@Fuseteam I have tried to use crackle and have a few observations about it, do you prefer that I do it here (where it's a bit off-topic) or is there a better place where I should create a new topic ?

For developers: Ratchanan, because so much code for the OS wouldn't exist without him Lionel for his work on calendar app, dialer and messages For apps: Teleports, what would we do without it? OpenStore, again we would be nothing witout it

@domubpkm I guess, the osk option does keep formatting. tedit option inserts text only.

@peat_psuwit used ubports-installer to install 24.04-1.1 RC2 with "Wipe Userdata" checked and during the last 24h, calls worked correctly. Thanks.

@DJac said in bugs on UT agenda: for exemple : i create a event (all day) from 10 decembre to 15 decembre. Result : OK i deplace the event to 20 decembre. it seems te be from 20 to 25 december. but after validation, it jump from 19 to 24 december. and when i want to change it, the probleme persist. Ok, go ir, i have a pending fix for that, but it needs more work since it has side effects...

@nielsbasjes said in Enabling MAC randomization: none (not even the current one) Now, even when I don't see the other access points, which is quite often when I swipe out the settings and come back in it, I always see my own access point with "Connected" in green. Like I said, I only see the other access points when first enabling Wifi (and it don't crash the phone, but that's another story). I'm curious how it appears, could you share a screenshot please ?

@vverve Sounds good all is well here on usa T-Mobile 5G is a go on the it has to be 25.04.2x daily for anyone wanting to make calls anyways on the nord n10 I also wanted to point out of anyone has the metro version n10 the installer says not compatible because its number doesn't much exactly 10.5.7 but it installed flawlessly with manual selection n10 but it works just fine as the tmobile variant so its compatible for me anyways seems like with the progress with the 5g fix that will help the community grow that's for sure this was such a huge milestone for the ubports i can now be able to not have to replace this phone for years even lenageos stopped maintaining the device which is crazy because it has 128 storage 8 core CPU 6gigs of ram but yet ite old enough for end of life no updates must be an android thing anyways this is like a brand new phone now the installation was like outing a new battery in as well it loves ubuntu touch that's for sure anyways have a good one!

@uxes IIRC with fscrypt in place, just replacing shadow breaks the protectors of fscrypt, leaving the system with a broken state. Also that's the dog biting it's tail: decrypting based on the password while the file containing the password is locked, that doesn't work. Regarding bluez data: that would break bluetooth at the greeter, which might be required for some usecases.

@mango Thunderbird and firefox will probably eat your ram.

@TotalSonic it seems there is at least a bug to fix before implementation of a setting: https://salsa.debian.org/ubports-team/lomiri/-/issues/54 With help of bounties it could occur sooner than later: https://os-sci.com/lomiri#Contribute

@donieck That's a possibility, which is why I suggested reinstalling the latest OTA for 20.04 to confirm or disprove this hypothesis.

@newguy said in Upgrading Pinephone from 20.04 to 24.04: I suspect doing a manual upgrade will work You suspect right. From https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/pinephone/ : https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/pinephone-and-pinephone-pro-3889 updates are currently done through sudo apt update/upgrade Pinephone builds also from pinephone device page : https://ci.ubports.com/job/ubuntu-touch-rootfs/job/ubports%252Ffocal/

@pparent I can imagine, that Alexander is quite experienced, and together you will find good solutions. If sombody else have ideas, I think is always good to hear and discuss them. I will ask Alexander if I can give you his emailadress.

@bekun Yeah that's the ideal functionality. On Android, that works fine, at least on Samsung phones. In UT, all touchscreens are mapped to the built-in display. I was talking about on the desktops. Gnome have the same issue while KDE Plasma handles it fine.

@Moem said in Cannot update to 24.04?: @Talkless There is a way to mark your topic as solved. There are two steps: Thanks!

@arubislander That happened to me with the Nord N100 also from Metro PCS. luklly i found a modified BE81AA that was already patched and ready to go. if you're serious you can look in different platforms maybe youll get lucky too and find a way around these restrictions. belive me there's always a way. You just have to do a little research. Oh and before you start any porting or flashing make sure to always keep a backup of your original firmware, to antisipate incase something goes wrong. You'll be able to reverse it without a problem.

