News is still fresh but going viral : https://ubports.com/blog/1/post/271

@domubpkm
As you understood, that's just an opinion.
And on certain circumstances I could make an exception for app X or Y.

But I prefer to live without the convenience than becoming slave of it.
It's a personal choice and I understand that people make another one.
That's the beauty of freedom.

@domubpkm
In fact there are 6 of them.

This is a picture I took of my BH. The label on the left describes what they are for.
Sorry for the blur macro is bad with the phone's camera.

Hi, you just opened 4 threads in a row just with complains about the OS.

We are a community and everyone can contribute. But simply asking for stability, customization or anything that is convenient to you does not help.
I don't say your ideas are bad, just that if you take the time to read a bit more and learn about what is currently done you'll know that anything you ask here is far from being a priority.

Ubuntu Touch is very stable and it is one of the top priorities despite what you wrote here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4905/stability
That's why OTA13 has been postponed.

As I said, we're a community and here to help each other.
Opening a bunch of thread just to complain about UT not being Android is considered like SPAM.

So please ask yourself how you can help. Or if you have a specific issue you can ask for help or open an issue in gitlab if you found a bug.
But you'll have to be specific.

Thanks.

@olddh
I don't pretend to know what you think is done by UBports core team.

But be sure that People are working on the Pinephone.
Also people are working on global system features.

There is no priority given to Android ports, most ports come from community members.

The priority is towards a better OS for everyone.

BTW thanks to everyone involved in OTA18, this is a good update, so thanks developers, testers, translators, ...

@makeixo
Stating fact is not the problem here. We are all aware of what could be better.

You came here and wrote this and this. What people trying to actually DO something hear is:
I don't understand why such basic think is not done yet.

Even if you came just asking question this is not the way to do it.
In community like this one, what is appreciated is:

• Being thankful for the job already done
• People who want to contribute by trying/doing

Stating the obvious doesn't help anyone.
Criticism is not banished. But it should be a productive one.

When you see something that doesn't work the way you want, you can come here and ask what can I do.
Personally I use UT for 2 years now on my daily driver (a Nexus 5). There are some issue, battery leaks, ... but I'm glad to have an alternative to Android which drove me crazy years ago.

I couldn't control my domotic, so I created an app. Some people use it and I'm glad I'm able to give a little back to the community.

This message is not condescending, I expect it to be something that will help you (and others) understand the philosophy of open source communities. Do not simply come and ask ; come and ask what you can do to help.
Everyone is welcome to contribute with what they can offer.

Nice opportunity for me to say a big thanks to every contributor. I'm a happy user of UBPorts !

@PINE64 Yeah \o/
I refreshed my browser all morning until could place an order

@jezek said in The MMS lost story:

I'm sorry, I'm so slow with progress

Don't be sorry, you're infinitely faster than one that does nothing.
Thank you very much for your time and trouble.

@peter-gamma
I think Xiaomi is the next Google.
Their products look good, sound good are not expensive (yet). But later scandal after scandal users will discover the truth behind and quality will decrease...
A company is a company, no brand makes only good products, so you still need to compare products.

And as for the best hardware to install UT on, the answer is : the more open
Less blobs, more open source drivers/firmwares, mainstream kernel, ...
Those will help our community as @PhoenixLandPirat already said.

@dobey
No need to be rude back. We're still a friendly community.

You know you can scare people off sometimes

@matte0
I don't know what you mean by final release but this is a community effort.
So it depends on the time and will of volunteers ti improve things.
Sometimes devices are harder to port and some issue will remain.

So I would get in touch with the developer and see if they are still working on it or if someone else (maybe you) has to step up and help with the remaining issues.

Q&A is over, so I'll lock this thread.
Feel free to open a new thread if you wish to discuss further more.

Hi @matte0 and welcome,

If you got a BQ U Plus, there already is an existing port for it.
Sadly it's not available in the UBports installer so in order to get installation instructions, I suggest you read this thread:
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2941/porting-ubuntu-touch-ubports-to-tenshi-bq-aquaris-u-plus

Or you can try to reach out for @Guf

@cor3
Also keep the phone outdoor as it won't catch any satellite signal indoor.
Seems obvious for some but worth mentioning.

Hi @s710

First of all, thanks for the radio app. I'm currently testing/using it and it's great to be able to have access to my favorite radio on my phone.

IIRC, Dobey uses qzxing for authenticator-ng.
I'll take a look at his git and borrow some code.
https://gitlab.com/dobey/authenticator-ng

I think what you're struggling with is pakaging the lib within your click package.

@sven
I think you can try to connect manually by tapping on the wifi SSID (white label) with autoconnect=false but I'm not sure it will work.
I think changes to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/MyNetorkSSID are only applied after a reboot.

@sven
In the dropdown menu you can access the wifi parameters.
There you can access the list of know SSID.
Tap on the one you're connected to and you'll have the option to delete this network.

To ease the next connection, you can display and copy the passphrase to ease logging in again

I don't remember an option about automatic connection, but maybe I'm wrong.
The previous method is blunt but works

@gdegrez said in Running desktop applications on UBTouch:

but it doesn't work: in tablet mode (without BT KB+M), it just doesn't open the software KB

That's a common issue with "so called legacy apps" the experience is not good because this use case was not considered by the developers.

@nfsprodriver
It is hard to identify the cause, that's why having an identified system image on a know hardware is helpful to differentiate what comes from the device, from UT or from the apps.
Vibration is supposed to work on your device.

Is anyone able to confirm this issue without WayDroid ?

Hi @nfsprodriver

For issues linked to WayDroid please open an issue on their git repository.
For us here to help it's best to keep a standard configuration so people can reproduce/confirm the issue.
Impacts from WayDroid are not known and should be reported to their developer to improve it.
