Miatoll has currently working VoLTE on devel channel, only thing you need it to switch channel and upgrade system, it should be working without any change on SIM 1 when enabled LTE (4G) network, not the other SIM 2 slot

what a waste of time reading this AI slop

for the record I would like to attach a transcript from today's UBports chat [ENGLISH]

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:34]
the only thing I can tell is that Mir and QtMir are not negotiating geometry changes based on orientation yet

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:35]
but I am unsure as to how that is supposed to happen (maybe @alan_griffiths knows something)

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:35]
since we want to avoid resolution changes

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:38]
I will give my Laptop running Mir 2.x a shot later and see if something has changed

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:38]
this thing can rotate

Alan, [26.02.25 11:44]
No more than you've stated. When Mir handles both input and compositing everything is consistent: Other Mir based compositors like Frame, Miriway and Miracle-WM work fine.

But QtMir takes over both input and compositing and routes everything through the Qt compositor. There things are inconsistent. I have not looked, but it sounds as though Mir isn't informed about the rotation and therefore constraints input to the the output it thinks is there.

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:44]
could you point me to the place where it applies those constraints?

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 11:45]
in Mir that is

Alan, [26.02.25 11:59]
Not somethin I know well, but SeatInputDeviceTracker::confine* looks likely

Don Fredl, [26.02.25 12:00]
Thanks, will take a look when I can

TheKit, [26.02.25 16:19]
that sounds about right to me. I've checked that previously and another issue is that due to the mentioned above XWayland isn't getting screen size updated when the display is rotated

TheKit, [26.02.25 16:20]
and X11 calculates scaled relative input coordinates based on the screen size, so the touches in rotated mode end up out of range

TheKit, [26.02.25 16:26]
what we need to figure out is the way to handle screen rotation so Lomiri can still do the animation when it's changed, but let the Mir server be aware of the updated geometry

Alan, [26.02.25 18:50]
It shouldn't be hard (unless input is handled during rotation - and that is madness). Mir has an internal notification system for display changes and that just needs to be fed the new layout.

TheKit, [26.02.25 19:16]
One thing that makes me wonder. Which component handles the actual content rotation? Is it done in software in QML renderer?

I would like to thank you for your newsletters, i love to read them when i have free time on my phone, but there is an issue with reading those newsletters, i do read em in dekko2 on my Xiaomi Note 9 Pro, which has smaller display width that the table wrapper that is there, and so i do not have nerves to read them whole, then on desktop i dont find any time to read them

as far as i can see it is somehow fixed with sizes and also on my desktop browser it is not fitting when switched to "phone layout"

Now, i had issues with different servicies sending emails around 4AM waking me up, so I am currently playing with mute service, there are commands I am trying just muting the DEFAULT_SINK, not sure if correct way, since it is not toggle-able with the switch in ayatana indicators

nano ~/.config/systemd/user/mute-audio.service with

[Unit]
Description=Mute Audio

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ 1

nano /.config/systemd/user/unmute-audio.service with

[Unit]
Description=Unmute Audio

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ 0

nano /.config/systemd/user/mute-audio.timer with

[Unit]
Description=Timer to mute audio at 8 PM

[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 20:00:00
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

nano /.config/systemd/user/unmute-audio.timer with

[Unit]
Description=Timer to unmute audio at 7 AM

[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 07:00:00
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable mute-audio.timer
systemctl --user enable unmute-audio.timer
systemctl --user start mute-audio.timer
systemctl --user start unmute-audio.timer

systemctl --user list-timers

is there gonna be (cups) printer support, since lomiri-system-settings has support for it?
it would just need to add an cups package within system image and some way to print anything from images to pdf files

after some months of using, i know that after start using volte, 4G internet sometimes stop working, maybe after call/sms only thing that helps is to disable/enable data in indicators (no reboot required)
Eric from poco reported that adding new APN may help

@domubpkm well sure, but not every latest build is allright
https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/jobs/7676432640/artifacts/browse this should be pretty ok

after week of using, I am really happy with this solution, works just as it should.

I can imagine some simple application that edits this timer file or doing disable/enable, could also be managable from system-settings.

@libremax yess, spread the knowledge! very nice video

List of Apps for Human Beings:

futify - Despite all the hate, I love it
dekko - same as above

List of Human Beings:

I could list all the hard workers where one of them will definitely win (Marius, Alfred, Ratchanan, Sunweaver, Jami, NotKit, Danfro, Capsia,..)
but I will be biased and mention those who personally wasted a lot of time with me on chat (unfortunately I will leave out people like all wilfridd, x.Dub, jmlich,..)

lduboeuf - for all the time he spent with me debugging bugs in the SMS and Calendar apps

Vlad Nirki - for the time spent debugging at the beginning of the year, to make VoLTE work on miatoll

1. a) setting up password crashes, but password is set
2. b) even when setting numeric pin, when unlocking it asks offers me qwertz keyboard not numeric input
3. terminal is not opening
4. adb shell is not working for me

$ adb shell

• daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
• daemon started successfully
  adb: device unauthorized.
  This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
  Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
  Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

one big plus, fingerprint unlock works

@Schlicki2808 futify is using this api, but seems to use deprecated api calls

instead of creating another alternative client, i belive that more efficient would be to put already done frontend + backend stack into click package, In this way is already futify working, there is backend in golang that reads spotify stream and "forward it" on localhost:8765/song?id stream that is feeded to phone (which is probably the issue why futify does not show album/title/author in media navigator)

this is backend side
https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd

this is one of the clients

ubuntu is switching to matrix, lots of people refuse to use telegram for various reasons, danfro is putting cinny together, , would it be possible to switch to matrix as a community?

