@crab_aesthetics keep us updated, I’m thinking of getting a pixel 3a. I’m curious what you think of the speed or performance

@dobey thats great news, so your saying theres definitely room for performance improvement. I look forward to seeing that.

Lol 38 common ur a baby i started learning code at 48.

Help out the mobian or arch community with pinephone. If you put in a little effort everyday eventually youll be able to copy other peoples software and put it on ur OS of choice for everyone to enjoy.

I personally think UT is too polished(bloated) for an underpowered device like pinephone. I like UT and use as a daily driver, but just on a quicker device like my nexus 6p.

@trwidick dang, thanks for the information. Hope the talk and text works soon lol I was thinking of upgrading to that phone but i just checked and my nexus 5 apparently has a faster cpu. Not sure how real world the pixel 3a feels. I know it has the octo core compared to my quad core.

@trwidick On xfinitymobile, did you have it activated first and it worked then you installed ubuntu touch? I guess ill wait until more bugs get fixed until i switch to pixel 3a from nexus 5

bluetooth is kinda a pain in the butt. i got a nexus 5 and i never have luck with bluetooth connecting it to my bose headphones. even on my laptop it struggles time to time.

@trwidick hey are you using a pixel 3a Xl or regular? i was thinking of getting an XL and also getting xfinitymobile, any luck?

Does anyone use the XL version? I was thinking of buying one but it seems like ut only works for non xl version.

@povoq thanks for the reply. I figured it would take time, I prefer the UT setup or navigation, the slider. But not going to lie the battery and speed of lineageOS is something to work towards to. Id imagine if UT has the same speed and battery life as lineageOS, our operating system would be a lot more desired. I think this is why a lot of people get into linux in the first place, bring back life to a old system.

Is it possible, to instal openstore apps on lineageOS?
I enjoy ubuntutouch but on some devices its very slow like my nexus 7. On my nexus 7 android oem is slow and ubuntu touch is roughly the same. But i installed LineageOS and its fast reminds me of installing arch on my old laptop. Brings back the life in it lol.

Anyways just thought that would be awesome if i could somehow use UT apps on lineageOS. I wish UT was as snappy as LineageOS.

@4carlos Interesting, my Xperia x Compact, has the same battery life as my nexus 5. I do know lineageOS has really good battery management, which I could get that on UT
but overall id say UT is the same battery life as a regular android or ios so its normal for me. LineageOS would really extend the battery to a couple days, not sure how they do it. They also have nothing really on that operating system

@drikk Do you currently use ubuntu touch on your xperia or are you back on android? I was wondering if you fixed your slow or laggy UT because i have a nexus 7, and it also is slow. But the original android oem was also slow. So im afraid its just the hardware.

@cibersheep Thank you for your thorough answer, I like the idea of the openstore but I remember hearing concerns for snap packages because of their centralized nature. My understanding is because you have to be approved simliar to ios or android.

I'd assume because OpenStore's opensourced problems like these are alot less likely.

@stanwood I'm not much help but I just got an xperia x compact. The camera and screen suprised me, I prefer smaller phones but I know the regular xperia x has a great camera as well. And im pretty sure they have an sd slot. Cheers mate. My compact is great, the only thing I wish is the headphone jack to work. I'm looking into how to fix that, something in the software isn't right. Not sure if Xperia X has the same issue. But other than that everything else works great.

I know this is an old thread, buts its a great idea. I use brave and i'd love to give ubports foundation brave tokens. Just not sure if they are enrolled in brave. If not they ought to be

Hi, I noticed while browsing openstore there are some apps that are no longer available. I figured they are not maintained anymore? But I also wonder how does OpenStore choose which apps are appropriate.
Here's one i found https://open-store.io/app/laines.rpattison
This one's a emulator, Im curious who has the power to say yes to an app and who doesn't. As i could see maybe some things to be illegal or copyright infringement. Or adult and so on.

Also would one have to use libertine to install apps around openstore if their app was blocked?

Thanks for any words.

@drikk Yes that is exactly what i fell into. But i figured it out as well, I had to install android 6 from sonys website.

@4carlos I just figured it out, i had to install android 6.0. That was the hardest part, you have to go to sonys website, download their binaries, extract it download their kugo 6.0 zip extract it
