@pparent That is so clever. It looks like a speech balloon but it's a bird. Love it!

More suggestions: Signify, Signpost, Sigil, Signet.
But Sigul is nice too. If it has a seagull as an icon it's a pun!

@Moem yes, same applies for the OP5(t).

Thank you. Then I'll just wait patiently.

@Luksus said:

there is ongoing work, to work around this issue for such devices.

Good to hear it's being worked on. Does that by any chance include the Oneplus 5t?

@Perrete You're welcome! There's another app that may in time offer what you are looking for, and will probably become available soon:

@Perrete The post location is fine but I've made your topic a bit easier to find by adding tags and adjusting the title. 'Calls' will usually refer to telephony, so it's relevant that you are actually using voicechat in WhatsApp; furthermore it's good to let people know that you are doing this in Waydroid, not natively.
Best of luck and I hope you find a good solution!

By the way, have you tried this?

That worked in a few minutes outside.

Glad to hear it!

@KoJans Try the app MessWerk, it often gets faster GPS fix. After that, the navi apps should have it too.

But also: we don't have A-GPS because it's from Google. So getting a fix will take longer than you are used to. Never fear though: the more regularly you use your GPS, the faster the fix.

For the first fix, going outside and keeping the screen awake should help a lot.

@KoJans Van harte welkom!

@pparent said:

Any way to report it? Maybe @moem ?

I'll see what I can do to forward this to the right people!

De medewerking die Telegram heeft verleend was dat ze de push service van Canonical, die wij hebben geërfd, hebben geïmplementeerd.

Ah! Okay, dat verschil is met mijn kennisniveau wat vaagjes. In elk geval hebben ze een vorm van medewerking verleend, wat meer is dan we van Signal kunnen zeggen.
Dank je voor de correctie!

Does the google free version of waydroid come with MicroG

Not automatically, but it can be installed. I'm having trouble remembering how I did this, but here's a video that may help.

@nomadster I would say that 'months'' sounds most accurate. But it depends on the porter, who needs to apply the fix to the port for this specific device. And it depends on another step that needs to happen first...

Your device is currently not included in the beta testing for the 24.04-2.x version, which comes with this fix. The reason is a problem with the size of the root file system. Let's hope a solution for that can be found soon. (My own daily driver is not included either, for the same reason)

@nomadster You're in luck! A fix for rounded corners is being tested, and will very likely come to your device soonish.

xmpp client

Xmpp is a decently popular chat protocol with a great number of clients:
https://xmpp.org/software/?category=clients

It makes a lot of sense for UT to have one or more native clients, too.

@UBportsNews That's great, thank you so much!

Deze chatapps kunnen nou net de apps zijn die je zoekt als je overstapt. Deze lijst is niet compleet, vul gerust aan met je eigen favorieten!

DeltaTouch
https://open-store.io/app/deltatouch.lotharketterer

Een verdraaid goede UT-versie van DeltaChat. Loopt in de pas met het origineel. Decentraal en versleuteld. Kan zelfs probleemloos gebruikt worden voor videochat!

TELEports
https://open-store.io/app/teleports.ubports

Eigen UT-versie van Telegram, gemaakt met medewerking van Telegram. Mist nog wat features, maar is simpel en betrouwbaar.

Signal UT
https://open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent

Prima werkende UT-versie van Signal voor Desktop. Heeft wel ergens een echte Signal voor mobiel nodig. Bijvoorbeeld eentje in Waydroid, die dan heel af en toe even aan moet.

Cinny UT
https://open-store.io/app/cinny.danfro

Goede en complete client voor Matrix.

WhatsNew
https://open-store.io/app/whatslectron.pparent

Webversie van Whatsapp. Ik heb hem nooit geprobeerd maar ik zet hem erbij voor de volledigheid.

audio/video calls

If this is high priority for you, you might want to give DeltaTouch a try. Earlier this weekI tried a videochat with a friend who was using DeltaChat on /e/OS, and it worked fine.

@messayisto For a more fun test, on the old Morph this game does not run at all, and it runs fine on the new one:

@utkarshdubeyfsd said:

are there any alternative methods, such as unofficial ports or custom ROM installations

By their nature, we don't know about those. If one exists, you'll have to find it elsewhere.

If you are interested in developing a new port for this device, please see the port development guide.
