@ikoz Encrypting apps would prevent tampering with executables and replacing them with malicious ones by evil actors.

All done. Thank you.

Well its been while but the NORD n10 works VOLTE 5g now in the us so if anyone wants to use it now works even the metropcs version!

@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.

@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 ?

@donieck Another option would be to contact your operator to check how to connect your phone to their mobile network (or search for this setting among other users of this provider). Usualy [image: 1763620066542-79488c9a-6d61-41fd-a544-682a73e6d4c9-image.png] in System settings / cellular / Provider and acces point name / Access point name / internet (sorry for the labels retranslated from french) You'll have to restart to phone after any change.

@jeffreyk Hi, it doesn't work like that. If your device is not on the supported list and a search doesn't show any one porting the device then if you have the skills and knowledge you will have to port UT to that device yourself. The alternative is to get a device that is on the supported list.

@spacenerdmo Thanks a lot! I'm gonna test it and let you know how it's going

@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.

My nominations. Community favourite app: Sapot Sapot has become my go-to browser for everything. It does not feel like a compromise and the gesture controls are both creative and intuitive. Keeweb It works. That is already fantastic. It works very well and has given me no problems at all for the months that I have used it. Password managers are an essential tool for UT and this app made my life a tonne easier. Community favourite developer Kugi Eusebio I use several of Kugi's apps. They have a coherent feel to them which is really nice to see and they have made my UT experience functional. TBA

New version is out Changes: Fixed a few bugs Added models installer (works for many languages listed in the menu, other models will be uploaded later) The application UI can be translated. Now it comes with amd64 build

@johndoe said in Upgrading Pinephone from 20.04 to 24.04: @newguy I think it is very likely, that you break the system that way, because Ubuntu Touch is not meant to be updated with apt. The PinePhone port is, you can't update it using the normal System Settings approach.

@mango Thunderbird and firefox will probably eat your ram.

@edisss No one knows! There is no list, it depends on whether someone owns the device and the skills, and steps forward to do the work.

When I change scaling in ubuntu tweak tool, I have to restart lomiri. When I do it again, the phone freezes on the "restart lomiri" popup and I have to do a hard reset.

@ufoddos said in Recommendations for Ubuntu Touch: unified communication Sorry, what does that mean? I'm not familiar with that term.

Ok, this seems to be a new feature of the 24.04-1.0 release. This seems to be desired by others, but hinders function of my equalizer app. An option to disable/enable this behavior in the system settings would be nice. Interestingly this does not happen, when moving the sink inputs with e.g.: pactl list short sink-inputs | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} pacmd move-sink-input {} equalizer and back with pactl list short sink-inputs | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} pacmd move-sink-input {} sink.primary_output. But to implement this function into my app and consider all the different eventualities will be very complicated, i think. Changing the default sink is much easier.

@ubuntoutou Brute force... Excellent username!
