RE: Ubuntu Touch and privacy/security
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 :-
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
-
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
Thomas

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It seems that the webpage on waydroid on UT is not up to date (it refers to Amazon play store, that is no longer maintained)I would like to ask :
-
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 ? -
If I don't use Play Store, does "waydroid upgrade" update the apps ?
Thank you for your answers
Best

RE: PS : what about FP6 ?
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,
Thomas
