  Two questions regarding the current plans for apps across different mobile distros. They might be stupid or previously answered, but I did not have much luck with the search function. I'm not particularly concerned with the state of affairs at the moment, this is more about where the development is headed over the next months and years. As far as I understand, Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch are making some efforts to make the same Qt apps run effortlessly on both platforms. Is it likely that the same app store (OpenStore, I assume) would be a default feature on both platforms? The Gnome world seems to have a completely different take on the issue, with GTK4 apps developed with an adaptable interface using libhandy being seen as the way of the future. Will software developed in this manner (like future releases of Geary or Gnome Maps) be easily available on UT, possibly even in the OpenStore? And should it be expected to run about as well on Ubuntu Touch as, say, PostmarketOS? Guess I'm just worried about fragmentation.

  @Aircooled This is our porting thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3702/yu-black-garlic and the port has really only just started having a quick look. Your best asking there but please keep in mind these port are very device specific so a clone very well may not work because of that. As your device is not on our supported device list I will move this to OT for now. Thanks.

  I have an interesting problem - running Anbox on a Nexus 5. Fdroid can access the internet and install apps, but my android apps cannot. I've searched the forum and see the same question asked several times, but no answer. So hoping someone knows how to fix this?

  @CiberSheep There are already device specific settings in lomiri which device configuration handles. For example, there's a recently added for multi-color LED support. I guess we can have additional settings here for the notches and rounded corners.

  @Flohack Sorry not sure what you mean. It's just that @manland has set it up using librspot which will not work with the free account that's all.

  @Kyrylo i have the Oneplus 3t and it works for me; it doesn't always show the tethering icon up top though, so it looks like it's not working maybe that's your issue?

  @AppLee It does not affect system language though, so the text there should be whatever system language you have set. @josevidal It is a defect and should be reported as such.

  To be fair, Lomiri is not usable even on bionic. No, I would say focal is not supported yet. It's really only remotely usable in the x86 Ubuntu Touch image. Normal deb installs even on 16.04 have issues, and Lomiri and its components don't work fully properly on systemd yet either, so newer versions only have more problems.

  I honestly think the point is being missed here especially with the support issue. This is not UBports selling new devices devices in a commercial way and not offering support for them. They are not being flashed by UBports and then sold without support. It is meant to just enable an individual to point out they have a device for sale somewhere subject to the normal terms and conditions of that market site and that is it. End of story. As I said before if you are buying from one of these sites it is up to the buyer to do their research and ask questions of the seller. The Ubports sites will have full details of the devices affected by any change or dropping of support no doubt clearly displayed on it as we do with all other major changes to the OS. We will not be hiding the fact that support is being changed or unfortunately dropped for some older devices if they cannot cope with future OS development. I stand to be corrected but I think this will only affect some of the original UT devices which will be well past the normal support cut off offered by android etc.

  @Mark : thank you for the clarification. I was afraid to have missed something. Unfortunately, as said in the other thread, I've not the knowledge needed to solve the graphical problem. Good evening Pulsar33
