First, it would be great with an update on the Vollaphone.

Second, how important do you consider the community porting effort in bringing interest to the UBPorts Ubuntu Touch project as a whole? Given that there seem to be a number of half-functioning ports which cannot be installed using the installer, is this at all beneficial to the project? If the porting effort is a good thing in your view, can you recommend any specific sources of knowledge to those who are meeting hardware enablement challenges on their devices?

Third, could you give an update on Halium 7 & 9 again, like last week? Regarding Halium 9, what is the probability of success in creating a fully functional Halium 9 based port of UT on any device at the moment (and which are the best candidates) ? What are the main blockers, and when you peek into your crystal ball, how long do you think we will be burdened with them?

And last, with FIDO2 security beginning to be adopted within organizations and companies, is this on the roadmap for UT?

Re: LG G4

A port for the LG G4 is now available for testing using the UBports installer. The port has not been released officially through the installer yet, but it can be installed by using the installer from the command line, as described below.

1. Download and install the UBports installer. https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.8.8-beta
2. Download the installer config file: https://github.com/abkro/H815
3. From the command line, issue the following command:
   ubports-installer -f <path-to-h815,.yml>
4. Follow the instructions.

Note that you may have to remove and replace the battery after being in bootloader, when you subsequently need to boot into recovery.

The device page for the LG G4 will get updated (minor changes) shortly.

A few known issues worth noting are:

• wifi authentication is not remembered across boots
• bluetooth starts, but does not work properly yet
• after being connected to an external monitor (cabled connection/slimport) some of the icons at the top of the screen may be displayed with incorrect scaling.

@peat_psuwit said in Call for testing: Updated Pulseaudio & better Bluetooth headset support:

@aribk The issue that the playing streams won't switch to the headset after a re-connect is issue #1045. However, the rest of the issues is not known to me. If you care enough, could you please check if it's a regression or not. If it is, or it's inconvenient to test with the previous version, please follow the instructions for collecting the log.

OK. Today I resumed testing on my N5. I reinstalled devel with the UBports installer and repeated your steps above.

I tried out a wired headset and this works well.

Then I followed some of canonical's steps that you linked to. I have the output of all the 'pactl list sink' tests if you're interested. They all give the expected media.role output, except when playing a ringtone. In this case I got 'media.role = "multimedia" ' But I played the ringtone from settings > sound > ringtones . Just thought it might be worth mentioning in case this gives a different result from an actual call.

I hope to secure a bluetooth headset during the course of the day to be able to test this. Will follow up and send you the logs if I run into trouble.
