    @mango I did find & install snap for Thunderbird a couple days ago. Installs, but not open (actually, a 'fuzzy box with a text bar at top appears, but nothing in fuzzy box). Then tried series of questions on Google AI 'reasoning model' via browser. It had a series of troubleshooting commands to type in to terminal. I did not follow through yet due to sharing the same display between UT phone and main PC doing the AI thread. Summary was AI estimate of required spending approximately 10 hours on configuration, IF using UT on a phone that had WIRED external monitor, USB Keyboard, mouse, etc. AI thought MANY more hours required if using a wireless external display. I gave up on Thunderbird at that point. Searched for snap for Linphone. found none. Found snap for Signal. Installed. No account so it shows "failed to connect to server". So, it might work. Firefox snap install process gave error: bad plugs or slots: kerberos-tickets (unknown interface "kerberos-tickets"). No icon installed on main screen. Just installed Brave browser via snap. Installed with no errors, opens on wireless external display, and performs a web search, & display correctly. (5 second test. NOT comprehensive. but it opened & looked OK)

    @richarddb Hallo Richard! Ik heb wel een paar antwoorden over mijn eigen gebruik: bankzaken: op de bank. Thuis, op de laptop. Signal: Signal in Waydroid als primaire client, en elke twee maanden even aan. Signal UT als secondaire client. Werkt goed. Delta Chat: Delta Touch. Werkt goed. Proton mail, Proton Pass: weet ik niet, gebruik ik niet. Mastodon gebruik ik niet maar ik zie wel Mastodon apps in de Open Store, die zou ik eerst eens proberen.

    @Er.Pe Probably the solved problem isn't really solved. To be honest, I am not sure, if texts now are coming in without any failure. There seem to be still messages sent, but not shown on my device. Although I am not able to quantify the amount, because I receive text messages (SMS) not every day. I will give notice, if I should get to know more details.

    @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

    @pdgf Building a UBports recovery for the stand-alone porting method requires a ramdisk-recovery.img file to be placed in the device tree's root directory. Currently one has to fetch it from a different device tree in GitLab, but I've proposed changes so that it's available as an artifact on our Jenkins CI instance. Will update this once the recovery ramdisk is downloadable from Jenkins.

    @lxxlxx said in Cross compiling for arm64: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal Oddly enough http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/ has no arm64 folder... Oh, a quick Google Search revealed the link should actually be http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/binary-arm64/

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

    @idonthatevests The N10 5G is 5G. The N100 is similar, but no 5G. Some people said they ordered N10 from somewhere, but got N100, so watch out for that. If in USA, search for BE2026. You might have trouble unlocking BE2028. on Ebay, over 10 used N10's (some BE2026) have sold for under $100 in past 2 months. Some new-in-box BE2026 have recently sold for over $150.
