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...

When I first saw the UT terminal, I was absolutely befuddled. I had no idea what to do. This did not improve the second, third or fourth time. I had the feeling I was looking at a very nifty tool, capable of doing all kinds of stuff, but I could not figure out how to use it in any way that made sense.

I may not be the first or the last person to feel this way. So, for the benefit of all, here are links to four blog posts that together contain a LOT of useful information about the UT terminal.

Ideally this information should be made easier to find. This post is my way of 'bookmarking' it for myself and others.
Thanks go to Gerardo for giving me these links on the Dutch UBports Telegram Group.

Hello! Trying again... maybe a shorter post will work. I've been reading through people's introductions, and interesting stuff like the meet-the-community page, and it might be time to introduce myself here.
I'm Moem, or at least that's how a lot of folks know me. The name came from one of my favourite books. I'm active in the Dutch hackerspaces community and on the Linux Mint forum where I'm a moderator. I'm Dutch.

Working (can receive calls, calls can be taken, both people can hear and speak) :

@nutzernam said in Axolotl Problems on OPO:

Many thanks to all the kind persons who are making this possible!

I want to join you in expressing thanks. I'm enjoying Axolotl already and I'm sure it will be great in the future. We're lucky to get this software!

@unisuperbox I prefer a good update over a fast update!

The Star of Life symbol is usually used in blue. I think that is a good reason to make it blue here, too. But on a black background, it would be good to have a white outline because that has maximal contrast with black.

So, this is my proposal.

Above: Pebble Steel. Some say it's the best looking smartwatch ever.

I'm the happy owner of several Pebble smartwatches. Pebbles work great with UT; the app to interact with a Pebble from a UT device is Rockwork. It offers the full functionality of the Pebble app. And it's in the OpenStore. So far, so nice!

There is just one fly in this delicious milkshake: Rockwork does not allow the use with more than one Pebble. Not even if you only want to connect one at a time; it simply does not have multiple profiles for multiple Pebbles. And since they are really nice watches, and relatively easy to find second-hand, it's understandable to own more than one. But there is no way (so far, and as far as I know) to use more than one Pebble with the same device!

Is this a thing that you would be able to fix? Please let me know! I'm happy to send a fully functional Pebble + a charging cable to the app developer who is willing and able to commit to this.

@techwizz said in Can I make a OnePlus 7 Pro port?:

Ryan made a port of UBPorts to the OnePlus 7 Pro back in March.

Wouldn't it be great to get that one in the installer? Some not-too-old devices are good to have. What would be required for that to happen?

@totalrando said in I just can't quit UT:

decided to buy a OnePlus One.
WOW. It even changes the splash screen on boot. This feels like an "official" Ubuntu Phone.

It does, doesn't it. It's better than it has any right to be.
Rock on, brother/sister/sibling. Bacon forever.

@prisonindustry said in Porting for Samsung M20 LTE:

can i wish to create a version for the device?

Maybe! Please see the Porting Guide and get informed about how porting works.

@alter said in Q&A 104 Blog And Audio Available:

Just noticed there is German text 'Blog & Nachrichten' in top of the webpage.

That's because the link points to a localized version. The blog posts don't get translated, but the page itself is. As you can see, the link contains 'de' for Deutsch.

@davedanger said in Wish list : which apps do you need?:

The Open Store desperately needs a good American sports app

What would such an app do? People here probably don't know that.

@messayisto I'm not an Axolotl developer, but I do believe the answer is yes.
The developers are working hard to overcome the latest changes in Signal, and it's not an easy task, but the goal is a fully functional version of Axolotl to be made available through the Open Store.

@flaun-in Join the Telegram group, you'll find that there are click files offered that have features that aren't yet integrated in the version that is in the Open Store. The latest one has a fix that prevents this "disappearing message timer" message.

@mrt10001 said in Cannot get UBports to install...:

My bad, should have said ubuntu touch.

No biggie, and now you know!

Congratulations on getting Ubuntu Touch installed!
(UBports is not the OS, it's the foundation that makes it possible.)

@alan-adale said in Image of UbPorts in starting the device:

OnePlus One 3/3T

Is it a One or a 3 or a 3T? The brand is called OnePlus. The first model is called OnePlus One. Confusing, I know!
I suspect yours is either a OnePlus 3 or a OnePlus 3T.

What does that look like and why would we want it?
