Thanks for your reply. That is quite reasonable. Although the reason I wish to try out the other options is since I would consider buying a jolla C2, but I definitely want to try out before making a purchase with no Ubuntu touch option.

Hello everyone,

I have decided to mess around with my Volla Phone a little bit, and would liketo try out the other three operating systems available in the ubports installer. I would like to ask if anyone has done it before to change the system from Ubuntu Touth to sailfish OS for example. Is the change smooth from one os to the other, are there some steps in the middle that is required before installing one or the other, and also is it easily revertable from Sailfish or Droidian to UT. I could not find muck arount the internet about this kind of stuff, and would not like to brick my phone while it is still my daily driver.

Thanks in advance for any answer, advice, or experience shared.

@ubuntutouchluvr audio calls unfortunatelly you can't make yet, only text or voice messages

@ubuntutouchluvr for UT Teleports is the telegram app. You can sign in with your registered phone number, it works like as if it was an e-mail address, you don't need the sim card to be in the device. You don't need to do anything in the terminal.

@mihael There's a data roaming setting in system settings»mobile. Have you checked it?

@lakotaubp Thank you very much! I'll be waiting for now than.

@lakotaubp Thank you! I have been translating at UBports weblate the core apps (and pretty much anything that is under UBports project, and accassable for me) to Hungarian. Lundrin is my username there since I'm logged in there through github.

Hi! So some sort of update is that there is none still. Got a reply about a month later, that it's quite busy over there, but they are working on it, this was in april if I recall it well. While I understand all that, I was quite busy too, but it has been several months, and I have some spare time on my hands for now. Is there anything else, I could reach out to speed things up a bit?

Hi!
I've managed to see back my terminal commands, when i downloaded.
The first command should be

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

(you wrote this in the wrong order)
The second

apt update

And the third

apt install waydroid -y

This worked for me, but you can also try the waydroid helper app in the openstore, that has an install feature.
But carefull, don't brick your phone with either solutions
Regards, Lundrin

Hi everyone!
Today's a sad day for me, I've just broke my Volla Phone's screen. I'm now sitting here looking through my options, and that's where I'd like to ask this great community if anyone, who got in to this unfortunate situation before (or even if not, but knows), and knows where/how to get a replacement screen for an affordable price.
Thanks in advance for any helpfull replies!
Regards!

@peter-gamma Hi!
1, I did manage to install libreoffice through libertine container (was the easiest part though)
2, I really would have liked to ude it on my phone, but I have given up long ago
3, I tried writer and calc, with touch forget ever using it, with a bluetooth keyboard and a magnifying glass it's managable, but doesn't worth it. There are much better solutions for viewing docs like document wiewer, and for writer LightP Word processor, though i just use vim in terminal, for text files, or the notes app for shorter ones
4, i don't know about bug reporting, but you wouldn't get much out of it since this isn't supported by either side
Hope it answers your questions sufficiently

@keneda
Not yet, i'm sending it it right now, thanks.

@keneda
On the ubports weblate, if that's what you mean.

Hi!
I have been translating most of the untranslated parts of UT to hungarian in the last month, but some parts of the system (understandably) are restricted. How can I get (if I can) verifyed to get acces to the rest of the translatable things?
Regards, Lundrin.

@davealbiston I have updated my volla phone day one to ota22, haven't experienced any issue, not even with bluetooth. I think it's safe to go.

Ps: if anything goes amiss, you can reset your phone with ubports installer from your computer (i never had to use it yet though).

@manland Thank you very much for your work, this is a truely awsome app

@pingguo8668 @AppLee correct me is i'm wrong, but can't you run .deb files in a libertine container?

@kristatos unfortunatelly the noch-hax never resolved the nich problem with the icons (not for me at least), only the corners and the selectable options positions. Not sure, if the covered icons have ever been solved yet

@nero355

If less choice means better and more development of Native Apps and Applications then I would say that is the better choice!

But since nobody is held back from making native apps by having waydroid here, I still don't see the reason. I mean if waydroid would sease to exist tomorrow, there still wouldn't be more apps on openstore.

But what if beeing inviting isn't possible at the moment because of the attitude of most people in general ?!

Yes, it is possible. Not in huge numbers, but there are people, who for this reason or that would be interested. And even if it werent, why would it hurt you, if there's a quick noob friendly welcome tutorial only for the possybility? The original purpose of this thread was that. if someone with zero knowlage would just get here, look around, and wouldn't even know where to start, they would rather not at all.

Also you've told very much about your daily use of your phone, which is fine, but it still isn't the only way to use it. some people need banking applications, some only want to use discord. To alvays have two phones at you is uncomfortable and not practical for most people, especially if it is only to preserve some thinked up purity of UT or idk. I need only one android app, and it's shure as hell i won't have a second phone for that on me.

Also ideologies aside, how would a third party app, which you dont have to install ruin the os?

@nero355 if you don't ever need to use any android or windows apps, than I honestly envy you. For me personally it's a much better compromise to emulate those few apps that i need from those abhorrent os-es on one that i like, than run them for those few apps, and miss out everything else which UT or desktop linux distros posess. You don't need tu use waydroid, but i don't think that the option that it is there is bad. The more options is the better, there's no scenario in my mind, where less choise is better. And yes, currently we are a very small niche community, but that doesn-t mean we should be uninviting to regular andy. And throughout this post you can see that even in this small community peoples opinion can vary, some want android apps, some want native, some want convergence, some better browsing experience etc (just the top of my head). Theres no one and only true and righteous way, and only that, and others are not idiot, simply because they would like different things. The best would be to have all, and to have a choice which to use (i see that is currently not possible, but lets not belitle and insult the other for having a different feature in mind, than oneself)
