    @voorstad :That is a valid point! I assume the answer is inertia. I will bring this up at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees.

    Hier een UBports Fairphone 5 eigenaar die nog een Murena Android (e/os/) ontgoogelde smartphone als daily driver gebruikt. Voor mijn gebruik zijn er nog net teveel zaken zijn die (nog) niet op UBports lekker werken. Denk aan de verouderde Morph browser (waar Proton Mail, Pass, Drive etc. niet op willen starten), Webber die de bug heeft dat Android apps niet als shortcut in UBports gezet kunnen worden (FP5 bug) en Signal dat alleen als Desktop app native kan werken. Ook mis ik de bluetooth ondersteuning vanuit de browser en Waydroid, waardoor ik bijvoorbeeld geen Meshcore kan draaien. Maar ik heb hoop dat e.e.a. gaat verbeteren en dat er een moment komt waarop ik afscheid kan nemen van Android, Ik zie uit naar die dag.

    @wgarcia Hi ! Sorry, I'm not sure to understand what you mean. This aGPS function (Xtra download) only download ephemeral, like tell Vlad. So it is a pure GPS function and it don't use WiFi or Bluetooth or scanning near cell tower. For the test please disable all GPS improvement system : So in Android settings : Improve Location Accuracy = off and Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning = off and not in High Accuracy mode. So you need to put you Android in Device only GPS to be sure to disable all other functions. It just download a satellite map at this moment. And we just need Internet data (mobile data or Wi-Fi) just one time a day. You can download the data in your home and use GPS after. We use SatStat to download aGPS (the first option in the menu). So you can do the experiment as you share at the top of the topic, or like this : I prefer this way, because we are sure that it don't use other function that ask an external server to give the location. Open Waydroid Disable GPS in Waydroid Start SatStat Download aGPS in SatStat (the first item (Recharger les données AGPS in French) like in the Vlad picture) Wait 30 seconds and after Turn off Wi-Fi and Mobile data Close SatStat Go outside Enable GPS in Android Start SatStat and look, verify that it found GPS (at the bottom) and look at the TTFF : Time To First Fix. It should be quicker than 1 minute. Is it possible for you to test it ? Thanks a lot

    Hi, Just wanted to mention that a nice and easy addition to Ubuntu touch would be wifi captive portal via RFC 8910 and RFC 8908. It is actually very simple: 1- When you get a DHCP lease in the wifi interface look for option 114 2- If there is a URL in option 114 it's an API, just make a simple HTTP GET request on this URL (no parameters or header) 3- The result will be a json, if it contains "captive"="true" and has an "user-portal-url" field then we should just open this "user-portal-url" in the browser and it will allow the user to authenticate to the captive portal and use the wifi! Really I think that's any easy addition, I may try to contribute this inside the OS when I have time. Ps: Adding a simple script in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ to do that should do the trick I guess.

    @mirroronthewall Yes, this is surprisingly useful, as it means you don't always have to whip out a hardware keyboard, which defeats the point of the small form factor of a phone. Missing support for modifier keys is a big issue when using GUI apps in Libertine, as touch-to-mouse conversion often doesn't behave as it should and can get you 'stuck', so a fallback to keyboard shortcuts is just as necessary there as it may be useful in general: actually, your idea of creating macros for anything seems to solve many problems (including mine) at once, so congrats - now we just need to figure out how! The closest I've found is Ambot Installer: Hacks and Mods, although I need to set up a persistent amd64 QEMU instance on my arm64 laptop before I can allow myself to experiment with it freely (it's the only way I got the installer working). Other tools may be available but I have not been able to surface them yet, I will update this thread as I learn more about the issue and potential solutions. [UPDATE] Here is a list of interesting posts related to this problem, which may be a good starting point for building a bridge towards the solution: These are previous conversations on the repos which appear to have been abbandoned: https://github.com/ubports/keyboard-component/issues/96 gitlab.com/ubports/apps/terminal-app/-/issues/78 https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-keyboard/-/issues/96 Instead, here are some useful links related to Malakiboard, which should be a good foundation to build macro functionality on: https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-click https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-installer https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-packages

    @projectmoon Thanks for your reply! Sorry to hear it is Meshtastic . The Lora community seem to move from Meshtastic to Meshcore for multiple reasons (reliability / reach). Hopefully native Meshcore support will become available as wel some day...

    Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu Unity 24.04 with Unity 7.7 desktop. I was wondering if it is possible to install Lomiri alongside to play around with it and switch between Unity 7.7 and Lomiri from the LightDM. I tried running Lomiri on Debian 13 but it did not work with multi-monitor in my case and so I cannot change to Lomiri as a primary desktop until this is repaired (as I see from the website, this is "under construction", per se). I love Unity and love to see the future of how this desktop develops as Lomiri formerly Unity 8. Thank you!!

    @uxes That is a great program, but I heard that ATL relies on GTK. Which is not integrated into UT. And besides, list of supported apps is limited compared to Waydroid.
