      Many thanks to ldubeuf @lduboeuf (with the review of UniversalSuperBox @UniSuperBox ) for spending a lot of time to solve this very disabling problem that no longer appears on the Dev channel (i don't know for RC). This is an important step for the good use of Morph-browser on a daily basis. 👍👍

    • Webber - webapp creator

      Just for information, on the Openstore, a new Webapp creator : Webber.
      The application is only in its first steps but seems to me very fluid and easy to use.
      Thanks to Tim Süberkrüb.

    • RE: uWolf (LibreWolf)

      @ChromiumOS-Guy Thank you to you and @Fuseteam . It is good to realize in a concrete way all the investment time that this requires voluntarily to obtain an app which will make great service to all. It takes a lot of skills of course, but also above all a lot of passion for that.

      And this comment is of course valid for all developers who spend number hours to develop apps for UT.

      Even if I have two days late (sorry, I didn't know the American thanksgiving day 😉), I think that BALCY with his huge work on morph-browser also specifically deserves a big thank you because without his work, the phones would only have rather limited functions... !!

      There has been a lot of progress on Morph-browser, thanks, but there are still too many sticking points on it for a browser easy daily use. What do you think of this situation ?

      As an indispensable (game 😉) new port on the OpenStore, there is now Tux Racer. Very happy about that ! 🙂

    • How are the projects doing?

      What are the progress of the various projects: OTA-23, Ubuntu 20.04 port... ?
      It would be fine to have a new communication, some fresh news (on the forum or a new Q&A ?) : the last communication is the Q&A of March 19 i think.
      Thanks

      When I learned that Canonical was dropping the project for their own reasons, I was "disappointed". When I heard that Ubports was taking over the project, I had great hope, and it was only confirmed : only developments and prospects !!

      AI 2 : RCS and Ubuntu touch : little hope !

      RCS on Ubuntu Touch: Technical Feasibility and Possible Solutions

      Your Question

      Can the RCS protocol be easily ported to the alternative ROM Ubuntu Touch based on Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04? Are there technical solutions?


      Direct Answer

      Yes, Ubuntu Touch presents favorable technical opportunities for porting RCS, but no solution is currently officially operational.


      Favorable Architecture of Ubuntu Touch

      Unlike AOSP-based ROMs, Ubuntu Touch relies on a Linux-native architecture with Qt/QML technologies for its applications. The official messaging app uses a history-service backend and currently only supports SMS/MMS, but its modular design offers the flexibility necessary to integrate an RCS stack without the constraints imposed by the Google Play Services ecosystem.


      Three Identified Technical Paths

      1. Native Qt/QML RCS Client

      This approach would allow directly implementing GSMA specifications within Ubuntu Touch's open code. However, this would likely require GSMA certification and potentially direct agreements with telecom operators to access their RCS servers.

      2. Waydroid as Android Container

      Ubuntu Touch already includes experimental support for Waydroid, allowing Google Messages to run isolated in an Android container within the Linux system. This would provide full RCS functionality while maintaining the de-googled base system, although this maintains some indirect dependency on Google services.

      3. Porting Third-Party Applications via Click/OpenStore

      Ubuntu Touch's Click package system already allows deployment of complex applications like Delta Chat. A compatible RCS client could therefore theoretically be ported to this ecosystem without resorting to proprietary frameworks.


      Prerequisite Conditions Required

      Regardless of the chosen approach, several conditions remain essential:

      • Access your operator's specific RCS servers as they vary by region
      • Obtain GSMA certification if developing an independent client rather than using Google's
      • Manage history integration with the existing history-service backend to ensure data consistency between SMS, MMS, and RCS

      Current Status and Outlook

      As of today, no official RCS implementation is available on Ubuntu Touch. These proposals are based on technical discussions documented within the UBports community which identified these possibilities. True viability will depend on mobilizing active contributors with the necessary knowledge in telecommunications protocols and Qt/QML development. Without dedicated community investment, these technical paths will remain theoretical despite their demonstrated architectural feasibility.

    • RE: Smooth Edges (name pending) - Let's Fix the Bugs That Drive You Mad

      @projectmoon I question AI about android ROM's : you are right :

      The answer :

      In summary: the RCS protocol is very difficult to deploy on most alternative Android ROMs independent of the Google Play Store. Here's why:

      Main Technical Issues

      1. RCS heavily depends on Google services

      • The standard RCS stack uses Google's proprietary Jibe backend
      • It requires Play Services to function properly
      • The Google Messages application is virtually indispensable, as most carriers only authorize it through this app

      2. Blocking integrity checks Recently, Google has implemented Play Integrity API attestations that prevent using Google Messages on modified systems like:

      • GrapheneOS: explicitly states that "RCS is practically impossible" without Google services
      • LineageOS without GApps: the default AOSP messaging app does not support RCS because it is not open source

      Possible Alternative Solutions

      Option 1: Installing microG + Google Messages has low viability due to being blocked by Play Integrity checks.

      Option 2: Self-hosted RCS server remains theoretical since there is currently no mainstream open-source implementation available.

      Option 3: Using partial GApps offers medium viability but represents a compromise on the privacy you sought when choosing an alternative ROM.

      Conclusion

      To use RCS reliably, you are practically forced to keep some form of Google services. If your priority is privacy (hence the choice of an alternative ROM), this represents a notable compromise between modern messaging features and de-googling your system.

      Fully open solutions exist theoretically but severely lack operational implementations accessible to average users.

      Maybe possible but very difficult !

      That's why recorder app works for me on my volla 22 and 24.04-2.x today daily ? because the app was installed before ?

C"est aussi un investissement, mais pour un smartphone avec UT préinstallé, tu pourras si nécessaire joindre les développeurs de Volla.
