Hi @domubpkm,

Hi @jojumaxx,

Thank you for having the courage to talk about things (convergence), but until now I thought that the core developers were already working on all the urgent things and only talked about what they found interesting in their Q&A shows. But what always bothered me (maybe like you) was that they don't always communicate honestly what and how much they are working on, or maybe nobody really has an overview.

For me, the rescue from the impending exit came with the porting of the Oneplus Nord N100.
I was able to buy an unused device (‘brand new’) for just CHF 120, and now I have a smartphone that can make calls and data traffic (UMTS/3G & LTE/4G => without VoLTE), make hands-free calls (Bluetooth) in the car, and SMS (unfortunately MMS has been dropped in Switzerland), take photos and listen to music. What else I will try out is: Chatapp Delta chat, navigation app and other things.

The chat is not important for me, however, as I can make phone calls, because I am one of those older people who have never realised why people nowadays ‘text’ instead of making phone calls (breaking records in terms of speed on such a stupid thing as a touchscreen) or, even worse, send audio messages. :winking_face:

So my horse is not dead yet. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hi @MrT10001,

Good news! Exactly, Stabil OTA 5 is now also available for this device.

Thank you very much for your help, you are indeed a great help in this forum, because you are friendly, helpful, efficient, not work-shy and also professional in your range. :clapping_hands_light_skin_tone:

I had stuck to the device page because it is always kept so high by the forum moderators. Unfortunately (as it turns out) this very page is rarely up to date, which is a bit embarrassing.

A little teasing is a must. :winking_face:

Best wishes to all you dear ones out there
Mario :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

Hi,
We repeatedly receive requests in the forum to port a device that has not yet been ported.
The communication option via Telegram chat does not always seem to be desired, but we offer it as the “only” one.

Couldn't we also create a group UBports Porting in the forum, where the most active portinghelper members (from the 1810) present themselves and name their skills, like rootfs, Halium, Vendor Blobs, or whatever?

It certainly wouldn't replace joining Telegram, but it might indicate how difficult such a port will be, and for the interested would-be porter-career comrades, make a learn and read section possible.

The status now, is seriously, kind of a secret pomposity, if you are not ready to register with Telegram yet. Also because you can't just poke around a bit.

Hi @James-T,
I also suspect the socket on the appliance. This usually just needs to be cleaned, for example with a wooden toothpick. If this only improves things for a short time, I would also replace the socket.

Hi @Appointed ,

The answer to the forum post question is <NO>. :double_exclamation_mark:

Because we only guarantee the installation method shown on the device page.
You will also get the quickest help from the forum if you follow it. :ok_hand_light_skin_tone:

Of course, anyone can try a new path here if they have the necessary knowledge and patience. :winking_face:

The forum post can now be set as solved, thank you very much. :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

Hi @zubozrout and @ktatar156,

Despite all the arguments that your and also the above posts contain, which for me contain nothing but conveniences, it in no way gives you permission to express yourself so condescendingly about the work of such a small group of people who do great things here.
And please remember that you are not the only ones, it happens every 3 to 7 weeks that we have to endure such complaints here.

Because for the amenities you are looking for, there is also eOS and others.

Sorry, but I had to give myself breathing room, because my device is first and foremost; simply a phone, over which I am the <master/woman)>. And for that I love the makers and helpers of Ubports with their OS Ubuntu Touch.

With love Mario :unamused_face:

Hi @Moktrull,

The Sony Xperia 10 II is a so-called AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and therefore suitable for a port for the UbuntuTouch OS.

In the important websites for such a port, the device is listed with the code name <seine>.

The following Android ports can be made possible: 10 / 11 / 12.

It is advisable to get in touch with our porting community < https://t.me/ubports_porting >.

@zbr Welcome zbr,
yes there is still hope.

Try a total reboot by pressing and holding the power button until the device vibrates 3 times in quick succession.
The device should always have enough 'juice' in the battery.

@c4pp4
Hello c4pp4,
so, my device has been running with this customization for almost a week now.
Still, I can't say yet if it causes any improvement in battery life.
But for sure I can confirm that it does not contribute to any degradation.
Thank you again.

Hi @yazm895,

In addition to thanking the helper, you can also use "^"- button to vote or score the answers or hints that are important to you, so that others can see where it helped you to make progress.

Hi @MrT10001,

The question was about the keyboard layout of <UT keyboard>, I answered that.
For the computer keyboard layouts, well, there are more than I know, so you can find mine under the following link search for Swiss (German, French, Italian, Romansh), Liechtenstein, Luxembourg.

Hi @Rondarius,
Just tried it out and it works flawlessly.
Thank you very much.

Hi @arubislander,
I can already roughly imagine that, and with the search function in our forum, it would still not be very helpful.
So it would have to be processed, so a lot of work for someone.
It's a shame, because it would need a serious AI and not just a program that knows about probability calculations.

Greetings Mario

Hi @bdomecq,
You are unsure about glue labeled BE2012, I can understand that.
My box is labeled BE2013, and I was too, but after my research, I came across this website, and with a little courage and the experience I had made with the Sony Xperia (my previous device), the Oneplus Nord N100 runs with Ubuntu Touch.

Edited: Created the link to the website, it was somehow lost, sorry.

So, I wish you good luck, because MrT10001 instructions will lead you to UT.

Sorry guys,
for my taste, the Brax3 web pages (braxtech.net & indiegogo.com) use way too many scripts and cookies (also from google) to display any decent information at all.
I miss the promised <the most privacy-friendly smartphone> and <open-sourced> idea - all of them. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: :unamused_face:

By the way, I'm always online with NoScript.
Seems very unserious to me. :winking_face:
Just my opinion.

Hi @thedeafenguy,

So well, you want to get help from a forum that is not responsible, but you are not willing to fully inform people.
Since this forum is about UT, people wanting help you need more info than people on the Fairphone forum, and I still think they could be helped more there.
That means as much info as possible, like, do you have the device first hand, what OS and version was on the device before you got the feeling I could try a bit to put another OS on it. Did you install UT on the device exactly as instructed by the porter? Did UT run flawlessly afterwards? And so on ...

Why don't you ask the FP forum for advice?

So, I don't have a Fairphone or any Fairphone experience, but from what I understand, you must definitely have a newer Fairphone Android OS than what you were using before you installed UT.

And very importantly, after flashing and before booting the device, you should only boot into the bootloader so that you can check the <flag> fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability.
This value should be 1.

After booting the operating system, you should first carry out all other available updates.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend locking the bootloader, as I simply have no experience with this.

Greetings Mario
