[00:47] @wayneoutthere, Another person said in one of the groups that Kodi has in fact mir backend, so there you go. … You can also install the gtk backend kodi and use it via xmir, BUT the video will be non-accellerated that way so not really usable. This is perhaps going to be no longer an issue after either xmir accellerated g [00:47] raphics are fixed on ARM, or when xwayland replaces xmir and ships with accelerated graphics.

Is there anyone I could speak to about how could I contribute to this interesting project? I have read everything on the web, but feel like I learned nothing - I just feel like speaking to someone who has been here for a while would be the best option 😁 [07:02] Ramasai was added by: Ramasai [07:02] Hello [07:02] Can anyone tell me how to port Ubuntu touch os [07:04] Micromax a103 is my phone === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [07:11] I think There is a need of some helpful video tutorials about porting [07:12] Ya [07:12] But I got link on porting [07:13] Its good but as I'm a beginner it's not helping me😒 === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [07:31] @Ramasai, Mediatek soc [07:31] I don't think you really can [07:31] Oh [07:32] But I'll try [07:32] 😁 [08:24] Hehe, just bumped into this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mhall119/uphone/ (pretty old, from 06-Dec-2011). Did they plan Ubuntu Phone back then already or was this to be just some Android launcher? [08:24] @zubozrout, They planned Ubuntu Touch back in 2009 [08:26] just what "ubuntu touch" was supposed to actually be changed over time [08:32] @Jakub Hanzlík, (I like a lot of people here have no "official capacity" here. I just help out when I see some issue going by that I have the interest, knowledge, skills and time to address.) … If you are interested in some specific aspect of the project and/or have particular knowledge or skills and/or useful resources [08:32] to offer then that would indicate an appropriate way to contribute. [08:36] @Jakub Hanzlík, Join Welcome & Install group [08:39] @Ramasai, Android 2.2 based? [08:39] @Stereofont, Ahhh ahhh😂 [08:40] @CapraNorvegese, Not funny but certainly problematic [08:41] @Stereofont, Like nexus 5x [08:41] Not funny at all [08:43] As has been said before, a device should be selected for porting for some clear reason. 'Having that device' is not really a clear reason [08:43] Hmmm, so MTK SoCs are not portable? I built a few ROMs before, though I still consider myself a total beginner [08:48] There are UT devices on MTK but those were first ported by Canonical, with source access [08:49] Without that, really not possible [08:51] hello all, i have a question, and i hope it is not an offtopic. I am using nexus 5 with ubports, and when i plug the charger, the battery icon changes, but in 2 seconds it returns to non-charging battery icon, and the mobile does not charge any more. I have tried with 3 differents batteries and the same happens. I have also change [08:51] d the charging module from another nexus 5 and the problem still occurs. Does anyone know about this issue? Thank you!!! [08:52] @asierurbi, Tried a different USB cable? [08:53] @Stereofont Regarding the porting, what's the best device to port UT to? I expect something that has official LineageOS support could make things easier. Then it should not be MTK. Any other factors? [08:54] hello @alan_griffiths , I forgot to tell that i have tried several usb cable and chargers [08:55] Oh, but if you have 1 MTK phone running UT, then its really simple to get it running on another x devices with the same soc. and theres no way getting sources from Mediatek? [08:59] @asierurbi, I've a Nexus 5 but only seen this as a result of a loose or faulty USB cable. I can only guess that the socket in your phone is faulty. (Maybe it just needs cleaning.) [09:02] @alan_griffiths, i also have changed the socket from another n5 and same error 😭 [09:02] maybe also use different adapters (the part that goes in the wall socket) maybe the phone is not accepting the voltage? (no idea if n5 does that) [09:05] @YougoChats, i am using the same adapters from the beginning [09:06] @zubozrout, We had a discussion about RAM. Although there are devices running with 1Gb that is not optimal and unless you want also to develop a 'UT lite' the threshold is around 1.5Gb [09:06] @Stereofont Also, if you want to break language barrier for Czechia (I think we have a solid Ubuntu community) I could definitely work on translations [09:06] If you want convergence, a slimport is ideal [09:07] Jakub There would be quite a few places Czech translations could be imrpoved :). But I am not sure if translations acre currently possible. [09:07] [Edit] Jakub There would be quite a few places Czech translations could be improved :). But I am not sure if translations acre currently possible. [09:07] [Edit] Jakub There would be quite a few places Czech translations could be improved :). But I am not sure if translations are currently possible. [09:07] @Jakub Hanzlík, We have Czech mostly? [09:07] Whooops [09:07] @Stereofont, Haha no it's KitKat [09:08] @Jakub Hanzlík, You could join the language group [09:09] I was looking for it on