TextSecure on Nexus 5

bf · 3 Oct 2017, 19:08

Hi,
Has anyone tried to use TextSecure on a Nexus 5?
It works fine on my Nexus 4 running the last version of Ubuntu Touch from Canonical, but it crashes on my Nexus 5 with Ubports OTA-2 (as it did with version 1). It loads up ok, but as soon as i select a contact or try to compose a message it crashes. Would really like to get this app working again.

I have the same issue, it opens but when i try to read a message it crashes. (N5, R1 + R2, never worked)
Is there an easy way to start it from terminal to see any debugging info?

@htc_tattoo check ~/.cache/upstart/ and look for the most recent log files ls -ltr

@doniks @htc_tattoo

Same happens on my Nexus5. Here's ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log after starting Textsecure, then selecting an existing message and the crash.

I guess we have to wait and see if anyone replies to the call for someone to take over the development of this app. Shame!

@bf said in TextSecure on Nexus 5:

If no1 takes care of it untill the weekend, I will try and look in it.....but not making any promises.

bf · 13 Nov 2017, 20:53

@vadrian89 That would be appreciated and I understand it's not a promise. Just to get the last version, which worked fine on my nexus 4, running on the nexus 5, would be great.

It would be a bonus if we eventually get someone to take up the development. Let's hope, and thanks for any help in the meantime.

vadrian89 · 15 Nov 2017, 17:40

@bf I'm sorry, but I managed to look into the github repository today and noticed that the backend for TextSecure is written in Go and I haven't learned it.(and sadly, a the moment, I do not have time to learn it).

Again, sorry for getting any hopes up.

bf · 15 Nov 2017, 22:01

@vadrian89 Not to worry. Thanks for taking the time to look and reply...and for keeping the thread alive. Maybe someone out there who knows GO will be willing to have a look. Textsecure is a great messaging app and it would be an asset to have it available and working for the Ubuntu phone.
