@libremax Thanks for posting! I'm still at Bornhack, and beside the talk, there are so many folks here who are interested in Ubuntu Touch. Now that people know that I'm using it, lots of people want to talk to me about it and ask me questions, and I answer as many as I can.
My show-and-tell device (BQ Aquaris E4.5) goes from hand to hand (yes, we use sanitizer) and people are amazed by the smooth operation, and more when I tell them how old it is.

I'm hoping to be causing a small influx of interest in our OS and community. I'm certainly doing my best to do so!

YESSS
It's working! I have zoom, autofocus and flash! This is the last thing that was missing for me to be able to say that the phone is fully functional under UT!

Excuse me while I dance the happy dance...

Ubuntu Touch:
It's in your hands.

Own
your phone

I'm revising this one to:

Ubuntu Touch:
The phone
you own

This would go great with this 'Yumi loves smartphone' image:

I don't know, I'm not a porter. But it seems likely that there are.

So that's a NO then...

No, it isn't. It's an "I don't know". Again, please read what I wrote and don't put words in my mouth.

The ?! means I am surprised or shocked...

Then it seems you are surprised or shocked most of the time.

Maybe you got used to it step by step over the years ??

No, that can't be it. I've not even had it for half a year.

Have you compared SoT's of your phone against when the phone was new ?

No. I don't really care; it is what it is, and if I don't consider it good enough I will either get a different battery or a different phone.

And now I will take a break from reading your messages and replying to you, because our personal styles aren't very compatible. My own battery needs a recharge, so to speak.

@domubpkm said in How are the projects doing?:

we have never been used to such silence

It just shows how much Dalton did, and that he's being missed. I'm sure we will adjust, but it takes a little time.

@kalle-kruse said in Leaving Ubuntu Touch:

Signal/Axolotl, which has not been working for me for many months now

Yeah, it's very hard for the developers to play catch-up with the changes in Signal. Recently, I've been able to send and receive messages again, add people as contacts, and even send and receive images. Group support is still incomplete, and yes, video chat is missing too.

It's nice of you to come by to say goodbye. Maybe in the future UT will be able to offer you all that you are looking for; if/when that happens, you will always be welcomed back.
Safe travels!

@nero355 said in Life with BQ4.5 after 20.04:

They need to have some kind of plan when it comes to porting to certain phone models for example!
At the moment it seems all a bit random ?!

Well, most of the porting is done by the community, that means by volunteers, to their abilities and at their leisure. You can't really plan for what volunteers all over the world may or may not be willing and able to do; they're not employees after all. In other words, from its very nature, it will always be a bit random.

On a strictly personal title: can you please refrain from telling the team what they need to do, must do or have to do? It sounds so demanding.
I know you probably don't mean it like that but it does come across that way.

I don't think Nexus 5 is capable of running Waydroid. It needs a port that is based on Halium 9 or 10 to run.

@unisuperbox

It might help to realise that the only reason why we will always be disappointed is because we really like the stuff all y'all do. We like it so much that we want more, more than there can possibly be, and so we'll always be disappointed. At the same time, we will always be happy and satisfied with what is already there because it really is a lot, and it's good stuff, and it's amazing that it's even there!

But 'I'm such a happy UT user' does not a good Q&A question make. It's not even a question. So what you hear about are the things that are lacking or imperfect. It's the nature of the whole thing and it's not a sign of anything bad. It means that we care about this project.

Imagine if no one had any questions or requests. That would be a very bad sign.

I think that it's really good to let people know that help is needed and that there are many, many ways to help.
It's also good to let people know that helping will often mean: show some initiative, don't make the team spend two hours on explaining stuff so they can get one hour of help. Figure some things out for yourself.

@mw4jet said in One plus 6T McLaren Supported?:

@moem So it wouldn’t matter what phone UT is on in the US?

That's right, it would not. For now.
The devs and porters of UT are taking this problem seriously, and a solution is something that is considered to have a high priority.

@mw4jet said in One plus 6T McLaren Supported?:

I have Pixel 3a but it’s not network supported so I can’t use it.

That is not a Pixel 3a problem. I believe your problem is that calling in your area (US) relies on VoLTE nowadays. UT does not currently support VoLTE, so the Op6t would not solve that problem.

What will solve the problem is UT getting VoLTE support. And that is not around the corner yet, but it's being worked on and progress is being made.

Hurray! dusts off old Oneplus One

I saw it the best possible way: live on stage! His enthousiasm was tangible. Great job

@thousandtopics All of these seem to be requests, not questions. I think the Q&A is meant for asking about things that you want to know, not for asking for things that you want to have.

@mrt10001 said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 120 This Saturday 30th July At 19:00 UTC:

Maybe the documentation could be clearer

Of course it could! And I'm sure your help would be appreciated.

@odo said in Buying an OP 5T:

it sounds a bit funny in my ears: dismissing G... software but using their hardware.

Personally I would use it happily. They don't build the hardware themselves anyway, and it feels deliciously subversive to free these devices from their clutches.

@odo said in Buying an OP 5T:

Is it a good idea, getting an OP 5t?

I can tell you that I really like mine. Battery life is not remarkable in any way; I have BT and mobile data always on, and it reliably gets me through the day.

@christophershah I don't code, so I did not really join the workshop but I did attend. It looked engaging, and Felix seemed very enthousiastic and knowledgeable. I got to meet @arubislander which was a very cool bonus!

First of all, for the sake of clarity, let's get the terms straight.

Flashing means installing.
Porting means creating the files for installation. If a device has been ported, that means there is a version of UT for it. If it has not, it cannot be flashed; someone needs to make a port first. Otherwise, there is nothing to install/flash.

Your question as I understand it is about flashing, not porting.
