Hi @kuailexs For device info on the devices website see: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/about/device-file/ , you'll find the file format and templates.
I don't know about adding repositories for a new device. I'd try asking in the porting group on Telegram.
Hi! In the last few days we have updated two of our websites ubuntu-touch.io and lomiri.com . Check them out. Next one on the list is ubports.com 
Thanks to all of the contributors @Kaizen @Lga @kingu and @flohack for managing our websites and releasing the new update.
P. S. All the content on the websites is available for changes and suggestions in Gitlab repos: https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/ubuntu-touch.io and https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/lomiri.com
Hi! A long-awaited update has been released. We now have a more up to date list of promoted devices at devices.ubuntu-touch.io/promoted . Check it out.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed to the process of building the page, especially to @Kaizen for his original designs, @Lga for device images and @kingu for text review and improvements.
More updates will follow, check https://ubuntu-touch-dev.netlify.app/ if you'd like to get a preview of what is coming next.
Hi @kingu,
I think I've incorporated most of the feedback into a new design for ubuntu-touch.io
Just a few notes:
@kingu said in New websites:
2 Get a screenshot of the desktop in. Would suggest using the birds https://ubuntu-touch.onestein.eu/web/image/64602/background_home-2.jpg and then imposing a fading image onto there.
The birds image doesn't fit with a fading image, because on the screenshots the most important details are on the edges (dock and indicators).
@kingu said in New websites:
Sleek and secure
The best of both worlds.
I wouldn't put " sleek and secure " as a feature that sets Ubuntu Touch apart. Any other operating system could claim the same. A more appealing way to market it might be to showcase individual features: app confinement, read-only file system, data kept on the device by default. These would make sense if we wanted to differentiate ourselves from other mobile Linux distributions. We might want to think about what alternatives we are considering: Android/iOS or other Linux distributions?
This kind of marketing may be more in line with Postmarket OS promotion than UT's. They are more focused on libre software (not using Halium or proprietary drivers), security with full disk encryption and long lasting phones (using mainline kernel). On our side, I think we are more focused on Ubuntu Touch being user friendly and usable as a daily driver, accepting the compromise of having some proprietary software installed (Halium, Widevine...).
For the installer:
@kingu said in New websites:
"Stuck on your default OS?"
This ties someone elses OS to the user with "yours". "Default" lends credibility to it.
"A whole mobile operating system experience, that is yours" does better, but reusing the already established moniker wins points.move to "copylefted libre software"
I think the confusion over calling Ubuntu Touch "UBPorts" is that it would logically follow that
The "UBPorts Installer" installs "UBPorts".
Having it be "Ubuntu Touch/installer" allows saying "About" rather than "About Ubuntu Touch"
As far as I know the UBports installer was never intended to be an installer exclusively for Ubuntu Touch, but a joint effort between communities to make it easier to switch between OSes. Branding it as "the Ubuntu Touch installer" goes in the opposite direction and is in my opinion detrimental as we need more contributors to keep it up to date and stable. Currently, postmarketOS and Droidian can also be installed from the installer.
Most of the other issues are already fixed in the real website components, only the design is a bit outdated and I have modified the text to remove the remaining issues.
@Emphrath Hi! There are currently 3 different pages stating different devices to use Ubuntu Touch on, which are maintained by different people: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ which is community maintained, https://ubports.com/en/supported-products and https://ubuntu-touch.io/get-ubuntu-touch for UBports and Ubuntu Touch websites, which is difficult to understand. The reason for having two different sets of devices is that the Foundation promotes devices from manufacturers such as Volla, which are sold with Ubuntu Touch pre-installed. The second reason is historical; in the early days of UBports, there were only a few ports available, and these were listed on the Ubuntu Touch page.
@arubislander The idea is that in the future there will only be one website that lists devices, and within that there will be a section or page that lists the promoted devices.
@doniks Yes, that's exactly the reason. Ubuntu Touch is one of the projects that UBports' amazing contributors are working on. But our community does more, and some of these projects are not just for UBports to use, but to share with other open source communities so they can use them and maybe contribute back.
Fixed ut.io, I still need to think a bit about a new text for devices page. As for navigation, yes, it works like that.
Thanks for the suggestions
@Bolly Hi, aggregating community blogs sounds interesting. I'll take a look at how that works, but that's probably material for future enhancement.
@stanwood Of course. Will be added in the next revision of the design process
Hi @johndoe . Sure, we can have a category for news too. My goal is to have a website that is simple to navigate both on desktop and mobile, so there will be design and testing to ensure that.
I don't write Q&A posts myself, but I forwarded your message to the right person
Hi everyone! I'm Capsia, from the websites team. We're currently working on completely remaking our websites, and we want you to be a part of it! Our goal is to make things easier and more intuitive, so we're looking for your ideas, feedback, and suggestions. In the past few weeks I've been working on wireframes that I'd like to share with you.

To @Lga for providing awesome looking images of devices (see: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10106/phone-and-tablet-models-for-ubuntu-touch, more on how these will be used will be shared soon). To Bram, Kiek and Jeroen for Odoo implementation, project organization and documentation.
Hi @UBportsNews. What are the plans for 24.04 now that upstream Ubuntu is already releasing daily builds, will we also have development builds? Will Ubuntu Touch 24.4.0 be released on the same day as upstream?
Thank you for all the great work you put into Ubuntu Touch!
@lduboeuf Hi! The Italian cell broadcast system IT-Alert will be tested during 7 dates in September and October.
They will then ask to submit a form about the experience on different devices and operating systems.

@jin-diggs Hi! The UBports forum runs on NodeBB, here is the repository: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB
The one from Philips is Discourse 
Hello! Fluffychat is very cool! I'd like to see support for reactions in it. The desktop version shows them but the UT one doesn't. The feature probably wouldn't change anyone's life, but.... it is just to add some more "fluffyness"
Hello @ready-go . The current image is built for the Pi 3 only because the kernel is built for that Pi only. The Pi 4 image can be built, but nothing would be displayed because of missing support for some gpu functions in the version of Mir ( the display server ) currently used in UT. When we will reach the 20.04 base in Ubuntu Touch and upgrade Mir a functioning image could be released
@ma Hello! The folder you are searching for is probably ~/.local/share/applications. It is a hidden folder so you need to enable "Show hidden files" in the file manager and unlock using the password or you can do it in the terminal.
@kazord Hello! We had the same idea
I've implemented it with many optimizations a few days ago. The result was a script running 45 seconds on Intel i7 or 2 minutes 30 seconds on a Raspberry Pi. The script is single thread so it could be further optimized. The lists were ~17MB of total size when the script ended. Querying the data from Apache takes less than 5 seconds. So far it seems too good to be true, so I wanted to ask @beli3ver if I may take a look at the original sources. The idea is to build this for serverless infrastructure on Netlify that will require very little costs and almost no maintenance. Idk the numbers of requests to uadblock servers, but maybe that could be done also with the free plan.
Thank you for all your efforts in Uadblock
Sometimes in our lives we meet magic people that want to help others and we want to be more like them. Thank you for being an inspiration, for all your efforts and your kindness. Have some rest, we will treasure all the things you have taught us and that make our community friendly and curious
@nikfrager Good! I'm merging it. Thank you
