Hi @bamboy360 I see you made quite some posts here. I appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu Touch and your intention to help however you can. I just wanted to clarify that the forum is intended to discuss topics with the community. I'm explaining this because some posts can be interpreted as bug reports or feature requests. For bugs and requests it's best to create an issue on Gitlab or to the relevant project (Waydroid or a specific app). Cheers mate

Hi @saveurlinux They plan a first alpha release in 2026. So it's not for today. But if they want to support Ubuntu Touch, they are welcome to contact us for help integrating it. There are many trials to create an alternative to Chrome and all are welcome to make a version for Ubuntu Touch. UBports sadly does not have the resources to work on something else. We have efforts made to bring Webkit to Ubuntu Touch as well as work done with Firefox and the upgrade of Morph to Qt6. 3 projects and probably only 3 persons doing work. And they also contribute to porting, apps and the OS.

@bamboy360 said in Aplications from Google Store.: UT's "guided" way of installing waydroid can let you access some GooglePlay apps via AuroraStore apk (a redistributor) without google services. In my experience however, this leads to some android apps needing those services, crashing and causing other problems with Waydroid. It's fiddly. If WayDroid is used without GAPP module, it's recommended to install the MicroG services (a fake Google services library). This will allow "most" apps that need Google services to run properly in WayDroid. The installation is simple and is described here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/115

Yeah, that seems to be a known issue with some system messages not being fully localized, even when the main language is changed. It looks like that “No text message sent today” line might be hardcoded in English or just missing translations in certain languages.

Do you think that there are any viruses that will run on Ubuntu Touch?

Old post, I know, but if @thedeafenguy or anybody else has bought from that seller, a report might be useful to many of us outside the EU. I've come across that seller before and wondered.

@PiotrBujakowski I think you mean Volla Tablet? I'm moving your post to the Volla section.

To be fair, this is a very valid use case. I've wanted this right from the start since if you use external keyboard and mouse, you won't need the virtual one so the screen will be useless. In Samsung DeX, you can do this although I noticed that some apps wakes it up when doing certain things. In any case, there's no way to do this right now. It might need changes to the lower level components such as Mir. Also note that unlike Samsung DeX, UT is using the same UI or DE when connected to an external display so anything you do on the device would affect both displays.

@kuuga What OS are you using for your host PC in the installation? If ADB cannot see the device, especially when the phone is in "fastboot" mode, with a windows host, this is probably because of missing google android drivers. On a Linux host, the command line tools from google should just work as-is after extraction. (In my bumbling around I used both.) Windows google-android driver: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb This guide below was extremely helpful for me, specifically the sections "Prerequisites" and "Unlocking Bootloader" since google's developer pages have so many dead 404 links. The other sections can be ignored if using UBPorts installer. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-pixel-3a-sargo-unlock-bootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4443459/ Don't forget to downgrade your Pixel3a to Android 9 before running UBPorts installer.

Hi. I will be berry happy. I see rare smart watches with large screen.

@MV said in SMS Group: I was looking for this topic and i find this 'old' thread. Is it possible to create group for SMS? If I try to create a group, it seems that the APP consider it as an MMS group that I'm not interested in because in this case the data-connection should be activated (and anyway it doesn't work). Is there anyone that a feedback or the situation is the same as posted the 9 June 2020? Thank you in advance afaik group chat doesn't exist in the SMS protocol. Or i missed something. You can broadcast sms to several users, but the answer will be on the sender contact thread.

@jojumaxx Same issue with Vollaphone22 with dual boot (VollaOS and Ubuntu Touch on the SD-Card). I've never head before this problem with previous version (till 2024). I tried to unmount and mount again UT but the problem still remain. Black screen

@journeyman09 Pegasus seems to target Android and iOS. So not a threat for Ubuntu Touch. But even if it were, you would have needed to install it yourself, or have run / installed a click package from outside the Open Store.
