    @kugiigi Not a surprise because Oren Klopfer is the guy who has made a lot of work to push UT on pine64 devices and is also behind Rhino linux distro.

    @freddo I see that files on system-image.ubports.com are stored with digital signatures, so, the situation is better here, but still requires implementing mechanism of choosing mirrors in installer software. I'll take a look at that soon. Thanks

    @DJac Je précise au passage que BlaBlacar n'est pas utilisé qu'en France. En Espagne ou je voyage régulièrement c'est très rependu. Je ne sais pas tous les pays ou c'est utilisé mais j'imagine qu'il y a plusieurs pays d’Europe qui l'on adopté. (Je dis ça car ces infos intéressent peut-être donc des non-francophones).

    @oldbutndy I don't totally understand all the N10 versions (and I really tried at one point!) but Ruben, the porter/maintainer, has said that the T-Mobile / Metro versions should work, despite what the device page says. You'll find at least one other post in the N10 section of the forum that shows someone using an N10 Metro, in USA, who now has VoLTE. I think no one wants to guaratee it, as it's not what the porter uses, but it sounds like it'll work. I think Factory Unlocked generally just means it was never locked to a carrier, but doesn't mean bootloader is unlocked. I found downgrading android, after unlocking the bootloader, to be a pain on the N10, but I'm pretty novice at that sorta stuff, and I got it done in the end. Seek instructions, get the MSM tool, understand EDL mode. You'll figure it out! Good luck!

    @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

    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.

    @gpatel-fr It's really as simple as, if set to English (Canada): Contact: +15145555555 will reliably be found by prediction once I type +151 Contact 15145554444 will not be found no matter what I type Contact (514)555333 will not be found no matter what I type Other contact formats (514) 555-5555, similarly won't be found. Nothing without the initial +. Anyhow, I'm quite happy about the T9! Many thanks to you for making me aware of it, and for your help in diagnosing things. And many thanks to Lionel for creating the function! My extensive (long-winded) testing was to try to be helpful, but I'm quite satisfied with how things function at present. If the phone number predictions get improved for databases as mangled as mine, and various weird international standards, all the better! But sadly, I don't think I'm the person who will succeed with that.
