    I'm using UBports to flash the volla tablet to android, because I bought the UT version and I don't like it. I enabled dev mode in UT, and my PC connects to the Volla Tablet through UBports. But once it tries to reboot the tablet into bootloader, the screen goes black and nothing more happens. When I eventually turn the tablet back on, it boots and UBports goes to "Settings slots..." but at that time, the process is broken. It happens on several PCs and I have tried different cables. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for your initiative for making UT better and more reliable. Here are my ideas, although they are similar to what others had already mentioned: Priority 1: Sometimes the phone is stucking, almost freezing after using it a longer time without rebooting or using more apps than just 3-4. Then Lomiri seems to crash and just restarts. An annoying bug that we have since the beginning of UT back in 2015 is still present: When you've opened more than 3 apps and then want to restart or poweroff your device Lomiri crashes and restarts. Then you have to select restart/poweroff again. Priority 2: Like others already said: VoLTE is not reliable yet (but it's seems to be the "basic phone functionality" in more and more countries) WiFi is always trying o connect to last used network instead of the one which has the best signal Bluetooth is almost unusable (no file transfer possible, no hfp in any of my last 4 cars) Notification-area is too fragmented. I think it's better to have less indicators or an option to reach the most used on the same "page". Also it's often hard when swiping down from the notification-area to keep in line with the selected indicator and not to swipe to much to left/right and select the wrong one. I think RCS will be a next big point for UT to keep in line with Android/iOS Priority 3: The browser is of course outdated and it's more for basic browsing. It's even a bit laggy and slow compared to Android, but that's not as important than the outdated engine. The keyboard is sometimes hard to use and I'm writing sentences full of mistakes because of missing blanks and so on. But I don't know why it's happening, if the keys are to narrow or if the input is to slow? Priority 4: The "back" buttons in for example "dekko", uRSSes",... are hard to tap on or sometimes you have tapped on it and you can see the button-press but you have to tap on it again because it was to short or something else. Overall performance, it could be "smoother" when switching between apps and so on. The start-time of apps is much longer than under android, I don't know why they need so long to start. Even a simple app like calculator or clock needs several seconds to start... Support for rounded corners and notches is nowadays a must. When a new user installs UT on his phone and even the clock is not fully visible and there's also no option in the system to set it correctly he will instantly frustrated. Priority 5: Nice to Have - I think with the above points there's no time for "nice to have"

    @gpatel-fr said in Script for updating apps [help needed]: or is there more complicated clickable.json files ? Thanks for asking. Yep, when the json has nested elements it would fail? For example applying the script to this json: } [...] "kill": "qmlscene", "dependencies_host" : [ "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2" ] } will leave a yml file similar to [...] "kill": "qmlscene" "dependencies_host": "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2" and, I think, it should end with a list "dependencies_host": - "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2"

    Hello, I am currently running Ubuntu Unity 24.04 with Unity 7.7 desktop. I was wondering if it is possible to install Lomiri alongside to play around with it and switch between Unity 7.7 and Lomiri from the LightDM. I tried running Lomiri on Debian 13 but it did not work with multi-monitor in my case and so I cannot change to Lomiri as a primary desktop until this is repaired (as I see from the website, this is "under construction", per se). I love Unity and love to see the future of how this desktop develops as Lomiri formerly Unity 8. Thank you!!

    @bekun Yeah that's the ideal functionality. On Android, that works fine, at least on Samsung phones. In UT, all touchscreens are mapped to the built-in display. I was talking about on the desktops. Gnome have the same issue while KDE Plasma handles it fine.
