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.

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

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,
