@malditobastardo That's great. How does one do that, please?

I have another problem: cannot install apps

It's better to start a new topic for this, no one will know to expect this problem in a topic about the clock being off the screen.

@oldbutndy said:

I thought sm-xcx was updating details on specific device pages

They are. That means updating the already existing text, not adding new sentences.

@Kadafi said:

using Ubuntu in a mobile phone is simply amazing!

Word, sibling
Glad to hear you're experiencing the freedom that UT brings! Tell your friends!

@Kadafi said:

the warning message

My advice is to start seeing it as a badge of honour. It means that you've taken full ownership of your device.

@oldbutndy said:
I was only suggesting a single sentence, to help potential new UT users understand (by themselves asking us or others), that something like different sub models of a specific phone might range from EASY to unlock, to IMPOSSIBLE to unlock.

Adding text is still outside the scope of what @sm-xcx is currently doing.

I have a M8 FHD, not sure if it's the same.

Usually: no, it has to be exactly the same device.

@richdb Dat kan ik alleen maar aanbevelen. Ik had echt meer mensen willen spreken. Een volgende keer dan maar!

Have you considered it may be the monitor? I have a Lenovo portable monitor and I've connected it to a friend's FP5, and it 'just worked'.

@Eric-H said:

I was talking about used or refurbished products.

Okay. In that case, it's definitely possible to get quite similar specs at very affordable prices, depending on where the OP is.
However, also depending on their location, they should take care to get a phone that already supports VoLTE, if needed.

@Eric-H said:

You can find a device with equivalent or superior performance and similar or better features that is also easier to unlock, but not at the same price point.

That's only true if you insist on buying new. If you're OK with buying used or refurbished, that opens up a wide world of options.

For maximal contrast with your experience, here's mine from last weekend: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12075/i-did-not-know-the-installer-could-do-this...

I would prefer NOT to use AI ...

Then don't. I never use it. I survive somehow. It's been only a very short time that these options have existed at all. Have we already forgotten how to do without them?

AI can't help with Ubuntu Touch because there is not enough information on the web for it to work with. It was made to give answers, whether or not the information exists. So it starts to make stuff up. That's not information, it just sounds like it.

and how many hours is a person supposed to spend ?

Spend fewer hours, ask more questions.
We're happy to help, give us the chance to! You're part of a community, there is no need to stumble around in the dark, come sit around the fire with us and we'll swap tales and information.

@Adelaar said:

put off sound-notifications for some groups and not for others. I couldn't find how to do that. Is this already somehow possible?

Yes: go into the group you want to silence, open the menu from the three dots at the right hand top, and choose the 'mute' setting that you want.

Did all y'all know that the Installer can in some devices unlock the bootloader?
It can and I had no idea! I flashed a Op5t for someone, yesterday afternoon, and the Installer offered to unlock it, and it was easy and it WORKED!

You might say: it's just a fastboot command, what's the big deal?
Fair enough! What it did, is by itself not magical. But the fact that it did that, is.

It did say, as I 'm used to, to make sure that the bootloader was unlocked. And then it had a big button offering to do so!
Then I just had to confirm that on the phone, and just like that, it was unlocked.

It may seem like a small thing but it made the process feel easier and smoother.

Vandaag was UBports, vier mens sterk, aanwezig bij de landelijke meeting van de NLLGG . We hebben vragen beantwoord, dingen uitgelegd en laten zien, er zijn toestellen geflashed met Ubuntu Touch... en ik heb een presentatie gehouden, waar positieve respons op kwam. Ook hadden we wat leuke weggevertjes meegebracht: pennen, keycords en natuurlijk stickers.
We zijn van harte welkom om er de volgende keer weer bij te zijn en er zijn plannen gesmeed om een mooie samenwerking tussen UBports en de NLLGG op te bouwen. Naar mijn idee een prima match!

@oldbutndy said:

Since you are working on the whole group, could you add WiFi Calling to every device page ?

That's a change to the structure of the page itself. @sm-xcx is working on the contents of the page, which is a different thing. I'm not saying that your idea is bad, it's simply outside the scope of what they are doing.

Heard that VoLTE works too

I found that hard to believe but here is a report: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11941/call-for-testing-ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.2/31?_=1773354021518

@sm-xcx Hey I have a Suzu on Noble right here! As far as I can see, what worked on Focal still works on Noble.

You can't install a phone that hasn't been ported. Porting means creating the unique installation files that a specific device needs. The Pixel 4a has not been ported, so there is nothing you can install, as far as Ubuntu Touch goes.

If you might be interested in porting it, please see https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting
