5 months ago im using sailfish os on Xperia x, but im kinda boring with its pretty interfaces, because from teenager im usually using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux on desktop. so im not usually using Linux based on fedora (like on sailfish os)
the only thing im miss if using ubuntu touch is maybe chatting apps like WhatsApp. because people in my country is still using this rather than using telegram.
but anbox is worth a shoot.

I'm using the RC channel.

did you know how to root anbox, sir? or it's same way to root anbox on desktop?
-
@xsetiadi FYI I just looked in the Open Store and there are 3 WhatsApp web apps available.
-
@Ken Absolutely! If you're not using a device that UT is supported on, a Nexus 5 or OnePlus One can be had pretty cheap. You can also look in the Open Store to see what apps are available that will replace what you're using now in Android.

@Photojoe4 WhatsApp web needs android WhatsApp version to run bro.
-
@xsetiadi Sorry, I didn't know (I don't use it myself). Is there a desktop/web based version of WhatsApp that doesn't require an Android login?
-
@Photojoe4 im hear a rumour WhatsApp will have a new feature that can log in separate like a telegram, so if WhatsApp on android not online, we can still use WhatsApp on desktop.
but I don't know exactly when this feature is available.

@normandc Thanks...I'd rather stay away from Google run devices just out of principle, I have a Galaxy S9 Edge, not sure what other systems it is supported by though
-
@Lakotaubp Thanks...I think my main question was going to lead to "Can I install UT on my current Samsung Galaxy S9 Edge to ditch Google altogether, and will it interfere with the function of my phone at all, such as my phone number...or am I stuck in the weird world of preloaded phones that can't be altered?

@Ken These are the current supported devices https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ with the PinePhone planned for March next year https://www.pine64.org/2019/09/05/september-update-the-pinephone-is-real-shipping-soon/

@Ken said in I'm Looking for a Replacement to my Android Smartphone OS:

That question has already been answered.
