    I’m especially curious about performance improvements and app compatibility, because lightweight games likereally benefit from smooth rendering, low latency, and stable touch input. Th ese kinds of optimizations can make Ubuntu Touch more attractive for casual gaming and indie developers as well.

    There is not much we can do, as we run our own mailserver the big industry´s services might slowdon/filter that traffic. Its basically they give a .... about anything thats independently hosted and flag it or drop it. On my private email but also sometimes with UBports I am automatically added to GMail spam for every user I ever wrote to. For UBports mass mailing we even use a paid SMTP server as otherwise not much would come through.

    @DJac Comme j'ai mis dans la description de l'app pour cela il faut attendre que l'on passe à Qt6. Il faut être patient au niveau de l'upgrade systême, mais je pense qu'on peut maintenant l'espérer d'ici à quelques mois. Ensuite les messages fonctionneront bien! En attendant tu peux utiliser le Morph Qt6 beta, Min browser, ou Chromium for Ut.

    I would like to add to my list, a new priority 2 that since I upgraded my Vollaphone 22 to 24.04-1.1, I have recurrent crashes / freeze, seems an Out of memory problem, and might be related to the dialer and/or VoLTE. I did not have any similar problem before. It greatly reduce the reliability and usability of the phone unfortunately. https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/volla-phone-22/volla-mimameid/-/issues/24

    @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

    Hello everyone! I’m interested in app and game development for Ubuntu Touch, especially when it comes to fast-paced, touch-intensive [games like Geometry Dash. I’ve noticed that Geometry Dash (and similar rhythm/action games) really relies on smooth frame rates, accurate touch input, and efficient rendering. While Ubuntu Touch is a great platform for convergence and productivity, I believe there’s an opportunity to make it even better for casual and indie gaming. Here are a few questions and ideas I’d love to discuss: Game Engine Support What game engines are best supported on Ubuntu Touch for releasing games like Geometry Dash? Is Godot, Unity, or another engine recommended for touch performance? Touch Input Optimization Are there known tips or best practices for optimizing touch responsiveness on UT devices? Fast reaction games like Geometry Dash need precise input handling — any guidelines? Performance Tuning What tools or frameworks are available to measure and improve frame rate stability on UT? Are there benchmarks or test cases for GPU/CPU throttling during gameplay?

    Happy New Year! I hit the 1GB upload limit in GitLab, therefore there were no build for some time. The images in the artifacts.zip file are now bzip2 compressed, which brings me under the upload limit again. (I did not yet update the install instructions.) I made the following changes: I disabled a bunch of options which collects performance data and/or collect debug data The kernel is now built as optimized for performance, and tuned for Cortex A53 I turned the met driver ("MediaTek Embedded Technology") into an option, and turned it of. The met driver collects data which requires mostly proprietary tools to read I fixed all warnings from the device tree compiler I also spent a lot of time trying to get a 4.19 kernel to run. So far with no result - it boots but then crashes. The motivation here is that systemd requires at least a 4.15 kernel to support all features. Have fun, Kai

    I also struggled getting into a development ready state due to the readme inconsistencies. An unfortunate barrier to entry. That said, it looks like this would bring Clickable deps up to date for Noble (once merged): https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/merge_requests/254

    @uxes That is a great program, but I heard that ATL relies on GTK. Which is not integrated into UT. And besides, list of supported apps is limited compared to Waydroid.

    I honestly don't understand most of these thing. I don't know what NDK is But may I know what's the advantage of this? Would it have better performance? Also, I assume this can only be used on Android devices and not mainline?