@ToxyPoxy there is this manual to follow that helped me https://gitlab.com/frenchutouch/futify/-/issues/64

@kristatos OSK fix seems to be merged, i am also waiting for adb

can you make a release? thanks @paulcarroty

@mihael on mine miatoll it seems to be
/sys/devices/platform/soc/c440000.qcom,spmi/spmi-0/spmi0-05/c440000.qcom,spmi:qcom,pm6150l@5:qcom,wled@d800/backlight/backlight/brightness

and minimal value is 161, maximal is 4095

when i set from root to zero, it seems to be just black, that is fine i shall test minimal value at night

root@uxesPhone:/home/phablet# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/soc/c440000.qcom,spmi/spmi-0/spmi0-05/c440000.qcom,spmi:qcom,pm6150l@5:qcom,wled@d800/backlight/backlight/brightness

@developerbayman you may want to try ask in "Break your UT (Ubuntu Touch)" chat

@mariogrip

For the following reasons, I migrated from Ubuntu Touch (Redmi Note 9 Pro, miatoll) to an iPhone about a month ago

The following list summarizes the most critical issues that prevented me from using Ubuntu Touch (UT) as a reliable daily driver and led to my decision to migrate. These points are sorted according to the priorities defined by the Smooth Edges project.

Bug List and Feedback for the Smooth Edges Project

Priority 1: Core System Stuff (Critical Bugs, Unusability)

• Random Lomiri crashes.
• Battery drainage – Is there a missing application sleep implementation (App States)? We need better implementation of different application states (running in background, running in foreground, suspended) for effective power management.
• Non-functional/Unfriendly OpenVPN: Prevents access to the corporate network. Setting up via the terminal is overly complicated, user-unfriendly, and ultimately unsuccessful.

Priority 2: Basic Phone Features (Core Functionality)

• Car Connectivity/Bluetooth (BT) Reliability:
  • Issues connecting the phone to the car (BT audio playback problems, car refuses to turn up music).
  • Contacts sync failure – When someone calls, only the number is displayed, not the name.
  • BT music issues (Unreliable music control): Play/Pause/Previous song sometimes doesn't work from the car/headphones.
  • BT music autoplay – Music continues playing after BT is disconnected.
• Answering phone calls while driving – A major issue due to unreliable connectivity/UI.
• Non-functional notifications for IMAP (outside of Gmail).
• Green email icon persistence: While the "Clear" button exists to dismiss all notifications, the green envelope icon (indicating new email) remains active even after simply viewing the notification list. It would be preferable if the icon reverted to a non-active state (lost its green color) after the user has checked the notifications.

Priority 3: Daily Use (Everyday Frustrations)

• Browser (Web):
  • Too old browser (Outdated QtWebEngine).
  • Firefox (alternative) has no clipboard.
  • Native browser doesn't support disabling autoplay.
  • Smoothness of web is bad.
• Multimedia and Files:
  • Unreliable Nextcloud photos sync.
  • Slow gallery loading (See: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-gallery-app/-/issues/121).
  • Poor UX for video playback in the Camera app preview: When viewing a video immediately after recording it, clicking 'play' opens a separate Video application. This Video app remains running and open after the video finishes playback, forcing the user to manually close it before they can return to browse other media in the Camera app's preview.
• Navigation: Non-functional/unreliable navigation application – necessity to use Waydroid.
• Calendar reliability and function: There is a lack of trust in calendar synchronization (often failing with Google/Nextcloud), leading to missed meetings. Furthermore, links and call information from synced events are often not clickable/openable, preventing quick joins to meetings.
• Problem understanding call history – Unclear Call History Presentation: It is difficult to track the complete sequence of communication with a contact (e.g., multiple missed calls, outgoing calls, and answered calls) within the interface, making the chronology hard to parse.

Priority 4: Polish (UI, UX Improvements)

• Keyboard – The .tld button (e.g., .cz, .com) should be removed entirely. It is a major source of frustration and significant time loss. It is frequently misclicked instead of the spacebar, resulting in erroneous DNS errors when trying to use the address bar for quick searches (e.g., typing "query.czsearch.cz" instead of "query search ").
• History/Contacts: Clicking on contact from history won't just call, it delays me by only pre-filling the number in the dialer (See: gitlab.com/ubports/development/ubuntu-touch/-/issues/2295).
• Small buttons – Too small buttons (back), making them hard to tap accurately (See: gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/teleports/-/issues/288) - not Teleports-only issue.
• Notification UI: The "Clean" button should float absolutely at the bottom, not relatively below all notifications.
• Feeling of security: Lack of security trust (unlocked bootloader, corporate data/banking inside Waydroid).
• Head-Up Display (Header) Clutter: Too many unnecessary icons in the header make it hard to see the time. We request:
  • Unconditional Removal: Remove the Rotation Lock, Bluetooth, and GPS icons entirely from the header bar.
  • Merge Dual SIM: Consolidate the two separate dual SIM icons into a single, space-saving icon.
  • Conditional Email Icon: The static envelope icon should only appear when there is an actual notification.

Priority 5: Nice to Have (Advanced Features/Edge Cases)

• Productivity applications: Missing native support for MS Teams / Slack / Google Meet.
• Non-functional Spotify (experience is currently painful via Waydroid). Proposed solution: Investigate the possibility of easily integrating popular mainstream desktop Linux applications into OpenStore (like the official Spotify desktop client) using existing distribution formats (e.g., Snap, Flatpak, AppImage) as a simplified, performant alternative to Waydroid for key missing apps.
• Missing cloud application for notes (e.g., Nextcloud integration).
• Shared clipboard – Missing the shared clipboard feature found in iOS/Android+KDE Connect.
• Extremely unreliable QR code reader.
