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)

I què? Una partideta? Nova versió milloradissíssima :D

#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!

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (34/2026): Amazing Progress

@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.

We had a blast at #FROSCON! Thank you to all that came out to have a chat, try out #ubuntutouch, and grab some stickers. Thanks also to FrOSCon and the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences for hosting!

@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.

ICYMI: Ubuntu Touch's latest update modernised the default web browser – jumping from Chromium 87 - 131.

Plus, it now lets you print from your phone, handles camera notches and bags a built-in screenshot editor.

Banks and other public services must not become the bottleneck for more and better freedom of mobile choice.

If policy supported Apple and Android for 15 years, it can support more platforms or, better, platform-independent access.
