I am playing with #UbuntuTouch user metrics and #Amazfish ...

I hope I don't burn my lunch ;-D

No your eyes are not deceiving you, that is @Vivaldi installed on #ubuntutouch #linux Linux for mobile phone. #vivaldi #linux #ubuntu @ubports

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

Amazfish 2.6.0 has been released! #UbuntuTouch #Flatpak (and hopefully soon in the #SailfishOS Chum repo)

Among other updates, there is a documentation page that tries to answer the question of what actually works—please help fill in the gaps!

https://amazfish.github.io/

Changes in 2.6.0:
- Kospet DK08, improved Bangle.js
- Auto-profile switching
- Reworked pairing/unpairing/reconnect timer
- UI Performance
- build with cmake
- many translations

Ubuntu Touch gets many improvements other than initial VoLTE support!

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:

• your phone is running the latest version of Ubuntu Touch,
• your phone supports VoLTE, and
• your carrier and your cellular plan support VoLTE.

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (13/2025): Crossing Platforms, Breaking Barriers

https://linmob.net/weekly-update-13-2025/

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

in an attempt to achieve the highest app compatibility known to man, i ended up writing a daemon that allows to install, configure and run #UbuntuTouch applications on our beloved #flx1 and it actually turned out pretty nice.

this is yet another service/client setup where now the store server is refactored to work alongside android-store (used to install android apps) to lower memory usage and the client is a #GNOME software plugin
