What is Syncthing?

Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it's transmitted over the internet.

What does this have to do with Ubuntu Touch?

I have packaged Syncthing into a click. This is based off the work of @ZeroPointEnergy who I am not sure is still active in the community.

My attention was drawn to Syncthing because I was looking for a simple way to sync my ebooks between my tablet and my phone, and the Nexcloud sync app did not play well with my Nextcloud setup.

Cool! Where can I get it?

Syncthing companion snap

Want to use Syncthing as a lightweight backup solution and need to install in on a server? There is now a Syncthing snap packaged by yours truly.

I have questions.

Any suggestions or questions on its functioning on Ubuntu Touch can be posted in this thread. I will do my best to help where possible. Questions on Syncthing in general are better posted on their support forum.

Hi. I got my Volla now for some hours. I'm working with Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) for >10 years now, but I cannot achieve anything on this system.

No sftp connection, no file sync, no root access. Even the owncloud app doesn't connect to my server. The only thing I can do, is going to the internet and surf on websites. But that's it.

The file manager doesn't show any buttons to connect to a remote device. Where are the cloud apps and all the connection and remote tools I'm used to work with on my other systems?

Lalle

so in my ppsspp webserver and a few other apps there is a bug like on the ppsspp when the intro animation end and is supposed to switch to the main ui it will hang until you unfocus the app and then refocus it ...same with opening webpages on the webserver app ....its got me stumped any ideas? ...its not like a super big deal cause the apps work but its still annoying

Is there anyway to do this?

If so, how?

Hi, I did some experimenting and now I cannot install UT on my 6t. All installation guides(that I tried) presume that you have >android 9 installed on the device.

Guys, how likely is it to port Ubuntu Touch to the Jelly Max?
What is missing right now? I’m convinced that this very compact and convenient device deserves a port, but it’s not that simple.

With respect, tr4in33

I have been looking into improving energy consumption recently. There's capacity to greatly improve the battery life from switching off features on a device. On my FP5 I can consume overnight ~30% battery with all features on, WiFi, BT, Location, NFC, 5G, device locked. Compared to 2% with only 2G enabled and device locked.

This has had me looking into shell scripts on the forum and the battery-saver app from open-store.
I'm looking for something light that would just disable all these features without going into each option and then restore everything back as I had it.

To me this seems like something that should be included into a toggle on the Battery pull-down menu itself, much like most modern devices have a "low power mode".
How feasible would a toggle option to disable all these power hungry features and set the radio to the most energy efficient available in your location. Then toggling back would restore what you had previous. It seems like something the OS should provide and not additional apps.

Is this something people would want to use from the OS itself rather than additional possibly more flexible unconfined apps?

I would say being part of the OS leaves scope for more battery saving options if it was to be taken further as the OS matures, maybe scheduler tweaks or manual display brightness settings for example. But keeping everything a simple toggle for the UX.

i made myself a xmr miner uses supportxmr.pool ...im getting about 213 hases on my xaiomi redmi note 9 pro ...i got screenshot from running on desktop so the miner wont run as its built for arm but its pretty sweet shows your accepted share hash rate and total pool balance

ill post for testing as i test more over the next day or so make sure everything isnt totally broken you enter your address and it mines easy peasy my wallet is the donation address if you dont enter a address and simply press mine it will mine to the donation wallet also you can turn off donations in the settings unlike other phone mining apps i wont force anyone to do that ...always hated that actually

my bad i forgot to post this lol

Hi,
Currently running 24.04-1 on the daily channel.
Latest update (24.04-12026-04-24)

This appears to have caused an issue with the triangular signal strength indicator which may sometimes briefly show a weak signal but it reverts to a blank very quickly and then that's it. The phone works receiving and sending calls and sms and also cellular data. It appears to be just the signal indicator malfunctioning.

