    Hello everyone, I'm a new member of UBForum. Currently, I'm working on rewriting/restructuring the build files of 'halium-generic-adaptation-build-tools', including the "build.sh" script (located in the same directory as the deviceinfo folder). Because I feel that it's no longer suitable — or to put it simply, 'outdated'. Also, the build scripts don't run smoothly on some distros other than Debian/Ubuntu/Arch(?). Currently, I have a rewritten script called new_prepare_fake_ota.sh. It's still under heavy development, and its current version is beta0.1. new_prepare_fake_ota.txt The file above is the internal source of the script I mentioned earlier. Of course, I have no intention of uploading a virus or anything malicious! I just want to improve things a bit, so I’d really appreciate any feedback from you all — so that I, or even the community as a whole (if possible), can help make Ubuntu Touch more accessible to more users and more devices! Oh! also, add device topic "Redmi Note 11 Global" please I'm not a native English speaker, but I'll do my best.

    @RJDan The problem in this case is worse than that of installing packages via apt (which has workarounds). Zfs needs a dkms package installed which as far as I know cannot work in UT kernels. It should be possible however to compile the kernel with zfs support beforehand. An other way is to use libfuse to have the filesystem in userspace to not mess up with the OS, you have to search how to do that on your own though. Also, do you really need all the features of zfs or can btrfs work for you (which is in-tree)?

    Hi @ezst036 To clarify what everyone is saying, you have to swipe out the lock screen if you don't have any code set. It's still necessary to unlock the phone. It just doesn't mean what you think it means.

    I have good news; I managed to launch the ubports recovery for the Volla Phone 22, but the interface is too small, and USB isn't working yet. I have this strings in recovery log failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory

    @RJDan No, it doesn't have tiling mode. The closest thing is the side-stage but it's basically just split screen. It would indeed be nice to have tiling and there were people who already discussed about it showing interest but no one has yet to do the actual work If you know QML, you can already do some kind of prototype of it but the proper implementation needs to to do on the lower level stack too like Mir/QtMir.

    @alagirialagiri said in what's a good minimum translation completion percentage: @doniks I want to know whether the news section , question and answer blog posts are available in weblate translation in Tamil language.There is no navigation box available as available in documentation page.i request weblate translators to provide the language transulation Navigation box for every forum .Thanking you. As I said before, I think it would be best to create a new post to maximise the chances that the right people can react to your questions, rather than burry your questions here in this thread. I don't have access to the blog

    The last step installs the rootfs usually in system partition, see the install section of the porting documention. Basically flash the latest xenial image from the CI to system. Alternatively push the image with adb to /data/system.img when booted to recovery. Otherwise you could try ubports installer with only the systemimage:install command. You can also see the halium-install source code, particularly these lines. Be sure to check if this partition exists as partition schemes can vary.

    @ikoz Hi, Thanks for the reply... Unfortunately , test_gps doesn't work at all ("**** GPS interface not found Bye!*" ), tried that yesterday, no wrapping around it would give anything... looks like that comes from the hybris stack for old android stuff that accessed GPS hardware directly... Since I believe the hardware to be already locked/in use by the the software stack, I probably need to simulate the same approach (Qt > QtPosition or Dbus sessions ?) I'll try working with QtPositioning somehow since GPSToolkit uses it USB: yeah, i'll check again later, ideally, I just need a way to inject juice and have a single usb, dunno Network: Yeah, honestly, if it can be Hotspot AP + Station at the same time, all done in UI to keep my dirty fingers away of the network management, that'd be great, or even by splitting the radio chains, 2.4GHs AP, 5GHz Client if needed I know the hardware can do it (because It did work before installing UBt) But it's less of an emergency
