@MrT10001 said in Redmi note 9s doubt with Ubuntu Touch: @Vistaus Yes, my Redmi 9 works fine. From experience, warranty is not worth the paper it is printed on, especially on a device over a year old. I have taken the leap of faith on many a device. But I don't currently have the Redmi Note 9S, only the regular Redmi 9 with Ubuntu Touch, so if I were to buy the 9S now, it would be new and not over a year old. That makes a difference warranty-wise.

@MrT10001 I 100% agree with that, but I guess Xiaomi users are still lucky it is at least possible. There are vendors which won't let you "own" a purchased device at all (in a sense of doing whatever you want with it).

ill prob figure this out do this do to the fact i have so many demands lol!

I have noticed greater success using the fastboot version over the recovery version then just running the batch file from the command line also many versions have a broken sensors idk what the deal is there so make sure your screen rotates before installing UT

So actually the absolute best way to recover xaiomi devices is to use a xaiomi fastboot recovery file it has a script that will install thru fastboot just run the script i have had pretty much zero luck trying to flash using recovery methods

@siriusf SOLVED! Steps: i) Follow the instructions in the links bellow to use the bypass tool (python script). You will need to press the up an down buttons so that Windows can detect the device. After running the bypass python script I obtained this and the device was shut down. [image: 1681669338538-screenshot-2023-04-16-155845.png] ii) I did NOT turn on the device. Then I use the ROM file (fastboot) provided here https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-9a and the Mediatek SP Flash tool with this instructions to flash to the device https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-redmi-9a

@13lenar I don't about any native IR app on UT. I use it sucessfully with "Mi Remote" on Waydroid

@mecej2007 None of these apps you mentioned have support for Ubuntu Touch's push notification system, so you won't get any notifications from them

The recording affects some other halium 10 devices too. See this issue for a temporary fix https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/2022 About the low audio, never had it myself, make sure you don't have the camera app in the background when playing audio, or don't play from multiple sources at once. A quick fix is also restarting pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k instead of rebooting

This works. Many thanks

@linuxomane this happens if you close other apps that use the audio, while you are using them, browser, media player, camera, etc... Regards...

About this issue. I don't use any external hardware that uses OTG and when the issue was first brought to me it has just late. My only clue right now it's an issue with a kernel upstream patch, notified the contribuitor that helps me with the kernel version patches and hopefully will get it fixed in the next RC and OTA.

@madas Above is all written, the version of the mobile has to be android 10,

@nitanmarcel Looks not that difficult, I have to remember to get it the way it was before the OTA update. Do you have any information when it will be released?

@nitanmarcel 2 days is a good battery time compared to some other devices ^^

@mrt10001 Actually I'm glad you've read the installer instructions but I'm prety sure I've also added a link to a firmware list (read more or anyway at the end of that specific section). You didn't need mi flash tool nor windows. Just find a fastboot ROM, unpack it (once) and run the flash_all.bat or flash_all.sh on linux when connected with fastboot. But glad you managed to get to the end of it. Enjoy Ubuntu Touch p.s: for more questions join t.me/ut_miatoll . I'm pretty much non-active here

@keneda I haven't had much luck with these despite having them installed. Either because I was doing something wrong or because I picked the wrong apps to try with. Fortunately I don't need these for the few apps that I have to use. https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status

@keneda It's in the devices subforum so it's easy to guess he's talking about one of his phone :)) There are 5 phones (4 codenames) joyeuse, curtana, excalibur, gram.

Hello. First things first very sorry for the late reply. You probably bought another device or you found a way to use anbox/waydroid. I am still typing because i want to give some information for those who want to install Ubuntu Touch on their Redmi Note 9. Regarding your question, you don't need adb to install waydroid (anbox is long gone now and waydroid is much better) and you can install whatsapp easily inside waydroid. Just go to OpenStore and download waydroid helper. For other people who want to learn about this device, it is daily driveable. But there are bugs here and there. These are the list of bugs that i remember: Connecting the device to a pc doesn't work therefore no sideloading and no adb Brightness slider doesn't work correctly. You can get to the level of brightness that you want but it takes some work. Because brightness slider doesn't work, when you turn off or on your screen for a split second the brightness rises up. This isn't a problem on daylight but may cause small "flashes" on night. Camera notch isn't aligned with the black bar where wifi icons etc. are. Also, this device has rounded corners so you cannot see AM/PM fully. 5.This is not a bug but camera software is really bad. But it works. This is the most important bug. Power cycle isn't working correctly. For example, if i try to turn off the phone, it works for 7/10 of the time. In that 3/10 the phone reboots instead of shutting down. Same thing with rebooting. But holding down power button resets the whole phone so rebooting is not a problem. These are all the bugs. Some of you may find these bugs critical, some of you may not. Also remember: you can reset to stock miui with fastboot flashing. Just hold down volume down and power until you see fastboot and then using XiaomiFlash flash back to stock firmware.