@ufoddos said in Recommendations for Ubuntu Touch: I hope Ubuntu Touch can become the most viable alternative to Android for mobile devices. I do as well, as I think most of everyone who posts on this forum does too. It should be secure, That "should" is most certainly something the UBports core team and Ubuntu Touch community wants as well. In terms of online security, this is something that has been improved recently via the update to a 24.04 LTS Ubuntu base, which enables for upstream security updates to be easily shipped in the system OS. There is also ongoing work towards enabling encrypting user and other data for the OS, with initial basic support for this already implemented in the latest version. However one big downside for UT in terms of physical security is that the bootloader needs to remain unlocked for the OS to load. This is something that likely needs to cooperation of a device maker to fix for specific devices. respect privacy, and reject government censorship and surveillance. The UBports Foundation and the Ubuntu Touch itself already does all of these things. There is absolutely no data mining from either, and the uAdBlockNG app available from the Open Store allows one to avoid a significant amount of invasive trackers and ads. In terms of system architecture, it should incorporate UI features from WebOS. I will have to strongly disagree with you on this point, rather most of us using it, and certainly those developing it, think it should NOT be sublimating its own design aesthetics to one from another existing project. Ubuntu Touch was created in the first place to be exactly entwined with its own unique desktop environment (initially called Unity 8, now rebranded as "Lomiri"), as well as with a curated unified design ethic and theming, and what UT really needs is just more developers willing to contribute some PR's to shape this to improve and expand its capabilities, rather than simply replicate designs made in other projects. In terms of applications, I hope it supports web applications. It already does, and since it was started. Lots of apps available in the Open Store are in fact wrappers and containers for various webapps. And the "Webber" app allows one to easily create ones own webapp via making a launcher and container for a url. There are currently some compatibility issues with this due to the age of the Chromium supported by the current QtWebEngine 5.x used for the system wide Morph browser, but the core team is very busy now focusing on updating the webengine used by UT's Morph browser to QtWebEngine 6.x, and there is in fact a preview app in the Open Store alpha stage one can use, that can in fact access a good majority of services that are made available for general webapp use. Of course there is the challenge that there are a good number of online services that are only made available to Android and iOS apps currently (such as a number of banking apps), and sadly being able to create compatibility for many of these is beyond any control of UT's developers. But otherwise - yes, UT supports webapps. It should support unified communication. Dunno what you mean by "unified communication", but there is currently native app and/or webapp support in UT for: phone calls (via 2G, 3G, and now VoLTE for a growing number of devices) SMS & MMS (core Messenger app), email (both imap & pop3), Matrix, Telegram, Jitsi, Whatsapp, Signal, XMPP, IRC, and a few other protocols. Plus other services such as Session and Wire can be accessed via Android apps installed in Waydroid containers. While this might be the opposite from "unified" and certainly not totally complete, UT is certainly capable of being quite capable as far as messaging goes. I dislike Android because it's closed, increasingly sluggish, has a bloated design, a virtual machine mechanism, consumes a lot of power, has excessively high device requirements, pushes system junk, and isn't a true Linux distribution. Yes, I dislike Android for this as well, although there are some "degoogled" AOSP ROM's these days which do a good job of fixing some of those issues. However the future continuing development of those ROM's is increasingly threatened by Google's own recent moves towards even further centralizing control over the Android eco-system, which makes projects like Ubuntu Touch even more important going forward. Best regards, Steve Berson

Have you checked here or asked as the audience will be a lot larger?

After some more testing it seems that VoLTE is not working properly on my FP4. It shows up in the settings and status indicator but as soon as I make a call it drops back to 3G. Is VoLTE officially part of this ota? Is there an up to date guide on how to backup and restore the FP4 on 20.04, I have not been able to find the usual 2 partitions when using adb in recovery mode? I'm willing to try and go back to android, enable/test VoLTE, and restore UT, but backups are a must as it's my daily driver.

@debcedric qu'est exactement le 'logo de charge' ? est ce que c'est l'image d'une batterie en train de se charger ? Si oui, ça n'est pas géré au niveau d'Ubuntu Touch pour autant que je le sache, ça dépend du firmware du téléphone. Donc la première chose à faire est d'appuyer longtemps sur le bouton marche/arrêt (au moins 10 secondes si ce n'est plus) pour essayer de le débloquer. Si la batterie est amovible l'enlever pendant une minute. What exactly is the 'charge logo' ? is it the image of battery in the process of loading ? If yes, that's not managed by Ubuntu Touch as far as I know, it depends on the phone firmware. First thing to do is long press on the On/Off button (at least 10 s if not more) to try to get the phone out of this stuck state. If battery is removable, try to remove it and put it back after a minute or so.
