I’m doing something else right now.], What device you are working on [04:11] @Ozu [What device you are working on], When I do start I’d like to work on my pixel [04:12] The original pixel was really nice. Not too big. Great DAC. [04:12] Gr8.. That phone needs it [04:12] Yeah. I’ve also been meaning to load UT onto my nexus 5 [04:13] Just gotta get it unlocked [04:13] You haven't unlocked it yet ! [04:14] Well, that’s not hard. I have the tools on my desktop. I haven’t used the nexus 5 in 4-5 years [04:15] The battery is pretty screwed so there isn’t a lot of reason to do it other than just checking UT out [04:16] Nexus 5 s are selling at 20 bucks in my neighborhood.. Lol [04:17] Supposedly they’re among the best phones to use with UT [04:17] Yeah .. Normiea don't know the value..lol [04:17] [Edit] Yeah .. Normies … don't know the value..lol [04:18] Haha. True. Great phones. The only thing that always got on my nerves about the nexus 5 is the terrible terrible DAC [04:21] Yeah.. I have heard about it [04:23] hello [04:23] is there a guide for installing ubuntu touch in redmi note 7s [04:24] @just_carlod [and halium-boot for lavendar (redmi note 7)], can u send me a link to download it?

[04:58] @just_carlod [and halium-boot for lavendar (redmi note 7)], How to install this ? Do I need Ubuntu in my pc to flash this ? I tried GSI but if there is no OTA updates it ain't that useful [05:09] @mrbeandev [https://youtu.be/eGjplOtzSFI … this toturial is not working … my phone is not lodin …], In my point of point of view Ubuntu Touch is not an alternative for Android, but rather a movement to open the duopoly that exists currently in the mobile market. [05:09] @mrbeandev [did it work for u?], I haven't tried it, I can't find Boot.img for Wayne [05:09] @mrbeandev [https://youtu.be/eGjplOtzSFI … this toturial is not working … my phone is not lodin …], [Edit] In my point of point of view Ubuntu Touch is not an alternative for Android, but rather an OS to open the duopoly that exists currently in the mobile market. [05:10] Unfortunately no real competitors have existed in a very long time to Android and iOS. [05:11] Now in 2020 we're seeing more coming to light. Sailfish OS, Harmony OS, Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS, Nemo Mobile, Maemo Leste... [05:11] The list goes on! [05:12] And if we keep creating a community maybe phone manufacturers and carriers will take attention and start mainstreaming the mobile independence. [05:12] [Edit] And if we keep expanding a community maybe phone manufacturers and carriers will take attention and start mainstreaming the mobile independence. [05:12] [Edit] And if we keep expanding a community maybe phone manufacturers and carriers will see this and start mainstreaming the mobile independence. [05:12] Don't get me wrong, it's an ambicious dream, but progress is being made. [05:13] And projects like these help this new tech revolution expand.

Basically making iOS run on other devices. [16:34] I mean I know such concept breaks Apple's EULAs but still a cool concept. [16:35] [Edit] I mean I know such concept breaks Apple's EULAs but still a cool idea.

It would take developing the missing drivers and implementing them into Darwin ARM (which someone basically remade) [16:38] But we're going too out of topic. [16:38] I'm not sure that reimplementing a closed-source mobile OS that Ubuntu Touch is a replacement for will be a very popular idea in the Ubuntu Touch room, yeah. :) [16:39] 😆 [16:41] @mintphin [Imagine how funny it would be if someone were to make a Hackinphone. Basically m …], Why would I want iOS if I can have Linux on my phone? [16:42] the answer is usually 'because i can' [16:42] @PiecerEdd [the answer is usually 'because i can'], Yup, basically summarizes it. [16:43] i dont know if iOS has any 'killer apps' that android doesnt (in the way that OSX does, hence why people do hackintosh) [17:03] Is there a way to fix black camera without rebooting? [17:42] @Boris Mihailov [Is there a way to fix black camera without rebooting?], Sometimes it's enough to swipe and activate the app switcher. Sometimes only reboot works at my device.

