And added a new part "rebirth" (La renaissance), as the last one "The fall" (Le déclin), could make readers think uTouch is dead.

What do you think about it (French and others).

Feel free to tell, if i wrote mistakes, or forgot something (and i probably did).

Feel free to try translate lol : https://www.deepl.com/home

Little update :

I managed to find some icons with transparancy (this way you can change background colors @domubpkm :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ) in /usr/share/icons, i used thoses from suru/apps/scalable, i let them grey for the moment, but color can be changed with Gimp for instance...

I also managed to find some additional URLdispatcher compatible apps, wich are dialer app, openstore app, uTouch settings, contact app.

To add one of them, add an internet widget, and go to "Link URL" field, erase it, and add instead (edited since new findings) :

• document:// for launching document viewer

• dekko:// for Dekko mail app, or mailto://xxx@xxx.xxx for opening new mail form to setted address

• addressbook:// for contacts

• openstore:// for openstore

• settings:// for uTouch settings

• dialer:// for opening dialer, or tel://01.02.03.04.05 for opening dialer with number pre-composed, each number need to be separated by one dot (in this example, it's a french number pattern), "tel" with no number do the same as "dialer".

• message:// also exists for opening messaging app, but it opens it with form to create new message, i did not find a way to open it the same as if you open it from drawer/launcher, but if you add contact name or contact number after it + a third / it will open the contact thread (thanks @domubpkm for the finding) : message:///01.02.03.04.05

@dalharmony said in Android Apps Is A NonStarter:

I don't see how Ubuntu Touch will ever become more than a curiosity without being able to run them.

That's a bit odd to say that. It's like saying "i don't see how GNU/Linux desktop OS will ever become more than a curiosity without being able to run Windows programms"...

You don't choose GNUL to run windows apps or reject it because it can't, you choose it to free yourself from microsoft or apple. Same is UT with google or apple.

@nero355 said in Life with BQ4.5 after 20.04:

Well, I thought the following would be possible :

Keep using the 16.04 LTS release without OS updates/upgrades.
Keep using the apps that will still work with the 16.04 LTS as long as they do...

Basically what I am doing with my current Android based ZUK Z2 Pro phone

That's what i'm going to do, as i also did after canonical drop.
I stayed 2 years with their last OTA using Open Store.
This time i hope by there Pinephone(s) will be full working devices, i'd really prefer open source hardware so no more vendor obsolescence.

https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/arale/

"This device currently offers minimal features, most of the smart functionalities might not work yet. It can be a very nice second device."

I run UT on MX4 from its launch by canonical and it's a perfectly fonctionnal phone.
Only battery percentage is bugging, but as i understood it was also the case under android.
I know very few if not no one will get a MX4 now, but its device page is wrong, please correct it.

@grenudi
So you can post not being aggressive and cursing !
Continue like that and more people will talk with you.

Especially since not everything you say is wrong.

Some people (even devs I guess) know that morph is kind of a problem for instance, some work is done to port firefox, and Librewolf (again, splitted forces), to Ubuntu Touch.

And yes some other apps may be replaced by more common FOSS apps.

But the way you say things, brutal and kind of insulting, is non productive.

Like you noticed, Dev team makes lot of usefull work, and Ubuntu Touch is a fully functional mobile OS since 2015, and thanks to UBports, it continues to be since 2017, and they had to deal with what canonical left them.

There is no other FOSS mobile system that provides such a service ! Maybe pureOS on Librem 5, I don't know, but what I know is it costs 900€ and is old hardware...

Anyway, let talk with respect to the dev team and community, please.

@bocephus
Stop being offensive right now please.

You have your thinking about what should be a GNU/Linux user, ok, well, that's your right.
Now being aggressive on other users just because they think different is not in the ubports community code of conduct.

You have twitter or facebook to do that...

@Lakotaubp said in Volla Phone X23 about to ship:

hard/ tough discussions carried out in a polite manner with respect and tolerance for the other persons views are fine

This.

If you insist calling name and cursing community members, we'll have to pull hammer out...

Here is not a jugement for what you are saying about Hallo Welt way to sell their rebadged gigaset with "only" software work on indiegogo diferently than on their online shop, but the way you say and argue it, and call name members that don't agree with you.

You're not on twitter or reddit here !

You don't need to be so aggressive... :flushed_face:

People here don't earn billions to do what they do, like GAFA do.
They earn nothing, and their only reward is optional donations and user using their work.
If you think some things could be better, tell, gently, sure you could even participate to make it better, it's a community work after all...

Now if you need help, ask, gently, and be patient for answer.

Have you even thought your problem could be hardware issue, sim connectors or sim port connectors, have you tried cleaning it?

@bforpc said in runnig a webserver - no chance:

If ubports should be more then a system for nerds and some special interest groups, then it should have more than the other 2 OS'es.

Before anything else, uTouch is a phone targeted os for people, any kind, that wish to get rid of gafam.

All those people need, 90% i'd say, is reliable basic smarphone features first, and if possible when such is done, reliable advanced smartphone features.

Right now there is lot to do for few devs, so just take on you and wait.

You can't ask ten devs or so, to achieve the same work that hundred of thousand do for the other 2 OS'es in the same time.

@pparent said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:

The enter button does not trigger message send

When I push enter button in a text field I don't expect the text to be sent, but cursor to go to the next line.
So maybe not something to "fix" here ?

@Moktrull said in M'kaay... so I'm looking to aquire a Lenovo M10 HD tablet, just that there are so many models available...:

which is craaaazy expensive for a tablet of any kind...

Indeed.
Maybe you can consider pinetab2, even if it still is beta.
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/pinetab2/

@bestenaizena
Because you need to "ask a question" before.
Then you will be able to mark it solved directly or by choosing a post as the solution.

@Vlad-Nirky
It's Oneplus nord n100 section

@kulrich
Maybe contact volla?
They are main contributors for volla devices after all...
Did you buy it with UBports preinstalled?

@mikirc
You may consider opening an issue on uWolf repo ?

@grenudi
This kind of questions could be asked in the Q and A topic, and then you'd get answered by the developers themselves...

And please use the right sections to post threads.
Also you don't need to make one topic per question.

@gpatel-fr
This issue is for Fairphone 4.
Also, not everyone is in urge having VoLTE working, specially concerning Fairphones devices as the VoLTE issue concerns mostly USA where Fairphones are not sold directly (only from murena and at slightly higher price thanks to the orange agent tariffs).

@XPran said in Desperate guy Here:

ive already install with waydroid helper 2 days ago . The error has pop up after i try to open waydroid after waydroid helper installation in my phone after an hard reset

@XPran
Please listen what we tell you or that thread will end nowhere!

Your phone has a version of Ubuntu Touch way too old, and broken !

You must reinstall a recent version of Ubuntu Touch (24.04) on top of the correct volla os version (based on android 11).
If you bought the device with Ubuntu Touch you shouldn't need to install volla os 11 though.

@XPran
Yes.
Beware you may have to reinstall a specific android version from volla before trying to install Ubuntu Touch.

Edit : you must have android 11 volla OS on your device before installing Ubuntu Touch on it.
