    @Mario.CH said: Unfortunately, the search function isn't great—to be honest, it's pretty bad. I think a dedicated internal AI would probably be useful here. Greetings, Mario Hi Mario, a few months ago, as total newbie, I did not even know some of the questions I needed to search for or ask in forum. So, I just read a variety of forum threads for days. Some of what I learned was recent info, NOT yet shown on devices pages, and important enough that it should have been. That is why I think the effort that @sm-xcx is attempting is so critically important. Not so much for us already using UT on a device, but the entire rest of the world who might WANT to try UT. The device page is the GATEWAY to the whole thing. It is the ENABLER of UT growth (besides having at least 1 ported, functional device, obviously...)

    @xeus2001 you don't say which version of Ubuntu Touch you use. It has been reported that last update to 24.04-1.2 broke something in USB mode changing, maybe your problem could be related ? @slowcyclist

    There's no universal "back" action in UT, the same way most OSes don't have it except Android and Windows phone. There's a back button in each app but can be implemented differently and reacts to different key bindings or none at all. This has been discussed many times already and honestly, I don't think we can have a universal back action similar to Android. The best we can do is probably to design the standard toolkit to make it easier to trigger. That's another discussion that has been discussed many times too but needs someone to actually design and implement it. I personally have many experiments on this. My older apps like Palitan for example has swipe up on the bottom left edge to go back (or whichever button is at the top left). My newer apps like Tagatuos and Sapot Browser, you can swipe left or right on the bottom edge. Ambot Installer also has a package called MariKit which adds this gesture is apps that use UT's standard toolkit. I personally like this gesture but there needs to be a deeper and proper discussion if we really want it

    @richdb said: Awesome!! I really needed this. The other app in the store was nothing more then a wrapper and did not really worked well. Other question, there is also TooterB (Mastodon client) and Wisperfish (Signal) in the openrepos.net. Are those apps easy to port to UbuntuTouch? Maybe Wisperfish not at first because there is a Signal desktop app in the store, but the Mastodon apps in the store do not really work (wrapper that not remember your password). But again, awesome you port this proton mail bridge app. At this point, calling it a port would not really be correct. It was rewritten from C++ to Rust, and uses the official bridge instead of Hydroxide. But in any case, porting is always possible. Just a matter of how much effort one wants to put it into it. In the case of Whisperfish, there have been several attempts(ish) to port it to UT, but they never got far. The native Axolotl client for Ubuntu Touch was using the same library that Whisperfish uses (and maintains!), but development of Axolotl stalled. It would be great to have Whisperfish on UT. But I am absolutely not ready to undertake something like that, lol.

    @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.
