    Been playing with #ubuntutouch as a daily driver on a #Fairphone4 and while it's quite neat and cellular actually seems reliable, everything else is a sore point.

        Been playing with #ubuntutouch as a daily driver on a #Fairphone4 and while it's quite neat and cellular actually seems reliable, everything else is a sore point. Poor performance in UBT with regards to scrolling in apps. Websites not rendering properly with the default browser. A number of apps simply dont work as they haven't been updated, or have been updated like say Futify but error out when trying to log in. Aside from that the apps that do still work can be quite bare bones...

          Waydroid also has issues where it doesn't have a functioning clipboard on UBT and as a result doesn't allow copying anything to the host either. I had to use a Crackle x package to fix copying between the ubuntu touch terminal and web browser...

            I had NFC dissapear and come back after a reboot... The camera stop working... And bluetooth not list what devices were currently connected and in active use. The one thing that works great is the wifi hotspot, as i am typing using an Android over hotspot (There's no active mastadon client that works anymore from what I saw).

              What I am thinking is that a port of Droidian to the FP4 could make a really great and more conventional phone, with VoLTE and 5G working well if Ubuntu touch's ofono patches are used.

                There's also no notch support without hacky scripts, and no night mode. The desktop mode is pretty cool though and works fairly well with some hiccups.
