@peat_psuwit Thanks for the detailed explanation, very helpful! And the detection in the MR you linked is a piece of art.

@pparent I tried it at gps.coordinates.net with Morph and it got to the next street from mine so it seems to work. This is with 24.04 RC on a Fairphone 5.

@mr_growl Hope you had a great vacation!

Ah thank you. This seems to have been set to tethering. I wasn't aware this would also stop file transfers when I've been looking to diagnose why. Resolved

@pparent Amazing improvements, thank you very much!

@mafman97 You can install Windows to a USB thumb drive and run MSMtool from that There is also a linux method somewhere in the OP 5 or 6 forums, but results are variable.

@pparent An issue has been created at https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps/issues/720 I am confident that the problem will be resolved.

Hello @messayisto I have met with them and they told me that the initial port is basically done. But that's not currently a high quality port and it needs polish... They stated that the phone will ship preinstalled with Ubuntu Touch once they feel it meets their quality standard. We are discussing ways to improve the port and how to insure a good port quality for their customers. I'm hopeful that what will come out of this will be beneficial for other manufacturers. I'm really happy of how things are going. And I will provide a feedback once I'll have the chance to have a hands-on device experience.

Had a bit of time playing with this. Looks like when i add the needed luser+pass UT borks the config.

@itsjusthim Thanks for trying. The kernel misses the telephony support, which causes the imei not showing up. I only own the F model, so I cannot help with this. (n case you would like to try yourself, replace akita_row_wifi with akita_row_call in the deviceinfo file, and in all overlay files, and build the all img files. This will enable the missing kernel support, but more might be missing.) I am still working on the grahics issues.
