@kugiigi Great to know. I guess I'll wait for an official release with 24.04 then to try it on my FP5.

Just wondering if anyone has tested if convergence with an external screen via the USB-C display-port is working already?

@AppLee Nice to hear. I finally got around getting a Lapdock and it works great with the FP5, just Android desktop mode isn't great at all compared to UT.

@Keneda Still waiting for UT to arrive on my FP5, but at least PmOS seems to make progress on it and the wiki page also claims that there is someone working on a UT port:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5)

@kugiigi already got mine, looks promising for PostmarketOS as well. Maybe I'll get back into Ubports if it works well.

Maybe it is possible to register via the signald CLI app?

Another workaround would be to use the Slidge XMPP gateway that supports Signal, but XMPP clients on UT are sadly not great either. Movim works in the browser though, just no webpush on UT.

@LemmyMemy Uhm, when I flashed my One Plus 3 some years ago I had to reformat some of the partitions in TWRP (into ext3?) before it would install. Can't remember exactly which ones, but maybe it can give you a hint what to do.

However please be aware that the One Plus 3 port is abandoned for quite some time now and I think is unlikely to get a 20.04 upgrade because of that. I have sadly since then flashed back to Linage OS as that is still actively maintained on this device.

I have about one year experience running the OnePlus3 (without t) as a daily driver.

It works with the same caveats @NoelFlantier described, but the port is abandoned and quite honestly I would not recommend getting one to use with Ubuntu Touch. But if you happen to have one already, sure give flashing it a try and maybe you will like it.

Updater says last update from the 30th of October for the "dev" channel... so far there used to be a new build almost every day.

Did something change on the build server?

Has there been any progress on the wired headphone and bluetooth button support after that thread a while ago where many people contributed the exact response of pressing the buttons?

@jo there is only https://open-store.io/app/coronaapp.de.arnef

maybe you can manage to run the "warn app" via an Android compatibility layer (in the future), but no idea.

Is there any cooperation (other that working on the same upstream stuff) doing on with https://droidian.org/ ? Maybe it would be a good idea to get it to work with the Ubports installer?

@saligari Sadly the OP3/3T in general, not only the GSI experiment has not seem much specific improvements since I originally switch to using UT on it about 1.5 years ago. The non-GSI version works reasonably with some quirks, but I think it is safe to assume that development isn't happening

Anyone still working on this port? It seems to be close to usable, but without camera and bluetooth it is missing two vital functions.

I bet with LinageOS recently having dropped support for this still quite fast device there might be some more interest in a UT port?

@shubhamvis98 what happens when there is an Ubuntu Touch update?

I think someone is working on getting https://droidian.org/ into the Ubports installer, which currently uses Phosh, but I think could also support KDE Plasma in the future (maybe it already does, not sure).

@thousandtopics This will not work without a x86 emulator like box86 and even with one it will be very slow.

@magdesign did you try https://open-store.io/app/uadblock.mariogrip with Morph?

Angelfish needs a newer version of qt AFAIK.

What are your latest thoughts on moving away from Clicks as the package format to something more standardized and maybe cross-platform?

I know flatpack was discussed, but it seems complex to include and maybe not the best choice.

I recently looked into Appimages and with something like this: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageUpdate it is actually a really nice way of packaging and updating apps.

So any thoughts on this? (I am aware that replacing Clicks is not an immediate plan).

But this kind of setup is totally unsupported and will likely break often.
