Hello everyone, my name is kuailexs and I come from Sichuan, China.

I'm very interested in ubuntu touch, and I've been looking at ubuntu touch since 2017.

In 2017, I tried to port ubuntu touch to the Mi 4 and was very happy when Ubuntu touch launched successfully on the Mi 4.

Last year I tried switching the Meizu pro5 port to use halium7. It was not finished due to too little spare time.

Recently I was trying to upgrade Mi 6 port to Ubuntu touch 20.04. And I have been following up the Chinese translation work of docs.ubports.com recently.

How to submit device-tarball to the system-image.ubports.com website？
What issues must be resolved before submission?

for xiaomi 4 cancro :

Boot - OK
Bluetooth
Camera
Cellular Radio-OK
GPS - OK
Graphics - OK
Resume
Rotation - OK
Sound - OK
Touch - OK
Wifi - OK
anbox-kernel-OK

The PR is merged.
now we need system-image channels and install channels.

Today ：

Bluetooth - OK
Resume - OK

Try to upgrade the port of Meizu PRO 5 using Halium 7.1

Maybe, Can refer to the implementation of Sailfish OS.
Write a plugin instead of ofono-vendor-qti-radio-plugin.
On qcom based devices use vendor.qti.hardware.radio.ims

I'm testing VoLTE support on the Mi 6。
A halium-9 based device。
I believe it will be successful。

in china , we need alipay/wechat/qq and Some games.
But these don't have a ubuntu touch app .
They won't develop native applications for ubuntu touch until it becomes widespread.
And only if you have a lot of users possible they be able to provide an Application Programming Interface for you to develop the application,And the application cannot be open source

use this : https://github.com/cancro-ubt,
base on ubp-5.1 branch, it can make ubuntu touch boot, look this : http://www.miui.com/thread-12796848-1-1.html.

in https://github.com/halium-cancro ,No progress for ubuntu touch，it only boot plasma mobile now。

@beyolf said in Status of VoLTE (Voice over LTE 4G) implementation?:

@kuailexs

Hey excuse me for the late response. I didn't had the opportunity to work on UT recently, because of some real life stuff, but now I am trying to catch up. When I have some info to share I will post it here.

plug-in only does some status and action commands transparent transmission, there is no protocol related implementation, VoLTE protocol support is all in vendor.qti.hardware.radio.ims. Implementing this plug-in is relatively easy.

Hey @kuailexs why is this device not in the supported list?

The test hasn't been completed yet.

Currently, only the status has been detected, but it cannot be used

As a mature and great community, these should not be overly restricted.

@arubislander said in Update port for Ubuntu Touch 20.04 on Xiaomi Mi 6:

@kuailexs Same goes for you :-). But thanks for answering the question.

@arubislander Updated.

However, as a mature and great community, these should not be overly restricted.

If you have a lot of free time.
It is suggested that you think about how to optimize the ubuntu touch system better.

@dlin rebuild kernel source ： https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android9/xiaomi-mi-6/kernel-xiaomi-sagit
use this Script ： https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android9/xiaomi-mi-6/xiaomi-sagit/-/blob/master/build.sh

It is currently hard-coded.

https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/blob/master/src/core/helpers/api.js#L25

It is suggested to add the configuration of mirror resources. To reduce installation failures caused by the network.

During the installation process, some resource files on github will be used, and they often fail to be downloaded in China.

I made a mirror site. But it is not convenient to use.

Can you add multi-language support to ubports-installer?
Some of us like ubuntu touch but can't read English.

The PR is merged.
now we need system-image channels and install channels.
