Volla Phone | Using Linux Phone instead of Android or Apple 

Hi Chris, I live over in Weatherford, you said that calling worked for you, can you confirm that you were able to make phone calls? I've been trying to make phone calls with my volla phone and it doesn't never dails out. Thanks!

Check GPMDP app for Google Music on Linux.

me: oh wow, linux phone, and it can work as a desktop t- video: I actually made ton of scripts to make it better experience me: hi windows, hi mac how are you?

Me too!

Android is Linux already.

@@vitacell1 the kernel has been highly modified.

​@@vitacell1 well yes, but actually no... Everything that is good about linux is not in android. And its propriety sh*t, and its google, need i say more? Also i think its not counted as linux distro since its not open-sourced, and kernel was altered so much.

@@godfather7339 So, it's not Linux because modified? Linux-libre, Linux-lowlatency aren't vanilla. But still Linux.

Probably smart, getting around it was very easy.

@@ChrisTitusTech it would've been good if canonical kept ubuntu touch i think linux phones would get popular

Have 1000 songs downloaded

Yeah I just don't use any online services, in fact i AM my own service lol

@Kushagra Sharma flac is lame mp3 is better

@Kushagra Sharma heh?

Thank you =) Its just the beginning. The new rugged Volla Phone X will be ready for preordering this week.

If you only want to use Ubuntu Touch on a stable device, you may be interested in buying a Gigaset GS290 (EXACT same hardware, exact same manufacturer but WAY cheaper It costs 229€ and is way better than the PinePhone) You can install Ubuntu on it with the UBports installer :) Have a nice day

That will be the next video ;)

Long time ago, Android phones run Linux.

@@vitacell1 will appimages work in android ?

@@rishirajsaikia1323 No, but well, it's Linux anyway.

@@vitacell1 how is it Linux? Sure it built off of Linux, but you can’t do linux stuff on it. I mean heck, iPhones are based of macOS, which is based off Unix...

@@WalterMan How can you make software for a kernel without an operating system? You can't program apps for NT or Darwin. Operating system is missing, lol. It's no sense making software for a kernel. What is the "linux" stuff? First, you should to learn the difference between kernel and an operating system. I think that you are talking about GNU's stuff, which is operating system, the Unix's clone. This operating system usually comes/distributes with linux kernel. Linux needs operating system to work. At least stuff like C library, init, bootloader, linking, filesystem...

No but before you can ask this question you have to create a google-outlook-apple-facebook-twitter-samsung-account. By creating an account you accept the terms of use.

Yes there's something named WayDroid (formerly Halium-Anbox). It fully supports Micro-G and works really great at least on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Haven't run into an app that doesn't work yet.

If you need Android, just stay there, that defeats the purpose of these phones

Yeah, new anbox is really perfect now. It's named WayDroid or halium-anbox. It's on GitHub.

Ubuntu Touch uses Waydroid which can run certain Android apps. The UBports foundation paid for this to be developed.

Can you port UT to the Moto e 2020 phone?

@@coler154 I could if I had one, its not as easy as android cause it involves reading through logs when things go wrong, and requires knowing how to get the logs. I can point in you in the right direction if you'd like to try doing it yourself

I think theres a software store a similar type to what pop os has on pc

@@killertigergaming6762 how are you current adding apps to the phone?

@@n1kkri I don't have the phone i just use linux on pc and im pretty sure it works similar to just normal linux

@@killertigergaming6762 Are you the one in the video? If so did all the apps on the phone come that way?

@@n1kkri no im not smh

Mir has a Wayland implementation, so Wayland should work.

It's GPU accelerated. It's the fault of VNC. On my OnePlus 7 Pro UBPorts is even smoother than Android.

I will!

Are there any other OSs built for Halium specifically?

@@charliekahn4205 there is a LuneOS build, and a Manjaro Build, as well as SailfishOS, Ive also put /e/ onto my Volla but wasnt too impressed with it (/e/ not the volla)

@@tyg3rpro don't forget droidian! Its pretty neat. Mobian with phosh UI but halium based

@@TechTino I havent had a chance to try those yet, Ive been trying to get cellular working on mine again from the last bricking (resulted in a loss of IMEIs and S/N, got the IMEIs back, but no cellular)

The network supplies satellite orbit data and an approximate location that helps the positioning calculations. Look up Assisted GPS for more details.

Web isn't platform agnostic

what is no dependency hassle?:O

Brave Browser

They have made good progress from last year, but there is definitely still a ways go. I haven't found any hardware phone for it yet that I love. I want a powerful phone with HDMI out, so I can use it like a phone or computer.

@@ChrisTitusTech Exactly. What we have so far are still alphas. We need a distro that can be flashed onto fairly recent phones and just work. Or hardware that is as appealing as Pixels or i(am-owned)Phones and software that just works.

@@ChrisTitusTech look up he fxtech pro 1 x for that

@@AnzanHoshinRoshi you can jailbreak an iPhone and you get a decent Darwin system.

Germany.

@@asland408 I rather pay my money to Germany then to China lol

Since when Andoid doesn't run Linux?

@@vitacell1 My understanding is that Android IS Linux, but it is locked down so to defeat "Linux Freedom" (users doing what they want at risk of breaking the OS or bricking the phone). Appears Volla says "Do what you want", or at least more than Android.

Sorry... I just found your win 11 video...😁

Gnome is too heavy for any mobile device.

I meant more the UI/UX not gnome as a whole. That would be way too bloated indeed

@@Jonathan-ep9wb don't you like Unuty/Lomiri which is now on Ubuntu Touch? I find it quite sensible

On tablets desktop gnome is great

You can use GTK stuff on it like normal if you change root permissions.

@@charliekahn4205 Did you do it? How is it done?

You need a GSM carrier that does not require white listed phones supporting VoLTE for calls In the USA - so Verizon is a no go (CDMA and white listed). For calls it currently only works with T-mobile (which only gets 2G mobile data on the bands it supports in my area in Central TX), for LTE mobile data it is only compatible with AT&T in areas where they provide 4G/LTE over the 850MHz frequency band. I use my Volla with SIMS in both slots from each of those carriers in order to be able to use it as a daily driver here in Central TX.

@@totalsonic5619 Thanks. I was thinking of switching over to that other new service. Mint Mobile. Would it work with that? I think they use T Mobile towers

Loli-Chan?? :)

@@markh.6687 Lainchan, not lolichan.

@@NuryPPanaligan Mine was a play on words. :)

not really, Android is linux is in the same vain as "windows NT is a unix" so technically true, but in practice, no.

yes it is.

It is But it isn't GNU/Linux; Android built-in just pure Linux kernel But those Linux phones are GNU/Linux

Android uses the Linux kernel, but in lieu of the GNU suite of compiled C programs, it uses a custom JVM and a suite of apps and libraries written in Java.

@@charliekahn4205 Yeah and in the end no one cares.

That's Droidian/Mobian

Ever heard of idk being in early development smh

You can use WayDroid (formerly anbox-halium) for your banking apps. It's essentially a native Lineage OS experience but on UBPorts.

Yes we all knew that but it's locked down by Google.

Yea we do know it uses the kernal but its made and developed by google so we don't want to use it

It isn't but okay

Maybe the problem with sd cards is there far slower then normal storage

That'd be awful. SD cards go bad so quickly lmao
