AI 2 : RCS and Ubuntu touch : little hope ! RCS on Ubuntu Touch: Technical Feasibility and Possible Solutions Your Question Can the RCS protocol be easily ported to the alternative ROM Ubuntu Touch based on Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04? Are there technical solutions? Direct Answer Yes, Ubuntu Touch presents favorable technical opportunities for porting RCS, but no solution is currently officially operational. Favorable Architecture of Ubuntu Touch Unlike AOSP-based ROMs, Ubuntu Touch relies on a Linux-native architecture with Qt/QML technologies for its applications. The official messaging app uses a history-service backend and currently only supports SMS/MMS, but its modular design offers the flexibility necessary to integrate an RCS stack without the constraints imposed by the Google Play Services ecosystem. Three Identified Technical Paths 1. Native Qt/QML RCS Client This approach would allow directly implementing GSMA specifications within Ubuntu Touch's open code. However, this would likely require GSMA certification and potentially direct agreements with telecom operators to access their RCS servers. 2. Waydroid as Android Container Ubuntu Touch already includes experimental support for Waydroid, allowing Google Messages to run isolated in an Android container within the Linux system. This would provide full RCS functionality while maintaining the de-googled base system, although this maintains some indirect dependency on Google services. 3. Porting Third-Party Applications via Click/OpenStore Ubuntu Touch's Click package system already allows deployment of complex applications like Delta Chat. A compatible RCS client could therefore theoretically be ported to this ecosystem without resorting to proprietary frameworks. Prerequisite Conditions Required Regardless of the chosen approach, several conditions remain essential: Access your operator's specific RCS servers as they vary by region Obtain GSMA certification if developing an independent client rather than using Google's Manage history integration with the existing history-service backend to ensure data consistency between SMS, MMS, and RCS Current Status and Outlook As of today, no official RCS implementation is available on Ubuntu Touch. These proposals are based on technical discussions documented within the UBports community which identified these possibilities. True viability will depend on mobilizing active contributors with the necessary knowledge in telecommunications protocols and Qt/QML development. Without dedicated community investment, these technical paths will remain theoretical despite their demonstrated architectural feasibility.

@fischer.poco said: @turtle_racer Thanks for the help and comment. Now, if I understand correctly, I should reinstall OS Oxygene... and then reinstall the entire UT? You're welcome @fischer.poco ! No worries man. We all had to learn this initially (myself included), so you are doing great. You are past the hardest part in my opinion which is having a phone with unlocked bootloader! So, congrats on that! OnePlus has really clamped down and seems to not give out unlock tokens. Yes, you are understanding correctly. Re-install correct OxygenOS version and reinstall entire Ubuntu Touch. I think you should be good from there, but if not, just post in the forum and there are many kind people here to try to help out, such as @rocket2nfinity and @rondarius and others. Good luck!

@pparent That is so clever. It looks like a speech balloon but it's a bird. Love it!

Just for information, I'm kind of back to square one: after power-cycling the Quintus, the BT connection to the laptop drops immediately. This time at least, there is a trace in 'journal': Jun 30 13:13:52 ubuntu-phablet bluetoothd[2915]: src/profile.c:ext_connect() Headset Voice gateway failed connect to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: Connection refused (111) (where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx stands for the laptop's BT adaptor MAC address). No equivalent error has been found on the laptop.

pparent said: I've noticed a bug that is a bit problematic: I cannot allow a QML5 app to have access to the microphone. For example if I install the Recorder app, without previous install, I cannot record anything, because I cannot allow it to access to the microphone, no authorization dialog shows up. I guess the same may apply to position permission. After a reboot the problem seems gone. I don't really understand because I had tried with several different apps and got the same problem.

@KoJans said: That worked in a few minutes outside. Glad to hear it!

Thanks for the hint. Yes, both work correctly. The physical volume buttons change the playback volume. The system volume slider (volume indicator) also changes the playback volume. Only QMediaPlayer::setVolume() has no audible effect, although the property itself changes correctly. So it looks like the backend ignores the player's volume while still using the system media volume.

@iceman198 The clickable software will output a .click "Clickable" From what you posted you have installed the clickable software on your Ubuntu machine as a Snap package. I have it installed from the ubuntu apt repo. If the software is now working for your needs then it's nothing to worry about.

@mariogrip FP5 build 144 I can half confirm @shafiqalibhai report about external storage, for me the external storage is seen and mounted (it can be used from the command line), however it is indeed not seen in Places. For reference, here is how it appears on 24.04-1.3: [image: 1782922294134-places_2404.jpg] clicking on the 'name' (well, id) of the device allows to browse. With 26.04, the display is identical but the entry marked with an arrow in my screenshot is missing. While I'm at it, I have noticed that in Morph browser, it's not possible to share an URL: the menu entry (Share) exists, however clicking on it does nothing so it's not possible to create a web site icon with Webber (this works in 24.04-1.3)

@Luksus said: @Moem yes, same applies for the OP5(t). Thank you. Then I'll just wait patiently.

@gpatel-fr Merci beaucoup pour ces informations je vais orienter ma recherche du côté de Volla

@nbdynl Thank you again for your replies. You are right, the app actually works great.

@Moem Looks promising, It could be just what I need. Thank you!

@Keneda UK yes, that's what the original post was asking.

It did NOT break my GPS in fact I'll give you a rundown of what I did to get to my original conclusion. Installed Navius having used my GPS with other apps (like PureMaps) before. Saw Navius not getting a GPS signal even though I was outside for a while (15 to 20 minutes). Saw PureMaps not getting a GPS signal even though I was outside for almost 40 minutes. Then I panicked (since I really need GPS on my daily) and searched for information on how to fix the issue, then I found out about the test_gps command and saw it showed the above message. I tried changing locations, rebooting, taking the battery out, changing update channels and I was seriously considering having to re-flash my phone but I saw a post about someone saying that the test_gps command is unreliable and can miss-report GPS functionality. In the end I moved to a more populated area with better satellite signal (apparently) and I got my GPS working again after a bit of waiting, even though the above command said otherwise (and it still gives me the same output). I feel like I ow the developer an apology . I wish I could edit my original reply. I'll be giving the app a good shot now and share my feedback! But really what is wrong with the test_gps command? Any idea why it works for some people and not in this particular case?

@Persinto since you want to use it as android phone, then any

@sambk Have you had any luck?

@UBportsNews Is 24.04-2 supposed to be ready for click packages based on Qt 6 out of the box, i.e. without any Qt 6 related install_lib entries in clickable.yaml? If so, the clickable docker images should probably be adapted to contain a Qt 6 dev environment (but this might have to be discussed with the clickable maintainers). And a question regarding the lomiri-ui-toolkit snap: Any plans/timeline for lomiri-ui-toolkit-core26? DeltaTouch would really profit from Qt >= 6.6, but snap based on core24 only offers 6.4.
