ubptgbot<Fuseteam> By brian do you know anything about this issue?02:37
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> I can make a forum post about it. Right now I'm trying to figure out why I can't swipe away apps to close them. Only bug I'm seeing at the moment on this install.02:37
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Actually I just noticed when I connect it to my computer its not recognized. Can't transfer files.02:38
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] By brian do you know anything about these issues on gsi?02:38
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] By brian do you know anything about these issues on redmi note 7 gsi?02:38
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> mms doesn't seem to work either02:39
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> I did figure out I can swipe away paps if I use two fingers. One on the appearance and one below it.03:00
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> Apps* app*03:00
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> eh? two fingers? that's odd03:09
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> Yeah not sure whats up. Have to move kind of slow too.03:12
ubptgbot<dohbee> GSI i guess doesn't have mtp support and probably has rndis or whatever instead03:50
ubptgbot<NotKit> @Fuseteam [I can make a forum post about it. Right now I'm trying to figure out why I can't …], that has been fixed by https://github.com/ubports/mir-android-platform/commit/732621feb6b9746bb35b79de5ea9c707bc424fc4, but I guess GSI rootfs is older03:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @NotKit [that has been fixed by https://github.com/ubports/mir-android-platform/commit/73 …], right so these are gsi bugs04:17

ubptgbot<Drymarchon> How do I apply that fix?05:26
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> also, how would one go about making it connect to the pc via usb?05:36
ubptgbotdblake76 was added by: dblake7606:22
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> I have a question that may sound offensive to a hard working team but I hope it doesn't. Is the main reason most of the supported phones are out dated models mostly because it's expensive to buy a late model phone just to port ubuntu to it? Or is it because it can't work on later model phones?07:59
ubptgbot<Themetaleye> Porting for s9+ its very hard pro level in my view. Also old devices are more known and usually have less shit to handle. Thats just what I understood but I know very little about it08:04
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> it's a matter of upstream dependencies - most ports are based on lineageOS. therefor, until there's a reasonable lineageOS version available, you can't start08:19
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> secondly, there's libhybris which needs to be updated at every new android version, which is also from upstream (sailfish) - there's no libhybris for android 11 yet, so the most that can be worked on is android 10 base08:20
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> finally, we need more people :)08:20
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> so right now, unless your phone runs android 9 / lineageOS (or mainline), porting is rather hard08:21
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> TheKit has a WIP of android 1008:21
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> @rogieroudshoorn [it's a matter of upstream dependencies - most ports are based on lineageOS. ther …], That helps a lot, thank you. Also good news for me because Lineage OS 18.1 is getting close to being ready for the OnePlus 8T, and I have a few of those on hand right now.  … Is Sailfish working on libhybris for android 11?08:22
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> i don't know where they are working on to be honest ... it'll likely come when they want to get their OS on this year's generation of Sony devices08:23
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> you'll have a much better chance getting your OP 8T running on the android 10 port soon08:23
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> oooh wait, that came out with 1108:23
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> Yeah it's 11 already. I just ordered another OnePlus 7 Pro, which is my current daily with lineage, to unlock and send over the pond to Cory who is the one porting the OnePlus 6T right now. I don't know how to port or code so I'm trying to help with money. Thats why I'm wondering if there are other experienced porters that want better08:26
ubptgbotphones to work on for free. Now I'm not rich so I can't send a ton to multiple people, but I can definitely send out 2 or 3 to various people. Maybe a Google Pixel 4a XL or something like that.08:26
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> same here mostly - not that handy yet. you could consider donating to the foundation as well08:28
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> Honestly just the OnePlus 7 Pro with everything working, mms, gps, etc... Would be amazing to me personally. I could daily that for sure. I love this model.08:28
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> @rogieroudshoorn [same here mostly - not that handy yet. you could consider donating to the founda …], I've already set up a monthly donation to the foundation.08:28
ubptgbot<rogieroudshoorn> 👍08:29
ubptgbot<Drymarchon> Looks like the OnePlus 8 came with 10. I'm going to see if I can find s good deal on one.08:52
ubptgbot<Luka Kronegger> Hello, is there a tutorial on how to upgrade python? I was able to do it in libertine but not directly in UT. I use one+ one08:55
ubptgbot<NikosPantelaros> any news for pixel 2 xl?08:59
ubptgbot<Flohack> @NikosPantelaros [any news for pixel 2 xl?], Working on it, we have a few blockers still that are in the rootfs09:13

ubptgbot<holdmyfinger> @dohbee [it's not entirely clear that VoLTE doesn't work on all devices], Android custom ROMs never get VoLTE to work as its often held behind googles safteynet. His would pureOS get around it?09:52
ubptgbot<Flohack> @holdmyfinger [Android custom ROMs never get VoLTE to work as its often held behind googles saf …], I dont think VoLTE has anything to do with Safety Net that would be strange10:07
ubptgbot<holdmyfinger> Always fascinated how custom ROMs never get it to work...10:13
ubptgbot<NikosPantelaros> I have custom rom on my pixel and volte work perfectly10:15

