@libremax Thanks for posting! I'm still at Bornhack, and beside the talk, there are so many folks here who are interested in Ubuntu Touch. Now that people know that I'm using it, lots of people want to talk to me about it and ask me questions, and I answer as many as I can.
My show-and-tell device (BQ Aquaris E4.5) goes from hand to hand (yes, we use sanitizer) and people are amazed by the smooth operation, and more when I tell them how old it is.

I'm hoping to be causing a small influx of interest in our OS and community. I'm certainly doing my best to do so!

I was one of the volunteers humanning the stand, and it was great. We were able to answer a lot of questions, we showed many different devices on our stand, and people were quite enthousiastic about what we had to show and say. It was an inspiring day and we helped promote UT and make contact with organisations for possible collaboration. Time well spent!

YESSS
It's working! I have zoom, autofocus and flash! This is the last thing that was missing for me to be able to say that the phone is fully functional under UT!

Excuse me while I dance the happy dance...

@cliffcoggin said in Ushby have released an official Review on UT.:

I suggest the review is removed until a more objective one can be written.

Let's cut the author a little slack. They're allowed to voice their opinions, even if their opinions are based on a misunderstanding; as for feeling ill, the world would in my view be a better place if everyone was this open and honest about what influenced their mood at a certain time.

Ubuntu Touch:
It's in your hands.

@domubpkm said in How are the projects doing?:

we have never been used to such silence

It just shows how much Dalton did, and that he's being missed. I'm sure we will adjust, but it takes a little time.

@moem said in T-Shirt Slogan Competition!!:

Own
your phone

I'm revising this one to:

Ubuntu Touch:
The phone
you own

This would go great with this 'Yumi loves smartphone' image:

I think this idea will not really go anywhere as long as the native Signal-compatible app Axolotl is in a less than usable state. The trouble with Signal is that it's not fully open source either, so the small, small team of Axolotl devs* have to painstakingly reverse-engineer after every change in the official Signal app.

The people behind Telegram, however, are much more willing to work with our devs and that is why the native Telegram app works well.

(* who are doing the best they can, and it's appreciated!)

@nero355 said in Life with BQ4.5 after 20.04:

They need to have some kind of plan when it comes to porting to certain phone models for example!
At the moment it seems all a bit random ?!

Well, most of the porting is done by the community, that means by volunteers, to their abilities and at their leisure. You can't really plan for what volunteers all over the world may or may not be willing and able to do; they're not employees after all. In other words, from its very nature, it will always be a bit random.

On a strictly personal title: can you please refrain from telling the team what they need to do, must do or have to do? It sounds so demanding.
I know you probably don't mean it like that but it does come across that way.

@tuXut Nice card, good joke, but most people here don't speak German.

(The reindeer is saying that there is no chimney, and Santa is asking: So am I now supposed to climb through the heat pump, or what?

@kuailexs I suspect that several of your questions are answered in the documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting

@ton-metalhead said in recommend alternative android app for ubuntu touch:

Thanks, I've edited the topic title to make it clearer.

@ton-metalhead Sorry, what do you mean? What kind of app are you looking for?

@stefancito70 said in How can I lock again my Pixel 3a XL after installing ubuntu touch?:

It is just a blemish.

I propose to see it as something positive... a badge of honour. A scar, acquired in a battle for freedom, which you won by freeing the device from the grasp of Google.

@compromarly said in Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!:

Anybody got a link to the Ubuntu edition??

Sorry, a link to what? It's in the installer. Here's the device page: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/frieza/release/xenial/

@jam1388 Sounds great. Are all features working?

@kuailexs Hello and welcome, it's great to have you on board!

I don't think it's a voting thing, per se... but we're sure to catch their attention this way, I figure.
