With #UbuntuTouch on Lenovo Tab M8 with google maps in morph browser I actually get the "Layers" button that can enable the 3D Globe view. Google usually doesn't want you to have that in a mobile browser because... actually I have no idea why.

Just got my first mobile device migrated from Android to Ubuntu Touch.

I was expecting this Sunday project to take a few hours, but it didn't take even one. 👏 👏

Let's see what it has to offer and how it holds up in the coming weeks.

spent hours trying to port #meshy to #ubuntutouch i might need more time and coffee or buy claude subscription, since its free version has gave me best ideas today (compared to free models or gemini or my brain)

#UbuntuTouch

I installed #UbuntuTouch on an old Moto Z2/Nash I've had sitting around. I had originally looked at postmarketOS, but it didn't have a lot of things working on the phone, and that port looks abandoned.

The Nash port for UT is also abandoned but it has most things working. I'm pretty impressed with it. Not enough to make it a daily driver, without Signal support especially. However there is an app for that in newer versions of UT.

I hope to make this part of my #homelab, though I haven't decided what to put on it yet.

Right now it's mainly convinced me that I'd like to have a #Linux phone for my daily driver at some point. That would go a long way to divesting me from big tech.

Back in ~2016, I installed #UbuntuTouch on my Google Nexus 6 (2013). Some apps didn't run and there was poor documentation, so I abandoned the project.

This weekend, Ubuntu finally closed the no-documentation bug. Yes, ten years later! I must have been subscribed to the bug. My email got flooded by ex-Ubuntu engineers reminiscing about the project.

This caught the attention of the tech press!

@wild1145 There is now a working native app for #UBports #UbuntuTouch in the Open Store, called Mastodon Native. So that's one issue resolved.

@RachelThornSub
@linmob
I found it a little bit more fiddly (than on #UbuntuTouch) to get Waydroid working in #PostmarketOS but this wiki page was helpful:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Waydroid

After that, downloading the #fdroid apk and installing AuroraStore was plain sailing. So in short AuroraStore is already supported (in a way, i.e. in an Android container) in Linux on mobile devices.

@RachelThornSub
AuroraStore works fine in Waydroid on Ubuntu Touch. I installed it using #fdroid

Would you like to test a new version of PodCat?
-Don't use it on your main installation (it will update DataBase version)
-Create a backup of your DataBase if it's not your first instal·lation on device (under ~/.local/share/podcat.cibersheep/Databases)

What is to test?
- Daily use: Add podcast, update, download episode, listen to episodes not downloaded, etc

@ubports #UbuntuTouch #PodCat

Vos ho diré també per aquí :D
Estic a punt de publicar nova versió de PodCat per s' #UbuntuTouch i necessit testers:

-No l'utilitzeu a la instal·lació principal (actualitzarà la versió de la base de dades).
-Creeu una còpia de seguretat de la vostra base de dades (~/.local/share/podcat.cibersheep/Databases).

Què provar?
-Ús diari: afegir podcast, actualitzar, descarregar episodis, escoltar episodis no descarregats, etc.

@hanscees Where is #ubuntutouch? 🤔

Anfangs fand ich die Idee von Bluecode ansprechend, doch bei genauerer Betrachtung sticht etwas Störendes ins Auge.
Bluecode wirbt stark mit europäischer Unabhängigkeit und der Abkehr von „Big Tech" sowie internationalen Kreditkarten. Doch die technische Umsetzung zeigt eine entscheidende Lücke: Die App funktioniert ausschließlich auf Android und iOS. Damit bleiben Nutzer von Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch oder PostmarketOS ausgeschlossen. Eine „emulierte" Nutzung über Tools wie Waydroid ist für den Alltag kaum praktikabel.
Echte digitale Souveränität darf nicht von proprietären Plattformen (Google/Apple) abhängig sein. Eine Zahlungslösung, die eine Alternative zum Silicon-Valley-Mainstream sein will, sollte offene Ökosysteme und interoperable Standards unterstützen, statt sie auszuschließen.
Solange das nicht passiert, bleibt das Versprechen unvollständig.

Upgraded #postmarket OS to version 26.06 (edge) with Gnome 50, on a OnePlus 6T.

The Camera app is now marginally better. In particular, switching between the 3 cameras, and the front (user-facing) camera now works in monochrome - not weird violet-pink as it was in v. 24.04.

Still not as good as cameras in #UbuntuTouch (or Android), but a welcome step forwards!

I just upgraded my UbuntuTouch phone operating system on my FairPhone4. 4G voLTE and 5G is working. I can't describe how cool this is. I've been living with 2G for the past 2 or 3 years.

I love the UbuntuTouch team. Thank you. Thank you.

Fiven that Google has decided to "boil the frog" by slowly closing off Android, with a significant move towards this happening this September, and given that might impact the development of degoogled AOSP ROM's as well, I've been testing out Ubuntu Touch as a daily driver once again.

I used "UT" as my mobile OS on my daily drivers from 2018-2022, but then carriers in the USA required VoLTE to make calls, which UT did not suppprt at the time. But the past year VoLTE support was added to a number of devices, and tons of other improvements have been made recently for the latest 24.04.2 I am testing now, and which should be released to the public soon. There are a few issies which make this not quite as easy to use as my Android phone still, but grateful for the devs at UBports & the UT community for how many fixes & new features have added in the past few months.

Tonight in "nerdy shit"™ I'm switching my "phone which lives behind the cupboard which exists to keep my #WhatsApp account active" from a #Fairphone3 (with no camera and a smashed screen) to a #Nexus5 (with a smashed screen, released 2015?), sooooo that I can try installing #UbuntuTouch on the #Fairphone3! 🤓

would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS

*Termux @termux
pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
then proot-distro login --isolated debian
su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config

* #Oniux --> E0560

* Arti --> works great. Have not noticed any "anti-effects." Also works on #Alpine / #PostmarketOS in Termux tests.

* apkeep #EFF https://www.eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install

* network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console

In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.

Lilbits: F-Droid warns that Google’s plans for Android could doom FOSS app stores, there’s a new Kindle jailbreak, and Microsoft is bringing “vibe working” to MS Office

Unlike Apple, Google has always made it relatively easy for users to install Android apps from sources other than the company’s official app store. But recently the company announced that it will block installation of apps that come from unverified developers – basically developers who are unwilling or unable to verify their identity with Google for one reason or another.

While Google is […]

While this is a relatively minor update, it does add official support for a new device: the $199 Rabbit R1 handheld AI gadget. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/ubuntu-touch-20-04-ota-10-release-3972 #UbuntuTouch #MobileLinux #RabbitR1

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]
