Last statement about Brax3 and UT from Plamen (April 7 2026) : "Ubuntu Touch is with the status of a community port at the moment. It’s entirely up to the community to progress on fixing issues. We don’t have the resource to maintain Ubuntu in house at the moment. We are offering support to the maintainers but we’re still in the progress to put together some infrastructure before we can empower a meaningful progress."

But it's better to discuss about Brax3 here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10607/brax3-the-mysterious

@steffend I understand now why my search for Pixel9a on the forum didn't get anything, it because of the space... and that's why I don't include it to make searching easier.

open_slate April update (published yesterday), an excerpt from the message:

"Good news:
Ubuntu Touch (tablet-optimized) will be ported and supported on open_slate in collaboration with UBports"

The full message:
https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/braxtechnologies/open_slate/updates/4

@Moem Yes, and actually I think a small parcel from the foundation for Alfred might be a good idea .

An announcement from https://chaos.social/@sd/116510612562459125 :
"I made the initial code for #ubuntutouch for the Pixel 9a public now: https://git.deusch.me/ubports/device-google-tegu

The repository has instructions for flashing. But be aware that this is very experimental and not ready for daily use. Also again the disclaimer that AI was involved and a lot of the patches are for sure not done the proper way. You’ve been warned!"

A mature port for Pixel9a would be amazing because this device include an USB Type-C 3.1 port, so using UT as a desktop with a wired connection to an external screen is possible.

Although it isn’t highlighted in DeltaTouch’s description on the OpenStore (https://open-store.io/app/deltatouch.lotharketterer) DeltaTouch is listed among the apps compatible with webxdc (https://webxdc.org) which provide "Secure mini apps for chats, Play games or collaborate, privately".

Does anyone use these mini apps?

Hi. I got my Volla now for some hours. I'm working with Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) for >10 years now, but I cannot achieve anything on this system.

Hello Lalle, I think the answers provided by UT FAQ 8 (https://t.me/UTFAQ/10) may be useful for you:

"8. Can I use apt on Ubuntu Touch?
yesn't [yes and no]. Ubuntu Touch is built with privacy, reliability and stability accross a wide range of devices in mind. It is crucial that the developers are able to quickly reproduce and fix bugs across devices to ensure no faulty update ever makes it to the stable channel on any device, ever. To achieve this the rootfs is read-only.

This allows UBports to provide image based updates. When you run an OTA update it replaces the read-only part of the operating system. Userdata is not a part of that, so you don't lose that or installed apps. But apt is not designed for a read-only rootfs, so as a result it will attempt to write to the read-only portion of the operating system. While you can remount your rootfs as read-write, because apt is writing into a normally read-only part of the system, an OTA update can partially overwrite the changes apt made. This can result in a broken system. So using apt essentially means you are running your own fork of Ubuntu Touch.

You can install apps from the OpenStore app. How to get updates is described in our usage channel.

there are other package managers that are made to work with a readonly rootfs, current working examples include snap and crackle (https://github.com/tuxecure/crackle)."

Je dis ça car ces infos intéressent peut-être donc des non-francophones

Malheureusement y'a peu de chances que les non francophones viennent lire la section frenchy

S'ils ne trouvent pas d'autres messages concernant BlaBlaCar, je crois que certains pourraient bien faire l'effort d'utiliser un traducteur en ligne.

C'est le problème avec les sections dédiées à d'autres langues sur n'importe-quel forum : la dilution des infos.

C'est un compromis mais il est bon de faciliter l'accès à qui n'oseraient pas poser une question autrement que dans sa langue natale.

Bonjour,

Salut

Par exemple, pour se faire, j'ai acquis d'occasion une tablette Lenovo M10 2nd gen, ayant vu sur la page matériel compatible d'UB Touch que celle-ci pouvait fonctionner sans probléme. Une fois acquise et lancé dans la réinstallation du système je me suis aperçu, assez vite malheureusement, que le modèle indiqué sur la page était la X306F/L et que la mienne est une X606F.... bonheur

Il existe un portage d'UT (Ubuntu Touch) pour la X606F/X mais il n'est plus trop actif semble-t-il.
Plus d'informations ici :
https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android9/lenovo-tab-m10-fhd-plus/lenovo-x606

Arrivé à ce stade de ma quête une foultitude de question se pose à moi et je me permet donc de venir vous les poser :
1- Il y a t'il des sites ou structures asso vers qui je pourrais me rapprocher afin de pouvoir échanger sur cette idée de faire renaître du vieux matériel mobile, afin de ne pas encombrer des pages de forum inutilement pour ça?

