[04:09] <tr4ck3ur> As i just buy it on a "well known" reseler, i hope it will fit my needs, erf, let's say his needs.. as i will prepare it for a really "heart" good friend.
[04:11] <tr4ck3ur> i know it's a bet on the future, but i'm pretty confident
[04:13] <tr4ck3ur> and really at least, i will try to re-use an old device

Is it Teleports ( BETA ) ... in the store that is the one with most positive reactions or do I miss something ?

 Yes, Teleports although named beta because it is not feature equal yet, works quit well.

 You are aware Iphone is closed system in any possible way , right ?
 This project is  about having an alternative , not having the brand new shiny thing that came out 2 days ago . If you are expecting brand new phones to be ported I do not see that happening until the project goes a ton because there will be need for some1 to buy and send those phones to the developers that can do the port + they need to

 except for that android/linux support on iPhones would need to improve
 @hacker12455 [keep in mind someone with an iphone might port it on their own], that would be great - the more options we have the better , If some1 can do it it will be really really beneficial

 Ubport can't copyright from others developer right
 @H@ñß9ñ [What services do Ubuntu touch used for it to work?], We use free services like open street map

 @Sanskar Vashishtha [So, obviously many people must have ported different types of devices. But why a …], There where less than ten a year ago. Why? Because it does take up to a year to produce a stable port. Can be faster, can be longer. Often the smaller time consuming issues  stay longer.
[16:36] <ubptgbot> <Sanskar Vashishtha> Okay. But seriously, there were not even 10! The community is growing fast it seems.

[22:23] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> no it does not

[22:24] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> is this noier?
[22:24] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> [Edit] is this nicer?
 yeah, telegram has a habit of changing `--` into an emdash, for example
 Thanks. I'll try that
[22:42] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> ```upower -d``` also shows battery stats
 Thanks. Is there any way to read battery capacity. It has the charge rate but I think the battery is gone but I need to read the capacity level.
[22:45] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> maybe the kernel of your device can show this

 5
[22:46] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> no idea. is it in this list?: https://gitlab.com/ernesst/indicator-upower/-/blob/master/indicator/devices.json
 Yes. It is hammerhead
[22:51] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> I guess then ```ls /sys/devices/f9923000.i2c/i2c-84/84-0036/power_supply/battery/``` might show if the info is available
 That lists different options, e.g. health, capacity, temp. Is there a way of checking these. I have tried the above command and adding the option to the end but I don't get a readout
[22:56] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> ls shows the files exist. most of the time you can read their value using cat
[22:58] <ubptgbot> <Willem-Jan de Hoog> for example on my opo I do  … ```phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cat /sys/devices/qpnp-charger-f6284000/power_supply/battery/charge_now``` … and it says ```5021```
 Thanks that worked
