  @moem Oh yes! I have seen in youtube reviews, posts, comments and more how popular the pixel 3a is getting. The Nexus 5 is kind of old to keep supporting it, but seems to be very popular still for being a cheap phone.
  Both phones in a way where supported by Google itself. Now, there are a lot of new devices comning out everyday. Keep giving support to such and old phone, might be difficult. A natural transition, and since it is becoming very popular might be the changee in promoted phones. Chaging the nexus 5 for the pixel 3a should be the most natural trasition in my opinion. I understand that the magic of these linuxy systems is to increase it's support for many years to prevent obsolence; however, let's face it. There are even as chep as nexud 5 phones with more recent versions of android. Nexus, one plus one and fairphones are old phones tha are no longer in production. New people comming to Ubuntu touch will find it difficult to find promoted phones in the future since it wil be no more of those specific 3 phones. In my experience, it has been very hard to check purchase options for those 3 promoted phones. People use to have more Xiaomi phones since are cheap.

  @fuseteam said in Snap Crackle and Pop! Readwrite rootfs is overrated:

  When i first heard of ubuntu touch i was pretty excited to see a OS i could be in control of, as i never like how android worked and such.

  like many the idea of using my phone as a "PC" really fascinated me, especially since at the time i had a laptop with 3GB of RAM and smartphone were beginning to get just as much RAM.
  you can imagine my disappointment when canonical announced the drop.....

  +1 my brother! 😢

  sooo what packages already work?

  according reports and my own (crude) tests the following packages appear to work:

  vim nmap htop mc curl tmux tree sshfs

  NICE! 😁

  Thank you for this awesome tool/project and I will keep an eye on it in the future! 😉

  Phone : OnePlus One

  I have recetly installed Anbox on my phone while waiting for Waydroid to mature more. Hopefully its easy to switch over when it comes times.

  In doing so, one thing i have noticed is what OP os talking about. Usually what i have to do is run

  adb kill-server

  Reboot the phone and then try

  adb devices

  and that should show your device with it being online

  @mateo_salta Which you mean?
  In any case, favicons are already cached though there seems to be a bug. I have a fix for it but I can't remember if I already proposed it in a PR. I haven't done developments in a while 😅

  @hobanwashburn You came onto this forum, and created multiple threads and a comment in an already existing thread, basically ranting about how UT is not a traditional Linux distro, and telling us what we should do.

  So yes, that is "stomping in." And here you are attempting to refute by doing more of the same.

  There is documentation about how to contribute with development. There are chat groups. Developers actively help people. We have places to open tickets about issues. So clearly, you didn't even take the initiative to attempt to contribute.

  Legacy apps aren't going to work well on a phone, and in many cases even with an external dislpay and mouse/keyboard, it will still be an inferior experience to using those apps on a real PC, even if everything was working perfectly on the UT side.

  @moem if they are chill that's cool haha. Normally when I read those kind of answers people are kind of stressed like why this guy doesn't understand?!, and I'm like. Is just a what if question, nothing serious.

  Hi,

  I have been using Ubuntu Touch on my Volla phone for over a week now and encountered some issues with the UI/Launcher thingy. I thought I list them here, maybe they are already getting addressed?

  No support for phones with rounded corners. No support for phones with camera notch. Lockscreen doesn't work as intended, I suppose to see some text when I tap the circle but it just tries to show the launcher instead. The place where you see all the apps is slow and sometimes show duplicates Anbox apps.

  Other then this I didn't notice anything big or annoying.
  I really like the gesture to open the running apps view and to open the list of apps.

  The rounded corners and camera notch issue I fixed by applying this "hax" https://github.com/JamiKettunen/unity8-notch-hax It is not perfect but it did help a lot.

  I hope it helps a little reporting on it 🙂

  Hello guys!

  I want to help translate UBports Docs with Weblate, but there are different work statuses. An example:

  https://docs.ubports.com/de/latest/userguide/advanceduse/dav.html, 3rd paragraph:
  At the moment, the Ubuntu Touch graphical user-interface lacks a CardDAV implementation, but you can do it by using SyncEvolution + cron. There is a script you can run in the terminal, or via a phablet SSH connection. These instructions work for CalDAV as well.

  https://translate.ubports.com/translate/ubports-docs/documentation-userguide/de/?checksum=524f7589b8a5a4b (../../userguide/advanceduse/dav.rst:8), english:
  At the moment, there is no carddav implementation directly accessible from the Ubuntu Touch graphical user-interface, so the only way to sync carddav is by using syncevolution + cron. However, there is a simple way to do that with a script that you can run in the terminal or via phablet SSH connection. These instructions work for caldav as well.

  In addition, the text has already been translated, but the translation is not displayed. This is the case in many chapters, but not in all.

  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Regards, Martin

  @keneda No, it'll ship this November if stars align correctly 😄
  Pro1 is the one that's already released which has SD835. The Pro1-X has SD662.
