    @ma Thanks for your suggestion. Things are working now since downgrading to 24.04.1.x RC. I think the 24.04.2.x version had several things in read-only mode (only guessing from reading the logs that were generated). Even when trying commands as sudo, received similar errors "need root access, read access, etc". Appreciate your input.

    @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.

    First of all, hello to all people here I have got Lenovo Tab M10 HD (2nd Gen) with android 11 as it seems it is the best supported model of tablet. I've read the page: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/amar-row-wifi/release/noble/ and I understand I have to unlock bootloader as explained in https://unlocktechy.com/lenovo-tab-m10-hd-gen-2-unlock-bootloader and then follow instructions at https://snapcraft.io/ubports-installer However, I have no clarity on unlocking bootloader. The page linked above doesn't provide/link software for linux. I've borrowed windows machine to use dedicated USB-drivers but still the linked file is not exe but some dlls. Are using software provided by lenovo instead is a good idea? Link - https://lenovousbdriver.com/device/lenovo-tab-m10-hd-usb-driver Second question, how can I backup my original android 11 in case I've screw something? I don't want to use google account as I own only one for my job. I'd greatly appreciate support, I'm new in this.

    @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

    @gpatel-fr I like "Whatsnew" ! By the way I also have published a desktop application for whatsapp that fits well in KDE (but probably usable in other DE) and suits my needs ( Notifications, minimized state with small icon in the System Tray that allows to see fast if a new message was received ). All the applications available on snap being too old (Chromium engine too old), not compatible with Wayland, or limited in any way. https://github.com/pparent76/Whatslectron-Desktop/releases/tag/1.0.15

    @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.

    @wally said in BUDGET 5G smartphone w/ Ubuntu Touch: @idonthatevests Does this glitch involve the screen flickering? Does it seem to occur in conjunction with incoming notifications/messages? Yes, sometimes that happens when I try to reboot, screen starts flickering while in system and even if it stops, it will glitch out. Might be caused by using firefox, I think.
