@Kaizen Hi,
thank you, great pages.
Just some notes for the devices page:

1. We have an official device checklist for working features at: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/general/-/blob/master/DeviceChecklist.md
2. The installer and the preparatory steps sections could be merged in a how to install, which would be easier to read.
3. If a user gets stuck while installing, it could be useful to have links to the forum, telegram channel and/or matrix channel.
   I've made some changes to the page you've shared:

Hi,
just a few thoughts about Open-store and apt package manager. I don't think that any of the two ways is perfect or wrong, they are just different in the way they handle security and privacy.
Open store allows everyone to upload a new app, that will be automatically added and will be available by default on all the UT devices. Apps aren't checked by humans if they don't ask for dangerous permissions, because they are containerized.
APT has some default repositories which only contain apps that are trusted by the OS maker. Apps can't be submitted to be displayed in apt. The user can install all the other apps by adding repositories, that the user should trust. An app is added to the default repository only if it has enough users and it passed mantainer's security checks. This makes containerization almost unnecessary, but still a nice measure for extra security.

Hi,
this is an experiment I've done with Ubuntu Touch and I would like to share. If someone needs a microphone for conferencing during the pandemic but doesn't have one, here is how to use your Ubuntu Touch phone as a microphone for your pc.

Things you need:

1. Your Ubuntu Touch phone
2. A jack to jack audio cable

Step by step:

1. Plug the cable into the microphone port of your pc and in the jack port of your phone.
   Check that you've done the step 1 before going to step 2.
   Check in the sound panel that headphones are plugged.
2. Run the following command in the terminal:
   pactl load-module module-loopback
3. Note the number in the output, you'll need it to stop microphone sharing.
4. Enable silent mode to prevent notifications from going into the microphone.

To stop sharing microphone:

1. Run the following in the terminal replacing number_to_replace with the number you have noted before. Do not unplug the cable before running the command.
   pactl unload-module number_to_replace
2. You can now safely remove the cable.

Please check that you've done the operations in the correct order. (Don't hurt your ears).

Tested on Nexus 5 Dev

@Rebecca58 Hi,
the hotspot issue is a known issue on Nexus 5 and maybe also on the other devices.
You can enable tethering from UT Tweak Tool:

1. Install UTTT from the OpenStore and open it
2. Go to the system section in the top left hamburger menu
3. In the ADB settings, you will find RNDIS, enable it for USB tethering

Hi @arubislander ,
I'd like to contribute an adapted icon that looks more Ubuntuish to make the app follow the icon style.

Hi,
maybe just a red border to mark the notification as important and persistent could work and at the same time would be more consistent in the UT style.

Hi,
I would like to ask if there will be some kind of collaboration with Mozilla given that now they are working to make the ESR versions of Firefox compatible with the infrastructure of KaiOS and possibly also with the old FirefoxOS infrastructure. Could this bring Mozilla and UBPorts together? Would it be possible to make FirefoxOS apps available on UT? Are there any possibilities to have Firefox browser on UT?

Thank you

@BigB Hi, afaik NetworkManager doesn't manage cellular connection in UT, you should probably try with ofono / rild.

@scottbouch For Davical there is no maintenance needed, unless you want some more advanced setup, and it is very reliable, but it isn't very easy to install. There is a package in the default Ubuntu repository, but you'll have to setup manually PostgreSQL and Apache.

@scottbouch Hi, I'm using Davical on my Pi (Ubuntu server) and it works very well on my UT phone. I've also tried Radicale and Baikal, but I can't say much about them, because I haven't had UT yet.

@Aury88 Hi, I think Ubuntu Touch isn't Java based, and afaik it doesn't support Java apps. It was in the original design, so I kept it, but it is probably a misinterpretation of the current text:

Sure, three billion devices run Java. But did you know that 44 devices run Ubuntu Touch? By the way, if your device is not listed here, you might be interested to learn how to make the 45th Ubuntu Touch port!

from https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
It should be probably changed to something more appropriate.

Hi, what about Firefox Lockwise?
I'm currently using it with Firefox desktop on Libertine, but UI isn't very easy to use

@stanwood Hi,
Activity tracker shows altitude

@Rebecca58 Hi,
to see the share button you'll need to switch view from icons to list in the app settings.
then you'll be able to swipe from the right and see the share icon.

@Rebecca58 RNDIS stands for 'Remote network driver interface specification', usually known as USB network tethering, MTP (default) is used to access files on the phone when connected using a usb cable.
