| ubptgbot | <vonnie thomas> thank you-how long has it taken you to get yours? | 00:05 |
| ubptgbot | <TartanSpartan> A long time. Placed the order in early December. Shipped in late January. Ocean freight to Canada by DHL meant this took a long time. It finally got picked up on the tracker again two days ago, and Canada Post predict it should be here by March the 10th at the latest; hopefully faster as I've seen land freight from Montreal to Vanco | 00:08 |
| ubptgbot | uver should take five or so days, then it has to go onward to my part of BC. | 00:08 |
| ubptgbot | <TartanSpartan> I was happy to be patient, but if I had mission critical work and needed a UT phone I would have gone for a different device shipped faster directly within Canada. | 00:09 |
| ubptgbot | <TartanSpartan> [Edit] I was happy to be patient, but if I had mission critical work and needed a UT phone I would have gone for a different device instead, shipped faster directly within Canada. | 00:09 |

| ubptgbot | <Dkostarnov> Well, can I see a kernel like 20.04 in UBPort? | 14:04 |
| ubptgbot | <Deathmist1337> @Dkostarnov [Well, can I see a kernel like 20.04 in UBPort?], kernels are device specific on Android and in most cases will never get updated so another version past upstream patch levels or backported stuff, the base Ubuntu version however is getting upgrades to 20.04 LTS later as currently it's still on 16.04 LTS | 14:08 |

| ubptgbot | <Fuseteam> it fair rather well but it is smoother on 2 gig ram devices | 14:40 |
| ubptgbot | <Flohack> @amn1987 [Hi everyone. I haven't had the opportunity to try UBports yet as for both of my …], Hard to say because its comparing apples with bananas. But the pure OS might need a bit more RAM then just booted Android. We say min 2GB, better 3GB to run it smoothly | 14:41 |
| ubptgbot | <Flohack> Yeah | 14:41 |
| ubptgbot | <amn1987> Thanks for the info. | 14:43 |

| ubptgbot | <klaartje_b> @CC_JingOS [Has anyone successfully installed Ubuntu Touch on any Samsung Galaxy Tab?], I do not see it on the devices page https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ so it seems like there is no port for it yet, so that would be a no. | 15:33 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> Well | 15:35 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> I'm thinking about porting JingOS to my Galaxy Tab | 15:35 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> I'm interested, does JingOS use some technologies similar to Ubuntu Touch? | 15:36 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> Yes, we are based on Ubuntu 20.04 | 15:37 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> So I'm here to check which tablet can be ported | 15:37 |
| ubptgbot | <klaartje_b> That is indeed interesting! | 15:37 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Does it currently use hybris? | 15:38 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> So if the Galaxy Tab can port UB, then JingOS too | 15:38 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Well, not quite | 15:38 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Do you have anything in place to be able to use SurfaceFlinger, Adreno, and other Android drivers? | 15:38 |
| ubptgbot | <dohbee> i'm pretty sure jingos does not have any way to use hybris | 15:39 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> @UniversalSuperBox [Does it currently use hybris?], Yes | 15:51 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Really? On which devices can it be installed? | 15:51 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> We are working on an ARM based device now | 15:52 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> @JingOS_Linux | 15:52 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> Not successfully ported yet | 15:52 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Oh, okay. | 15:52 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Maybe you'd like to start with one of the devices that already runs Ubuntu Touch, then. We have hybris figured out to some extent on those. | 15:53 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> Maybe in May, we will port JingOS to the first ARM based device | 15:53 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> And you might like to join us at @halium, since that's where multiple projects get together to work on hybris. | 15:53 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> (and the Android container, and its supporting code) | 15:54 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> Yes, my partner is already at @halium | 15:54 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> So you know JingOS right? I'm not sure people know it or not | 15:55 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> I've heard of it. Y'all get the word out about the product pretty well, but almost nothing is known about its community or development. | 15:55 |
| ubptgbot | <CC_JingOS> Ok | 15:56 |
| ubptgbot | <dohbee> where is the source? | 15:58 |

| sig_9 | hello, I've got a pile of lenova tab10 tablets and was wondering if those would be able to install ubports? | 17:00 |
| ubptgbot | <UniversalSuperBox> Not currently, because each android device needs its own custom image created for it. You can find the devices that have such an image at https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io. If you're interested in learning how to make a custom image for your stack of devices, you can check out https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/ | 17:01 |

| ubptgbot | <fredldotme> No. Since our camera app is FLOSS anyway the best approach would be to improve it rather than release yet another camera app. | 17:38 |