[18:50] Privacy [18:50] @. . [When and Why we should or need to use Ubuntu touch? … Why you don't use aosp ???], When/because you're a Linux nerd. … And maybe when you want a truly open source OS as opposed to a Google-controlled source-available thing. [18:51] <. .> @mimecar [Privacy], Can you explain more ? [18:52] Google's business model is to get your data and sell it. The applications show you advertisements with this data. [18:53] Ubuntu Touch does not spy on you and its applications do not show advertising. [18:53] <. .> @mimecar [Google's business model is to get your data and sell it. The applications show y …], Is it posable to customize aosp for this situation? [18:53] You will receive Ubuntu Touch updates whenever possible, not depending on what a manufacturer wants. [18:54] @. . [Is it posable to customize aosp for this situation?], I do not think so. [18:54] there is lineage and graphene tho [18:54] @. . [Is it posable to customize aosp for this situation?], Lineage OS exists [18:54] You will continue to use applications that depend on advertising. [18:55] @mimecar [You will continue to use applications that depend on advertising.], You can get some of them from F-Droid and refuse to install proprietary ones. [18:56] Yes, but you run out of many applications that are used daily. [18:56] <. .> @mimecar [You will continue to use applications that depend on advertising.], Is it posable to run apk apps on ubuntu touch??? [18:56] why would you want to do that [18:56] <. .> @Ender [Lineage OS exists], Thanks bro... [18:56] @. . [Is it posable to run apk apps on ubuntu touch???], In a very limited and experimental way. [18:57] <. .> (Sticker, 512x512) https://irc.ubports.com/MADtRfPr.webp [18:57] <. .> @mimecar [In a very limited and experimental way.], 👌 [19:00] @mimecar [Yes, but you run out of many applications that are used daily.], Depends on your preferences and values. I personally do not trust any proprietary code. Most of it is crap anyway. The only proprietary program I need is Skype because the company I work at uses that. And I run it on a dedicated machine behind strict firewall. [19:00] what's the difference between UT and Sailfish OS? Sailfish has a closed source UI (but honestly it looks great.) The new version of sailfish just came out https://blog.jolla.com/sailfish-os-pallas-yllastunturi-is-now-available/ and it has better device support (fingerprint, gps, etc) than ubports for my xperia 10. however, the apps aren' [19:00] t as great.

[We need to create or chose some OS for custom device with support apk installati …], [Edit] That is not an easy task [19:01] If you want to use Android apps, you use Android (everything will work). [19:01] <. .> @mimecar [That is not an easy task], What's your advice ? [19:01] @mimecar [If you want to use Android apps, you use Android (everything will work).], Idk about that, if you don't have gapps some won't even on android [19:02] @mimecar [If you want to use Android apps, you use Android (everything will work).], Or a virtual machine with Android as guest OS ;) [19:02] Ubuntu Touch can run some Android apps with Anbox, but you have not hardware access [19:02] @Ender [Or a virtual machine with Android as guest OS ;)], On a PC, not on a mobile [19:03] Another advantage of Ubuntu Touch is that when one version is released, it reaches all supported devices. [19:04] You do not depend on a specific adaptation as is the case with Android. [19:04] Google releases a version and hopefully it reaches "normal" phones within a year. [19:04] @mimecar [On a PC, not on a mobile], Never understood the concept of smartphone honestly. Unless your employer wants you to be online every single minute that is... [19:06] @Heng Ye [what's the difference between UT and Sailfish OS? Sailfish has a closed source U …], you pretty much just listed the differences hehe, but I have to disagree about the apps - sailfish OS apps are great for the most part [19:06] <. .> And how abut android one is it posable to use for custom device? [19:06] The smartphone can be used personally, it is not necessarily related to work. [19:08] Android One maintains a separate partition with drivers and other basic things (GSI). [19:09] Without the drivers from the phone manufacturer, you can't do anything. [19:10] <. .> @mimecar [Without the drivers from the phone manufacturer, you can't do anything.], Thanks for useful information. [19:45] @PiecerEdd there are more garbage sailfish apps but the good ones seem shared (pure maps, quickddit ). Only big thing sailfish is missing is tux racer. [19:47] Also the ubports feels more "authentic linux" if u know what I mean...look n feels like desktop ubuntu [20:31] which is strange as sailfish is more of a classical linux distro setup... its got system, RPM's, and a read-write rootfs 😆 [20:31] errm, systemd* [20:33] ubports is more open saucy though (as you said sailfish has a proprietary UI, or at least components of it) and the sailfish browser is STILL dreadful even after this month's update [20:33] @PiecerEdd saiflish is so beautiful tho [20:33] there is the glacier ux but it's nowhere as good [20:34] yeah glacier isnt great, quite unstable too [20:36] distrohopping on mobile is real now [21:14] @Heng Ye [where's the "wireless displays" setting? i don't see in the settings in v10 GSI], there's an android property that needs to be set for it to appear in settings, though i don't recall the exact property [21:14] @dohbee [there's an android property that needs to be set for it to appear in settings, t …], An android property? [21:16] @Heng Ye [An android property?], yes, that's checked via `getprop` you can probably set it manually with `setprop` or such [21:19] @dohbee [yes, that's checked via getprop you can probably set it manually with setprop or …], I don't see one...grep cast give nothing [21:22] @Heng Ye [I don't see one...grep cast give nothing], yes, it doesn't exist and therefore is not set [21:22] it must be set to work. i don't recall what the name of the property is [21:22] you can check in system-settings source for getprop calls i guess [22:15] i'm thinking of Ubuntu Touch (UT) as a substitute for Android-x86 on a PC that may not work well on... is UT still developed? [22:32] UT is still developed, yes, but mainly for ARM devices. I'm not sure what you mean in your first sentence. [23:28] that's fine. If I use UT instead of Android-x86, is there a program similar to Google Maps? [23:28] or preferably just a port of it (not meaning in web browser) also with voice navigation in the accent one chooses? [23:31] There are other maps apps. There is no build of UT to run on x86 android hal devices [23:31] hal? [23:31] never mind. I don't have such a device [23:33] You mean a generic tablet that can run on mainline?
