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

AI online query says

Sorry, but AI knows sweet f***all about Ubuntu Touch. There is just not enough relevant information online for it to build on. Please don't rely on it.

@ma Thank you, I will try that!

@ma said:

The private DNS must be disabled, and the network connection needs to be restarted.

Doesn't work for me.

@sm-xcx That is cool, someone is working on that, you could probably help! I've started a private chat with you here on the forum.

I can't tell you exactly how and where to start, but I can tell you that HELL YES help with documentation is very welcome!
Are you on Telegram? If so, I can point you to the Writers group where they'll know more.

@bunchy7s I'm not watching a video. Did you have the correct ROM on the device before installing Ubuntu Touch? As in, the one that the device page says needs to be installed?

@gpatel-fr For all we know so far, you may be the only one who has it...

@gpatel-fr Do you have an SD card in your phone?

@gpatel-fr I don't have 'Files' there...

@Fizz said:

I note the devices list seems to be a bit out of date though. It says the Pixel 3a does not support the Noble release

Yes, that's correct, someone in the know would need to update that on GitLab.

For the time being, you could also try SignalUT from the Open Store. That's a secondary device, as well.

@Upruzzinga said in Lenovo model that is two years older than the M10.:

be flashed with this UBTouch image and then used as a Linux smart device similar to the Ubuntu Touch M10?

Very, very unlikely and there is a risk you'll brick it.
Phones and tablets differ a lot more than PCs do. Each device needs its own installation file and if there isn't one, it's generally not a good idea to flash one that is meant for a different device.

Sorry, I don't know enough to help you!

@messayisto I would try it since the instructions include a 'login'. Not the whole instructions, just from that part.

@messayisto Have you followed these instructions by Danfro?

For everyone here who is looking for an alternative to use Signal on Ubuntu Touch.
There is a matrix signal bridge hosted here: https://tchncs.de/matrix.
This can be used with Cinny or any other Matrix client. Instructions are given on the website there.
Note: Some things do still not work. Image download is fine, but right now no other file types. I am working on it...

• Open Cinny (or another matrix client)
• create a new room
• invite the bridge bot @signalbot:tchncs.de
• open your primary signal device and head for settings, linked devices
• got to chat with bridge bot and type "login" as message
• scan the qr code with your primary device, it should now link them
• Done.

@PringleMingle If you loved your Op3, try finding a used Op5 or 5t! Very good device, and very close to what you are used to... except this one runs the latest version of Ubuntu Touch. And nowadays they can be had for a song.

@libremax said in "New": Nothing Phone 1 with Ubuntu Touch:

some postings also may exist elsewhere in Internet but not in ubports-installer and be in a good state of working.

True, but we can't support those ports. I always hope the porter will take the steps to make their port official / supported. It's better for all parties involved.

referring blindly to this list https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ to answer certain questions is a little too simplistic.

That is the unfortunate truth. It's a problem. And I don't see any easy solutions.
