Installation Experience UT on VollaOs 15
-
I bought a used Quintus with VollaOS 15 on it. The multiboot function didn't work. So I installed Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 stable on it using the UBPorts installer. A very nice person on https://t.me/hello_volla explained to me that it wasn't necessary to downgrade. That seems important to me.
The installer even took care of unlocking the bootloader. The entire installation went smoothly. Great!
Almost everything works, even Dekko2, notifications, word completion, camera including video recording. I have 5G and I think even Volte (how can I check that exactly?).
Unlike what is stated here: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/algiz/, I can't get the headphones to work via the USB output, but that doesn't bother me. Fingerprint does not work too, but thats a known issue and doesn't bother me either.
One small bug: In the launcher, the Dekko2 icon doesn't stop counting; only restarting Lomiri resets the number.
Overall, I'm totally amazed!There's also a Telegram channel for UT: https://t.m/utonvolla. Unfortunately, I don't know the Matrix chat (anyone?).
So this is my new daily driver and I will report issues from time to time. Thanks to all the Volla and UT devs for their amazing work on this port. -

I just checked the upgrade channels in system settings and they just do not appear. I will try again after next reboot.

They had it in today's Q&A and I read it several times in the forum and in the chats that notification system is quite a mess in noble. There seems to be worked on though. Strange: it worked on my fresh install for about a day, then got more and more confused. First the counter of dekko in the launcher didn't stop counting, then teleports notification sounds disappeared, then cinnys. So it seems to be not only an issue of upgraded devices.
