@pepijndevos said in Sony Xperia 10 II:
Does Jolla upstream their drivers and stuff? I'm guessing that would help.
Did you look here?
I dont think you need LOS or TWRP support. The vollaphone guys - I think - did it without as well. You should talk to them.
Furthermore Ubports work on Halium 10 as far as I know while Xperia 10 ii & iii run on Android11.
I would start with the Sony Emma Tool
@Flohack is really porting the Shift 6mq???
That's huge! - at least for me. I look for a successor of my Xperia X (with SFOS) for about a year. Vollaphone, Opo6, FP 3+, Xperia 10 ii but none them really convinced me to retire my Xx.
I never have thought about spending 800 € for phone. For this one I would.
@luksus is there somewhere a donating button I have missed?
@flohack I don't know whats the "right" or more sustainable way.
KDE has dropped halium. Mobian I think just want to support mainline devices. How do they want to engage this issue?
There are some people who work on mainlining the OP6(T). I think this device would be a great device for the next years. SoMainline work on mainlining Sony devices. Wouldn't that be an alternative?
@flohack said in [Porting] Pixel 4a:
every new Android version comes with a lot of changed and new stuff, and it gets harder with every version to make clean builds.
If it gets harder, which I assume you also notice in working/coding hours, is halium sustainable concept for the future?
I am quite curious how many they have sold in total.
I hope the mainline development goes on well. I think the Op6 can be a device a great device even for the next years.
@keneda said in Volla Phone identical to Gigaset GS290?:
And : not everyone has 350€ to put in a phone.
Well, you can buy another device and put UT on it. Why it has to be the GS290?
They have spent time to build VollaOS, an UT and SFOS port. Why do people except often that other people should work for free?
I think it's great (for UBports) that you can a device, which already runs UT - without flashing etc... There are people out there, who don't want to get into that stuff.
And what's actually important for me. I want to have a device which gets supported properly. Most ports never get "finished" or abandoned at some time.
I look for a new device quite some time and for me one of the most important reason for the decision is how well a device will be supported. Therefore, there are at the moment just 2 options. VollaPhone or Xperia II with SFOS.
Its just sad, what people are willing to do, just to save some bucks.
@pavelprosto For me the Python isn't the part I am worried about. There are lots of books about python. What's still vague for me is what comes, when you have written the python file(s)? You get lost very fast ... Qt, qml, pyQt, QtQuick, pyOtherSide ...
I know there are lots of YouTube tutorials about Qt / qml, but what I have noticed is, that there mostly unstructured and for me personally not very helpful.
Your examples on the other hand are very helpful because you can see how - a not very complicated - qml file looks like. When I start with qml I will most likely need them for my app. 
@aarontheissueguy said in Porting my Qml + Python app to Ubports(Beginner):
I have recently started learning Qml and thought it would be fun to make a small App that counts the amount of water you drink per day with a simple GUI.
Hi Aaron,
can I ask you a question? How did you start with qml? I am learning Python as well. I have written a small and very simple mental arithmetic app. Before I go on I think it may be good to write a simple gui for further development. In the book I use for learning python there is a chapter how you write a gui with ktinker, which you can run at your desktop. I wonder if there is a simple guide for beginners about qml as well.
@fla said in KDE Plasma Mobile is dropping Halium:
That feels like a very risky move to me.
Maybe they know something we don't. I didn't read the announcement but a Golem-article that they drop halium, which isn't maybe the worst idea, when you just have limited resources. Most likely it will come down if manufacturers like Pine64 can build a costumer model.
Does it need a SD 888, 2485 GB ram and a 123848 mpx camera? I don't think so. Do you care how much ram your device has, when the OS runs smooth? I have a Xperia Xx with SFOS, which runs quite smooth, as daily driver. When I updated from SFOS 2 to SFOS 3 I was impressed, how much faster/smoother it got.
That showed me how much you can achieve just by optimizing your software. This week I have heard that several Pixel devices share the same camera (sensor?). They just optimized the software.
Therefore, maybe it isn't a bad idea to focus on their own software instead of building every year a new halium layer to support Android devices.
@libremax said in Librem 5 Phone, progress reports:
Shipping of Mass-produced Librem 5 has begun today:
Did someone receive his Librem5 already?
There are 2 things I don't understand.
Firstly, why nearly all distros have chosen phosh as there main environment. Secondly, I thought it was all about building a mainline (kernel) device to reduce a lot for work and now there is a kernel and a camera app extra for the pinephone
In the past, to the best of my knowledge, Purism has always delivered the products ordered.
They may deliver at some point, but they have lied to their backers.
In my opinion it is just low, sending shipping notices to backer instead to be honest just say: "Sorry guys, but we have a serve problem and try to fix it."
@libremax How many times they have said, that they start to ship devices now/soon?
