        @Sander Thanks a lot your detailed walkthrough.

        I actually wanted to recommend to everyone using matrix (new users expected here 😉) to set it up in a second device. Why?

        Chats in matrix are mostly encrypted. Those chats are only visible on verified so called sessions. A session is any other matrix client logged in with the same username and homeserver.

        As described by you, one can use a key to verify. But I found that more difficult than with a second device by comparing a few emojis.

        A second device can be any matrix client that supports verification. This can be Cinny or Element on desktop or another phone. But it can also be a web client e.g. cinny web. Just use a different device in case your phone breaks or get lost.

        Regarding Cinny, I am struggling with the terrible last mile fixing some last downloads. I am almost there for releasing. But I guess it will take a few more days...

          Today, my desktop Signal told me to sign into my mobile Signal in order to keep the account active. Briefly running original Signal for Android in Waydroid was enough to make it happy again.
          This may be a monthly thing. Not horrible, but good to be aware of, as I don't think Cinny passes that message on.

            Hello, I installed Cinny UT (from Danfro) via the openstore, but notifications do not work. Maybe it's because the old Cinny was already installed? I do receive notifications from the old Cinny. Will removing the old Cinny allow the new one to show notifications? Or should I remove both versions and then install only the new one?

              @RedXXIII This must be some system bug, but after installing Cinny-UT, you need to restart your device once. This triggers Cinny being available in system settings under notifications. They should then work without you doing anything.

                Hi @RedXXIII

                I think I had something similar.
                I removed the old Cinny and I now have the notifications from Cinny UT by Danfro.

                So should be fine in my experience.

                    Anyone else here using the tchncs signal bridge and having problems recently? It stopped working for me.

                    From reading in their support chat I learned, that might be due to some "federation issues" with tchncs and matrix.org. Whatever that means.

                                @danfro already done that. Both Cinny apps are available under notifications. That's why I was thinking on some interference between the 2 apps.

                                  @AppLee OK thanks I'll try that and let you know.

                                    @RedXXIII you can only try uninstalling the old one. I don't have both installed. It might be to some of the patches we use, that they register to the same push helper. So it might be worth uninstalling one.

                                      @danfro Yes i did uninstall the old Cinny and that's it! New Cinny sends the notifications now 😃 Thank you very much. I'll try the bridges with signal and whatsapp and give you my feedback.

                                        Thank you guys for making Cinny work on UT, and for sharing these bridge tutorials! This has solved so much for me!

                                          @RedXXIII Thanks for reporting back. Good to see it confirmed, that both Cinny's can't "live" next to each other.

                                            I see that as a feature.
                                            Youo only have notification for one app, not double the amount (it would be annoying) 😉

                                              Screencasting and taking a screenshot of the desktop is a solution for scanning the QR code on the same device, if you don't have a spare phone.
