@ChromiumOS-Guy said @oldbutndy not really it would help a lot yes but you can use standard reverse engneering software to check it, also engneering roms have unlocked bootloader so you just compare that to the oldest release if an engneering rom exists. I actually spent more time looking into this yesterday. I did sequential question search using google AI, and asked about finding a bit to change, etc. The answers sounded reasonable (AI is sometimes very good at that, so I am not sure if all were true ...) For one thing, it said the setting was in special partition. It might have said encrypted. And that the special protection firmware in the T-Mobile models check any changes to that partition. I saved the interaction to a file, but have not edited it for clarity yet. But it was convincing enough to completely give up on BE2028, and the Metro model (# ?).

@gpatel-fr it was about a year ago, I didn't do extensive testing, but none of the .mkv I tried worked, and .mp4 were very hit-and-miss. Good to know it isn't Hallium-related, perhaps there's hope to fix it on this device. @Charly the issue w/ that is that, AFAIK, Libertine apps aren't hardware-accelerated, and video playback often gets choppy (it was one of the workarounds I tried). Didn't try the snap version though.

@pparent Would it be helpful for you to have a second phone?

@developer there are some freedesktop standards we need, also flatpak integration, outside of that we need eSIM support and way way better waydroid support. outside of that we need a waydroid compatibilty chart for every major banking app in every country we also need guides to what messanger has what feature supported natively and how to set it up. also we probably want to make a public transport app and start supporting every single country we can. we also need sms forwarding (i remember people asking about it in the forums) a secure wallet for NFC, so someone needs to expose the treble APIs for hardware backed encryption so we can store credit card NFC tags safely. (to please the google/apple pay users) and much much more. we need to compile every UT feature and aspire to feature parity with vanila android (not the apps just pure android) i'd make a full comparison chart but i dont have the time

Uhmm.... I'll be honest, I don't know how to take your last few posts. I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me.

@MrT10001 thanks

@gpatel-fr Huh! A challenge like that. I'll try my best...

@MrT10001 does it also work on 2GB/32GB version with android 10 because there isn't a update to android 11?

@Sander - Wow. Thank you so much!! This is amazing!! I never thought to try to tap somewhere else. This is absolutely awesome and makes using the terminal a pleasant experience, even on a phone! Thanks again for sharing this gem!!

@pparent Shouldn't this franco-frenchy thread better be in https://forums.ubports.com/category/133/french-francais section of the forum ?

Interesting answers here are from Plamen, from Braxtech: Q: Will there be an easily buildable close-to-mainline Linux kernel? Will changes be upstreamed to the mainline linux kernel? A: Yes, to both. We’re getting that promise from MediaTek and the integrator they hired for the linux part. Q: Will fingerprint support work on linux? How will the camera look? Should we expect the camera to be green and blurry at the start? A: The mandate is to get everything working, as it will on Android. We will communicate a linux roadmap in due course. One of the main reasons for selecting the g720 by MediaTek (and not a way cheaper alternative such as Rockchip 3588) was the strategic importance for MediaTek to run linux on it - this is their latest high end IoT chip. Most of their customers for the chip will run Linux. Obviously, the camera won’t beat iPad, but it will not be crap.

@Moem Thanks for the info and for the hard work of the contributors.

@Moem Sent email. Waiting to hear back. I'm guessing you're right, cheap provider.

It works To do it on the smartphone with fingers is a little bit fiddly. Then I used the end of pencil with a kind of rubber, than it was easer Thanks again!

How is the Installer progressing to work with Apple Silicon (i.e. M1, M2,M3,M4 and now M5 CPU's) based PC's and Laptops? There are still questions (in one of the Telegram channels) on why devices are not working on Noble when it is available to download on the installer before soft bricking the device. Could Noble be removed from these devices installer until it is resolved?

@gpatel-fr said in standard browser: @kugiigi said in standard browser: At the moment, it's a bit random which browser will open in every boot of the device Is not it ruled by the order of rows in the configfiles table of urls-1.db ? It's not changing by itself. For fun, I tried to hack the urls table with instruction like: update urls set domainsuffix='nothing.org' where sourcefile != 27 and protocol='https' and length(domainsuffix)==0; where 27 is the rowid of the morph browser qt6 for my phone. It worked, I could start the new fangled browser from a link. Restarting the phone did not revert to standard Morph for links. At the moment I don't know if it has bad consequences but I'd say that extending UT to allow for a browser choice can't be impossible. Sadly you are right for browsers not prepared for that, Min did not start when I used its rowid instead of the Morph Qt6 one. Firefox and Chromium do not even expose http and https handlers. Maybe it could be hacked around but given that Min does not even start I could not be bothered to try. How did you determine that the row id is 27 for Morph QT6? I want to do this so I can actually open links in the modernized browser. Edit: is it the row in the configfiles table? Edit 2: Yep. Got it! Maybe this should be turned into an app.

@PhAndersson Right, while searching for another problem, I just stumbled on something that looks like an answer. there is in this directory: /etc/dbus-1/system.d a bunch of files configuring the authorizations for dbus; for example (taken for its brevity): cat com.lomiri.UserMetrics.conf <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd"> <busconfig> <policy user="usermetrics"> <allow own="com.lomiri.UserMetrics"/> </policy> <policy context="default"> <allow send_destination="com.lomiri.UserMetrics"/> <allow receive_sender="com.lomiri.UserMetrics"/> </policy> Now, it's sure that the system.d directory does not seem the right place for a user level service. At the moment I have no clue where a file configuring the dbus authorization for the org.bluez.obexd service should be created. But I tend to think that creating one is the proper thing to do because I don't see a reason why obexd should be forbidden to send message to its agents. It should be allowed whatever security reason there is to block general message sending. So this could be the proper way (TM) for your application to run confined.

@DJac Yep! If you want, you could scroll to top, click the gear icon near the blue reply button, Mark as a Question, then Mark as Solved. Helps with forum tidiness.

@muskist I have bought this up with the installer developers as there is some devices where the upgrade to Noble fails - OP6/6T, Lenovo Tab M10 TB-X605F/L, Xiaomi Mi A2 to name three... I know the OP6 and 6T is being worked on. I guess (and I am assuming, dangerous, don't assume) they are awaiting porters to bring the devices on as Focal worked, Noble should work.
