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).

@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.
@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...
@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.
You don't need to be so aggressive... 
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?
Little update :
I managed to find some icons with transparancy (this way you can change background colors @domubpkm 
) 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

"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.
@stanwood said in Open Ubuntu Touch to all Android applications !:
In the future, the kernel will be gradually extended to other Halium 9 and 10 devices.
Next step after this one, open all UBports supported devices to all Android applications ?
@hakan802
Your mom phone has an ongoing UT port for it, but not daily usable :
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/angelica/
@hakan802
No, your device is not supported, there is no Ubuntu Touch operating system port for it for now.
You'll have to wait for someone to do this port, or do it yourself, not talking about android version that is another topic...
@hakan802
Ok really need some fix here...
Ehhh, nothing related to android 12 lol.
@hakan802
No, can you still post on this topic i ask ?
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8019/request-for-my-device-for-ubport-pls/6
@hakan802
Can you post in your topic that was moved into the off topic section ?
@hakan802
Well, maybe some user rights issue.
@Lakotaubp can you check this ?
@hakan802
Ok so you want to install Ubuntu Touch on your device that for now runs android ?
If your device is not already supported, then you'll have to wait untill it is, there is no "request" procedure here, that's not how it works for a port to be done for a device.
See there for supported device :
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/?pk_vid=1c341937363e65dc1660123564d321d6
And by the way, Waydroid and Ubuntu Touch are two separate things, even if waydroid can run ON Ubuntu Touch.
@hakan802
I don't really understand what's the subject of your topic here ?
@dtarrant
First see this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm_EDL_mode
Best (safer) chance would be to use Linux tool by Andersson : https://github.com/andersson/qdl
But yes, it seems to be way harder than with mediatek chips as qualcomm did not release any official tool...
I also found those :
https://repairmymobile.co/flash/qfil-tool-download/
https://qfiltool.com/
https://qpsttool.com/
But none of those are official from qualcomm, and i can't say that there is no risk using those, as www is a jungle full of predators lol.
Edit : didn't see the first time but on the wiki, there is this link that maybe is safer than the stricked three others, and could free your brick ^^
https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qpst-flash-tool-download-usage-guide/#what-is-qpst-tool
Again, not "officialy" from qualcomm.
@alyosha
2G and 3G drop by providers in USA, and VoLTE not working on UT for now, is device agnostic.
