Hi @Plarde
Thanks for your contribution.
And you're right, it's important to discuss such matter.
I don't know how involved you already are in the system development.
I'll make the assumption that you're more an app developer from the argument you made.
So I don't want to go too deep as this is a topic that I don't master.
One argument that can be made against it is that it will make the system image grow even larger when it's already too large for some devices.
So the current situation is that such library/framework have to be packaged within the click.
I guess the clickable template with already included SDL is a very good idea and should help developers wishing to use SDL tremendously as not many people are familiar with clicks and it can be cumbersome to build a simple app...
I'll let other people prove me wrong or go deeper in the explanations.
Kindly yours.

Hello.
If this application is indeed an apk for Android, have you tried extracting it (via apkextractor for example) from the Android phone, transferring the apk to the UBT phone and installing it in waydroid?
I've recovered a few apks from my old phone this way. Some work, some don't.
Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-8 is released. Thank you everyone involved in testing.

Since this needs to be implemented in Mir, this feature will have to wait once we move to Mir 2.x and fortunately Marius already have it working so there's progress
Someone just needs to be willing and skilled to implement it

With the latest daily build, it works with my Redmi Note 9 Pro (Orange provider)
For me it's the Lomiri message app that can't send a new SMS. (receive is OK) while SMS sending works in command line with ofono.
@mariogrip said in This week in development (week 52 2024):
I'd like to start posting weekly development updates here on the forums - this is a bit of an experiment, so please let me know if you find these updates useful and what could be improved.
I think it's a great idea, and I think starting a fresh weekly thread would improve things. If once a week is too much, consider a slower pace that's easier to stick to.

I overlayed touch.pa for two reasons:
to make bluetooth calls work more reliable.
So this one maybe get fixed by the MR.
to make wired headphones work. For this it was needed to explicitly add the rate=48000 parameter to the load-module command:

Just wanted to say thank you!
OTA-7 arrived tonight on my Redmi Note 9S and I applied it successfully.
All seems perfectly fine.
So thank you for continuous hard work!
Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-6 is released. Thank you everyone involved in testing.

Hi @pe3noATo2DOTpl
Ubuntu Touch is very different from Ubuntu Desktop.
Also snaps are now available thanks to Snapz0r an app developed by Alfred.
Alfred was not payed for this and deserves kuddos and support from the community for this.
Still, the official packaging system for Ubuntu Touch is Click.
I don't know what your post was about but be assured that if it comes (one day) to this kind of decision we will think about it.
But in the meantime, enjoy having the possibility to install snaps as well as click on your Ubuntu Touch device.
Hi @Enrico13011978
If you want to bring AppImage to Ubuntu Touch like Alfred brought Snaps, you're more than welcome.
The more the merrier.
@Keneda I got one of these devices to install UT on it, but the bootloader unlocking procedure was and still is a nightmare for Xiaomi devices. It also needed the screen replacing which I have. It's just a matter of getting around to it.
As this thread was created to test the RC that would become OTA-5, and since OTA-5 has been released, I will lock this thread
Any bugs found on OTA-5 going forward should ideally be reported on GitLab. If you would like community input on your particular issue please open a dedicated thread for that.
