Hello.

In Q&A 143 you tried to answer my question a search was done, but after you forgot about it. The question was:

Hi, in some recent Q&A, there was a mention about Focal working on FP2. I've checked OTA updates on the phone (I'm on rc), but there is no update to Focal. When is it planned to roll out? Thanks.

The recent Q&A, I'm talking about in the question is Q&A 139 and the mention was:

Fairphone 2
Flo reported that Focal is at last working on FP2. It is still a very dated device and there will not be any stunning performance improvement. For those whose top concern is sustainability, it is however a great example of how the latest UT can run on ancient hardware. Thanks to Mohammed for persisting with this work. Nexus 5 may follow but that hardware really is showing its age.

Could you say more about focal on FP2, please?

Thanks.

@Timespansoul said in No MMS with Wifi ON:

Could you verify that it also works via Messaging app?

MessagingApp is basically just an app that reads/writes to a sqlite db. Everything about MMS (checking, downloading, storing into db) is done in background and is handled by more processes. So your question about Messaging app is kind of irrelevant. And yes, I used the Messaging app to see if the MMS message was successfully delivered.

I've already did some research and written somewhere about this already. If I recall correctly, I didn't find the cause, but narrowed it down to some package. Try to search this forum and/or gitlab/github.

Hello, I must oppose the claim that receiving MMS message is not possible while WiFi on is a global issue.

At least on FP2, which still runs xenial UT, I can receive MMS message, when WiFi on. Just tested it right now. Turned on WiFi & mobile data, telegramed someone to send me a MMS message and received the message without problem.

Hello, in the blog, you write:

First, thanks for a wonderful information and to all that made that port possible.

My question is, how can I install it? Will it be like an OTA update, or do I need to install fresh using installer? Or something else?

@danfro said in tedit development and design discussion:

My only idea would be to constantly keep reading a copy and comparing that. But I don't think that would be good for performance and very reliable. So I am afraid there is not much I can do about it.

Pardon my intrusion.

Just a suggestion. You don't need to keep the whole text. You can make and store just a hash of the original text (before edited) and compare to a hash of current text (edited) at exit (to see if save is needed).

I don't know any malicious app in OpenStore, but...

Can OpenStore be hijacked like Snapstore with malicious apps, like in the SnapStore case with malicious bitcoin wallets?

They had to switch to manual review.
https://linuxiac.com/snap-store-now-requires-manual-review-for-the-apps/

From what I read/saw about the apps, they were all web-app like apps, that gave the (only) possibility to import a wallet and then sent all private data to attacker. Isn't this possible to do within a coffined app in Ubuntu Touch too?

The FP2 I own, has no focal port. In this post there was a claim, that it is possible to run focal on FP2, but no one told how. If there was an focal port, I would probably run it.

"...AppLee commented that he has never gone into flight mode by mistake."

To me it happened numerous times. Many times during calls I accidentally triggered flight mode with my ear. I figured it happened cause of proximity sensor not working, sometimes the phone boots and the sensor don't works. But even with working proximity sensor I happened to accidentally trigger flight mode (I'm more clumsy with my disability). It would be nice, if flight mode toggle (from the notification bar) would ask before turning on. But it is not critical.

@TheVancedGamer said in Is Ubuntu Touch OTA-2 Focal incompatible with the Fairphone 2?:

y'all need focal for FP2?

there

Pardon my intrusion. Just a few questions. Is the port you are showing/using/building usable? Can you describe what works and what not? Is there a way I (or anyone else with FP2) can test the product of your effort?

Thanks.

@kugiigi said in [Break Your UT] Bigger and better Lomiri and Keyboard???:

I don't know. Manual rotation button?

Yeah, that's the name. I mean, how do I install it? What is the package name for the jerk installer?

jerk install <package>

@kugiigi said in [Break Your UT] Bigger and better Lomiri and Keyboard???:

Which one do you mean? The button that appears when you rotate the device and let's you rotate the shell to that orientation? That's in both xenial and focal.

Yes, I mean that. How is it called? How do you install it? Thanks.

Btw. this one would be a nice addition to the OS, I think.

@kugiigi I watched your Lomiri Plus preview and I very liked all the stuff. Especially the push to rotate feature. I looked at the repo and see, that the rotate thingy is not for xenial, just for focal. Is is not possible due to some limitations? Or some other reason, why not on xenial? Thx.

@Josele13 Hello, I got the same problem first time, the counter emblems were introduced. I think the problem is, that if you have more missed calls (with emblems), the unchecking process (make missed calls as seen and decrease emblem counter) takes too long and you have to wait on the missed tab a little longer. However I didn't wait and deleted all missed calls which removed the counter emblems. After this I had no problems with counters and if I missed a call, just a visit to the missed calls tab makes the missed calls emblem disappear.

I think it is a good feature (counter emblems). Sometimes I clear notifications to not have a green icon on status bar (and no green blinking LED light), but do not reply to messages/calls in that time and the emblems are an indicator for me, that I have to reply.

@lduboeuf wow, it even works with ssh thanx

ssh phablet@ip.addr exec 'mirscreencast -m /run/mir_socket --stdout --cap-interval 2 -s  384 640' | mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=384:h=640:format=rgba -

Note: use your IP address instead of ip.addr in the command

@domubpkm said in MMS redownload and group MMS:

do you mean you need the data with the phone numbers ??

No, I don't need the phone numbers nor any private data. You can edit it out.

But beware, do not edit random numbers from the middle number part. It is a hex dump and some data is there encoded twice.

Let's say, we have a hexdump from logs like this:

00000000  01 06 26 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 2f 76  |..&application/v|

The phone number is encoded in the string +543515924806, but also in 2b 35 34 33 35 31 35 39 32 34 38 30 36 in the same line.

Soif you wan to anonymize the phone number into e.g. +123456789012 then you have to change the middle part into 2b 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 30 31 32 and the resulting hexdump from logs would be:

@domubpkm It doesn't have to be failed group multimedia message. Any from your operator+country will do. There is currently close to zero testing data right now for decoding PDUs, so it would be only good to collect some m-notification.ind for a few countries & operators to get some testing data from real world. It would benefit future development. It is always good to know if you broke some tests with code changes.

So if anyone wants to help, you could send me some of those log chunks after receiving a multimedia message. Beware, there is a phone number encoded inside, so restrain from posting public, if you care for privacy.

I tried to use this m-notification.ind in tests, but it seems the numbers were randomly modified. Can you send me (eg. via PM) the unedited data please, I would like to include it in tests (after anonymizing it a little bit). Thanks.

As much I remember, the group MMS gets received by nuntium with success, nuntium then sends the message to telepathy-ofono and there it gets lost.

I wrote somewhere (I really can't recall where, maybe I just thougt it to myself) that a dirty hotfix would be just handle the group mms as a single mms (with a note somewhere, that it was a group mms before) and it will be at least delivered.

The 0 kB size can be a small error in MNotification.Ind (PDU) decoding, I spotted when poking around nuntium lately. The merge request is a work in progress right now.
