  @lakotaubp It was, I was hoping for Italy to win and they nearly pulled it off. The England v Scotland match yesterday evening was just as good.

  @audrew It would help those that know if this is possible what you are trying to achieve. Please remember UT is designed as a mobile OS not a pc.
  That said you can also ask here the main Telegram group http://t.me/ubports or https://t.me/breakyourut for more odd stuff.

  The problem is the battery consumption, it lasts 2 hours with the scripts activated on my nexus.

  @dunbrokin No, not really (if you are a developer and porting there is a way, but it is not easy as I have found out (not a developer)).

  I'm stuck on the first step in getting to install UnbuntuTouch on my Lenovo x606F, the dpwngrade from Android 10 to Android9 I am not used to Android and have never tried to reflash an Android device before; all the threads I can find on the topic seem very specific to particular versions of flashing software and device.
  So, I am using

  Manjaro Linux (I don't have a Windows system) SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2152_Linux (I can't use the most recent versions of the flash tool, as they expect an xml file for download, instead of the scatter.txt file that Android 9 has) Lenovo_Tab_M10_FHD_Plus_TB-X606F_MT6765_S000009_210526_BMP as my Android9 image.

  I can't get the Flash Tool to write anything to the tablet at all; I have tried both starting with the tablet off and holding down volume and/or power while connecting the USB, and using 'adb reboot fastboot' after starting download on the Flash Tool. Whichever I do I get the same result:

  ./flash_tool.sh QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. sysname:Linux nodename:gromit release:5.15.89-1-MANJARO version:#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 18 20:37:11 UTC 2023 machine:x86_64 domainame:(none) cur_kernel_version = 5.15.89 QObject::moveToThread: Cannot move objects with a parent support_dl_cert_to_storage: 0 Application asked to unregister timer 0xa00001b which is not registered in this thread.

  The tablet itself reports that it is in fastboot mode.

  Any ideas?
  Thanks

  @josele13 yes that's an idea ;-).
  I think i will just start with the less possible change. Meaning just allowing more than 4 digits and no change regarding UX ( empty dots that have the length of expected pin code and auto-login ).
  Improvement can come afterward.

  @lakotaubp Yes. I knew the essential Webber is updated for 20.04. That's very good news. This is one of the conditions to upgrade to 20.04. As far as I'm concerned, it won't be until the hotspot works at least on the RC channel on the Volla because I can't do without it. A lot of developers are making great efforts to adapt essential apps to 20.04, including Jami Kettunen. Thanks to them.

  its better to list any device overlay in some way
  like usb_moded will crash if not properly configured

  my experience, usb_moded fail to write mtp mode, and kernel crash bcoz mtp mode pointer null but its enabled

  and why in focal binary launch with --desktop_file_hint= wont work in some binary?
  like anbox, sdl wont open window if --desktop_file_hint= passed

  but if run from lomiri terminal without --desktop_file_hint= its open the sdl window with blank destop icon(not icon lomiri terminal)

  what api changes had to be written in some where i think

  and my advice

  its better had device-hacks before and after lxc-android-config
  not jus after lxc-android-config

  sorry if this not in right place to asks

  Call for translations Internationalization (i18n) of Ubuntu Touch 20.04

  The UBports team has moved most of the translation workflows for localizing Ubuntu Touch over to Hosted Weblate:

  https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/lomiri/ https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ayatana-indicators/ https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/ https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/open-store-io/

  To contribute to the UBports projects you need to register here:
  https://hosted.weblate.org/accounts/register/

  The localization platform of all UBports / Lomiri components is sponsored by Hosted Weblate [https://hosted.weblate.org/about/] via their free hosting plan for Libre and Open Source Projects. Many thanks for providing this service.

  Translating Lomiri

  The translation components in the Lomiri project have already been set up and are ready for being updated by translators. Please expect some translation template changes for all those components to occur in the near future, but this should not hinder you from starting translation work right away.

  Translating Lomiri will bring the best i18n experience to Ubuntu Touch 20.04 end users for the core libraries and the pre-installed (so called) Core Apps.

  Translating Ubuntu Touch Apps

  For App Developers (apps that are not among the Core Apps) we will now offer a translation slot under the UBports project on hosted.weblate.org:

  https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/

  If you are actively maintaining an Ubuntu Touch app, please ask for a translation component on hosted.weblate.org and we will set up your app's translation workflow for and with you. Using the translation service at Hosted Weblate is not a must for app developers, it's rather a service we offer to ease i18n work on Ubuntu Touch apps.

  To get translations for your app set up on Hosted Weblate, please get in touch with us on https://t.me/ubports, please highlight @sunweaver (Mike Gabriel), @BetaBreak (Raoul Kramer), @cibersheep and @Danfro with your request.

  Wherever there is privacy, security has been implemented. I think Privacy is a subordinate element and a byproduct of Security.

  It's hard for me to understand some of your last explanation. Nevertheless, I have no hard thoughts, so let's just leave it at that.

  Hi
  I was listening to the latest Postmarketos podcast and found out that they have soon three phones which you could install their OS/GUI using the Ubports installer. It is the Oneplus 6, Shift6MQ and soon the Fairphone 4. Great work Postmarketos and welcome to our installer 🙂
  Hear all about it here:
