT since five years i'm using it, but no, not to everyone in the linux community as i see, and i'm quite disapointed with that.

@Marathon2422 Never seen it neither and i follow uTouch since Ubuntu One was anounced for crowdfounding, and later have got my MX4 when it came out. Anyway it will not be ubported unless owner of one decide and have skills to.

@dobey OTA on PinePhone working on latest images from about two days ago @PINE64 said in PinePhone: Hey all, a significant milestone has been reached - the PinePhone now supports OTA updates. If you have a BH phone, you can download the image here. You no longer need to reflash to stay up-to-date, just update. The image also features a significant performance improvement.

The thing is, youtube gives you more exposure, it might be possible to use this as the main platform for the live show, but it'd have to either be broadcasted in both places at the same time, or treat people who view it on youtube as second class citizens, and make extra work for Dalton, as he'd have to broadcast the Q&A then he'd have to make sure he has a local copy, and then would have to upload the Q&A to youtube. I dont think its wise to not exist on Youtube.

@tigerpro said in Don't have a microphone? Don't worry, UT can do this for you...: I wonder if this solution could also be adapted to make sound on a HDMI connected screen work It cannot. You can of course use a 3.5mm to RCA or such adapter, to connect the headphone jack to the audio input on your TV, to get sound that way, but there is no support in the pulseaudio hybris modules currently for sending audio output over the HDMI when a Slimport/MHL cable is connected.

@ImmyChan Hi! Here are the wallpaper submission guidelines: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-wallpapers#how-can-i-submit-more-wallpapers Thanks for your help.

@Keneda but if you are looking for hosting a forum yourself, I would rather recommend Flarum. Discourse is also great, but a bit heavy on server resources.

@msshaqfa Your device would need porting the details are here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps. When you have started the port or need help with it you can repost in the porting section of the forum. Our current supported device list is here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

@guru See the link on your mailbox

Just moved your post please see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x

@pparent I asked about the chances of ever getting OpenSource drivers for modem etc., on the UBports Matrix channel, and got an informative response: the bandwidth and power is tight and - quite rightly - needs to be constrained. OpenSourcing the code would presumably make that unpoliceable I did wonder though... if chip producers could give the end user some confidence, by publishing the code, or by making it in some way ReadOnly. (I fully realize how paranoid I sound : I just can't help but think that we're sleepwalking in Orwell's dystopia. )

Just to let you know that I changed my mind about this kind of app after reading this document (in french), showing many security problems inherent to any app like this: https://risques-tracage.fr/docs/risques-tracage.pdf
