    @delijati Do you want to setup your RasPi as an OTA server for UT? Or are you looking to set up your RasPi to receive OTA updates?

    @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

    Anyway in the long run we will hopefully switch to Wayland when Mir2.x is included in the system, and then the OSK will be handled differently that it currently is. Not sure whether the 24.04.2 branch will include Mir2.x .

    Updates since my last post: I disabled more useless kernel features I had to add some code to keep the pstore feature working The WLAN and the Bluetooth driver are now compiled into the kernel The artifacts.zip now contains a vbmeta.img file to simplify the installation The repo now includes a script to disable the ugly "Orange State" warning. customizelk.py patches the lk.img from the stock ROM to just return from the function which displays the message. This also avoids the additional 5sec wait time. Please note that this is purely cosmetic. Have fun, Kai

    @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.

    I think the biggest difficulty for average users is not using Ubuntu Touch itself, but the procedures for unlocking the bootloader and, in most cases, downgrading the Android version, which requires studying and mastering procedures that are often quite complex, depending on the type of device. Indeed, officially supported, pre-installed and partner devices (Volla, somehow Fairphone and soon - Brax3 in particular) allow Ubuntu Touch to be used ‘out of the box’. Ubuntu Touch was designed in the spirit of ‘Ubuntu’, i.e. very simple, user-friendly and intuitive to use, at least for basic tasks. Many Ubuntu Touch users on Telegram threads have no IT skills and are very happy with UT. It all depends on the specific needs of the users. Most of the apps available in the OpenStore are great and very easy to use, but it is true that the catalogue is currently very limited, and WayDroid offers compatibility with certain Android apps, but unfortunately not those covering proprietary IoT applications. I would add that since 2020, when I started my experience with Ubuntu Touch, I have noticed a clear improvement in the performance and overall stability of the system. From this point of view, the gap between Android and iOS has narrowed considerably. To conclude, I personally use UT as a second device (holidays, leisure time), and am extremely happy with it!

    @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.
