This is definitely something that UT needs - polish. This is awesome and hopefully this becomes a successful initiative On top of my head, these are the things that I think matters for most people. Display cutout and rounded corners handling. Most phones now have them and it just makes UT look unfinished and unpolished and of course annoying for the users AGPS. Without it, navigation is really hard to rely on. It may work quick especially if you use it often but it's still highly unreliable. Cloud syncing for contacts, notes, etc. Ideally, an easy to use backup/restore solution as well. Video playback. I think one of the weakest part of UT since the beginning is video playback. It never worked well. It has minor issues like video flipping at the end of playback then some major issues like actually crashing the app, for example on Teleports. There are also devices where it totally stop working until you restart media hub or rebooting the device. The experience is just bad in general in my opinion Small back button in apps and hard to reach in one hand use. Especially if you come from Android, I think you can really be annoyed by this and more especially if you are someone who frequently use your phone with one hand. This has been discussed dozens of times but it's a tricky thing to solve. I think adding a universal back action like Android is out of the question but what else can we do? I have some solutions on my apps and in Ambot Installer calles MariKit. It adds horizontal swipe at the bottom edge which can used to trigger back action or other header actions. It's very useful in my opinion but I'm still unsure if this is the best solution and approach.

@Shapa said in Crazy stuff: sudo snap install signal-desktop: Does it mean we can convert other snaps app to ubuntu touch ? Well you could. But not directly as you may have seen I'm now recompiling Signal-Desktop from source code, and apply some patches for different things like having a responsive interface and a functional keyboard. The whole process requires quite a bit of manual work to get close to a fully integrated and working application. @Shapa said in Crazy stuff: sudo snap install signal-desktop: I am thinking firefox browser could be good use case Isn't uWolf good enough for that? uWolf is basically a custom firefox.

@jam1388 said in VOLTE status: it has to be 25.04.2x daily for anyone wanting to make calls anyways on the nord n10 Just to clarify for other readers, theabove is true if 3G has already been shut down where you live. N10 works fine on 3G (and 2G). Thanks for your report @jam1388. Very good news!

I discovered that the Ubuntu 24.01 update unfortunately does not install correctly due to storage problems (on some partitions of the OP 6T) and therefore important data is missing, which is why it does not start.

A little update after 15 days : the smartphone doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Maybe I will try to reinstall Ubuntu, but if android has crashed too, I don't know how to reinstall it. Maybe the best would be to ask someone to do it for me, but I don't know if this type of service exists.

@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

@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.

@stanwood i finally reinstall ubuntu without checking Wipe option. I saved all my home directory on a micro sd card by security and it was a good idea because all my data were erased. I think that the reason why i couldn't do the update was the lock of the bootloader, even the ubport installer was quite difficult to use because of this lock. I was only able to do the replacement after doing the update on the phone and being on the recovery menu, at that time, ubports installer asks be to remove the bootloader lock ..... So now i'm on the 24.04 kernel ... (it was the default choice for my volla phone in ubports installer).

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

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

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

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

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

@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.

@Lakotaubp Still no f(x)tec device section

@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 ?

@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/

@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.