Ça n'encombre pas ici tant qu'il s'agit d'utiliser Ubuntu Touch ou bien Lomiri, l'environnement graphique utilisé par UT qui est également utilisable avec d'autres systèmes Linux.

2- Je souhaiterai pouvoir comprendre le processus de fonctionnement de ces appareils afin de pouvoir saisir également les différentes étapes qui permettrait de pouvoir faire ce genre d'adaptation avec tout types de d'appareil mobile de toute marque, si la possibilité existe bien entendu, ne sachant pas trop par où commencer ma recherche... ayant déjà passé pas mal de temps dans les méandres de la toile sans trop trop de succés... par exemple pour adaptater UB Touch sur ma tablette...

Le processus pour porter UT sur un matériel particulier est décrit dans la documentation :
https://docs.ubports.com/fr/latest/porting/introduction/index.html

À noter que la traduction de la documentation en français est en cours donc une partie n'est pas encore traduite et le texte est alors en anglais.

@CiberSheep I believe it's a known issue for a while:

@libremax I end up wondering if AI isn't interfering with spam !

I don't know, but in any case, without moderation, the situation keeps getting worse to the point that I'm going to stop visiting the forum for a while.
Fortunately, on the UBports Telegram channels, such behavior isn't possible because it's immediately addressed.

@oldbutndy said:

I apologize.

No need to

I replied yesterday to a post that might have had negative reputation (I don't remember), because I did not think about trolls.

Unfortunately you were no the only one and it keeps going on today.

That's why I post this topic.
To try to mitigate this kind of "spam/troll" by warning about negative reputation.

@gpatel-fr Yes, it's a standard advice but we do not respect it in the last months and mostly because people seems not to detect "troll".
It's why I suggested a method quick and easy to detect and counter it adapted to our forum functionality around reputation scores.

@kugiigi Not precisely, it's a Mobian fork.

For several months now, we have observed this method in action, which primarily involves:

1. A single user regularly creating new threads, often with AI-generated content, using intriguing or provocative titles, all with the same subject or goal: to question the features of UT (Lomiri, Mir, Halium, etc.) and promote alternative projects (PostmarketOS, Mobian, mainline kernel, upstream development, etc.).
2. Replying to topics opened by other users that are completely unrelated by including a link to these propaganda topics.
3. Replying to one’s own posts to keep the propaganda at the top of the list.

Unfortunately, this deviant behavior is currently slipping past moderation (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12116/moderation-issue-with-this-forum) .

Until forum moderation adapts to this type of behavior, the solution is:

1. Never reply to these topics or messages so as not to give them visibility
2. Report these topics and replies as problematic to moderation in the hope that they will address the issue

A tip for staying vigilant about these problematic topics and messages
If a topic, reply, or user has a negative (or even very negative) reputation, you should be wary and avoid replying until you’ve made sure it isn’t part of this type of spamming method (or an other type).

@grenudi said:

The roadmap (ubports DOT com/lomiri-roadmap) covers Lomiri's packaging journey into Debian —
historical milestones since 2020 and two vague estimates for Lomiri on Debian desktop.
There is no roadmap for Ubuntu Touch itself. No page that says "here is where the OS
stands, here is what we are working toward." It does not exist.

Of course it exists: there are two tabs on this page, https://ubports.com/lomiri-roadmap one tab for Debian and one tab for Ubuntu Touch.
And so it easy to find this content about Ubuntu Touch in the coming months:

Q1 2026
(estimated)
Morph Browser upgrade
The Qt6 upgrade gets kicked off by upgrading the QtWebEngine in Ubuntu Touch, getting the Morph Browser up-to-date and compatible with modern web standards.

Q2 2026
(estimated)
Full Qt6 Migration
The internal codebase catches up to Debian upstream, finally modernizing Ubuntu Touch and getting ever closer to total convergence.

Q2 2026
(estimated)
Upgrading to Mir 2.x
Internally, Lomiri on Ubuntu Touch still runs on an older version of Mir. This upgrade finally allows for Mir's new optimizations to be possible on Ubuntu Touch and gets the codebase ready to become one with Debian.

Dear Moderators,

It appears that this forum has a flaw in the way it is moderated, and that this flaw is being exploited lastely.

Indeed, it is generally not allowed in a forum for a single individual to be able to in a few months to started ten or so threads on the same topic (with different titles).

Moreover, when this approach is intended to ensure that their negative views on the Ubuntu Touch project remain prominently displayed (and naively discussed) at the top of the forum to maximize visibility.

By trying too hard to be accommodating and open to discussion, we end up enabling and encouraging this abusive behavior.

I hope moderation can be improved to curb this problem.
(In the meantime, everyone can help by staying alert and following these guidelines:
