[00:06] @Mattia990, Share it on xiaomi communites. They have some pretty big fanboys that are also powerusers or at least are trting to be :) [00:07] Thank you for your work! [00:15] status of andbox on ut 16.04 rc [00:26] It's not part of the RC. Follow news channel and Q&As for updates [01:28] Gabriel Goulart was added by: Gabriel Goulart [01:49] ¿Cómo hacer para que los desarrolladores de UBports añadan soporte a nuevos modelos de celular? … Tengo un Samsung Lite... [02:03] no es algo así como "pedir" un nuevo modelo de celular... El trabajo de portar un teléfono por lo general es de bastantes meses y sin garantía de éxito. … No obstante hay un proyecto que se llama Halium. Con Halium se pretende facilitar el trabajo de portar nuevos dispositivos aunque no conozco muy bien los detalles [02:09] @cc4rll0s, Carlos, recordá que este es el grupo en inglés; tenemos otro en español también... [02:28] @Gorsh2, I didn`t realized that. Sorry. 😅😓 [02:55] @Xray2000, FaceBook watching your money is exactly like theif being made CEO of a bank ... … It make absolutely zero sense even to a crazy man. … I don't even have Facebook installed on my phone anymore. … Don't trust FB at all.... [02:56] -> @ubports_ot [04:03] Dmitry B was added by: Dmitry B [04:34] I have a redmi 2 prime / wt88047 and if anyone has a port of Ubuntu touch for it, please share [05:44] KfGwXppI74 was added by: KfGwXppI74 === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [06:41] I know that is so expensive, but I think that buying a supported second hand phone is a better aproach to ubports. [06:42] For example I buid a second hand Nexus 5 and Ubports works like a charm in it. [06:42] (I bought, sorry for my so bad English) [06:43] @Mattia990, Oh that's great, well done! There seem to be a lot of people coming to the group looking for Xiaomi ports. [06:52] Hi, ubports support whatsdapp? [06:53] @Andreaussi, No [07:31] Jay McCann was added by: Jay McCann [08:17] @Andreaussi, At some point, there will be Anbox. But even then we won't 'support' WhatsApp 😂 [08:25] Whatsapp won't support ubports is what the main problem is :) [08:29] Is there any technical reason Whatsapp couldn't work on ubports or is it just that they won't without a big enough market share? [08:33] telegram and matrix work just fine; i'm assuming it's the low market share [08:38] It's just annoying because everybody seems to use whatsapp instead on sms now (in my experience) [08:41] yeah, even when i prefer matrix for several reason there's still a crowd of people out there. I hope anbox will make it somewhat-usable [08:44] @JasonMD, I have had success persuading friends and family to use Signal. That works well with UT [08:50] hmm forgot about signal, I'll take a look, won't be able to get everyone to change.. [08:54] @JasonMD, If Facebook can't spy & track & milk the user, they are not interested in such user running privacy minded clients. … That's why, from a technical point of view, they block all the third-parties efforts in such direction [08:55] Ah right [08:58] That makes more sense [09:25] Hi. Can you ad Navigation Buttons (Cursor left, right,...) and Copy and Paste Buttons at the Keyboard, please. I have " Wurstfinger" (thick fingers). [09:28] Long press on the space bar opens the edit cursor [09:28] @toam_n, Hold down on space bar to get cursor movement [09:28] 😊 [09:29] ahem 😂 [09:30] Sorry, dont work. The Keyboard changed to a blank Keyboard [09:31] ok! i got it [09:31] yeah, don't lift your finger and drag ;) [09:31] 👍 [09:31] Tanks! [09:31] Welcome [09:32] You made my life easier [09:33] Sorry, i mean Thanks! Not Panzer [09:33] @padraic7a, Thank you! [09:35] So, i would like to have a copy and paste move! :) [09:43] think of a possible way on how to implement that and create an issue...you never know, someone might implement it [09:44] @toam_n, But Panzer Girls is a great show. :) [09:45] Fwd from dohbee: But Panzer Girls is a great show. :) [09:45] @dohbee, I like it too [09:49] if I were a panzer girl , I would probably go to this school: Schwarzwaldgipfel-Mädchenschule [09:50] based on my home country. [09:54] in the 90' i read the Tank Girl Comics. [09:55] 'Slightly' off topic 😉 [10:00] Its strongly off topic :) [10:02] mmm, yeah, i don't think that anime features ubuntu/unity in it :) === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [10:02] The Tanks run with Ubuntu Linux ;) [10:05] I just realized why you mentioned Panzer … I remember Panzer Front for PS1 LOL … offtopic :) [10:06] Thanks > Tanks = in german Panzer [10:07] Oh, you played games on the SuperFamicom with CD Driv. ;) [10:08] sorry. there's @ubports_ot for off topic chat, if you want to continue the discussion :) [10:09] DjyHMpxW92 was added by: DjyHMpxW92 [10:11] And Now for Something completky different: … Can we implement a Keyboard layout in the OS wide Layout (English, German, ...)like the Terminal Keyboard ? [10:14] i'm not sure i understand the question exactly. Terminal relies on the system OSK [10:15] With this solutation, you can switch everywhere from normal layout to the Interface navigation with commands layout [10:16] oh, you're asking for the command key features in terminal app, to be merged to the OSK? [10:18] i have the problem, my fingertips are damaged. and the screen of my nexus 5 is small. the Keyboard buttons are small. [10:18] @dohbee, yes, sir [10:19] yes, i would say there are certainly some accessibility issues in various parts of UT, including the keyboard [10:19] i'm not sure adding the full command key stuff from terminal app makes sense, though [10:20] but if you could, please open an issue at https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch describing the issues you're facing (please describe the problems, rather than suggested solutions) [10:21] i dont want the full Kommandos [10:21] commands [10:21] i know [10:22] i think about a solution for me and other peaple with fingertips handycap abd small screens. :) [10:22] but a vague feature request, rather than a description of a problem, may be interpreted wrongly and lead to overly complex implementations (c.f. MS Office) [10:24] which is why it's better to describe the problems, and then later have a discussion about solutions with developers/designers, and trust that they can do the right thing :) [10:24] ok. tank you! [10:25] i think so. yoe, the devs and peaple around UBports are my heroes. [10:26] with your work, i can live slightly in freedom [10:27] :) [10:28] sorry for my bad english. my school l teacher was not good in english. [10:29] no problem [10:30] Dankeschön! [10:31] there's also @UBports_Deutsch if you wish to join the German speaking group :) [10:31] im in it too [10:31] great 👍 [10:33] Have a nice day. Thank you for all the fish. ;) [10:33] cheers [10:34] Im goibg to my desk and think about the number 42 [10:39] Dalpat Singh was added by: Dalpat Singh [10:41] Hey guys... joined this group for first time, interested in porting ubuntu touch on samsung devices [10:43] Welcom Dalpat! That is fantastic to hear! Have a look at https://ubports.com/page/telegram-welcome to get started in this community. For porting, you are looking for the Halium project in particular. [10:44] ...which isn't directly linked there. [10:45] https://t.me/halium [10:45] @peternerlich, Thankyou. I read about it on official wiki. Looks complicated, but I have a spare galaxy note 4 therefore I will surely try to port :) [10:46] Perfect. Have a good stay and good luck! [10:47] 🤠 [13:12] mr_annonymouss was added by: mr_annonymouss [13:13] Any one send me the link for Ubuntu Nexus 5 [13:14] Download [13:15] the supported devices list is in the group description, and that page has instructions on how to install [13:15] it is not an Android ROM, so you cannot download a zip and install via TWRP, if that's what you're asking for [13:16] Yes [13:16] Then how do i [13:17] Install [13:19] You look at the group description, follow the link and follow the instructions. [13:20] https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ is how [13:29] Ubport installer is enough to install. Ubuntu on bexuw 5 [13:30] *Nexus 5 [13:30] Or any external files needed to download [13:30] yes [13:30] you need to have adb/fastboot installed [13:30] and bootloader needs to be unlocked [13:30] I don't have Ubuntu in pc [13:30] Windows only I have [13:31] it runs on windows. you need to install the google adb driver package [13:31] @dohbee, Already unlocked [13:31] Now I am running custom rom [13:31] Just tell me step [13:32] Through window [13:32] S [13:32] follow the instructions on the web site [13:32] It has only through Ubuntu [13:32] When you get to "install ubuntu touch" select "WIndows" [13:33] Ok then [13:33] @alan_griffiths, U meam ubport installer [13:34] @alan_griffiths [13:37] ?? [13:39] You have been given the links to the UBports installer and the details of how to use it. Please take the time to read that [13:51] jeevanreddy1999 was added by: jeevanreddy1999 [15:22] Okay I think this payday I'm going to order that meizu. [15:23] I found out a family member has AT&T and has an old tablet they don't use much anymore but has a SIM card. They're gonna let me use the card for the phone. [15:27] Does the Signal-app work the same way in UBports as it does in andorid (so that it can become the standard sms-app). I'm currently using Signal on my Android-phone and would like to continue doing so. [15:27] No, it is a separate app [15:27] SMS still comes through Messaging [15:28] Someone on here once told me that there was some form if it that works on there though [15:28] I'm not sure if Signal for UT can be used on the same account as Signal for Android... I don't think that the system is set