    @ma Thanks for your suggestion. Things are working now since downgrading to 24.04.1.x RC. I think the 24.04.2.x version had several things in read-only mode (only guessing from reading the logs that were generated). Even when trying commands as sudo, received similar errors "need root access, read access, etc". Appreciate your input.

    @richarddb Hallo Richard! Ik heb wel een paar antwoorden over mijn eigen gebruik: bankzaken: op de bank. Thuis, op de laptop. Signal: Signal in Waydroid als primaire client, en elke twee maanden even aan. Signal UT als secondaire client. Werkt goed. Delta Chat: Delta Touch. Werkt goed. Proton mail, Proton Pass: weet ik niet, gebruik ik niet. Mastodon gebruik ik niet maar ik zie wel Mastodon apps in de Open Store, die zou ik eerst eens proberen.

    @k.nacke Many thanks for all information, most of all for linux-specific quidance. @k.nacke said in Unlock Bootloader – How To Unlock?: No USB drivers etc. are needed, and no need to download binaries from random websites. Gooood point, only after a while I realized that the "lenovousbdriver.com" page is not from lenovo. Thankfully I haven't used those files. @k.nacke said in Unlock Bootloader – How To Unlock?: A good strategy is to use RSA to download the firmware file, and save that file I'll definitely do it. In case it would be deleted in the future... I'll try to install UTouch at weekend and come back with feedback how it goes

    @kugiigi said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.2: There's a known issue with bluetooth where it is in a state where your paired devices aren't listed in the bluetooth page and you can't connect. Thank you, I will experiment when I have more time than I do today.

    @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

    @linhmieu2 You need to determine the VNDK level of your Android firmware, e.g. with adb shell getprop | grep vndk or using the Treble info app. Use that number to look up the corresponding Android version, e.g. at API levels. For example, if the VNDK version is 34, then you need to put deviceinfo_halium_version="14" in your deviceinfo file. The VNDK level is the API version level, and this it what counts for halium. Note that the version derived in this way may not correspond the Android version your device displays. E.g. I have a OnePlus 11 running Android 15, but the VNDK version is still 33, which corresponds to Android 13. For this device, I need to use 13 as the halium version. You may also want to put the number as ApiLevel into the /etc/gbinder.conf file in your system overlay. There is no "Android 12 kernel". I think it would be better if you post the concrete problems you encounter. The telegram group for porters is also a good place to ask or search for answers. Kai

    @lxxlxx said in Cross compiling for arm64: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal Oddly enough http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/ has no arm64 folder... Oh, a quick Google Search revealed the link should actually be http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/binary-arm64/

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

    @idonthatevests Interesting. For what it's worth, I'm very confident that mine was glitchy before I ever installed uFirefox. I did have Ambot Installer for the more limited Lomiri toolkit, but I'm not sure whether ithas anything to do with that. Mine always seems to glitch out after notification/SMS. I always kinda figured something about my install was messed up, though I did install what I thought was the appropriate firmware and do the whole MSM&EDL mode thing. I mostly ignored this issue thinking that if it only affected my phone, it's not that important. But it'd be handy if we could pin it down.
