Raz na wozie, raz pod wozem... Nie każdy projekt zawsze się udaje, u mnie nie wypalił pomysł z instalacją Ubuntu Touch na Pixelu 3a. Dlaczego? Wszystkiego można dowiedzieć się z najnowszego wpisu:

Still can’t believe that I can run @Vivaldi on #ubuntutouch I’d like a better phone to run the OS on, but I don’t have the spare cash for that kind of thing. @ubports doing good work. #ubuntu #linux

A useful find for #UbuntuTouch : delta chat which works natively very well and is a good replacement for fluffy chat which doesn’t seem to exist anymore…. 
Is also available for all sorts of other platforms including iOS

Latest nerd accomplishment: flashed Ubuntu Touch onto this newly acquired second hand Poco XF3-NFC. Need to test the newly added feature of VoLTE support on this (for calling over 4g, a requirement here in the USA now), if that is working then I could actually use this as a daily driver. #linuxmobile #ubuntutouch #ubports #foss #smartphones #degoogle #android #privacy
Jeeest! Google Pixel 3a właśnie do mnie dojechał! W komplecie dali nawet ładowarkę i kabelek :D Jeśli wszystko pójdzie dobrze, to w ten weekend zrobię downgrade Andka do wersji 9.0, a potem wrzucę Ubuntu Touch.
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.

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

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!
