It's recommended to install the correct Android version before flashing UT. This is to avoid unexpected issues. In my experience on both FP4 and FP5, fingerprint reader may not work initially so you'll have to reinstall Android and reflash UT.

@RJDan You mean in Lomiri Plus? It's under Convergence > External Display. The settings can be accessed via the Power/System Indicator Panel.

Even better news: The wipe won't be needed. Existing v1 policies continue working and should even be compatible with Waydroid once they're stored in the filesystem keyring. Even if they're not, that's not a blocker for v2 to land early, as existing users can enjoy their devices with the same feature set as before. I'll go ahead and merge this.

FP5 arrived. I didn't flash Ubuntu on it yet, but just first touch of the hardware somewhat confirms the above statement about gestures. In android it's kind of gesture-unresponsive when woken up, for some time, then it seems to kick in full power and becomes blazing fast. Weird, but it really seems like some kind of power management

@FixOne Very cool.

@RJDan Not while using encryption, because all the info needed for the functions you care about are inaccessible until after your home folder is decrypted.

@volatius I have a spare FP3+ that I updated to 24.04. It's been a bit unreliable, though I haven't put in a sim card, so I can't comment how that part works.

@asiasiasi The UBports PDK is what you are looking for, presumably the "emulator that didn't work". There was a recent post where someone needed to make chages for it to start. It is essentially a QEMU VM with adaptations for graphics but not used often so it can break. As you already found out, Lomiri can be ran on normal Ubuntu as well in case you want to familiarize with the environment. Individual apps can be ran (and built) using clickable desktop to test if it what you want, since apps are a big part of the ecosystem.

I have a FP4 and currently everything seems to work: data roaming abroad works calls / sms work wifi/hotspot/vpn works usb-c headset works (Sennheiser Momentum 4) with better volume control than on bluetooth (playback stopped when unplugging as well)

@gpatel-fr said in Newbee trying hard, got a no space issue: while your phone is a 'reference device', it don't have a lot of recent issues and that could mean that it's not widely used anymore. With 3 circles in community strength, it means Pixel 3A is currently one of the most used devices (with Fairphone 4).

I yesterday installed on my volla phone 22 Ubport 24.04-1.1 RC1 via RC channel. I had problems with incoming and outgoing voice calls without any voice being heard in both directions. Thus I reinstalled 24.04-1.x stable via stable channel. However instead of running the again the 24.04.1 software from stable, the phone is now in a reset loop. It shows the volla screen, then a black screen via backlight on, then a black screen with backling off and then again the volla screen. And so on. When going into boot loader, I was able to start the recovery mode, however it did not change, it is still in boot loop. Ubports installer is not finding the phone too. What can I do? I plan tomorrow to go to the phone service shop in berlin, which provides volla service and try to reflash the phone.

@O.o. said in Installing Ubuntu Touch from a non-Android OS (specifically Sailfish): Mainly I can't live without Signal Have you seen that Signal-Desktop port is on the way? As of today, it still has some limitations, but it will definitely move progressively towards being a fully functional client in the coming months. https://open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent Notifications, Audio messages, and Upload/Download of pictures, will most probably make their way at some point, some of them in a not so distant future.

@Alain This featute isn't in UT/Lomiri yet. Simplest way is to make something like a home screen app and there are some that exists already like Launcher Modular. Not sure they have app groups though. You can contribute to them if you don't want to make your own. However, they obviously act like a normal app. Best you can do is pin it to the Launcher for easy access. Or you can contribute to Lomiri and implement it in the App drawer which definitely needs some love There's even a bounty for it so there's money to get

@MrT10001 said in Do you think you know Ubuntu Touch ?: Loved Scopes Ouh. I tend to forget them. When I kind of understood the use of some, they were ditched. I mean, I thought they would have more interested for me as «rss readers», like a sink of types of messages...

New version is out Introducing protocol v2 - now client apps do not need to use the microphone, audio recording is performed on a server. There are some flaws for this decision, though. CPU load has been reduced in this release This release is also backwards compatible with protocol v1, where client sends recorded data to server, just in case someone wants to send audio data from other sources. Also, my apologies, I forgot to link Client library for v2 protocol Client library for v1 protocol (requires Microphone permission)

@wgarcia To some extent, "Praise Ubuntu Touch, it's finally suppertime!"

@Alain said in Where is the Desktop?: How hard can it be? Famous last words.

Doesn't Seabass 2 can open .conf files ?

@gpatel-fr Ubuntu Touch only has GPS from satellites so far, no AGPS from home wifi and so. So you will not get fixes if in a "bunker" and android will get faster fixes in closed place also.

Got it, thank you. For File Manager, it's a little symbol, 2 horizontal lines, the top one has a circle on the left, the other one has a circle on the right.
