Thanks for sharing your experience with UT!

I also had a hard time in the beginning. It took me and a friend alone 3 days to install it.
With windows 10 we desperately failed.
To wait one week, before Xaomi opened the boot loader, it made things not easier.
On Linux Mint than we succeed.

With the community I made the same experience like you: they are very supportive.

After they told me about waydroid, things went easier. It made it possible, to use it as my daily smartphone.

I love the idea of a open source system, what is build neither on android nor iOS.
This is my motivation, to go thru the challenges and stay on UT.

My impression is, that there is a lot of potential with in the community and the developers.
I think, more sooner than later UT it will grow exponential.

In the last Q&A (176) Marius said, he will build a group, that sort out, how to optimize UT for the normal user.
I am confidant this will bring the system way more forward, in terms of usability.

@pparent
I liked to do something for UT and to maybe can use Signal soon, so why not!?
I am not a programmer, so this was one thing I cut do.
I formulated it in a positive and constructive way, so I am happy with it.

Ok, this was what I didnt understand, that I have to install Molly in the waydroid container.

Done! Thanks a lot for helping me!

Now I can (nearly*) leave the android universe and move to Ubuntu touch.

*"nearly" because of the waydroid container

@pparent very cool

@theprivacydad
With the change to UT I also changed to the Xiaomi pocco X3. The batterie of the Pocco is huge in compare to my smartphone before. So I am happy anyway.

cool, now it works!

Hello,
view weeks ago I started to switch from Android (Calyx OS) to Ubuntu Touch.
I use my smartphone also as a freelancer and need to relay on it.
I tried few Navigation Apps and Organic Maps works at its best for me. It is, in a good way, simple, to use.

I wrote to them, if they like to adapted it to UT.

I have no idea in programming, but I wanted to share the answer:

"Hi O.....

We would love to support the development of OM for UT more actively, but our resources are very limited. With enough donations or active contributors/developers the situation may change.

There's already the cross-platform C++ core, only the good UI should be developed on top of it (although it's a lot of work…)

What are your thoughts/ideas on that?

With best regards,

Alexander Borsuk
Software Engineer & Co-Founder @ Organic Maps

@Vlad-Nirky Ok, I am sure to installed it from Android 10.
So have you any suggestion how I can fix it? I use the microphone very often, so it would makes things much easier to solve it.

but anyway, do you mean it has to do with the phone and not with UT?

@Vlad-Nirky Yes, I installed Android 10, before I installed Ubuntu Touch

Now I am using UT for few month as a daily device. Till voicemails are working on Signal, without waydroit, things went easier. But two issues I still have day for day, with makes things demanding.

The microphone don't work anymore, after I switch few times from app to app. Nether for recording, nor Whats App or Signal.
When I reboot the system, it works again till the next few switches.

The second thing is, that the Network Connectivity jump, without doing anything, from the first to the second sim card (the second sim card is usable only for calls), and than there is no Connectivity.l.

Have anybody an Idea what I can to?

My device is a Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC

@pparent very cool

@pparent I can´t send pictures at the moment, but I try to describe it.

There is a possibilities to set an emoticon: direct on the left beside the text "(-:" This doesn't work on my phone.

But now I found out, that there is another possibility on the downside between "where you can change to numbers". The button shows like a "earth".
So for me is ok now, but first I did not know the second way to set a smiley.

@pparent the emoticons are usable square but not up ride

@pparent Maybe in the near future the Signal Icon (it is an X in this case) will be function on a xaomi pocco x3 nfc.

@pparent I am very happy to have the voicemail option now, because I prefer them instead of typing.

The recording in terms of presence, echo, and the audio quality is very good.

@pparent
I can imagine, that Alexander is quite experienced, and together you will find good solutions.

If sombody else have ideas, I think is always good to hear and discuss them.

I will ask Alexander if I can give you his emailadress.
