    @UBportsNews Can you please remind people about the 'community favourite app' awards that will happen toward the end of the year. Toward the end of the year we will run the 'community favourite app awards' where we the community votes on our favourite apps for the year. Keep your eyes on what you use daily, pay attention when an app has some great updates and remember all those new apps. youll want all that info for the nominations and voting later. If you have ideas for fundraising for an award please do offer suggestions. It would be great to have something substantial to give the developers.

    Thanks @tusch001 this was very helpful and worked on the stable Focal channel with Snapz0r installed. I would recommend one change: the sed command should read- sudo snap run libinput.list-devices | sed -n '/himax-stylus/,+20p' instead of: sudo snap run libinput.list-devices | sed -n '/himax-stylus,+20p' A few practical questions for you or anyone else: What kind of daily battery life are you seeing for the stylus, over how many hours of use? Do we know if it's compatible with other UT devices? In Libertine, is there a convenient way to anchor the stylus' nib to things like scroll bars? I've been trying to scroll up/down on VS Code but it's quite cumbersome and feels like I have to press it multiple times then do a small flick to get it to scroll by a little bit every time. Kind of much like using my finger (it's just that the nib is so much more small and thus more of a precision instrument compared to anyone's finger!). Unfortunately I need to figure out how to get my Volla Keyboard accessory working again and thus I don't have access to its touchpad and a mouse cursor (I've been using a bluetooth keyboard instead), so this would be a great workaround for the time being if it's possible. On an OS level: Hopefully someone can formally implement this into an OTA upgrade for the tablet on Noble and potentially even a maintenance release on Focal? The code changes look straightforward if they're just about changing the udev rules and such. I have been working on contributing to app development on and off but as a) the tablet is a bit of a daily driver for me and I like to keep it on the stable channel and b) contributing to OS patches is something I'm not really familiar or comfortable with, it would be excellent to see this happen if someone else can help out.

    @stevetheobscure Tips: Follow this and be patient, very patient... First off, run it through the installer and install Xenial or Focal. If it boots into the OS, great, don't power off and leave it charged. If it hangs though, at the Lenovo splash screen, this is the patient part....Follow these steps.... Power off. Boot to recovery In recovery Format data and cache, Mount the system and reboot to recovery. In recovery now mount the system and reboot to recovery - do this at least eight times on the final time reboot to the bootloader. Connect to the PC and with command prompt open run fastboot continue, leave it for 20 seconds, if no boot, power off and boot to fastboot and repeat this step four times. Still no boot after step 5, boot to fastboot and run the command fastboot reboot. Do this at least four times, but by now, it should boot. if the above steps fail, leave it for an hour and repeat. It took a while for me to work this out, but it has worked every time on these tablets, I was just very patient.

    Hello all, It has been decided to postpone the new contact backend to 26.04.x to avoid slowing down the overall roadmap. We will try to move also at that time to the new calendar backend.. 2 major internal changes in a row. I keep you informed.

    @Linus67 said: I might have one wish: a multi-page app drawer (vertical or horizontal) or some other way of grouping apps rather than simply sorting them by name. Perhaps with horizontal dividers or spacing. It is currently under development and there is a €2,000 bounty for it (issue #127): https://os-sci.com/lomiri#Contribute

    I wouldn't use a META product if there were alternatives. But there are a lot of people who are very resistant to change. There are groups for their kids' school activities: soccer, tennis, music, and so on. If you use Ubuntu Touch every day, a lightweight QML app like Greenline is perfect. You can check WhatsApp messages when needed. In an emergency, you can send a message like, “I'll be 10 minutes late.” Personally, I prefer a WhatsApp alternative that is fast and stable, uses few resources, and adapts well to changes in WhatsApp’s data structure—such as the Go library, whatsmeow, protobuf structures, and WebSocket conditions on the servers. I don’t need features like video or forms. If someone wants all of WhatsApp’s features (including META AI) on Ubuntu Touch, then they have the wrong device. Keep Greenline lean, efficient, and adaptable to changes at Meta for a long life on Ubuntu Touch. Many people and groups still need some time before they’re ready to switch to alternatives.

    Hi @Thomasb98, There is a documentation: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction/ Hope it helps... It seems feasible because this device is supported by lineageos and kernel source code is available: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/PL2/ Do you have the version with 4 GB of RAM or the one with 3 GB?

    Since you care about it, you are the most likely person to make it happen. In order to make it happen, what's needed is: the ability to unlock the bootloader the kernel source someone who is willing and able, and has the skills or is willing to learn and who has the device in hands. If all of these conditions are met, it could happen. Since this question is not about any existing port or port-in-progress, it will now be moved to the 'off topic' category.
