    @peat_psuwit OK. I give up. No joy here. Where do I set this 'ubuntu-touch-24.04-1.x'? Then, I guess I run 'clickable clean-images' after 'clickable update-images'?

    Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 is available for testing. Notable changes The dialog warning users to disable Wi-Fi before sending MMS has been removed due to false positives. You can now disconnect from wireless display from the virtual touchpad on the phone's screen. (picture of the feature) Media playback control is fixed in the top-panel indicator, in applications, and over Bluetooth headset. Bug fixes and stability improvements across the system. Known issues It's a long-standing issue that fingerprint sensor on Fairphone 5 does not always work. It's unclear when this might happen. This might manifest itself as keyboard for the login password prompt jumps up and down very rapidly; this is due to Lomiri repeatedly getting error from fingerprint sensor. You may still see a placeholder text as part of first boot's "What's new" page. We'll provide another update to fix the issue. (ubuntu-touch-meta#3) If you're already running Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 2, you'll be offered Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 automatically. Otherwise, follow the same instructions as outlined above.

    @arubislander said in unknown filesystem type 'overlay'.: @dafeihong you probably want to run those tools in a LXD container. Try searching for LXD on Ubuntu Touch in the forum. Thank you very much. It sounds like the container solution I need. I'll go check its support for these tools.

    To clarify a bit, you cannot unlock the bootloader in UT, because you cannot lock the bootloader when running UT. We do not have signed kernels and system image for verified boot, and on some devices the OS image had to be placed on userdata due to size constraints of the system partition. There is also no adb as UT is not Android, so no "USB Debugging" options. What exactly is the issue you are having that someone told you that you need to do these things?

    @arubislander I thought directly compiling ofono-binder would offer more VoLTE settings options, but it seems I need to change my approach. I'm flashing the system again now, hoping that this time it will resolve the issue of enabling VoLTE for unsupported SIM cards. Thank you.

    So I tried Tedit but it wouldn't display the contents of the plaintext document. I also exported my db to a csv file but sorting through that garbled mess was going to be a chore. I then remembered that there was a Bitwarden app so I downloaded that but it no longer works as of last year according to Github issues. I next tried to load the Bitwarden website but Morph and uWolf wouldn't display the page. I then finally found a way. I created a note with the logins I needed on Nextcloud and synced Jotit Cloud Notes with my account which brought the note down so I could copy and paste the data. A happy ending. Still better than typing out multiple 40 character passwords manually.

    @Simmonz similar behavior, but different cause I guess.

    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.

    @readyblue 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.
