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

Ubuntu Touch update brings better support for modern smartphones & web apps

Ubuntu Touch is a mobile Linux distribution designed to run on smartphones and tablets. But since the project was abandoned by Canonical, it’s been maintained by a relatively small team of volunteers at UBPorts, so the list of officially supported devices is fairly small, and major updates don’t come around all that often. But Ubuntu […]

📱 Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 a fost lansat: Navigare web mai rapidă și suport pentru imprimare!

A fost lansată o nouă versiune majoră de mentenanță pentru Ubuntu Touch (sistemul de operare mobil bazat pe Noble Numbat), aducând îmbunătățiri importante de performanță, funcționalități noi și un suport extins pentru dispozitive.

✨ Principalele noutăți din Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0:

🌐 Actualizare majoră pentru Browser:
• Browserul nativ Morph a primit un upgrade important al motorului web, oferind o viteza mai mare de încărcare a paginilor, o mai bună redare a aplicațiilor web (PWA) și un consum redus de energie.

🖨️ Suport nativ pentru Imprimare:
• Utilizatorii pot acum conecta și trimite documente la imprimante din rețeaua locală direct de pe telefon sau tabletă, mulțumită integrării serviciilor CUPS.

🔋 Gestionare mai bună a bateriei și fiabilitate:
• Optimizări ale consumului în modul standby și stabilitate crescută a conexiunilor Wi-Fi și Bluetooth pe mai multe modele de telefoane.

📲 Extinderea suportului pentru dispozitive:

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.

Installing Touch through #ubports is stupid easy these days. 5 mins from start to finish to revive this old Oneplus 5T

#ubuntutouch #oneplus

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.

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.
