@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!

I was one of the volunteers humanning the stand, and it was great. We were able to answer a lot of questions, we showed many different devices on our stand, and people were quite enthousiastic about what we had to show and say. It was an inspiring day and we helped promote UT and make contact with organisations for possible collaboration. Time well spent!

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...

@cliffcoggin said in Ushby have released an official Review on UT.:

I suggest the review is removed until a more objective one can be written.

Let's cut the author a little slack. They're allowed to voice their opinions, even if their opinions are based on a misunderstanding; as for feeling ill, the world would in my view be a better place if everyone was this open and honest about what influenced their mood at a certain time.

Ubuntu Touch:
It's in your hands.

@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.

@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!

@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.

@moem said in T-Shirt Slogan Competition!!:

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:

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

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.

@ricardo65 said in Current status sony xperia 10 port:

you can put through the installer ubports?

Device page says no: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/kirin/release/xenial
Furthermore, there is no work happening to get this device to Focal, it looks like. I think you should consider this port to be abandoned.

I can offer you some resources:

• the porting group on Telegram
• the documentation

@fairose said in Status of VoLTE (Voice over LTE 4G) implementation?:

Does anyone know where in the world I could currently use my UT-Device to make a call?

I believe that it works in most European countries. It certainly works fine for me here in the Netherlands.

It seems unlikely. It's a lot of work for such an old and not very powerful device. Someone may step up and do the work but I would not count on it.

@tekisui said in Have to initiate manufature of mobile phones or smartphones:

I read something about a "dosbox" to run gluugle play apps on ubuntu touch ?

Assuming you mean Google:
You may be thinking of Anbox. But that is old and no longer maintained. The better option, for those devices that can support it, is called Waydroid.

But how that relates to the subject of this thread is unclear to me. And I think you asked this already. Were those answers not what you were looking for?

@Keneda Well, if they know a way to initiate that, they should by all means feel free to go ahead.

@Keneda The OP has gotten answers in the Telegram group, so we can lay this topic to rest.

@ford2201 Hello! I must be honest and say that I don't really understand your question. I can only tell you that the Samsung Galaxy S23 is not a supported device, so you can't install Ubuntu Touch on it as far as I know.

@Tobi79 Like I just told you on Telegram: If your phone can run Waydroid, you can use that with the Signal official app.

this thread is in the wrong forum section

Not surprising because it is called "Redmi Note 9 Pro"...
