      @Mario-CH ok I understand you, here there are people from many countries and we can not speak in all languages, I speak Spanish and although I know English (medium) I use the translator a lot, sometimes you want to put words that the translator can change,

        @UBportsNews I was wondering what the path/procedure is for ports to end up on the UBports installer ie the PinePhone/PineTab2 focal port? Cheers

          @Keneda For the F4, I can't believe it now that the F5 is out. A big announcement with the F5 and UT (secret work) would have been extraordinary but that falls under Santa Claus πŸ™‚

            I would like to hear a little about some roadmap (ETA of migration to ubuntu 22.04 LTS). What is ETA of OTA-3. If will be translations finally updated in OTA-3. I would like to hear more how clickable works (I am missing some details, which I haven't found in documentation).

                Ubports installer is only for android devices, using "ADB" link.

                Installing on a Pine device and alike ("mainline devices") is not the same way.

                        A couple of Q&As ago, Florian talked about a possible collaboration with SHIFT. Any news on that? (I know I'm not allowed to ask about specific devices but that shouldn't stop you from talking about the SHIFT6mq in particular, if you feel like it. πŸ™‚ )

                            @jmlich your questions seem more appropriate to several dedicated forum posts than for a general Q&A livestream.

                              I splitted his message in a new thread in the appropriate subforum.

                                Hi, thank you for all the contributions !
                                My questions:

                                1. Will gallery app have some photo edit features more than crop like photo filters as a built-in feature? Or you think using third app such as InstantPho is enough for now? I guess there are others features that gallery or photo apps could have built-in ? (qrcode, filters, but also: add texts / emoji / stickers to a photo, etc). I love the way contenthub allow to add many features almost like it was native, but for basics features that some people use daily, it would help the UX to have some of those features just built-in. I'm quite splitted about this question, where is the border? what are your thoughts ?
                                2. Already asked this question years ago, just wanted to know about it but nowdays: Are apps package format will keep being click for now, or is there actually a roadmap to snap (Note, i've seen this initiative: https://open-store.io/app/snapz0r.fredldotme )
                                3. Talking about snap, is there a discussion about going from Ubuntu LTS to LTS, to Ubuntu Core ? Might require a lot a base work, and pipelines, but would reduce effort on system upgrades i guess, or not ? any thought to share with us? Would it be easier to maintain specific hardware package with "gadget" or kernel snaps, or same but different ?
                                4. Is there a roadmap for new app permissions ? For example: I guess this one would make sens for app that require fullscreen and many in-app controls (such as games) : app could call to switch themselves to an "immersive desktop" mode where right & left swipe are disabled during the use of the app? It could be also user enable/disable-able from an indicator i guess (We can see this initiative: https://open-store.io/app/indicator-immersive.kugiigi ), and also the apps permission to switch itself the mode could be removed from a setting permissions list (just like notifications for eg). This is an exemple, but maybe you have others in minds ? tell us please !
                                5. You said no porting question, so I won't ask when fairphone5 will be listed in the Ubports Installer πŸ˜›

                                Once again, thank you to all the contributors, the ones from the beginning to the newest ones, from porting to new devices, to contributing to coreapp, lomiri (etc), or third apps, translating, qa, moderation and all the others ❀

                                  @Hugehead said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 123 call for questions:

                                  i am asking because with the loong time nothing heared in Q&A and (i feel) slow process in 20.04 (my oneplus 6 is nearly unusable) i felt like UT is kind of dead?

                                  It is not, but I know it feels like it is. Everyone has other things to do in life, and of course what life's curve balls that come your way (I have had a massive one last year).

                                  A lot goes on on Telegram, which I am no fan of (Telegram that is - social media avoidance). A lot of the conversation goes above my head as I am not a developer or programmer. It is better though for quick responses.

                                  My question is:

                                  With Google implementing anti-rollback features in its Android future, how badly will this affect open source development, especially Ubuntu Touch in the future?

                                  Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
                                  I have too many devices...

                                      @domubpkm They are preventing rollback from lets say Android 13 to Android 10. This may sometimes brick the device attempting to roll back. This may stop open source development where an older Android is required to install UT or another custom ROM.

                                      Read about it here.

                                          @MrT10001 Ok thank you. Personally, I assume that any problem can be circumvented, it is only a question of computer skills that is why computer flaws and remedies are discovered and vice versa. We read this all the time. And at UBports there are super qualified developers (not enough, yes). πŸ˜‰