the web. Didnt notice it. Sorry. [09:09] Yeah, it's not here: https://ubports.com/community/get-involved/focus-languagetranslation [09:09] @Ramasai, Halium is 5, 6 and 7 I think? Check out Halium [09:13] @zubozrout, UT doesn't use a physical button. A small point but maybe a device without one? Also of course no 'notch' [09:14] What halium [09:14] ? [09:15] The impression I get is 2 people posting the same phone is good for morale and problem solving. Having 7 people is bad. Imagine that many people working on one oil painting… Ego and detail get in the way [09:16] Hugo Venhorst: … if you have questions while porting, you may ask them in the Halium porting group: https://t.me/halium [09:18] sorry what? i'm not porting, nor have questions about it currently, but thanks? [09:23] @zubozrout, Mhm, where can I join then? [09:23] @Jakub Hanzlík, I don't know either :( [09:24] @Stereofont Regarding the Telegram language group, which one is that please? [09:27] @Jakub Hanzlík, Can you make a username in Telegram? Allows invites and pings [09:28] @Stereofont, Done. [09:28] @zubozrout, Seems like we have enough for a Czech group? [09:31] Well, I thought there is some global translation group here but if not then I only know of 3 people from the Czech Republich beign on UT Telegram now. [09:31] [Edit] Well, I thought there is some global translation group here but if not then I only know of 3 people from the Czech Republich being on UT Telegram now. [09:32] [Edit] Well, I thought there is some global translation group here but if not then I only know of 3 people from the Czech Republic being on UT Telegram now. [09:33] [Edit] Well, I thought there is some global translation group here but if not then I only know of 3 people (including me) from the Czech Republic being on UT Telegram now. [09:33] @zubozrout, I added Jakub [09:34] Three is enough to begin a group [09:34] hehe, will have to do, yes :) [09:34] Will chat with Milan later [09:34] Language groups often grow fast [09:35] There is at least one Slovak [09:35] In that case could you please send me the link to that group as well? [09:36] oh, we can merge Czech and Slovak together ... we are used to that :) [09:37] @zubozrout, That group is for langauge leaders. Again, wait for Milan and we will sort out roles properly 😃 [09:37] @zubozrout, [Edit] That group is for language leaders. Again, wait for Milan and we will sort out roles properly 😃 [09:37] aha, ok - didn't know :). Thanks [09:39] Scandinavian group even includes Icelandic 😏 [09:40] Oh, that's one group for all 4 languages? [09:40] Yes [09:41] Well, at least Czech and Slovak are relatively close so that we understand each other with little or no issues :) [09:42] Icelandic is really quite distant [09:43] Yeah, I'd guess so :) [11:24] 😱blue text... must... not ...click mind strong... body weak [11:32] @zubozrout, didn't y'all have a war to stop doing that? ;) [11:33] @dohbee What? Here? I don't think so. That was Yugoslavia afaik [11:34] @zubozrout, Existing LineageOS port is a good reference, because it means kernel source and device tree are available, so should be fairly simple to get halium working on it, and the hardware should be mostly working. [11:34] @zubozrout, yeah, splitting Czechoslovakia into Czech Republic and Slovakia [11:35] This was a political decision in 1992, but no war fortunately :) [11:35] ah, right [11:36] so much going on in eastern europe in 80s-90s, my brain ends up blurring some of them together sometimes :) [11:37] Imaging living there 😃 [11:39] british people today can relate i think [11:39] well at least nobody got thrown out a window this time [11:40] @popescu_sorin, some of the Balkan states are quite nice actually. i could definitely live there [11:44] @popescu_sorin, especially in my country......Romania is the best country to live if you have a lots of euros if you have only lei is fucked up [11:56] @dohbee, I really recommend you to not call czechs "eastern europe" 😹 [11:57] @Ramasai, If it's Android 4.2+ and you have kernel sources, device/vendor trees, etc… it should be portable. If there's no kernel sources and device/vendor trees, you can't port it [12:23] @YougoChats, . [12:23] @YougoChats Exactly why I did that [12:26] Iamclown was added by: Iamclown [12:26] Mother fucking group with mother fuckers [12:38] Hi Guy's i got today my Oneplus one now i have a wierd problem when i install dev/16.04 it install and boots then you see install updates but after some time it go to ubports recovery... ? [12:42] @dohbee, Yeah mine is 4.4 so call you please tell me the procedure [12:42] 1.update kernel … 2.update DT … 3.make changes to vendor [12:43] 😢I'm kinda new to this [12:43] But want to try it [12:44] A bit more clarity would be helpful [12:44] @Xray2000, Really strange, have you tried to reinstall? [12:45] @Ramasai, what is your soc [12:45] check in cpu-z (it's in googleplay) [12:45] Mediatek [12:45] Mt-6735 [12:45] Right, but there's more to it than that. We're looking for its model number [12:46] @Ramasai, This is it right [12:46] what was the phone again? [12:46] And it only has Android 4.2? No 5.1? [12:46] Sorry wait [12:47] 6572 [12:47] ok [12:48] Does your phone's manufacter