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).

@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.
@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 !
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
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?

"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.
@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.
@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
Devices subforum is Ubuntu Touch versions agnostic I believe. Only the fact a device reachs UBports installer is determining if I remember correctly.
Plus, lately, that's not the only user to have problems with posting permissions in all the subforums that are normally accessible by members. Maybe something to investigate, whoever rules the forums.
@Charly said in Please add the x23 in the subforum for volla devices:
I currently only have write permissions for two categories (Focal and I think waydroid or libertine)?
@Lakotaubp can you do something?
@Aloys said in Mobile Data Not Working:
how do you delete APN settings when you have no SIM card? in that case, the cellular menu is empty, it only says "no sim card".
Try with SIM in then, reset all APN, power off, power on.
@domubpkm
We are OT here.
To make it short, most of those are used batteries, the rare pristine ones come from loooong sheltering, and that make them almost dead. This is a dead end device now. Even my N5, I bought a polarcell new one, last hardly a day with doing almost nothing, long sheltered battery there also.
@ATTESA
I share mine, even if I used telegram only couple times.
Never had more spam than before sharing it with them.
@ATTESA
Did you try UBports telegram for help ?
You can only download Ubuntu Touch "images" inside UBports installer.
And only actual versions, not previous ones.
I'm not a Dev so I'll explain with my knowledge and words, may not be 100% accurate, but not far from reality :
Old ("legacy") devices like MX4, where maintened by the UBports guys after canonical drop (2017), they have lot of work with the OS and have others smartphones to work on. Thanks to them we could keep on those device untill now.
I know that, but by experience those batteries are coming almost dead as those are li-po long stored. I ordered one few years ago, it almost blowed after some month of use (I saw it inflated my phone so I stopped using it, poor battery life anyway, not better as my old genuine ones).
Yes they are expensive, but you can't compete with companies that sell millions smartphones a month (from beginning, fairphone sold less than 500K smartphones, all models), doing long lasting software support on self designed repairable phones. Buying a fairphone 5 today means official software (android) updates and hardware parts untill 2031 minimum, so using it with Ubuntu Touch (when out for FP5) means potentially even more.
Anyway if you can't afford pristine or used Fairphones, like said, there are good 20.04 supported phones at better prices.

You should hide personal data such as phone numbers when putting screenshots on the internet.
