    Heya, I'm a student who's got plenty time on their hands since my college hasn't started yet. In the meantime I've been actively testing Ubuntu Touch and have noticed how the devices page and other documentations lack updates. I unfortunately don't have a pc right now so I can't contribute in coding and development as of right now but I can offer to help in all kinds of documentation building stuff since I'm quite passionate about writing in general and I really wanna help the community however I can. I will do this by keeping myself updated on new developments, talking to community members and ofcourse testing things myself. So I'd like to ask, is this a welcomed effort?? xcx

    @projectmoon The main problem that currently prevents using Wayland for electron apps, is that the On-Screen-Keyboard cannot work with GTK+Wayland+Mir1.x . By the way the Merezhyvo Browser ( popriatary app ! ) is an electron app using Wayland, but it has found it's way around this problem by coding it's own OSK inside the app itself, which is not really a way I want to go. (Especially for Signal because I want to modify the code only as strictly necessary, and also because for Signal there are other problems when it comes to using it in Wayland mode with Mir1.x). Anyway I've already tried it (see in the Signal UT topic), and reallu the best is to wait for Mir2.x, I hope it won't be in too long.

    @oxwivi There is very little point in restarting an old thread, things have moved on a lot. Please start a new thread and say what device you are trying to install Anbox on. It does not work on all devices I think. Also have a search of the Forum for Anbox issues for that device your issue may already have been solved. Thanks. I will now lock this one.

    @Eric You already created a thread for this issue. No need to open several. ADB is an Android tool, there is no such thing for the PinePhone. Edit: I'll lock this thread, please see how to SSH into your Pinephone there.

    @pixelated In UT we have long and short swipe from both right and left sides. Inverting the drawer will just invert the problem. I think what is asked here is the same thing as "I wanna go home". There are two main drives that I see in this kind of requests: First is the will for customization Then there is the comfort of what is known (frequent comparison with Android) About the first one having choice is nice but having something working is even better. And customization requires lot of work to extract a generic API exposing in a secure manner the various aspect that people might wanna customize. Customization and security don't get along very well, it requires persuasion to make it work About the other one I know people having used both iOS and Android and they all wish some features from one system and others from the second. No one will ever be happy with what he's given. But the best is try and choose what is the best for one self. Of course suggestions are welcome, it helps improve our system but there are tough choices to make. Mine is stability over showing off. Android is all about showing off, new features, new UI, new UX but always with lack of stability. What I like with Linux on my computer is stability I want a system I can rely on to do the job and thus allowing me to do mine. That's the same with my phone. In this manner I like how UBports made the choice of working on behind-the-scene features with what I consider a small meaningless UX change with the app drawer. The feature request is interesting IMO but I think what the foundation is focused on is catching up with 20.4, increase stability and better ports. Customization will be a priority some day but I guess it's up to volunteers to make a proposal if they want to be able to add new UI/UX alternatives.

    I got to the point where is asks for a password but won't accept my password. Word of caution: don't change your password from command line if you've enabled passcode - when you phone locks it only gives you a numpad to enter your password, not a keyboard.

    @enrolado There are no scopes any more, and that does not apply to the app drawer.

    @TobsEnd I had similar issue with FP2 some time ago. Couldn't figure why, happened after update, persisted after channel change (stable, rc) and next OTA updates didn't fix the video playback. I couldn't play videos for several months. The video issues were fixed after complete UBports reinstall (with wipe) using the installer. I hope it will fix your issues too.

    @pixelated For the record, the behavior you described is not a bug. When an app is uninstalled the users data and settings are not automatically removed. Just as they are not on desktop Ubuntu. These typically live in your home folder. Having your data and settings intact when reinstalling an app after having removed it is a feature.

    I am willing to re-visit trying to revert it, however as with you, my time is rather limited for that.
