what a waste of time reading this AI slop

I saw that the FSF is working on this Librephone project. Do you think it could help Ubuntu Touch in any way? Maybe UBports should team up with them?

this is the procedure https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/ubuntu-touch-session/-/issues/22#note_2475632676

I would recommend understanding what happens with individual commands and just flipping the logic.

@RJDan

provide us with important applications that can be easily installed (one-click in the store), are safe (not random code from a random stranger with a random license), and have all the essential functionalities. I am willing to pay some money, let's say for fully functional Firefox, fully functional MS Teams, Slack, Spotify,... but mainly, they should not be outdated or unupdated, and the microphone, camera, keyboard, and clipboard should work. I know it sounds like a lot, but theoretically, it could just be an integration of Snap/Flatpak into the store.

but that no bug bounty, that is more like fundraising

so with our device we are in a state where we are able to use it with noble (24.04) and this has been around since January,
we have tested that the partition for joyeuse must necessarily be increased in size, before approving this change
i would like to request testing on other devices (curtana, excalibur, gram) so if anyone has a spare phone,
or you are brave enough to test noble, whether you are able to install noble with this change using the following commands

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ubports/installer-configs/fd9802a07cf67d489a78331af3426c416c677f23/v2/devices/miatoll.yml
./ubports-installer_0.10.0_linux_x86_64.AppImage -f ./miatoll.yml 

The only goal is to test if the increase in size doesn't break anything other than joyeuse
thanks

@Talkless same here, when i need navigation, i use osmand+

unav and puremaps are not usable, issues with missing gps signal in app (but other apps in same time can show my location), crashing or freezing and after some application switching

@lsitongia do you have correct android version?

what is my device?
adb shell getprop ro.product.name
should print like "joyeuse_global"

adb shell getprop | grep incremental
should print

[ro.system.build.version.incremental]: [832]
[ro.build.version.incremental]: [832]
[ro.odm.build.version.incremental]: [V12.0.2.0.QJZMIXM]
[ro.vendor.build.version.incremental]: [V12.0.2.0.QJZMIXM]

@Vlad-Nirky I did, but that is offtopic

@mjosenhans I would not say its caused by any new changes, i dont have waydroid stop icon since instalation of my device, that is at least one year now

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

i can confirm

hey team, just a quick thought for the q&a. it's great we're doing these every couple of weeks. i was reading the latest linmob weekly update and noticed ubuntu touch doesn't really stand out there. maybe the official ubports account could share some marketing-focused updates on mastodon, twitter, facebook, or other social media themselves? like, if something interesting gets merged or a cool ticket closes, a short post about it could really help get the word out. just a thought!

(for context, i was reading this: https://linmob.net/weekly-update-15-2025/)

@libremax
it works very well, also audio seems to be better, more clear to understand the other side

Xiaomi Note 9 Pro (miatoll joyeuse global)
channel devel
Vodafone - Czech Republic

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

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?

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?

@Vlad-Nirky i would try this, https://www.geekersdigest.com/how-to-make-your-linux-trust-your-own-self-signed-certificates/ its first article i found on searching

@kugiigi oh yes you can request for certificate on page that is not exposed then copy generated keys, I am doing it on some internal company stuff, but the idea is still to posses domain name

(not only) for this reason, i have my nextcloud publicly, so i have valid letsencrypt certificate, and also instance available on the internet out of my home network, you may want to try inport your self signed certificate into your os to be trusted, but that may be also be done per every upgrade

@nunesfl I must note that until yesterday I had a miatoll device running on Noble five days, placed on the table with wifi turned on, from the original battery charged 100% it only showed ~20%, here and there I unlocked it to look at the time and then locked it again. I would wonder if there is something with the battery specifically of your device
