    Interesting answers here are from Plamen, from Braxtech: Q: Will there be an easily buildable close-to-mainline Linux kernel? Will changes be upstreamed to the mainline linux kernel? A: Yes, to both. We’re getting that promise from MediaTek and the integrator they hired for the linux part. Q: Will fingerprint support work on linux? How will the camera look? Should we expect the camera to be green and blurry at the start? A: The mandate is to get everything working, as it will on Android. We will communicate a linux roadmap in due course. One of the main reasons for selecting the g720 by MediaTek (and not a way cheaper alternative such as Rockchip 3588) was the strategic importance for MediaTek to run linux on it - this is their latest high end IoT chip. Most of their customers for the chip will run Linux. Obviously, the camera won’t beat iPad, but it will not be crap.

    @mobbs please take the cautions in the message before yours at heart. As this is really a very old post and it has been made clear that installing UT on Gigaset devices is not supported I will lock this thread. If you feel the topic needs further discussion please strat a new thread.

    hmm, for lack of an answer, via matroska.org; I found 8 .mkv test files; 5 are playing fine on UT, 2 are failing because of a missing mpeg4 codec - I think that it is the same bug as this one in fact, the fix that is known in principle just needs to find a bit of storage space, and the test4.mkv has a broken structure - vlc can play it because it papers over the problem, but gstreamer on a standard Ubuntu workstation can't; it's a gstreamer limitation. So Halium has very probably no relationship with problems reading .mkv files. That's entirely a linux level matter.

    Hello, I would like to ask a question about the following behaviour. In various Gtk/Xwayland apps ( in Chormium for UT, Signal UT, Min Browser, Rocket.Chat) when a secondary X window is opened (like menu window or overlay window), and I see it gets immediatly resized full screen (which is not normal). Then it bothers it and it closes immediately. This is kind of problematic. My questions is: 1- Is there a lomiri deamon that resize automatically new XWayland windows to fullscreen 2- Is it possible to disable this behaviour, or at least for certain windows? 3- I see that in uWolf the problem does not happen how come? @fuseteam any idea? Here are the X logs for example when I open the menu of the Min browser: bin/xev -root CreateNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, parent 0x3ef, window 0x800013, (-53,66), width 829, height 1433 border_width 0, override YES MapNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, override YES ConfigureNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, (125,302), width 829, height 1433, border_width 0, above 0xe00003, override YES ClientMessage event, serial 18, synthetic YES, window 0x800013, message_type 0x111 (_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW), format 32 PropertyNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, atom 0x111 (_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW), time 635893, state PropertyNewValue FocusOut event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyPointer FocusOut event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyPointerRoot FocusIn event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyDetailNone KeymapNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ConfigureNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800004, (0,0), width 1080, height 2277, border_width 0, above 0x800013, override NO PropertyNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, atom 0x111 (_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW), time 635897, state PropertyNewValue ConfigureNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, (125,302), width 829, height 1433, border_width 0, above 0x800004, override YES ConfigureNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, (125,302), width 1080, height 2277, border_width 0, above 0x800004, override YES UnmapNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, from_configure NO UnmapNotify event, serial 19, synthetic YES, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, from_configure NO DestroyNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013 PropertyNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, atom 0x111 (_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW), time 635961, state PropertyNewValue FocusOut event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyDetailNone FocusIn event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinearVirtual KeymapNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 157 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (We see that we have a fullscreen resize here: ConfigureNotify event, serial 19, synthetic NO, window 0x3ef, event 0x3ef, window 0x800013, (125,302), width 1080, height 2277, border_width 0, above 0x800004, override YES )

    @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

    Anyway in the long run we will hopefully switch to Wayland when Mir2.x is included in the system, and then the OSK will be handled differently that it currently is. Not sure whether the 24.04.2 branch will include Mir2.x .

    Updates since my last post: I disabled more useless kernel features I had to add some code to keep the pstore feature working The WLAN and the Bluetooth driver are now compiled into the kernel The artifacts.zip now contains a vbmeta.img file to simplify the installation The repo now includes a script to disable the ugly "Orange State" warning. customizelk.py patches the lk.img from the stock ROM to just return from the function which displays the message. This also avoids the additional 5sec wait time. Please note that this is purely cosmetic. Have fun, Kai

    @uwahl I understand your concern but that is sadly not related to my post I'm talking about the virtual touchpad when connected to an external display.

    @developer there are some freedesktop standards we need, also flatpak integration, outside of that we need eSIM support and way way better waydroid support. outside of that we need a waydroid compatibilty chart for every major banking app in every country we also need guides to what messanger has what feature supported natively and how to set it up. also we probably want to make a public transport app and start supporting every single country we can. we also need sms forwarding (i remember people asking about it in the forums) a secure wallet for NFC, so someone needs to expose the treble APIs for hardware backed encryption so we can store credit card NFC tags safely. (to please the google/apple pay users) and much much more. we need to compile every UT feature and aspire to feature parity with vanila android (not the apps just pure android) i'd make a full comparison chart but i dont have the time

    @MrT10001 I don't quite remember what the installer did when I flashed my phone (happy memories... not ) but from browsing v2/checkDownloads.ts I'd say that the installer is saving stuff in a sub-directory called 'download' from the current directory when it was launched.

    Uhmm.... I'll be honest, I don't know how to take your last few posts. I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me.
