    @ravachol I was able to get it working with Telenor. I had to manually enter APN servers. I have a Xiaomi Poco x3 nfc though, not a fairphone.

    @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 Thank you for a possible solution, but bummer on battery drain ! I need to research what effects of 24/7 charging would be on battery life. Could do that while phone in home office, then Waydroid off for mobility / cell use.

    @peat_psuwit This has fixed the problem I had upon updating to OTA-11 where I stopped receiving incoming SMS, and reflashing with the installer did not fix it. Fantastic news for me, though I don't know of any others who had quite this issue. This update also brings VoLTE and 5G to Oneplus Nord N10. I made my first VoLTE call ever in UT! I haven't stumbled into a 5G zone yet to test. SMS, MMS, mobile data are all funtioning perfectly so far. Everything else is functioning as normal too. I'll post again if I run into any issues. Thanks so much to everybody who worked on 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

    v0.5.1 is live now. New / Improved: Redesigned context menu (fully reworked for a cleaner, more consistent UX). New Help section explaining tab action buttons: Pin, Add to Favorites, Clear & Close, Close. Copy URL button added to the address bar. Background media playback: YouTube and other media sites can keep playing when the tab is not active. Tor updated to the latest bundled version. Fixes: Fixed several bugs of savings and coupons functionality On-screen keyboard Enter handling improved: better distinction between newline vs submit in input fields. Fixed Google Drive downloads (confirmation / popup flow now works correctly). Text selection & copy now works in mobile mode (currently for regular page text only; not yet for form fields). Other: Various small UI tweaks and polish.

    @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
