If you know QML

thanks for the pointer

@Moem I always wanted Linux OS on the phone. Fairphone 4 satisfied all my wishes in terms of hardware features and quality, so I'm really happy being able to put a Linux on it.

I can't find other Linux firmware with complete support for FP4, so I guess UTouch is my starting point. I'm not sure what I will achieve, hopefully it's not that hard to switch the UI layer(?). However, honestly, just the two swype actions are used in this OS, so running them via simple bottom buttons would be a minimal but suitable change.

Maybe the left swipe and right swipe could be mapped to volume up and down physical buttons?

I'm not sure if such question was already discussed, most likely it was but I'm bad at searching. I'm not sure which category it best fits so posting here.

I know that many other mobile OSes started offering swipe gestures, but I hate them. It's very uncomfortable to do when you're holding the phone in your hand. I really love 3 simple buttons at the bottom of the phone. Could we have them in ubuntu touch?

• left button: does the same as swipe from left
• right button does the same as swipe from right
• middle button (if present): minimize all apps showing the wallpaper (or perhaps it's called background in ubuntu)

I know that ubuntu touch is not for everyone. Maybe I'm in the minority who doesn't like it, but everyone else is ok with the lack of simple navigation buttons. I'm curious to be honest, but with the current experience I'll perhaps resarch options to move to kde plasma.

@kugiigi said in is 5G already supported on Fairphone 4?:

Even 4G is gone in your place?

It depends on the operator. Sure there is one having solid coverage of any signal anywhere around, but it costs 4 times more. I don't miss the slow pre-5G access anyway.

The question comes at: 37:20

woohoo, that's a really great news

by the way, they said porting code to openssl 3.x holds them down. Interestingly there's a nice feature to use new openssl lib with old client code by specifying the api level

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/ba90c491254fd3cee8a2f791fc191dcff27036c1/Configure#L70-L74

but obviously updating the old apps is a better choice long term.

You could ask the question for our q&a here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10790/ubuntu-touch-q-a-159-call-for-questions

I missed the date, was the question asked? I have skimmed through the YT recording, but I believe it was ignored.

What is the way to submit a bug against the device documentation as it falsely advertise that data is working on FP4? I can't use Telegram (mainly because I really don't want to, if you have to ask).

I've just installed, no 5G option. I'm also waiting for it as I don't have the old cell types available near me, only 5G.
