Signal App for UT

Tobi79

Hello,

I am searching for a signal App for UT (Google Pixel 3a). I tried Axolotl but it doesnt work.
Signal has a Linux version in their website. Is there Amy possibility to launch Signal on my UT?

Greetings Tobi

@Tobi79 Like I just told you on Telegram: If your phone can run Waydroid, you can use that with the Signal official app.

@Tobi79 You can also use Matrix with a Signal Bridge as a workaround.

I too am looking to install signal, but I find waydroid such a hassle.

Since signal offers the app for linux, then there must be a way to install it directly without using Waydroid.

How do I make this happen?

They offer a desktop app for Linux, not a mobile app. And I don't see how it follows that an app for desktop Linux will definitely run on a mobile OS.
But feel free to try to install it in Libertine.

Alternatively, wait a bit and see if we get a new release of Axolotl for Christmas. I'm already using the pre-release and it mostly works.

Do you know a good article how to accomplish this option?

@TheBird Not really. There are a couple guides online about setting up the bridge if you host your own Matrix server, but if you just want to use it you can join a server that already has the bridge set up and ready to go.

I wrote an example in this topic a while ago: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8983/signal-axolotl-status-in-2023?_=1700762725683
I then use Fluffychat built for Focal as my Matrix client, as it has been the most reliable for notifications.

It is not that hard to do and a really good stop gap solution. Plus you can also bundle Whatsapp and more all in one platform.

@lkroll thanks. I'll give that a try