up for that [15:28] It's worth a try though [15:28] Could the electron app that works on ubuntu desktop work? [15:29] No, there is a native app. [15:32] oh okay nice [15:32] @UniversalSuperBox, OK - just to be clear: Are you saying that my current signal app, that I've opted for as "default text-message app", is still running via the sms-service, or just that it will only be able to function in that way on UB? [15:32] *UT [15:34] @lindisfarne, I think he's saying that sms will function on the phone but signal won't [15:34] Signal will get Signal messages, Messaging will get SMS and MMS messages [15:34] ohhh so it'd be just another messenger, not 2in1? [15:34] Correct. [15:34] my bad. Not optional but I could live with that [15:35] Currently there is no way to hook into SMS on UT. Only the built-in app can receive those messages. [15:36] understood. What's standing in the way of tieing them together? [15:36] The ability to receive messages from anything except the Messages app [15:36] There is no API for it [15:38] ah okay [15:42] Thank you for the reply. Fingers crossed that one day it will work on UT too :) [16:06] @UniversalSuperBox, and IMO, there shouldn't be. that's exactly how FB ends up reading all your messages that aren't on FB too [16:18] that said the opposite would be usefull :^3 [16:34] 仰望星空 was added by: 仰望星空 [16:51] Does anyone know if the Fairphone2 supports these frequencies: … HSPA network on the 1700 and 2100 MHz frequencies, also known as AWS or Band 4. AWS-3 or Band 66 frequency. … When I put the SIM in FP2 it only connects to roaming networks. [16:52] @exar_kun, https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/ARX3x/fairphone-2-fp2-dual-sim-lte [16:53] so "nope" [16:53] @dohbee, Ok. Thanks for translating. I had trouble making sure. [17:06] Also: is there a good way to save the contacts from my android phone so I can get them on the other phone with UBT? [17:07] I haven't tried lately, but I think that we have import of .vcf files [17:07] @UniversalSuperBox, we do [17:07] In Android you can go to Settings from the Contacts app and export a .vcf file [17:07] Then put that file on your UT device, open it with the File Manager and send it to the Contacts app [17:07] In Android contacts app you can export vcard (vcf) [17:08] Oh, you were faster [17:08] Ok. Any links on a how-to for the not-so-tech-savvy? [17:09] Ah, cheers for the reply Dalton. Didn't see that before. [17:09] Great chat with so many helpful people! [17:09] :D [17:16] @UniversalSuperBox, I am also not sure but I think the bestvway would be to create an account in UT, then have Android as second device, rather than the other way round [17:19] @lindisfarne, If you saved to SIM you should be able to recover those [17:20] @UniversalSuperBox, [Edit] I am also not sure but I think the best way would be to create an account in UT, then have Android as second device, rather than the other way round [17:24] Jimmy Otica was added by: Jimmy Otica [17:24] @Stereofont, that loses 90% of the details, and creates duplicates if contacts have more than 1 number, plus you can only store 200 or something, on the SIM [17:24] or maybe less. i forget exact number [17:28] True. But it is simple 😊 [17:29] @Stereofont, simple would be just having your contacts in google, and signing into your account on UT, and letting them sync [17:30] which, if you're a non-technical user, you've probably already got them synced to google anyway [17:41] which is not gonna fly with google ehehehe [17:41] btw since i heard the term hdmi-cec yesterday i've been reminded of one part of convergence we haven't heard about in a while "Ubuntu TV" [17:41] flees [17:41] there is no ubuntu tv [17:45] Ubuntu on an intel compute stick with kodi? I guess [17:47] ubuntu TV was based on Unity 7 right? [17:47] no [17:47] @dohbee, Nextcloud is another contacts sync mechanism not yet mentioned but more for advanced users admittedly [17:50] @Javacookies, the demoware might have been, but if things went anywhere, it would have been unity8 too [17:50] yeah I meant the ones they showed in the public [17:50] but it was all very demoware [17:51] but CES2012 we were still doing ubuntu one file sync, with music store and stuff [17:51] I guess Canonical likes announcing things in demoware state LOL [17:52] ohw it wasn't even a prototype hmmm [17:52] @Javacookies, everyone does [17:52] Yes, the announcement was "here's this technology opportunity, partner with us and we'll help you select the hardware and build the software." [17:52] We announced Anbox support before it existed [17:52] So [17:53] yeah [17:53] Nobody was willing to put a powerful processor or enough memory into a TV to run it. So they didn't partner with anyone. [17:53] @Javacookies, Erm. Samsung… [17:53] i was thinking the ubuntu tv interface could allow browsing media with a TV remote [17:53]