provide some open source binaries? [12:49] ExploShotOo was added by: ExploShotOo [12:49] Sorry but how will I check that? [12:50] Give us your phone model and manufacturer [12:50] Micromax A102 [12:51] Mtk chipset [12:51] https://github.com/adi766/kernel_s5201ap_kk [12:51] 6572 [12:51] Apparently there's some source for that one [12:51] So next? [12:51] Thing [12:52] https://github.com/adi766/android_device_Micromax_A102 [12:52] Looks like this guy has done work for that device [12:52] https://github.com/adi766/android_vendor_Micromax_A102 [12:52] Also you'll need to either downgrade it to cm-12.1 or update to lineage 14.1 === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [12:53] Oh [12:53] May I know y? [12:54] Halium is adapted only to these versions [12:54] I don't know what has changed between MM and LP [12:54] Previously I used it with cm [12:54] Should I flash a cm [12:55] Or lineage [12:55] ? [12:55] is there lineage for it...? [12:55] I used rr it's ok right? [12:56] Got it there's a lineage rom [12:56] Sooo if I get a LineageOS or CM, Halium is able to work with that? [12:57] Shall I flash it? [12:58] Link please [13:00] Wait.. Wanted to try to port UT to my device, lucky enough, it has same chipset as your MicroMax [13:00] https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-lineageos-t3598113 [13:02] Ok... sources for this are the links I sent you earlier [13:02] Ok [13:17] @Ramasai, Let me know how it works for you. I think I might be able to use some things from that repo [13:19] Sure [13:19] @kuskus3 [13:29] Welcome @ExploShotOo !!! Check this put for more about UBports https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [15:38] Sorry to be basic but I know there is work being put in to moving to 16.04. is it listed anywhere what the benefits will be? [15:42] @Pete, Benefits are better stability and support (security fixes) by canonical for example [15:43] @Pete, [Edit] Main benefits are better stability and support (security fixes) by canonical for example [15:58] @unknown, Thanks. And how is 16.04 related to the desktop OS...is it the same thing and a matter of making it fit onto mobile? Or pretty different? [16:14] If your asking if it will have the desktop interface on mobile, the answer is no, other than that I don't know [16:19] @UniversalSuperBox @mariogrip Yo! Can we shutdown the phablet git repo yet? :) [16:19] (I am getting pushed by the IS people to shut it down) [16:20] In review after being pushed Wednesday: https://github.com/ubports/android/pull/9 [16:23] Sorry to intrude with this unrelated question but who are IS people? [16:24] My guess is Information Security. [16:24] I totally get the request to shut down Gerrit. [16:24] Oh, ok, thanks :) [16:25] Infrastructure services is what i thought [16:25] 😊 [16:25] @zubozrout, could be ISIS [16:25] ya [16:36] @DanChapman, "Information Systems" iirc [16:37] or better just say "BOFHs" :) [18:03] Does anyone know how translation updates are treated on the stable and devel channels respectively? What is the schedule or what are the deadlines for when they get merged in? [18:05] [Edit] Does anyone know how translation updates are treated on the stable and devel channels, respectively? What is the schedule or what are the deadlines for when they get merged in? [18:06] @aribk, The system translations are part of the rootfs, so "updates" for end users come via the OTAs in that respect. i don't think there is a set schedule with freeze dates and such yet, for getting new OTAs of ubports released, though [18:27] @dohbee, As far as I've understood from the Q&A broadcasts OTA-4 is scheduled for release at the end of June. But perhaps that was tentative? Anyway, I'm interested in getting some things merged in in time for this. [18:28] i think it will be release candidate by end of june, and then hopefully released to stable soon after that [18:29] @aribk, are you asking about updating an existing translation that's selectable on the phone today, or getting new languages made available for use on the phone? [18:30] Updating existing translation. [18:31] ok, i think they've mostly been getting merged automatically via the weblate stuff [18:31] ping @Flohack ^^ [18:32] Thanks! Will do. [18:45] @dohbee, http://translate.ubports.com [18:46] But we are far from having all repos with all branches set up there [18:46] If you are looking for smth specific plz ask me [18:47] thanks @Flohack just wanted to make sure i was giving accurate info to @aribk [18:58] I flashed 16.04 (over 15.10, but with no wipe) on my M10 and got a broken OpenStore (screenshots, but no info). So, I thought I'd try it again (16.04 over 16.04 but with a wipe this time) but the UBports installer can't seem to reboot the device: … Adb failed to reboot!, reboot failed: -1 … (yes, I'm running the latest installe [18:58] r :) ) [18:59] [Edit] I flashed 16.04 (over 15.10, but with no wipe) on my M10 and got a broken OpenStore (screenshots, but no info).

[19:03] @dohbee, Sorry, yes, 15.10 ☺️ [19:05] reboot the phone by hand? i've seen that a couple times just when running `adb reboot` by hand, but i'm not sure what caused it [19:06] @dohbee, Using the power/volume keys? [19:08]
