Hii everyone, thanks for answering my previous questions, I keep getting new ones :
- When encryption will be ready, will it be possible to encrypt the system without doing a reinstallation of UT and Waydroid ?
- Are you thinking or planning to implement the screen rotation to 180 degrees ?
- In order to understand better how things work, I'd like to know if the system updates (OTA) that we receive are different for each devices ? I guess that they also include the work done by the porters in between system update ? Because on the devices's page we can see the last commit for each device and I was wondering how those changes make their way to each particular device.
- I was wondering, althought the Pinephones are the only one where we can natively install UT, they seem badly supported, a ton of features are still missing when I look at the device page, why do you think it's like this ?

@UBportsNews - Is there a plan as to what to do with the core Notes app for Noble?
From my understanding, it seems that the api that it uses to sync with Evernote is being deprecated by them, and given that Evernote is a commercial service that only offers syncing between two devices for its free basic plan, and also given that this is based on a legacy connection established and coded by Canonical, I was wondering how this effects Notes app in UT in the future.
Given that NextCloud provides a well known and well supported FOSS solution for file syncing, that already has account support in the System Settings, as well as other UT native apps (e.g. GhostCloud, UBsync) that use it, perhaps the way forward is to change to NextCloud syncing for the Notes app. There is also the JotIt app in the OpenStore, which syncs notes with NextCloud, that perhaps could be forked as a replacement for the Notes app.
Or, is the plan to just remove the Notes app from the list of core provided apps, given it seem there is no maintainer for it currently?
Thank you for all your continued work on UT!
Best regards,

@UBportsNews - with more support for snaps coming in Noble, are there plans to also fix the bugs in Libertine, or does it make sense given the clunky legacy implementation of its code, that hasn't had anyone step up to maintain it, to just deprecate Libertine in Noble instead?
Best regards,

What is the general state of emergency alert messages in UT? It seemes available in the UI, but can users expect it to work in an actual emergency?
Could this be added to the device pages as one of the items in the check list, if it is expected to work?

Hi all,
Now that VoLTE work is well underway, are there any plans to work on VoWiFi? I assume the IMS service base is similar?
Thank you so much, and congrats for all your work!Stanwood

Hello @captainfunk , maybe I misunderstand your question about the rotation, but you can already rotate the screen vertically and horizontally. To lock or unlock the automatic rotation:
a) Open the settings app and you will see the option to turn it on or off
or
b) Swipe down from the top of your screen and go to the second last option on the left
