I've just 'upgraded' my Cosmo from Debian to UBPorts using instructions from oesf.org.
Here is the link to the thread https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?topic=36413.0
Seems solid and snappy. I haven't tested telephony yet (sim card in PinePhone, also on UBPorts), but I will be testing soon.
See photo of UBPorts running on both PinePhone and Planet Cosmo, very groovy.

Planet Cosmo Communicator with UT is a great daily driver for me.
Cosmo and UT is a super combination.
Thank you developers and community.

@AppLee
Thanks for that. Yeah, probably right, I reckon the photo pushed the spam filter over the edge. I've tried to repost without the picture but no go, so I reckon maybe my card is marked until I build up a bit of history. Shame really, it was a very groovy photo of UBPorts running on a PinePhone and Planet Cosmo side by side, very convergent.

I'm getting this same message when trying to post a reply on a thread about the Cosmo Communicator. I'm new here, and also tried uploading a photo in my post, I don't know if that's significant.

Hi,
Just got here, running UBPorts on PinePhone and Planet Cosmo.

@luksus
Thanks for that, the Cosmo being the Cosmo it wasn't that simple, but I've finally worked it out.
On the Cosmo, volume is a proper toggle switch, so it's impossible to press both at the same time.
Long pressing on the power key, (Esc), eventually just goes straight to reboot without the options.
I have two shortcuts for volume up volume down on the keyboard, FN+C FN+V, but FN+C+V doesn't seem to do it either.
There is also a power off option from the pull down settings menu which opens up a window with options that include screenshot, but then the pull down menu itself gets in the way when you take the shot.
Eventually I realised that on the Cosmo, long press Esc=Power On, long press FN+Esc=Power Off, so I tried long press FN+Esc, success. My bad, I was long pressing 'Power On' instead of 'Power Off'

Planet Cosmo, but still can't figure out how to take a proper screenshot...

This is clearly for you, my friend.

Thanks for the cigar.

"A formal release of this is expected to happen later this year. The company is said to be working with the UBports community and the Linux community at large to bring support for other Linux distributions to its portable computers. "

@keneda said in Cosmo Communicator:

interesting

Something more official from ubports would be great.

Yes, I wouldn't want to vouch for the accuracy of that statement in the article, but we can dream
Also I just think it's good to get some publicity for the Cosmo and UBports.

@nfsprodriver

I'm on a different device so I'm not sure how relevant this is, but there are a few settings for vibration on my device.
In 'Sound', in the sub heading 'Phone calls:' there are settings for 'Vibrate on ring' and 'Vibrate in Silent Mode', in the sub heading 'Messages:' there are settings for 'Vibrate with message sound' and 'Vibrate in Silent Mode', and in the sub heading 'Other sounds:' there is a setting for 'Other vibrations'.
Also in 'Language & Text' down the bottom there is a 'Keyboard vibration' setting.
I was getting the odd unwarranted buzz here and there until I turned off the 'Other vibrations' and 'Keyboard vibration' settings.

Okay,
My routine for installing Ubuntu Touch on the Cosmo Communicator is as follows.

On PC
Install multiboot from planet website
GoTo 'https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo'
Follow the instructions to download the Linux/MultiBoot firmware for your Cosmo 'support.planetcom.co.uk/download/cosmo-customos-installer-v3.zip', I used V3, V4 is now available but I haven't tried it.
Follow the steps to extract, get it on a micro SD card (>=8GB), and get it in your shiny Cosmo. I downloaded and extracted this on a Linux PC and then transferred to a micro SD card that I stuck in my Cosmo.

On Cosmo
Continue to follow the webpage instructions to partition your Cosmo, I select most (ideally all) for Linux, you may choose one of the other options (Reserve 30GB for Android and 90 GB for Linux) if you need rooted android.
This will set up your Cosmo for MultiBoot.

On Cosmo
Install KDE Gemian in slot3
Continue with the process and the Planet website to install Debian on the Cosmo. You will need Debian to help with the Ubuntu Touch installation later. Stick it in 'Slot 3' or 'Slot 4', I put it in 'Slot 3'.

On PC
download latest 'flashable' Ubuntu Touch version as zip from 'https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/android9/planet-cosmocom/planet-cosmocom/-/pipelines' (I used #284408889) downloaded on PC.
unzip to create 'out' folder, stick it on an sdcard

On Cosmo
Stick the sdcard in the cosmo
Boot your Cosmo into KDE Gemian
copy 'out' folder in sdcard to 'home' folder in cosmo

Follow the github instructions
https://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts
You will be using the terminal (Konsole) application for this
sudo mv out/rootfs.img /ubuntu.img

but you may need to add the line:
127.0.0.1 cosmopda
to the /etc/hosts file below the 127.0.0.1 localhost line, by opening and editing with:
sudo nano /etc/hosts, from the root directory
I can't remember where I got this tweak from, it's been a while since I did this, UT has been so stable I haven't needed to reinstall

then run the last two lines:
sudo parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 42 UBPORTS
sudo dd if=out/boot.img of=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/UBPORTS, from the home directory

This should do it, now a reboot should be good to reboot into Ubuntu Touch.
From the selection menu select UBPORTS (you can set it to default into Ubuntu Touch at this point) then let it boot.
If it has worked, don't worry about portrait boot screen, it sorts itself out into landscape at the home screen.

I hope this helps, I hope this works, let me know how you get on.

@moem said in Cosmo Communicator:

Are there any instructions for installation?

Sorry for the late response, I've only just seen your request for info.
If you still need help I will try to help you later when I finish work.
There are a few steps, but all fairly simple if I managed them.

Planet Cosmo Communicator with UT is a great daily driver for me.

Thank you developers and community.

I'm a bit late, but here's my version of events:

Devices:
Cosmo Communicator
PinePhone Rev1.2b

Headsets:
3 different sets of wired headsets, one with 3 buttons, one with 2 buttons, one with 1 button

On the Cosmo, selecting:
'/dev/input/event0: ACCDET'

For all buttons on all headsets I get:
type 1 (EV_KEY), code 164 (KEY_PLAYPAUSE), value 0
-------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
type 1 (EV_KEY), code 164 (KEY_PLAYPAUSE), value 1
-------------- SYN_REPORT ------------

There were 'Event code 114 (KEY_VOLUMEDOWN)' and 'Event code 115 (KEY_VOLUMEUP)' amongst other things listed in the 'Supported events' list, but I didn't see them on any button press.

On the PinePhone, after entering 'evtest' I got no 'Available devices', after entering 'sudo evtest' I got some choices, but none gave any response.

@kucevac
I have this problem, well at least the same symptom as you but on a different device, (Planet Cosmo), and I have tried a few things that didn't work for me but may work for you.
See thread: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3453/cosmo-communicator/18
As @AppLee said, have a tinker with your APN settings.
Or try a new carrier, (I tried four), good luck.