We always hoped things would start working like that :) That being said, we are just getting Android 9 support into last stage of fixing bugs, and we started on Halium 10 recently. Currently thats the ve10:30
ubptgbotrsions of Android where we will put our porting efforts, so a device needs to come with either of that 2 versions of stock rom to be of use for us. Android 11 is a major beast and probably needs more time until we can work on it ;)10:30
sundev79Hi10:55
sundev79I'm looking for a port for the Samsung galaxy A10?10:56
ubptgbot<Flohack> @sundev79 [I'm looking for a port for the Samsung galaxy A10?], Sorry, not yet. See https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/10:58
sundev79Ok, uh the best is to wear a GSI or to compile halium from scratch?11:00
ubptgbot<Flohack> @sundev79 [Ok, uh the best is to wear a GSI or to compile halium from scratch?], If you have some knowledge about how to work with Git, a kernel configuration, scripting in shell etc. you could try to port it yourself. What base Android version does it have? Also, its better to have an official LineageOS support. Look for 14.1 or 1611:02
sundev79base rom : Android 911:02
sundev79Actualy run on Lineage OS beta 18.0 (Android 11 Beta)11:03
ubptgbot<Flohack> Ok you could try GSI and only compile the kernel. But still a few adaptions are needed to the kernel config11:03
sundev79A guide exist for building the kernel with modifications ?11:03
sundev79je re11:04
ubptgbot<Flohack> @sundev79 [A guide exist for building the kernel with modifications ?], Please follow https://github.com/ubports/porting-notes/wiki/Halium-9 and https://github.com/ubports/porting-notes/wiki/Generic-system-image-(GSI) and join the porting group https://t.me/ubports_porting11:05
ubptgbot<Flohack> You will still have problems very likely, but you can at least ask in the porting group ^^11:05
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Drymarchon [How do I apply that fix?], i'm not sure you can, this sounds like an issue due to ota updates being broken on the gsi11:39
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Drymarchon [also, how would one go about making it connect to the pc via usb?], may try switching the usb to mtp via the ut tweak tool11:40
ubptgbot<Cerealesgratis> Probably dumb question12:02
ubptgbot<Cerealesgratis> Apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and GPS Trackers don't work, right?12:03
ubptgbot<Cerealesgratis> (GPS Trackers because my family is paranoid and want to know where I am 😐)12:03
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> Telegram works; we have teleports for that12:03
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> GPS Trackers don't work yet GPS and other background activities are currently suspended12:04
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> WhatsApp and Discord don't support Ubuntu Touch; not yet anyway, there nothing preventing them from supporting Ubuntu Touch12:05
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] WhatsApp and Discord don't support Ubuntu Touch; not yet anyway, there nothing preventing them from supporting Ubuntu Touch they just need to be convinced12:05
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> [Edit] GPS Trackers don't work yet GPS and other background activities are currently suspended by the OS12:06
ubptgbot<Cerealesgratis> Makes sense12:06
ubptgbot<Cerealesgratis> Surprised telegram does work, thats a relief since is my main messaging app.12:07
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> telegram is a lot more open than whatsapp and discord so that kinda helps12:07
ubptgbot<X YZ> @Fuseteam [telegram is a lot more open than whatsapp and discord so that kinda helps], Open indeed ... especially with regard to encryption. 😉12:10
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> mhm12:10
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> funny enough my main way of using telegram is through teleports xD12:11
ubptgbot<X YZ> 📱😇12:11
ubptgbot<X YZ> @Fuseteam [funny enough my main way of using telegram is through teleports xD], Messages will still be on TG's servers without encryption, independent of the client used.12:12
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i know, telegram isn't end-to-end encrypted by default :p12:12
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i'm not using it on my ubuntu touch phone for privacy reasons :p it just is my main way of using telegram12:13
ubptgbot<NotKit> you're probably lucky then not to have hundreds of chats and groups/channels crashing Teleports12:14
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i do only have ubports groups and a few others12:15
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> doubt i have hunderds of groups no12:16
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i do have some days teleports does crash on me12:16
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> usually if i don't look at telegram for a week or so12:17

ubptgbot<mateosalta> in theroy, but someone would have to do some work, and then it is just the plugin, then it needs a gui interface14:01
