    • RE: App to forward SMS

      @projectmoon, it does matter for me not to implement risky code on my (future) phone 🙂
      Can I try to implement the app on an emulator, without getting UT first ?
      lomiri-messaging-app seems to be unconfined. It is implemented in C++ not in Python

      Where can I find a tuto of Python implementation for UT, please. The official tool is Clickable ?

      Hello @projectmoon
      Thank you for your answer !!
      Acually, I am a data scientist, not a "real" dev. I know Python for data, but I don't know what is a unconfined app...
      Yes, forwarding would be sending a copy of the SMS to another phone number
      Is it so risky ?

    • App to forward SMS

      Hello
      I am thinking in using UT on a FP5, notably because UT offers to run Python code, and I can code in Python, whereas I cannot implement Android apps with Kotlin by myself
      However, I could not leave my e/OS Android FP5 because yet, because I need some Android Apps

      I was thinking in the feasability to implement an app or run code in background on UT, that would transfers SMS automatically from UT to a Android phone

      I asked to Mistral and Claude if it would be possible and they pointed out that apps are sandboxed, and only the native message apps can access and send SMS

      Here is my question : how to learn what is feasible or not when programming on UT ?

      @idonthatevests
      Thank you very much for your answer
      Actually, I already have a Degoogled Android on Fairphone
      I wonder what UT do more for privacy
      I have not read the page refered by @lakotaubp : it will probably answer my question
      Thanks again

      Hello @fredldotme

      Thank you very much for your answer !!

      Sorry for the delay, I was not notified

      Actually, I am a very infrequent phone user. My main point is privacy, notably avoiding tracking.
      What make me hesitate is :

      1. On UT, there are probably no tracker at all in the OS, but maybe some in the (web) apps. And there are still some when browsing the web

      2. On DeGoogled OS, there may be links with Google Servers (but I think spoofing the identity with microG), but some systems may block a list of trackers at DNS level, and some VPN (suited to Android but not UT) can block even more trackers

      Which side is the balance tipping toward ?

      Thanks again

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch and privacy/security

      Hello @MK73
      I am not an expert in OS, but I would like to ask : in what way Ubuntu Touch OS vision of the control about digital life differ to the vision of degoogled Android OS, like e/OS or GrapheneOS ?
      Thank you for insight

    • RE: Fairphone 5 bricked while attempting to install Ubuntu Touch

      @Keneda said in Fairphone 5 bricked while attempting to install Ubuntu Touch:

      Hello,

      The installer guide for FP5 specifies to downgrade to the FP5 Android 13, not custom, and so not relock bootloader

      Is it up to date ?

      Or can we install it from Android 15 ?

      Best !

    • Waydroid / Google Play Store / Google Services

      Hello,

      I am gonna to install Ubuntu Touch, with Waydroid for apps that are not available on Ubuntu Touch yet
      It seems that the webpage on waydroid on UT is not up to date (it refers to Amazon play store, that is no longer maintained)

      I would like to ask :

      1. Waydroid offers to be signed, and then to use Google Play Store/services
        But I am mainly interested in UT for privacy. If I use Google Services on waydroid, does it access to my data like a ordinary Android ?

      2. If I don't use Play Store, does "waydroid upgrade" update the apps ?

      Thank you for your answers

      Thank you for your answer @Keneda
      And sorry for the multiple threads, I thought I was just repliying to "Does Fairphone 4 supports VoLTE", and not creating new threads...

      So I still have to wait a bit for VoLTE on FP5

      Thanks again

    • PS : what about FP6 ?

      Re: VoLTE for FP4 implies VoLTE for FP5 too ?

      Hello

      It is a great news that VoLTE ans VoWifi are now supported by Ubuntu Touch on FP4 !!
      If they are on FP4, they are probably too on FP5 ? And what about FP6 (that is not mentionned on the Ubuntu Touch Website)

      It seems the Ubuntu WebPage is not up to date

      https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp5/
      https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp4/

      I am mainly interested by FP5. Besides, is it possible to get a dual boot Android / Ubuntu Touch on FP5 ?

      Best,
