    @sm-xcx said: @oldbutndy As far as I know, if your bootloader isn't unlocked the the installer will inform you about that. As for unlocking the bootloader, steps for doing so may vary widely between devices and that guide is usually present in their xda threads, if not then maybe I'll try to look into that too, tho again these efforts are tedious and it will take time. Right now I'm almost done with updating the device listings and by today or tomorrow I'll ask for a mr for my changes. Once this is done we will figure out things further Hi, I was NOT asking you to add the crazy amount of detail that might be required for every manufacturer and model variation. I was not asking for ANY device detail. I was only suggesting a single sentence, to help potential new UT users understand (by themselves asking us or others), that something like different sub models of a specific phone might range from EASY to unlock, to IMPOSSIBLE to unlock. It is NOT obvious to new users. So, their experience as a UT newbie could range from FAILURE, to pretty good, or even great ! I was trying to help them BEFORE they spent money.

    @Shriharsh-Kulthe It is an old phone (with the micro USB port) and the fact it updated to Noble may indicate further work may be done. It is not a common device though and I did use it for my main UT device for a while.

    @lduboeuf thank you very much for taking this on, Lionel. When I looked at the code a few years ago, I was overwhelmed by the complexity.

    @kugiigi Mouse Button 8 is usually mapped to Back, Mouse Button 9 to Forward. Here on desktop plasma wayland, in a quick test Firefox, Thunderbird, Dolphin and Kate do something with it. I wouldn't know if emulating those events would be a good idea, or if encouraging apps to respect it would set a bad precedent that everyone will regret in the future though. I also tried connecting a usb mouse to Ubuntu Touch. It looks like those mouse buttons are not mapped at all, at least none of the apps react to it, including firefox(xmir)

    @naz.r I have a quick question, is there a reason why you start your app with XWayland rather than Wayland? Starting the app like this allows to start it in Wayland mode. It seems to work fine. Normally it should possibly allow to improve performances although I've not tested that. I also allows to have the correct icon of your app in the left taskbar. Thank you! export GDK_BACKEND=wayland export DISABLE_WAYLAND=0 export OZONE_PLATFORM=wayland export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:-wayland-0} export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 export DCONF_PROFILE=/nonexistent gpuoptions="--use-gl=egl --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=UseSkiaRenderer,VaapiVideoDecoder,ThreadedAnimation --disable-frame-rate-limit --disable-gpu-vsync --enable-oop-rasterization --enable-threaded-compositing" sandboxoptions="--no-sandbox --disable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations " waylandoptions="--ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform" ./app/merezhyvo $gpuoptions $sandboxoptions $waylandoptions

    @harmhero No, the M8 FHD is a different device. It has a different CPU, a different LCD, and more RAM. I actually own a M8 FHD device, and I like to support that device, too. However, I am currently busy with writing another book, so most likely this will not happen before late summer. Kai

    @kaktux Hi, A lot of effort has been made to upstream Lomiri to Debian. So I think it may be the way to go for you. The following command is to use on Debian Sid/Trixie: apt install lomiri lomiri-desktop-session lightdm Source: https://ubports.com/lomiri

    @KJU said: About adb&fastboot from the UT terminal, though, any such barrier there? There shouldn't be, no. I happened to pull a file from one UT device to another via ADB. So I know that works. In haven't tested fastboot myself, but I see no reason it wouldn't work.
