@peter-gamma Its different for XDA: Everybody knows that on XDa the community is a fair mix of official and unofficial stuff, with probably more "home-brew" stuff so people wont blame XDA for a non-working ROM right?

XDA community is supporting a vast amount of different Android ROMS, and its up to you what you choose. You are responsible all by yourself.

However, on Ubuntu Touch its a bit different: The community expects basically that whaever we publish is working very well, as our old devices have a good record of being fully usable as daily drivers, at least from the porting point of view. Putting a device into a) devices page, b) installer, c) forum gives it a look of being an officially supported device, and so we want to ensure minimal functionality at last, to not scare away people with semi-finished ports that will never get complete.

So for a porter the motivation should be: If you try hard to get your device at least working to 90% or so, you can get into the installer. We list you on the devices page with "experimental, wip, community device" mark if you are not quite there.

But for the forum? Well its a bit difficult, I agree. We could add all devices "just so", without putting any rules. But I really think that would create a ton of subforums with no traffic, until a device gets more popular, and so its really not worth.

XDA is used by thousands of people daily, we might have a few hundreds. So also from traffic perspecitve I dont think that is really needed.

@dimka The answer is simple, LineageOS is a modded Android, Ubuntu Touch is totally different: Different kernel config, different use of partitions, different structure of the initramfs etc.

So, that all makes it hard to cover every case that users might have depending on:

if they repartitioned their device if there is still data in the system partition which will prevent correct boot if data has been encrypted if the vendor partition is from a different Android release

And more ^^

RC channel fixes this.

@sjackson The envelope is empty, its not a pending notification 🙂 - it will turn green if you got anything. Send yourself an SMS to test...

As for LED: It is

white solid for charing green solid for 100% charged green blinking for a notification pending orange blinking for critical battery level

@pavelprosto For me the Python isn't the part I am worried about. There are lots of books about python. What's still vague for me is what comes, when you have written the python file(s)? You get lost very fast ... Qt, qml, pyQt, QtQuick, pyOtherSide ...

I know there are lots of YouTube tutorials about Qt / qml, but what I have noticed is, that there mostly unstructured and for me personally not very helpful.

Your examples on the other hand are very helpful because you can see how - a not very complicated - qml file looks like. When I start with qml I will most likely need them for my app. 🙂

I would really love to have some bridge to Telegram or Matrix. If somebody has not too complicated solution, please let us know.

I can test with my 2xl

@alexjoverton The issue affecting dekko is accross all devices on the dev channel at present until a fix arrives. The answer for now no matter the device is RC or stable as you state.

@kugiigi Naa, devel on daily driver for life 😃

@povoq said in Ubuntu Touch in Japan:

I need an easy way to flip the table in any chat: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

You ruined dinner! ٩(╬ʘ益ʘ╬)۶

@johirhaquedipok What OS are you using? Dev mode, usb debugging, bootloader unlocked? all the normal just checking.

@kuailexs I took the liberty and added a translation. If it is not correct please change it. Thanks

@marius-ciclistu ok Thanks for the information

@sirosisofliver Nice!

@danqo6
Good news ^^

Maybe the road to the open source driver for M1 gpu not too long.

@totalsonic Would need downgrading to 9 at least I think same as gsi ones

Additionally, while I also like the port for the Nexus 6P, it was released in 2015 and is therefore more than five years old. I also can't speak for the reliability of SMS and phone calls as it's not my daily driver.

If you want a new device the Volla phone ($450) might be worth looking into?

@ubuntutouchfan There is this app if that helps https://open-store.io/app/datamonitor.matteobellei

@dremelts Indoor works only by luck. We do not have assisted GPS so it fully relies on the satellite visibility.

@lakotaubp Thanks.

The link was for GPS, not WIFI.

I did some digging, and turns out that without active mobile network card in the phone, AGPS will use a long time to get a fix.
This is because AGPS use cell tower fix to determine rough location, and then get help from internet to calculate a more accurate position. (Simple explanation, read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS)

I put my phone card in the Nexus 6P, and even inside it took under 1 min for the unit to have a fix and position.

So now I only have WIFI to sort out. 🙂
