Hi RJDan,

As I understand it, UT is not intended to be just another operating system for smartphones and mobile devices, but rather to guarantee users their own personal device.
This would mean that users themselves are responsible for what happens on and with their devices.

The basis for this is prepared and provided by the UBports Foundation.
The operating system with simple basic apps.
This basis should be largely supported by data protection and the simple, uncomplicated, even trivial use of a mobile device.

This means that the core programmers cannot take care of the apps that the community wants. And actually, we have been lacking more core programmers for a long time, even though this operating system has so many fans.

This means that it is not enough to simply raise money; the programmer or programmers for an app project would also have to be sought and found.
And that will probably be more difficult than raising money.

But very, very few things are impossible.
Therefore, I wish you every success in achieving your heart's desires.

Greetings
Mario

Hi Charly,

Now I would wait until Noble 24.04-1.0 is released as stable, and then reflash with the UT installer, making sure not to check the data box so that your data is not lost.

It just takes a little patience.

Mario

Hi MrRoughwood,

Congratulations!

And it's a very good decision to start with “stable.”

Hi 0xinit69,

@0xinit69 said in Installation fails on Redmi Note 9 (merlin):

BTW, do i flash that zip file via TWRP? Sorry I'm a noob at mobile linux.
What does this do? I never understood.

When a port is made from a device for the first time, flashing the device is more complicated and time-consuming, which is why we often use the useful TWRP tool.
When the device is later added to the UT Installer, it takes over the necessary tasks that were previously performed by the TWRP tool.

Hi @Charly,

Sorry for confusing your Volla device with the Fairphone:
I was searching the internet for a way to completely shut down a smartphone, as if you were disconnecting the power supply. Like with the old Qualcomm chipsets, where holding down the power button for about 15 to 20 seconds would cause a short triple vibration, triggering a warm start of the device and clearing the processor and RAM.
Then it occurred to me that with the Fairphone, it is possible to remove the battery. I have no idea why I no more realized that you have a Vollaphone and not a Fairphone.

Now to the update problem: can you use the apps that haven't been updated, or do they not run on the device at all?

Hi Charly,

After searching the internet, I would say that the error message (the same for all apps) means that something is still running/working in the processor, so it is not possible to update them.

At the risk of you having already tried the following:
The device should then be switched off and, thanks to Fairphone, the battery removed.
Wait 20 seconds, insert the battery, start the phone, and try the update again.

Hi @Charly,

Have you allready tried the following?

• System settings
  .-About (Info)
  ..-Check for updates
  ...-(Press the gear icon in the top right corner) “Update settings”
  ....- Reinstall all apps

Hi @cherrie,

I think that if one of the desired apps checks the device for bootloader look/unlook status, it will not be possible to install it. This is mainly done by security apps such as login apps or banking apps.

Please note that this is my opinion, and it has only been tested on one device with E-OS.

@ the readers

By the way, in this context: Warning message after unlocking the bootloader.

Although most people would disagree with the following statement, I would like to publish this comment.
In our market economy, warnings from manufacturers are primarily legal safeguards and only secondarily warnings to consumers.
So don't panic as long as you know what you are doing and why you are doing something that contravenes the warning.
=> Please note (my safeguard ) It's your own fault, it may cost you something if you do it!

Nevertheless, have fun tinkering with your devices.

Hello UT users,

While surfing the web, I came across this website, and I think it could be useful when searching for devices and/or network operators.

Hi @saveurlinux,

The Ladybird browser does not appear to be fully developed yet.

The Morph browser, on the other hand, is complete, but we do not yet have enough programmers to integrate the necessary operating components.

Therefore, I believe there is a lack of available expertise, i.e., a sufficient number of workers.

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.

Greetings Mario

Hi @domubpkm,

You will find the symbol on the English keyboard above the zero key. You have to stay on the zero key.

Best regards
Mario

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

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.

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.

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 @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 >.

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.

Greetings Mario
