Will there be an own category in this sub forum?
Probably, but for now I've moved your topic from Oneplus One to Oneplus.

@SteveD said in Shiftphone 6mq no ringtone on speakers:
Can you deliver an update for the Xenial 16.04?
Xenial will not receive any further updates, it's End Of Life. You can keep using it but there will not be updates. Sorry!
I will move this post, since this area is meant specifically for new contributors, not new users.
@Alter said in Telegram app:
I use Teleports on UT mobile and Telegram Desktop on my Ubuntu PC
Same same (except Mint, and Flatpak). It's the perfect combination for me.
@nichodiaz said in New Ubuntu Touch user looking for some starting tips:
Signal App
I currently use Molly FOSS (an open source Signal fork) in Waydroid, in tandem with Signal on desktop. It's not a perfect solution. The native Axolotl is in development but they're having trouble keeping up with all the changes in Signal.
This app is for Xenial, but you can still download it through the browser, and install it like that. And it works fine on Focal.

Preferred browser (Brave)
I think you are going to have to give up on that one.
@padu said in Q: notifications (non-LED):
Water-proof?
Yes, and less suitable for tinkering, but more suitable for daily use. They also sell an unsealed version for those who wish to hack.
@padu For sure!
As of pretty recently, the situation is much improved. We now have two watch apps; one is Rockwork, which supports the Pebble watches and works quite well. It's under active development by @TheVancedGamer.
The other is Amazfish, which has been ported to Ubuntu Touch by Jozef Mlich and it supports a nice lineup of watches. I found this information by the author of the app:
There are 3 tiers of supported devices:
GoldThese are devices I have, have tested and will try not to break any functionality for an include:
- Amazfit Bip
- Amazfit GTS
- Pinetime Infinitme
- Bangle.js
Silver
These are devices which are properly implemented in the application, but I do not have and are tested by the commuity, and include:
- Amazfit BipS
- Amazfit Bip Lite
I do not promise not to break functionality in these, but will fix where I canBronze
These are devices which use a protocol that is close to another suppored device, and so is treated like that device. Your mileage may vary with these devices.
- MiBand 2/3/4
- AMzfit Cor
- Amazfit GTR
In other words: if you want a decent experience, get a
Amazfit Bip
Amazfit GTS
Pinetime Infinitme
Bangle.js
... or a Pebble.
I have and use both a Pebble (let's be honest, I have several) and a Pinetime. If you want to buy new, the Pinetime is a simple and cheap, but very usable option.
@padu said in Q: notifications (non-LED):
Adding yet another piece of hardware to the stack gives an opportunity for funny blame games. If I missed a notification, was it the watch's fault or the phone's?
All I can say to that is that in my highly personal experience, I miss a great deal fewer notifications when I do wear a smart watch than when I don't.
@padu said in Q: notifications (non-LED):
does Ubuntu Touch support this obscure feature of on-display visual feedback about missed calls, SMS etc. that you can notice without having to touch the phone?
I don't know how that exists at all. How can you show something on the screen without the screen being on?
I mean, I cannot believe, people are happy permanently touching buttons to check for notifications, huh?
That's what my smart watches are for. To let me know about notifications, and even let me read them, without me having to touch my phone.
@UbuntuGal said in Ubuntu Touch on Samsung Galaxy S10+:
Can Ubuntu Touch be installed on a Samsung Galaxy S10+ (Exynos) phone?
Yes-but-no. There was a port, but it's outdated and the porter has abandoned it. You can find the information here:
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/beyond2lte/release/xenial/
Can a Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone with Ubuntu Touch use VoLTE 4G?
No. Ubuntu Touch does not yet support VoLTE on any device (with a tiny number of exceptions).
Now I'm going to move this topic, because it's not about Waydroid. Welcome, by the way, and sorry that I don't have better news!
@stanwood said in Gigaset GS4 - Gigaset290 - Volla Phone black Screen after starting the installer:
The Gigaset GS290 doesn't have the same digital signature as the Volla Phone
And this is Gigaset GS4, which is probably not identical to the Gigaset GS290.
@bmlu said in Any chance of updating 16.04 to 20.04?:
f.e. a Google Pixel 3a would do the job
It would! I use the Oneplus 5t and that is also a fine device for UT. Just keep your eye on the top of that list and see what's on offer.
@bmlu said in Any chance of updating 16.04 to 20.04?:
I find among the promoted phones also the Nexus 5.
Nexus 5 will most likely not be taken along to Focal because of its old kernel and because the hardware is getting positively geriatric.
@arubislander Oh dear! Well, while that is not what I was hoping to hear, it's good information to have. Thank you very much!
@domubpkm said in Would it be possible to port this app?:
What are the strong points of the one you are proposing? To replace TELEports which seems to be marking a halt in its development?
No, not at all, TELEports is fine. It's an app for Telegram.
Molly is an app for Signal. There is currently no Signal app for UT that works. Axolotl2 works in some ways but I know the small crew is struggling with keeping up with the many changes that Signal makes.
So maybe this is an easier route to the same destination.
First off I don't code, so I can't help with the work that this would take. So this is merely a suggestion and nothing more.
But apparently there is a FOSS Signal fork for Android that works quite well, and I'm wondering whether the fact that it's FOSS makes it possible to port it to Ubuntu Touch.
It's called Molly.
I just heard about this last Friday and I figured it might be useful information to pass on.
@ceric said in Nexus 7 (wifi & LTE):
I'd like to know if this phablet will be supported on Focal (OTA-4)?
If someone has one, and is willing to do the work to update the port. We don't know that.
If someone comes forward, then anything is possible! But so far, i don't think anyone has.
@Nikk84 The 'bootloader unlocked' message is completely normal on almost all devices running UT, and you shouldn't worry about that. The other stuff does seem problematic, but it's unrelated.
@jojumaxx said in How to remove Orange State?:
the Volla support was able to revive my phone, but with an Orange State warning. I was told, to leave it that way.
And they were right. If you relock your bootloader, you will most likely brick the device.
The warning "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" is completely normal on many UT devices. Personally I prefer to see it as a badge of honour.
@DrRic said in Install on Nexus 4 wit 16.04 ota-25:
I have never interacted witha forum before as the look so toxic.
This one is one of the more helpful, and friendlier ones you'll find. And we have moderators who do not tolerate toxic behaviour. So don't worry about that here!
