    @idonthatevests said: Patches that implement repository switching mechanism for system updates have been suggested a few months ago but gained no attention. Same with mirror hosting proposals. strictly speaking no patch is really necessary to switch repos, since none of the systems involved (ubport.com, gitlab.com, github.com) has dnssec enabled, so if the device is tricked into following a different server, it will work just as well. By definition if the server don't use dnssec, there is no way for the client to test it. Lying DNS servers are evil only if the users don't know. Many Linux users already use fully knowingly lying DNS servers (PiHole for example) Concretly, the lying DNS server could be setup at local Wifi level by each user wanting to use a mirror. So the only hard requirement is an agreement for mirroring since this consumes bandwidth, and possibly some Api for the store (not sure about that). Where are the mirror hosting proposals you are mentioning ? I follow this forum since nov 2025 and I don't recall having seen something like it.

    @Alter You are very right about assuming it might help someone else! Thanks: knowing the storage location, I can backup without need for an evernote account.

    Pour la ROM d'origine : https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-7 Je n'ai pas le détail, mais je suppose qu'il faut utiliser "fastboot" pour l'installer. (Plus facile avec un PC linux : sinon, tu auras également besoin des drivers windows pour ton téléphone : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/installing-xiaomi-drivers-for-pc.73382/). Mais si vous aviez auparavant installé LineageOS, ce n'est sans doute pas un problème ?

    @XPran Great! Although note that I see you have selected "24.04-1.x daily" which is a development version, it's more recommended to install "24.04-1.x stable". It's a known issue that the installer proposes you the first option. Enjoy Ps: If you're still looking for a whatsapp solution, you can try my app "Whatsnew" from the openstore.

    @pparent said: it is an OS sepcific feature to decide how you are going to display the captive portal. now you have seen the reaction to your MR Quote from Gitlab: I have a deep interest in captive portal as a feature being also available to other distros (such as pmOS or Mobian)

    I have been looking into improving energy consumption recently. There's capacity to greatly improve the battery life from switching off features on a device. On my FP5 I can consume overnight ~30% battery with all features on, WiFi, BT, Location, NFC, 5G, device locked. Compared to 2% with only 2G enabled and device locked. This has had me looking into shell scripts on the forum and the battery-saver app from open-store. I'm looking for something light that would just disable all these features without going into each option and then restore everything back as I had it. To me this seems like something that should be included into a toggle on the Battery pull-down menu itself, much like most modern devices have a "low power mode". How feasible would a toggle option to disable all these power hungry features and set the radio to the most energy efficient available in your location. Then toggling back would restore what you had previous. It seems like something the OS should provide and not additional apps. Is this something people would want to use from the OS itself rather than additional possibly more flexible unconfined apps? I would say being part of the OS leaves scope for more battery saving options if it was to be taken further as the OS matures, maybe scheduler tweaks or manual display brightness settings for example. But keeping everything a simple toggle for the UX.

    @domubpkm there is only so much data you can push over Bluetooth. Bluetooth file transfer will always be slow (sometimes very very slow).

    @developerbayman This thread is not about touch or gestures in Lomiri. It is about gestures on the virtual trackpad that the device becomes when it is connected to a screen wirelessly via Miracast.

    @lsitongia I had missed the part where you said you were testing PR packages on the device.
