im thinking about bolting on a python ide as well so its built in ...kinda a one stop shop manage/develop/deploy

lol i literally had to stop doing this to make a better file archiver app ...as i dont see 7z support anywhere ...all my roms are in 7z format ...lol "xfile archiver"! incoming! ....also i created a newer more modern compression format "xfile" ...has better recovery features plus but should handle all known formats im basically going for a zarchiver clone plus for UT

@developerbayman said: @pparent this is good to know basically 99% of all my stuff is on qt6 i would hate to have to refactor back to qt5 Anyway this is only a question of time before Qt6 gets integrated in the system and become the standard for app development. Now to publish a Qt6 app to the openstore you have to bundle the whole Qt6 library with you're app which might be a bit heavy, be soon this should not be a problem anymore.

@Kadafi said: reinstall UT (2 or 3 retries) The point is that it is not normal to retry an installation. If your hardware is good, it should work the first time or never.

@Kadafi you don't. This is a known way to brick your phone.

@Kadafi this is a known problem. There is a merge request on gitlab about that that is staying unattended since quite some time now.

@gpatel-fr it does not work. The symptoms are the same.

@Eric-H Yes.

@tacofeast Yes, welcome! It takes some considerable work to get Ubuntu Touch working on a given phone. There are no ports of Samsung phones at present, and porting is done by community members like yourself. So to see UT running on those phones, you'd need to do the work, or find others interested in sharing that work. There's documentation on porting on the UBports website. Alternately, there'd a list of already supported devices, and perhaps you could find one available used to test out the OS.

Hello, if you can't resolve initrd or other errors, I recommend porting with Xenial 16.04 instead of Focal 20.04. Xenial 16.04 generally uses 4.x kernels, and most Samsung devices in Ubuntu Touch ports are ported on Xenial 16.04 (except for the Samsung S7, which supports 20.04). This might also resolve initrd and other errors.

@arubislander yeah. When I go to recovery mode and reboot from there, the device start as expected and I get to Lomiri environment. Though this is not working 100% - for example I tried now and got into a reboot loop again I'm trying to find a pattern and while rebooting from the recovery mode (I'm in recovery and click on "reboot") works most of the time eventually, it's not all the time. Makes no sense to me.

This will not be possible as a confined app. You will need a background service that listen to incoming sms and forward it. I'm not sure if such app can be allowed in the openstore, but here is a few things to know. First create your background service, it could be in standard python if you are familiar with. Ofono is the service that emit notifications when new incoming sms, it uses dbus. api can be found here: https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/blob/master/doc/messagemanager-api.txt (old repository but sending and receiving sms still like that ) AI can help you with a minimal script. then when your service seems to work, you have to create all the plumbery to install/remove/run it, you can find an example with battery-saver app: https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf/battery-saver/

@formel said: I apologies- got it working! ... I have now Ubuntu 20.04 on it. Impressed, that I got it working, but it was not trivial. I think it would be fair to change the title of this topic.

@PhAndersson Can connect with bluetooth a Volla with Volla OS to a Volla 22 with UT noble. Try to send a little video from Volla to Volla 22 following the procedure. But doesn't work currently. File not sent / received.

@Martin230799 check NetworkManager is enabled make sure this file looks like this: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=true [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no if ifupdown managed is false, networkmanager is not managing the network interfaces. in my case it somehow works with it being false but that is most certianly some kind of bug, it should be true.

@undrwater the thing is Ubuntu Touch is a left, top OS. It would ideal is developers follow the Human Interface Guidelines and stop pushing bottom controls into apps. And again, there is no «global back» concept because we have the app spread to switch from app to app. And the launcher to launch apps. Of course there's an in-app back, end it is on the top left corner.

@pparent I've been experimenting for some time and, honestly saying I already don't remember which one, but there was some part of functionality which crashes with Wayland, and works well with XWayland.

On my home wifi I have no issues, so just playing around with the phone now. It's very smooth and responsive. Wonder how it will work with my SIM here in Japan.

@kugiigi i like the convergence this is good
