    Nice to hear Ubuntu Touch worked well for her, that is a fun way to learn the basics. You might also set up a simple contacts shortcut or favorites list so she can call family faster.

    Not sure if the article is still valid for 24.04 noble. Tried it, didn't notice any difference. Then I discovered app UT Tweak Tool which seems more handy than typing config files. In 24.04 noble, is there any way, even programmatically, to increase or decrease the different text sizes individually, as well as increase and decrease the icon sizes separately from scaling the text(s)? The scaling in app UT Tweak Tool scales everything, causing some text in some apps not being visible if the scaling is big. The default text size is quite small. In desktop mode, it seems that the scaling is different, but if adjusted it adjusts the scaling even in non-desktop-mode. Somehow, it would be desirable to have two different text(s) and icon scalings, one for the device itself standalone, and one scaling when connected in desktop mode. Usually, there is one text size for WindowTitles, one for Documents, one for Interface, one for Monospace and then there is usually a TextScaling factor that adjusts all text sizes (fonts) without having to tinker with each one individually. Hinting and AntiAliasing is usually also part of what you can adjust.

    @deadthousand Try one of the Verizon Data APNs - Some devices in the US can still connect as a Data only device, even though VoLTE isn't functioning. The rest won't work on Verizon without registering an IMS APN first. You did not specify your device, but in general, Verizon will not work with UT, except for models that are currently VoLTE capable and on Verizon's whitelist - In the US, that would be the Oneplus N10 and N100. OP 6/6T will be VoLTE capable shortly.

    @pparent did you notice that there are menus that are displaying fine in the ChromiumUT app ? the menus in the top bar are not working, but the Google application menu is working correctly (although there is a wobble the first time, maybe it's the automatic resizing you are referring to, but it's failing to stop it to work)

    That was the old UI and doesn't exists anymore. You can modify the code if you're familiar with QML/JS. Or you can download home screens app like Launcher Modular from the store but those acts like a normal app. You also can't disable the Launcher (left side bar) since it is integral to the overal design. May I know what you're trying to achieve and why the current Launcher and App drawer isn't enough?

    @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.

    Maybe the public can be divided into subgroups with different needs. Ubuntu Touch has to fulfill those needs. Newbies that are not so into terminal coding generally say Ubuntu Touch is buggy. That the text is so small overall. That the text cannot be easily adjusted. They cannot see the text! Major road block for some. The cookie nagging in Morph browser can drive somebody nuts, especially if they can't figure out how to block those cookie questions. Adblock exists in Openstore, but there may be difficulty to find a cookie question block solution. Or youtube ad blocking. Some newbies want a laptop Ubuntu Touch like a Xubuntu desktop. Few understand that literally means to work inside a Libertine container with a terminal, inside Ubuntu Touch, but still isolated from Ubuntu Touch. That they need a device with USB3, external monitor and desktop mode to get things done. Or with snaps. It is not easy to grasp how Ubuntu Touch really works inside as a newbie. Major road block. Offline GPS navigation with route planning is definitely on many newbies wishlist. If this part is too buggy it cools down emotions. Music player is there thankfully. Signal is probably one such app that has to exist on Ubuntu Touch natively and work well. There is no way around it. Communication is high priority for some and a show stopper for many if not available. Comparison: zoom does not exist for linux aarch64. Games do not focus on snapdragon chips. Result: people regret buying an arm computer because their wanted apps are not there. Same with linux distros lacking those apps people want. Others want EPUB3 in night mode with proper fonts and good rendering. Try to find any android app that can render epub3 with inline svg graphics as well as those two most used apps in Openstore. Here is the uniqueness in Ubuntu Touch. Still, the epub3 viewers have some noticeable bugs which cools emotions. Night mode flickering between pagination is one. What is downloaded most usually is most wanted by many. Many times it is games. The core apps are expected to be there but maybe do not get as much attention. Gameboy emulator is really good! No bugs there. Lets look at the app ISODrive. It really solves a big support issue. But it does not work in 24.04/daily. Creating a bootable USB-stick when your laptop needs reinstalling is a nightmare when you are travelling, right? Here you have a unique thing, but it is not working. Why not fix it? Such things make effect because they are needed and solve a real problem that arises quite frequently.

    @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.

    @pparent Hello. I was wondering if the UBports Foundation could contact one of the members of the European Parliament mentioned in this article to discuss a survival strategy...
