Hi,
my name is Daniel and I'm a software developer from germany. At first - sorry for the long delay! I never introduced myself here although I'm a Ubuntu Touch user since march 2022. So I want to do this now.
At home, I'm using Linux Mint since july 2021, after windows update meant that my Notebook (an MSI with I7 processor) is not compatible to windows 11 So I switched to Linux. Since then, I have realized how important privacy and security are. I also enjoy the freedom to configure and use my system the way I think is best.
In 2022, I came from android and I needed a new smartphone. But I did not want to use android again, I wanted to use a linux-based system instead with an open eco system to develop apps and with convergence. So I tried Ubuntu Touch on my Google Pixel 3a and I never regret it! This is my daily driver and I am very happy to use a system that feels very comfortable, has a simple user interface and is not dependent from Google or Apple. It feels good that uNav does not track where you are
I also developed Touch IDE, a touch-friendly development environment. I know, the last update was 2023, but I'm going to continue this project. I have some ideas, I only need more time But it will go on.
So, thanks for all the hard work. I can't support at core development, but I am a very happy Ubuntu Touch user that can develop several apps and maybe give some ideas and help on several questions.

@lduboeuf Thanks for the hint, I will test that.
-- I think, this is not a replacement for Touch IDE. But it looks promising!

Hello everyone, my name is kuailexs and I come from Sichuan, China.

I'm very interested in ubuntu touch, and I've been looking at ubuntu touch since 2017.

In 2017, I tried to port ubuntu touch to the Mi 4 and was very happy when Ubuntu touch launched successfully on the Mi 4.

Last year I tried switching the Meizu pro5 port to use halium7. It was not finished due to too little spare time.

Recently I was trying to upgrade Mi 6 port to Ubuntu touch 20.04. And I have been following up the Chinese translation work of docs.ubports.com recently.

Sorry, a link to what? It's in the installer. Here's the device page: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/frieza/release/xenial/

Salah · 17 Nov 2024, 15:06

Hello UT users.

I would like introduce myself.

My name is Salah, Syrian nationality living in UAE.

I am using Linux OS (Ubuntu mate) from 2016 till today and proud to have this bless.

I own Iphone x device for daily use, along side with NOKIA N900 form 2010 till day and still using it when traveling for call and text.

NOKIA N900 was the main reason to being introduced to Linux World. With best OS ever made by NOKIA.

Hope UT will have some ideas from it.

Recently (2 Months) I've purchased Google Pixel 3a XL to indulge myself with UT experience, which is great.

I hope in 24.04 version will have more control on the device and more access to system files for modifications and bunch of stuffs .

Re: Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!

Former DBA and consulting IT project manager getting involved with Ubuntu Touch. Current platform is a Google Pixel 3a XL with U.S. AT&T prepaid service. I can only send/receive texts and browse right now...until I figure out how to perform the VoLTE updat.

Looking forward to helping. Not a great developer when it comes to software, but would like to try my hand at/learn about controlling hardware at the device level and can see myself helping with managing ports.

@JDee-Intl Welcome, we're happy to have you with us!

AppLee · 6 Dec 2024, 23:22

Hi again @JDee-Intl

This gives context to my previous answer.
In order for you to attempt helping out the porter of your device, you'll need to set a development environment and be able to build an image from sources.
For this I highly recommend to check the porting documentation out:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction/index.html

This way you'll better understand how it works and what is involved in this issue.

@AppLee Thank you! I've been reviewing the UBports site/documentation already, but have a lot to learn.

Il Dorato · 30 Dec 2024, 03:07

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to join this community, my name is Ermete, but I go by Il Dorato on here, you can call me either one. I came across Ubuntu touch because I was tired of using Android only. I wanted to free myself from any relations to corporations such as Google and liberate my phone hardware. Thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful project and I am excited to hopefully get a chance to meet and talk to some of you.
