      I believe it's worth mentioning @syper has made a first attempt to accommodate the community wish, an 'In Case of Emergency app/UT feature : the ICE - Personal Safety App.

      This might be a good solution for community members to have essential information available on the lock screen/top bar. If there's any interest in contributing to further development, please post in the dedicated thread

        linked to the GizmoChicken quetion:
        Q1: what is missing or need love in Lomiri for a passable UX on desk?
        Q2: now that UT landed on PinePhone what are the next priority steps? will you focus more on Lomiri (or UT) on the desk or are there other priorities?

          1 - Is there a scheduled periodicity for Pinephone updates on the Stable and RC channels?

          2 - Can you clarify what actions will be possible with the fingerprint scanner of the UT Volla Phone ?

            I've seen an increase in chat about the Lomiri desktop recently. Is there a corresponding increase in developers interested in making it great again?

              Will it be possible to boot from an SD card on an Android device just like on the PinePhone?

                I suspect that Lomiri will attract many more developers once itโ€™s more easily installable (even if not yet fully functional) on x86 machines running Debian or Ubuntu 20.04. Hope that will happen in the coming months. ๐Ÿ™‚

                  What is planned for contact synching? I don't think the question about carddav of last session had been answered.

                    I believe it is time to consider a change that removes Ubuntu from the name. Searching for information on Ubuntu Touch repeatedly brings up out of date references to the time when it was developed by Canonical. If Ubuntu Touch has aspirations to independence it should have its own name.

                      Any thoughts on Canonical's recently announced efforts to port Google's Flutter framework to Ubuntu Desktop and especially the use of Mir for Wayland based desktop systems? It would seem to me like this would open the door for Flutter as a first class app framework on Wayland based UT ports as well...

                        And another question:
                        With Lomiri being ported to Debian and the recent port to ManjaroARM (seem to run on the PinebookPro), is it even remotely realistic to decouple the application backend (click packages and media hub etc.) from core Ubuntu?

                        The background of the question is that potentially it might be possible to make what makes UT more independent of the Gnu/Linux base below, so that we might see a different backend instead(?) of the move to Ubuntu20.04?
                        IMHO if not only Lomiri but also the other stuff that makes UT would run on various distros, like for example snaps and flatpacks do, it would probably reduce the total maintenance burden (i.e. distribute it on more people) and allow faster development of the essentials of what makes UT a great mobile UI and app-ecosystem (as opposed to a full distro/OS).

                          Last week a major battery management breakthrough for the PinePhone as been announced on twitter, when will there be an image of Ubuntu Touch that includes that?

                            @poVoq This was discussed on the episode of two weeks ago.

                                        I wonder why this Q&A didn't say a word about the elephant in the room: the new availability of the pinephone which is now opened for order and its upgrade with 3GB of RAM and USB-C docking bar for convergence.

                                          @ubuntoutou - I guess because it gets shipped with Postmarket-OS preinstalled. Its not native Ubuntu Touch.

                                            @cliffcoggin - That was also happening in my case. I am searching for OTA-13, getting results from around 2016 and 2017. I guess this will diminish over time - in the next month.
