    Hello everyone! I've always been a tech enthusiast, and by chance I wanted to see if there were any Linux alternatives for experimenting on an old Android phone. Thanks to everyone who keeps the project updated. After initial difficulties with the drivers and watching a video, I had no major problems with the installation.

    Thanks for sharing your Hotmail experience here. I had the same problem and had to use a Gmail account, and the next day I received the confirmation email. I almost gave up because I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong with the registration.

    @pparent said in Application Blablacar - connexion avec fb: Je dis ça car ces infos intéressent peut-être donc des non-francophones Malheureusement y'a peu de chances que les non francophones viennent lire la section frenchy C'est le problème avec les sections dédiées à d'autres langues sur n'importe-quel forum : la dilution des infos.

    After playing with UBTouch I decided to try PMos too but unfortunately I didn't like it and I would like to go back and install UBtouch. The phone is no longer reachable via ADB/Fastboot or even EDL by shorting the pins on the motherboard. I took it to an authorized Xiaomi center and they couldn't even flash the Android ROM again. I believe the problem is due to pmos installation which requires loading custom u-boot, custom kernel boot partition and deleting the factory dtbo partition. I tried a wipe from Recovery but I complicated the situation because I deleted the boot partition and I'm stuck in debug shell. I'd like to know if it's possible to reload the boot partition using a micro SD or SSD connected via USB. The debug shell commands are limited, and I don't have the advanced experience to do so. Thanks so much to anyone who can help.[image: 1766570174250-img_20251218_111120225_hdr_ae-2-resized.jpg] [image: 1766570180457-img_20251217_092819953_ae-2-resized.jpg]

    @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, 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!!

    @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.
