        HNY back!

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

          @keneda Thank you! I recently found the porting guide, so I'll be reading through all of this stuff soon. I haven't done anything quite like this in a while, but I'm pretty confident that I can make it happen.

          I've done a few other weird computer and phone things before, so I'm pretty sure I can figure it out with some help from the community.

          Thanks again!

          P.S. Sorry about what happened to Tetsuo and Kaori. Tetsuo kinda had it coming, but Kaori didn't deserve to die like that.

              Thank you! Yeah, I'm easing into the docs now. It's gonna be a process, but I'm ready for it.

              I've got 3 different models of phones that I can work with. I might try to take notes on them all at the same time and see if I can figure them out one after another, but that's a stretch goal.

              Yeah, that was a fun movie to watch when I was a kid, for sure. That motorcycle was something else!

                Thank you! I look forward to learning my way around this forum.

                First things first...gotta find the dark theme.

                Anyone know where the dark theme is located? I've looked around but I can't find it.

                  There is no dark theme for the forum, or i didn't find it neither.

                      Okay, I'm going to start my notes in here, seems like a reasonable place.

                      I've read through most of the docs at least once and I took a lot of notes in general on what they say. Then I went searching for my information.

                      This website mobilewithdrivers seems to have everything for which the docs are asking. I think I'm getting pretty close to having the things I need to start dabbling.

                      Motorola Moto e6 - 16Gb
                      Samsung Galaxy A01 - 16Gb
                      Nokia 2 V Tella - 16Gb

                      I'll split these out to different topics and repos for documentation purposes as things progress, but right now I'm just collecting data. The plan is to keep everything inside this thread until I can actually get started working on something.

                      Anyway, now that I've taken some written notes, some e-notes, and found some guides, I think it's time to read through the porting docs process again and see if there is anything else I need to collect or figure out before I get started mashing buttons in Terminal.

                      Anyway, this was a big find for me today and my confidence in this project has gone from "Eh, I might be able to do it" to "Yeah, these three phones should be no problem."

You will also find links and info for all the stuff you will need. Please also check your device will run Focal 20.04 version of UT. There is little point in putting time and effort into new 16.04ports which is going into maintenance mode.

                            @b4t54ndw1ch You might want to convert certain sites to dark by using the Firefox extension "Dark Background and Light Text". Looks like this:

                            (I'm loitering here because I wait for a stable release to put on my otherwise unused sargo. Its because I want to test if I can possibly move even further away from the duopoly than by using LineqgeOS)

                              @talpa There is a stable 16.04 channel for Sargo already and the RC channel for 20.04 works well though not as many apps are ready for 20.04 yet.

                                Yes I know about 16.04, but it's 20.04 what I am waiting for. Just forgot to write this. I'll just wait on as there is no urgency. Thank you for the hint nevertheless.

                                  Okay, thank you for the notice. I figured I'd just put all of my stuff into this thread for now, since I started it and it';s easy for me to find, then move the notes over to the appropriate sections later, but it's all good.

                                  I'll have to read up on the Focal version of UT. I haven't heard of it. Can you provide a link?

                                    Thank you. I currently use Chrome for most everything, but I've been thinking of switching back to FF. It's been a while...like back before FF was written in Rust. Maybe Chrome has a similar extension. I'll have to check.

                                        I tried to respond to your question in the other thread but I don't have the privileges to reply to my post.

                                        Anyway, I cut the link because of this:

                                        Also, I even though the email was from Samsung, I have not personally checked the link yet.

                                        Anyway, I just made a pic and edited the link so there would be no worry of anyone clicking on it.

                                        I'm pretty sure you cracked the code though. The link you posted looks good. 🙂

                                          I'll take a look at it. Thank you for the pointer!

                                          Right now, I'm working with what hardware I already have on hand. Although the idea of working with one of these cheap, two-year old phones might not sound practical to some folks, well, I don't plan on buying a fancy phone any time soon but I'd still like to use Ubuntu Touch if I can.

                                          Also, I think people would use it if they knew about it, if I get it done right.

                                            Also i asked @Lakotaubp for your privilege problem.
