@wisdomlight yes, and no. There are several options, but none of them are perfect:

1. Install Axolotl from the openstore. It can act as a primary or secondary device. It's currently bare bone and didn't always work when i used it as a secondary device, haven't tried primary.

2. Install Signal through waydroid. It works well, but you don't get push notifications and waydroid drains your battery faster.

3. Create a matrix bridge or purchase one. The bridge act as a secondary device and you can use the matrix app Cinny.

I currently use a purchased matrix bridge from element one, and Cinny. It works ok now after they resolved some issues with the bridge that happened earlier this year. I use signal in waydroid as a primary device, and have it as a backup in case the bridge fail ( it has been stable so far). Unfortunately I can't copy paste stuff in the Cinny app, i've opened an issue on github.

Some pinephones have stability issues at the high dram frequency the images have. How will you address this for future non tech savvy users?

Good presentation at the ubuntu summit.
How was the reception afterward, were people interested in the project?
I was hoping you'd be using the jingpad for it, that would have blown peoples mind. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

i don't know how to to use the adb commands, I need to figure that out

Will snaps that support push-notifications like Fluffychat work out of the box on UT?

I also get no keyboard on Signal. The log says:

[4821:0616/124406.699401:ERROR:content/browser/browsermainloop.cc:290] GLib-GObject: gobjectgetqdata: assertion 'GIS_OBJECT (object)' failed

The proton-mail app goes black when i switch between other apps.

Web browser is a huge upgrade. The only downside is that it's slow/stuttering when switching between web tabs.

Tested on fp5

same signal issue on fp4, the bar is empty in areas with "bad" connection and half bar where it usually is full. i also get full bar in some areas, but the threshold has changed. Devel from 06.04.26 did not have that issue.

On Noble I'm not getting any Cinny notifications, but the same app works flawless on Focal. What's up with that?

@kugiigi Don't forget that it also fixed the battery drain on FP4 that almost broke you

tested 20.04 rc, fp4. Everything seems to work great, it even feels more responsive.

Several apps in the open-store didn't work after upgrading to noble, like amazfish and ambot (works with latest update). This felt like a subpar experience compared to the xenial-> focal update where the apps in the store had a seperate focal branch and were expected to work. Why was it done differently this time?

99% certain this has something to do with waydroid. I get it all the time on fp4, but only after i used waydroid. Is there an open issue somewhere on gitlab?

The brightness is wrong before i log in. I tested this with two fairphone 4, one noble and one focal with brightness set on lowest. After i log in i get the correct brightness

Hi! Community stalker here! I used to stalk/read the Dev sync notes, but they haven't been updated since April. Will they be back, or are you hiding from me?
