Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (16/2025): Counting Easter Eggs
Weiß jemand, ob man alternative Smartphones a la #Fairphone et al auch irgendwo ausprobieren kann? Haben die üblichen Handyläden sowas? Würde gerne mal die Handhabung testen. Auch gerade mal mit #UbuntuTouch o.ä.
Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (15/2025): Boot your phone from USB
@taketwo @SrMono @neons @WeAreFairphone And your point is?
They already do work with Murena. Keep in mind Fairphone is still a very small company, compared to others, with limited resources. They can't do it all on their own. And each Fairphone sold is contributing to the idea there is a way to do things differently than what happens now.
Until things like #jolla or #VollaOS and #ubuntutouch gain significant traction (especially UT needs a revival), they are our best chance.
I am playing with #UbuntuTouch user metrics and #Amazfish ...
I hope I don't burn my lunch ;-D
Friday so it’s @ubports #ubuntutouch day. I loved being part of that community, running their Instagram and PixelFed accounts. Would love to see those accounts spring back to life again #linux #ubuntu
#HMD Global is planning to move back mobile phone production to Europe. They owned the #nokia brand, but they decided to drop it and continue under the name HMD - Human Mobile Device. Time for Europe to have a mobile brand, again. I got mine today - it's Android, of course, but only for a few days until I rebuild it with #ubuntuTouch or #eOS. @e_mydata I may need some help. #buyeuropean #boycottusa

Occasionally I post from #UbuntuTouch

Schon mal #deltachat in Betracht gezogen?
Bietet ähnlichen Funktionsumfang wie #Whatsapp #Signal #SignalApp und nutzt dafür aber Standard Internet Protokolle (Email Standards) für #E2EE über sog. chat relays. Diese speichern nur kurzfristig die (immer verschlüsselten) Nachrichten.
#deltachat läuft nicht nur auf #Android oder #iOS sondern auch unter #linux #macos #ubuntutouch oder wer unbedingt will auch #windoof
Man kann es gleichzeitig auf mehreren Geräten nutzen. Außerdem unterstützt es mehrere Profile.

- Kospet DK08, improved Bangle.js
- Auto-profile switching

- UI Performance
- build with cmake
- many translations
It felt really cool to finally have a mobile (#Pixel3a) in my hands, where I could unlock bootloader! It was flawless to install #UbuntuTouch and the OS looks super awesome - its #Linux in my hands!
But it took only some hours until I reached my personal end. This is way too much tinkering and compromises.
Since several vendors implement their authentication only for Android, you have to keep your old phone with Android to authenticate here and there. Or you install Waydroid, and emulate it.
Ubuntu Touch VoLTE support rollout begins, starting from Fairphone 5 and Volla 22.

Ubuntu on phones now receive initial VoLTE support
If you are using one of the supported Ubuntu Phone devices, such as a Volla 22 (contains a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC) or a Fairphone 5 (contains a Qualcomm QCM6490 SoC), you can now use VoLTE on your device.
The necessary modifications for both SoC vendors have been added to both the Noble Numbat version and the Focal Fossa version so that VoLTE works on these devices that have Ubuntu Touch installed. However, for other phones, such as Xiaomi and Google Pixel phones, it’s on the developer who created the port to modify it so that it works with VoLTE.
While they have tested the functionality with both high-quality voice calls and SMS messages, they have reported issues when working with MMS. In the status bar, if your phone shows VoLTE, this means that you can have high-quality voice calls.
In order to try out VoLTE support, you must make sure that:
Gibts hier Erfahrungen mit #ubuntuTouch aufm #Smartphone?
@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.
And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!
