I have a OnePlus Nord N10 5G I picked up to play with Ubuntu Touch. Now that VoLTE works I can actually make and receive calls which makes it nearly usable. I wish RCS could work but that may be out of their hands. Group texts (MMS) don’t work either unfortunately. It’s close to usable but still not ready for me personally. I did contribute to Ubuntu Touch though by adding Colemak keyboard layout support and they accepted my pull request :D

Cool! I’ve got the N100, and experience is similar. I’m trying to build up some motivation to use it daily for a while. Good on you for the development work, and congrats on you accepted pull!

RCS has no documentation on how to be implemented… Thank you for the contribution btw

Nice. Similar, I got the N100 off the bay to give a try. VoLTE now works good in USA with Tello /Tmobile, at least in my area, that was certainly a show stopper for some time, huge win! Got OpenVPN working, uWolf runnng my NextDNS so can filter/watch the logs, MMS has some issues (only works with wifi disabled, but I think they have a fix coming), no RCS as you mention. As you say, not quite there, but good progress overall. Hope for continued progress, and love to see the many more posts on it than ever before! Using a privacy focused Android phone project for now, but long term the real answer is Linux or some other new project to tear away completely from Bigtechs dependency & stranglehold. Thanks for your adding development to the cause!
