"The VollaPhone will be a promoted device ..."

@makeixo and is for sale here https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/volla-phone-free-your-mind-protect-your-privacy#/ now !

As for having a really modern phone for the supposed end of the year, it would have been nice to have it support 5G.

Also, I wonder how functional the phone is already, as there are sales pictures showing it with UT installed.

I wish a fruitful technological partnership between Volla and Ubports.

Last news from UT (and SFOS) on VollaPhone:

I have heard several times that they think about to build an image which doesn't net the halium android layer. Is that even possible?

Does anyone know how good/bad the camera is?

stanwood · 7 Apr 2020, 18:13

@makeixo I think UT on Volla phone is using Halium 9.

Main Camera is 16 MPX which is not bad at all. (As good, or even better than an IPhone 8 for example)

MPX is not everything. I wouldnt bet on that fotos of the volla phone are better than the iPhone8. But when the camera works properly I would love to see a comparison.

I know that the volla phone needs Halium9 at the moment, I am refer to if it would be possible to build an image of UT some day which works without it and with mainline kernel like the pinephone does.

Overview for Ubuntu Touch port

domubpkm · 25 Jul 2020, 01:12

I didn't notice that first but :

Is it exact that there isn't notification led on the Volla phone ?

If yes, for those who love this mechanism on UT as me it's a real miss.

domubpkm · 30 Aug 2020, 16:48

Absence of Led, too bad, but note that the porting of UT is progressing fast on the VOLLA !!
The number of supporters is growing steadily.

To note also that MTP is fixed and ADB is about to be !!

@domubpkm Btw the milestone of 100 units sold was reached today!

@stanwood Yes currently 101 units PER Indiegogo but in total probably a close (reached?) number that would allow the promotion of Anbox development: an interesting point!

stanwood · 30 Aug 2020, 19:06

@domubpkm Indeed, I couldn't find the mention of which part was sold with UT vs Volla OS.

A Former User · 31 Aug 2020, 08:41

@domubpkm :
Hello, glad to see the progress.

Broken ADB has been fixed, available with activated developer mode after reboot.

Connection via USB is now possible to folders "Video", "Documents", "Downloads", "Pictures", "Music" and also the SD-card (in case the smartphone is up and running).

Can´t confirm that creation of videos is possible on VollaPhone with UT without problems.
With camera app not possible, picture is freezing. Only possible via mediaplayer to create silent films.

Secondly, and much more critical, the registration of the SIM gets lost during boot. So no calls can be placed or received or at least not in a reliable manner.

OS-Version: 2020-08-31

Regards,
T.
