    • RE: USB file transfer mode

      Hi @ezst036

      To clarify what everyone is saying, you have to swipe out the lock screen if you don't have any code set.
      It's still necessary to unlock the phone. It just doesn't mean what you think it means.

    • RE: How I'm now using Signal on UT

      Hi @pparent

      You have the possibility to host the bridge at home as far as I can tell.
      That's the beauty and magic of Open Source Software...

      Of course it requires some time and efforts. One has to make their own security/privacy assessment.

    • RE: Maybe a new mainline device?

      Hi @Rondarius

      IIRC the question was asked in a Q&A or on Telegram.
      There is currently no official contact between the UBports foundation and Liberux.

      But of course our door is open and they are welcome to try and port Ubuntu Touch to this device.
      The more the merrier.
      And if they have some issues while porting they can do the same as any porter and contact us on the forum or Telegram for help.

      The foundation do not have the means to kickstart ports for devices.
      The Fairphones are a good development base as they are rare devices to support wired external display and have very good performances.
      With this exception, we rely on devices contributors have and want to have working with Ubuntu Touch, in other terms a personal goal instead of something driven by the foundation.

      @stanwood and @adorsaz
      It might already be available in Devel.
      But I don't have this device to check things out.

    • RE: Volla Quintus Update fails

      @haagch said in Volla Quintus Update fails:

      I guess I'll mark this as solved even though going through RC is more of a workaround than an actual solution, because the update really should just work.

      Hi @haagch ,
      This is the way to go.
      The forum is not a bug tracker.
      You had an issue someone helped you solve it.

      For reporting bugs it should be done in the Gitlab or Github dedicated to the proper project.
      Can be Ubuntu Touch, a specific app, a device specific issue, ...

    • RE: What's the best way to store a user password?

      @Vlad-Nirky said in What's the best way to store a user password?:

      Isn't it a problem for any operating system ?

      For proprietary OS, they can easily work around it by integrating a secret in the binary and only the authenticated user can make use of this secret to access sensitive data.
      It's not the best, but it's pretty good.
      Or they can rely on security cores to store all the user's secrets in it and grant access only to a trusted piece of code made by the developer of the OS then it's up to the OS to check the user's credentials before accessing the sensitive data.
      This is widely used nowadays but do you trust the OS developer with your secrets?

      Hi @RayCulp

      Never noticed something of the sort.
      But I very rarely receive calls when I'm in flight mode (I would know because my provider sends an SMS on missed calls without voicemail)

    • RE: What's the best way to store a user password?

      Hi @Vlad-Nirky

      OP wanted a secure way to store user's password for the app to use.
      That's an issue with Ubuntu Touch as if a malicious actor can figure out the encryption method used and the key just by reading the sources.
      A solution would require a way to encrypt the password and ensure that only the intended and unaltered app can access it.

      Non trivial.

    • RE: Waydroid Apps Crash Propagation / Session Crashing (+Workaround)

      Hi @bamboy360

      I see you made quite some posts here.
      I appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu Touch and your intention to help however you can.

      I just wanted to clarify that the forum is intended to discuss topics with the community.
      I'm explaining this because some posts can be interpreted as bug reports or feature requests.
      For bugs and requests it's best to create an issue on Gitlab or to the relevant project (Waydroid or a specific app).

      Cheers mate ✌

    • RE: Could Ladybird be the replacement for Morph Browser?

      Hi @saveurlinux

      They plan a first alpha release in 2026.
      So it's not for today. But if they want to support Ubuntu Touch, they are welcome to contact us for help integrating it.
      There are many trials to create an alternative to Chrome and all are welcome to make a version for Ubuntu Touch.

      UBports sadly does not have the resources to work on something else.

      We have efforts made to bring Webkit to Ubuntu Touch as well as work done with Firefox and the upgrade of Morph to Qt6. 3 projects and probably only 3 persons doing work.
      And they also contribute to porting, apps and the OS.

    • RE: Resize main partition to usefull size.

      @PiotrBujakowski
      It won't be supported because it is intentionally not supported.

      Not everything is in Snap. Correct; also not everything is in DEB file or not everything is in flatpack...
      So no need to ask some broad question like this, you'll save time and effort to simply explain what you try to accomplish.

      If you have specific wishes or need then there are methods to get what you want.
      It often involves spending money for someone else to do it for you or investing your time into doing it yourself like most things in life. 🤷

    • RE: Can it do External Monitor + Screen Off?

      @faveoled
      You don't want it this way, but this is how it is intended to work.

      And how would you lock the device if not with the power button?
      Your specific use case is not how it has been designed to work.

      When connected to an external screen, the touchscreen is intended as a trackpad and/or virtual keyboard.
      The power button is used as always to lock the phone.

      If there is a workaround for you, maybe someone will be able to help.
      But don't expect a change in the OS only to help with your broken device.

    • RE: Can it do External Monitor + Screen Off?

      @faveoled said in Can it do External Monitor + Screen Off?:

      the device's display does unwanted clicks.

      I mean this must be a hardware issue.

      The behavior of Ubuntu Touch is as expected.
      If you lock your phone, then ... it's locked. 🤷

      If I understand your issue, you want to switch off the screen (including the touchscreen) programmatically to avoid those phantom clicks.
      For this I guess it should be electrically switched off as the input seems sketchy.

      I wouldn't know where to start, but if I could help clarify the issue, that would be something I guess 🤔

    • RE: Running Waydroid fails...

      Hi

      @jojumaxx said in Running Waydroid fails...:

      Do you mean this list?

      I sense that you're not talking about the same list.
      @arubislander was probably referring to this one: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/vidofnir/

      The "waydroid" feature is shown as: Partial = Working to some extent but with issues

      Clicking on this link leads to the actual issue. And it's the same as the Quintus.
      https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/waydroid/-/issues/24
      But wait, there's more; this issue is not really one, but instead it's a workaround made by Jami in order to setup waydroid on both devices (Volla X23 and Quintus)...

      And I hope that this is the answer you were looking for.

    • RE: Brax3 the mysterious

      Hi @Vlad-Nirky

      It will be installable for sure when the port is ready.

      But will Ubuntu Touch be preinstalled.
      That I do not know.

      I don't have insider's news about that, but here is what I foresee based on my readings online and what has been announced by Brax Technologies.
      Trump's tariffs are postponed but they are still on the table from what I read.
      So assembly in the EU might happen at some point I would say.

      But that's a gambit and we don't know what the future might hold.

      One the one hand, I would say that if one is interested in the Brax3, that would be the time to buy.
      Because manufacturing or assembling in the EU will be more expensive for sure and if you add the shipment costs that's an even higher price.
      But on the other hand it's hard to predict what Trump will really do, so it is also possible that nothing changes from the initial plans of Brax.

      They updated the Indiegogo campaign to clarify that they can continue with the initial plan.
      https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/brax3-the-most-privacy-friendly-smartphone#/updates/all

      So no additional cost.
      The software development is still in progress for the android version and the port of Ubuntu Touch is in progress...
