    @Yumi installed UT 2 days ago on 1+ Nord N10 (BE2026). UT talks about 'Desktop Convergence', so I tried to see if my phone could reproduce my Linux Mint LibreOffice 'desktop experience'. Easy to connect to WIRELESS external display (limited to 1080P), as long as that display runs Miracast (my LG TV's do). Then I connected Acasis multiport USB-C hub, with PD charging, a wired keyboard, wired mouse, Gigabit ethernet adapter and USB-A Flash drive. I installed LibreOffice via snap. (direct, no libertine required). I opened a spreadsheet that had been created on main PC. not as quick as main PC, but workable. Image on TV was a bit 'wavy', moving top to bottom, as it refreshed, or something. A phone model with WIRED external display capability probably fixes the 'wavy'. I did NOT exhaustively test this. It was just to see if it would work. If you have a specific thing to try, let me know. I might be able to give a quick test.

    On Q&A 181, Lee said that recent devices are harder and harder to port. Why is that the case? Shouldn't it be easier with Treble? Or are there some new limitations, such as locked bootloader?

    @mango Thank you for your insights. Are you able to help implement the changes you are mentioning?

    @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.

    @rocket2nfinity said We have work a rounds for the things that are still in progress, it is daily drivable. Is there a workaround for no WiFi calling ? Openstore shows Telegram - says it can make calls, but it looks like only app-to-app -but not to PSTN. I search using terms 'VOIP', and linphone shows up, but that says 'no longer available'. Any suggestions ?

    @peat_psuwit I managed to install on my sony xperia x - awesome!!! Any special thing to test? There is no sound at all. In terminal the command alsamixer gives an error: cannot load mixer controls: no such device.

    @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

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    Hey, I've noticed quite a few nice reviews popping up recently. The downside is that some of them are for the 16.04 installation, but awesome anyway, definitely need more videos like these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMKwLDQ0-wo
