  @Coluix It sounds to me as if you are almost there! A new cable may help. It does take longer than you might expect for the installation to complete. You are not alone. It has taken me some frustrating time to migrate from one Nexus 5 on Ubports to a "new" one bu,t with help from this forum, I am at last there ... Good luck!

  @advocatux said in Any plans to have encryption as an option in future Ubuntu Touch installers?: @Opolork probably that'll be easier on non Android devices than the Android ones. Android devices impose many limitation on us, like for example, we can't re-lock the bootloader currently and things like that. On the other hand, and at your own risk, you can experiment with some approach like this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1012/one-method-to-encrypt-home-phablet I think I'll give that a miss.

  @3arn0wl said in Have pull down menu showing Airplane mode, WiFi, etc. fill screen.: @dieharddan I think the top bar is one of the really good design features of UT: it breaks system settings into logical groups, and they're literally one slide of a finger away. It also goes beyond just being a settings feature, with the calendar, and the email/matrix notification functions. Personally I'd like to see that extended more, but I know I'm in a minority on that one. Making the top bar itself customizable is an interesting idea though: I never use the Files or Language settings, for example, but I know that other people do. And they're always available under the settings icon, of course, for those odd times when they are needed. "Making the top bar itself customizable is an interesting idea though" Hi dieharddan. +1 to that.

  Hi All, I wanted to install Ubuntu Touch on Nexus 10 device. Fortunately I found that there is no out of the box port available (I always wanted to build from source manually then install). So I started following the instructions given in https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.html I reached to a point where I am suppose to create new manifest file. I am facing issues in understanding how to create it for my device. I figured that the device repository which is https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_manta and downloaded the lineage.dependencies file. In that file I was able to get the path and repository names for the dependencies. But I am not able to figure out what I should enter for variable "remote". Currently following is what I have in file halium/devices/manifests/samsung_manta.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <manifest> <project path="device/samsung/manta" name="android_device_samsung_manta" remote="[remote]" /> <project path="kernel/samsung/manta" name="android_kernel_samsung_manta" remote="[remote]" /> <project path="external/stlport" name="android_external_stlport" remote="[remote]" /> <project path="hardware/samsung_slsi/exynos5" name="android_hardware_samsung_slsi_exynos5" remote="[remote]" /> </manifest> I need help in putting together this file. Can someone help me with this please. I am using Ubuntu 18.04 OS. Thanks, Aravind

  @dobey said in New Launcher, edge channel.: @TotalSonic said in New Launcher, edge channel.: I think the ultimate plan (or at least one possible one) is to allow people to place widgets and launchers on the wallpaper background as if it was a "home" (same as if it was a non-vanilla-Gnome-3 desktop) - but that this will take time to code and the need to streamline the code and image size to what can be easily maintained makes the first step of getting rid of Scopes one that will have to happen in order to make any forward progress from there. Best regards, Steve Berson It has been an idea that a few people have mentioned. There is currently no plan to do it (nor do I think should there be, as it's not a convergent feature). I don't see why allowing icons and widgets on a "home" background (whether mobile, tablet, or desktop) would be consodered "not a convergent feature" when that feature is an integral part of most OS's in all 3 form factors. I do agree that coding that feature to be truly convergent would likely be difficult, and as such should not be a priority for the UBports team. Best regards, Steve Berson

  I don't know much about technology, but if it's possible, there will certainly be inspiration in each browser for each of the designers. I strongly hope so !!