Any one else have this issue?

so as im porting a ton of software i got like A TON of side projects for unbuntu touch including a new open source skyrim engine but its not been easy even using AI im basically backwards engineering the creation engine from scratch ....but if i can get skyrim i can get fallout 4 and some other games ....everything im doing might start out a little broken but ill always come back around to it eventually we now have a working psp emulator i got slated winulator as welll and a few others ...im going to be doing both confined and unconfined clickables ...what do we need? ...i have alot of tools coming as well im just trying to get alot of bigger projects out of the way ...also i need stop creating new projects lol if i can get done before jesus comes back ubuntu touch will be well rounded but some things i gotta kinda hack the crap out of for example my archive manager "xfiles" ...is basically useless unless i ignore the UT app conventions ...im not having any luck with contenthub as far as sharing with other apps another thing im doing is im eventually gonna gather all UT in one folder and make it all streamlined and updated when i do this i also wanna bring it to ubuntu what is it on now 26.X? im hoping the x86 build once i get is working solid will help with development ....also ubport ubuntu touch idea ....fork the x86 version keep it confined rebrand it for "steam os" and send a copy to steam and ask for some money? ....would fit the anti-cheat needs and fill a gap for linux gaming ...and with then convergence just makes sense for something like that considering handhelds ....could be a good idea? .....imagine what this would do for base UT awareness and community

Hello UBports people,

I have been using a Oneplus 5T as my daily driver for years now - big thanks to everyone that contributes!

Since the update to 24.04, some core apps have stopped working on my device. Calendar, clock and notes will open to the splash screen but then just load indefinitely. All other core apps work fine, but not having a clock app is pretty annoying! Plus, I had lots of notes that I would like to be able to access.

I have tried reinstalling with the UBports installer and updating between different channels. If I uninstall, then the apps can no longer be installed from the app store. I have lost clock and notes entirely this way.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks

Hi,

I've noticed that whenever starting an Xmir app (even a confined and suspended one), then lomiri starts to use a lot of CPU ( 70-80% in my vollaphone ), even if the app itself does not do anything and that the phone is suspended. (Also the app itself does not seem to be really suspended but in any case its cpu usage is generally very low in comparison to lomiri)

It applies to uWolf and Signal-desktop.

I'm not sure if this is the right place de report and hopefully Mir2.0 will solve this problem by removing the necessity to use Xmir.

Hi,

Just wanted to mention that I contacted the in-development French identity mobile app, to ask them for interoperability, and remind them their duty to make sure public service is available for everybody, and that their role was not to enforce the choice of mobile OS of their citizens.

https://france-identite.gouv.fr/

Surprisingly I got a pretty open and positive reply, apologizing that their app was not compatible with my OS (Ubuntu Touch), and saying they shared the goal of interoperability, and would study that with the development team what was possible. I did not expect such a positive answer, although I don't know if anything concrete will get out of this.

As a side note I wonder why for this kind of app, with a real need of interoperability, they don't use more Qt, because from what I understand Qt allows to develop apps for Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux desktop, Linux mobile (Ubuntu Touch, Sailfishos, Mobian, postMarketOs, pureOs, ect...), all at once, with only few custom things to go for each platform. Any thoughts on that?

In efforts of updating device information on devices.ubuntu-touch.io, I'd like to know what all changes have fp3 users seen in focal and noble (in context to the listings on the main website). Is there anything that used to work but doesn't anymore? Or something that works now which didn't previously? Also is volte working?

thankss!

Hi,

I am working on a port for the Lenovo Tab M8 HD, and I would like to get some feed back.

Working: Wifi, GPS, sensors, back light, display rotation, ADB, ssh

More testing needed: Bluetooth (can connect to devices), audio (YouTube videos play fine), camera (can take photos with both cameras)

Not tested yet: waydroid, libertine, vpn

Not working: tap to wake

The port is for the TB-8505F model only. Before installing make sure that you can reinstall Android in case something goes wrong. The easiest way is to use the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant, however that tool is only available on Windows.

To install:

• Download latest artifacts.zip from https://gitlab.com/redstar-team/ubports/lenovo-tab-m8/lenovo-tab-m8/-/artifacts, and unpack it
• Unlock bootloader, and enter fastboot mode
• Flash the downloaded files:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system ubuntu.img
fastboot -w

• Restart into Ubuntu Touch

fastboot reboot

There is no recovery image yet, same with the dtbo image. Detailed install instructions are on my TODO list.

Have fun!
Kai

Hello,
how can I export my notes from phone (from the Notes app)? It is somehow with the syncevolution --export, like for the contacts or calendar?

I have Ubuntu 16.04, OTA-12 on my phone.

Good morning as a newbee,
is there anybody who already tried out a Lenovo Miix 320, coming from Win10?
For now i use Lubuntu but the touch and the Monitor automatic switch wont work.

Bogi

I've noticed the "Network" tray icon gets broken after screen lock:

What could be causing this?
