I think I didn't explain myself correctly XD
I was thinking in adding a new service Provider that is not in the system.

Maybe here:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-online-accounts/-/tree/main/example++s

ah, ok, apparently notes app is the only app that install providers, services etc... We know that it doesn't work anymore, but that gives the idea :

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/src/account-plugin/data/providers/evernote.provider.in?ref_type=heads

The provider and service are stored under ~/.local/share/accounts, it is done by the click hook that we can see here:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/manifest.json.in?ref_type=heads#L14

For an app to declare the usage of a service, it has to be declared like this : https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/notes.ubports_notes.application?ref_type=heads

Hope that helps

did you reported the issue to the porter ?.
i personaly have some issues on FP4 regrding network too:
e.g Noticed that QNetworkConfigurationManager doesn't report isOnline properly

@Timespansoul

I think someone already reported such weird issue, or maybe it was already you on Telegram ?
Can you precise your OS version and device ?
Just noticed that i have sometimes issue with Ios users, but not the same way

Updates 2026-04-21

On 24.04.2.x, we are able to install the new backend for testing!

This is a bit early in the process, but got my address book, and contacts from Nextcloud working.
The first shot is only for address-book-app and carddav ( google will wait :)), others components are still in WIP.
We had to wait for the big pending work of synchronizing from debian and ubuntu touch for some components.

The next goal is to ship it in the 24.04.2.x image so that it is more widely and easily tested.
I will make an announcement hopefully soon-ish.

The issue board is here before it will land in 24.04.2.x:
https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/-/boards/10037857?label_name[]=Topic%3A+qtcontacts-sqlite

This will not be possible as a confined app.
You will need a background service that listen to incoming sms and forward it.
I'm not sure if such app can be allowed in the openstore, but here is a few things to know.

First create your background service, it could be in standard python if you are familiar with.
Ofono is the service that emit notifications when new incoming sms, it uses dbus.
api can be found here:
https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/blob/master/doc/messagemanager-api.txt (old repository but sending and receiving sms still like that )

AI can help you with a minimal script.

then when your service seems to work, you have to create all the plumbery to install/remove/run it, you can find an example with battery-saver app: https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf/battery-saver/

Updates 2026-03-17

After being ported to debian since last year, the new backend & carddav integration is in preparation for utnext.
It may takes some times to properly package things but i don't think that some weeks is a lot since this feature is expected by some since 10 years

i'll let you know

Bluetooth contact sync will still be missing.

What do you mean by " I only received the clear-signal but not the alert-message itself." ?

Like Ratchanan reported on the Volla 22, the "presidential alert" did not worked ( it should not needed to be subscribed in theory )

Hello everyone,

I figured I would make videos about Ubuntu Touch, to contribute spreading the word.

I'm thinking about making videos to present my applications, reviews/demonstration/tests of the system in general, and possibly videos where I explain why I'm using Ubuntu Touch, and how I got to it.

Here is my first video presenting the application Maps exporter:

English version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR0eqz7wpyM
French version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOJkiSa28Ss

This is still quite experimental so if you have feedback on how to improve the videos for the next time feel free to do so!

Congrats for this iniitiative

@lduboeuf thanks. it is done.
i will reporting after usage.

After 4 hours : Clearly better. even with whatsnews.
After 24 hours : the probleme seems solved. thanks @lduboeuf !

I had a crash 3 times yesterday ( teleport and/or messaging-app)... i'm testing on 24.04.2 first and will update 24.04.1.x branch afterward, i will let you know

OK, ready, please update ( sudo ubports-qa update ) after being with last daily version.

I can't remember, but it is still possible to define new kinds of accounts to be included in the Accounts in the system (adding to nextCloud, etc)?

It should yes, i think UBsync do that, but seems confined:
https://open-store.io/app/ubsync

If anyone reading here and is on daily 24.04.1.x; please test:

sudo ubports-qa install 24.04-1.x_-_PR_lomiri-keyboard_248

If you are on a limited partition device, i recommend doing this before:
sudo mount -t tmpfs none /var/cache/apt
sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /var/lib/apt/lists

For 24.04.2.x:
sudo ubports-qa install 24.04-2.x_-_PR_lomiri-keyboard_247

We noticed that having several keyboard layout make the crash happen more frequently, also it seems related to the predictive engine ( word suggestions ) , of course it has to be installed in the long run to make sure it doesn"t make any regression at least.

I try to re-install the 24.04-1.2.

@gpatel-fr I also have a Radicale server and UBPorts agenda syncs well with it (both ways) as long as I do not reboot the phone after connecting to the caldav server (i.e. creating the remote caldav account). On subsequent boots, calendars no longer sync; I need to delete the remote caldav account on the phone and recreate it for syncing to work again. It could just be a problem with storing the password (I find it somewhat surprising that once it's created, it's not possible to change the remote account password, AFAICT), but I have not investigated it more than that. And, yes, it's a pain...

oops forgot to mention the forum post about it: ( arf can't paste the link here), look into category OS->Call for testing: calendar-app)

@DJac hmm i think it is device specific, in the past there were the same issue on abother one

On which device ?.
I thought it was fixed, but apparently not

@Charly said in Poor sound quality in phonecalls:

@Kjetil

Hello,
I also have the feeling that the call quality is not good. What you say would explain that.

I have a fairly modern mobile phone, a Volla X23.

I've been testing VoLTE for a while now. As expected, the voice quality is better. Unfortunately, Volte uses a lot of battery.

Weird i've heard the contrary ( at least when idle but can't remember the device )

Greetings

@DJac said in unstable keyboard:

Since i switch on 24.04 (stable).
in my daily usadge, i see that the keyboard is 'unstable' (he popout sometimes). it appends when i switch between letters/numbers, but not anytime.
Is it a provisory probleme ? : i read that it woold be better with qt6 (? - i don't understand the details of that)

It happens more frequently for me since 24.04, was rare on 20.04, frequent on 16.04, but it tends to happen less with the current build. This is something related to the prediction engine ( the thing that give some suggestions when typing ), i've tried to dig it a bit, but i'm afraid it is too low level for me, and giving the fact that it is random, very hard to tackle.
